I had something I was tracking that I thought was hung up in Hong Kong show up on my doorstep Friday. Never got any notification of it coming thru SF. Kind of a nice surprise to start the weekend. :)

Thats where I'm at. 1 package stalled in HK 5 days now. As its USPS I figured the long weekend would be a factor even in HK.

    I really like mine. I've had them for about a month. Work great. Nice clearomizer. Nice size. I really like the VW setting.
    I think you will like it.

    Will them cleao's take the higher power then? Or you have to keep it lower for them? Right now using tanks and use to vaping between 4 and 5 volts.

    So what ohm coils are you using? Often I find people Vaping high Volts and using Hi ohm coils 3.0-3.5 and up.
    Same difference using lower power and lower ohm coils.
    I have a 3.7 unregulated ego type battery that will give you a lung burn when fully charged and running a 1.7ohm coil.:ohmy:

    I just checked resistance on the one I am using right now. It's 2.2ohm. It should be ok. I use the watt or power setting on mine. Usually set mine anywhere from 7 to 9 watts.

    I have had 5 these Pyrex DCT's in heavy rotation for 6 weeks now and I am really impressed with them. They are defiantly pyrex and they have held up to great with several good drops onto concrete and my hard wood floors. They fit both smoktech flanged cartos and boge XL cartos like a glove. I can pick up my vamo in 18650 mode by the tank and shake it pretty good without the carto slipping any, that really surprised me to be honest. The finish is holding up great so far, and I have not been babying them at all tossing them in my pocket with keys and such. My only complaint's on them is the fact that the end caps are not removable, which I am getting used to and the fact that included carto tasted funny, which at this price wasn't really a big deal. These are a great deal if you are looking for a cheap carto tank, just get some good cartos to put in them.

    They have had it since Tuesday Ref !

    Most recently since Thur. because of the pointless question they asked me that they totally have the answer to.

    I'm a FT fan (not to be confused with fanboi) but they are dropping the ball here big time. And, it would appear that I am not the only one it is happening to. Growing to big to fast if you ask me.

    Not trying to defend them, more just passing my experience along, they should have given you an answer before the weekend.

    They did give him an answer - they asked him for the information that he did not give when he made his request.
    He just expected them to hunt up the information, instead of simply making it fast and easy by giving it up front.
    They declined to look it up for him - told him to look it up and provide it - that is his first answer.

    Now that he has given them the information necessary to process his request, it should only take 3 BUSINESS days, of course he did choose typhoon time when notices are posted that customer service may take several extra days to do this, so it might take a bit longer. But if he had simply provided the necessary information in the first place, it would have already been done. Nobody to blame but himself.

    There are a couple of things not operating normally right now.
    For some reason, Fasttech is not picking and shipping orders as quickly as they used to. I have to assume they are growing a little too fast and are somewhat understaffed or breaking in new employees. I have one item that has been in stock since I ordered it 10 days ago and it has still not shipped out.
    Secondly, something weird is going on with the actual postal services. I had a shipment leave Fasttech 6 days ago and it still wasn't accepted in HG. Then, the very next day, it says it is in Indianapolis sorting facility.

    On top of it all, we are all gonna go nuts in the US because like a lot of others I suspect, our orders are in town ready for delivery, but because of the holiday there won't be any mail until Tuesday... HAH! It's sitting in the building 2 miles form my house and i have to wait 4 days to get it... hehe

    Monthly order placed. Experimenting with some Hangsen liquid, trying some peach and a couple different menthol/mints. Also another charger and a t3s because they sent me the wrong one last month. If the menthol ends up being decent that'll probably be my new adv. Saves me a couple bucks per 30ml vs the liqua.

    Oh, and I won't complain because it clearly states that the order will ship in 3 days. :)

    I got away from placing big orders and now place daily and often multiple ones which is running way smoother. Things seem pretty normal to me. I do have the occasional stall here and there with 2 in stock orders received depending on what days they fall on a day or 2 apart but that is normal for FT in my book. Sometimes Stock status does change after you order and it stalls the shipment but again this also happens @ FT. I can only imagine how many orders they get blasted within short amounts of time.

    Not sure how you get to your conclusion here... I'm going thru a very similar experience, my question with them (for a few returns) has been going back and forth for more than 2 weeks - 5 times with 2-3 business days in between each time...

    Most of us are big fans of FT over here or we wouldn't be following this thread religiously. I've spent hundreds of dollars with them and have recommended them on various forums but things are definitely going downhill over there. I put in an order on an X6 mod, it said ships in 3 business days and that was 2 weeks ago. It never shipped and now it says "restocking".

    I submitted 6 reviews; the 3 positive ones made it in 24 hours, the rest of them that were less glowing have been "pending approval" since Aug. 24th! and that really miffs me considering how much I, for one, rely on those reviews.

    Such is the price of success I suppose but I do hope that we can get our old FT back soon.

    They have always listed my neg reviews.

    Hey Jo-Jo, I'm sending you a great big clue thought. Did you get it? Good. Now you have a clue because it is evident that you didn't have one before you made this post.

    Here's a suggestion, if you don't have a clue what your talking about, maybe you shouldn't.

    Somewhere out there
    I kinda went nuts this past week when they listed a bunch of new drip tips. I ordered a total of 37 drip tips and a couple of other small items. I though I was being clever by making 2 separate orders, one for the items showing "in stock" and another for the ones that were "ships in 3 day". It turns out that they must have run out of one of the drip tip sets, because both orders are still pending shipment.

    The drip tips will get here when they get here, but I am anxious to try out the mini protank (clone) $8.30 Mini Protank E-Cigarette Atomizer (1.5mL) - translucent / 2.5ohm / removable drip tip / 2*coil head at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping in the second order.

    On another note, I'm quite pleased with the KWX5 clearo https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...5-electronic-cigarette-round-mouth-atomizer-2. It seems to be polyproplyne, judging by the frosted appearance. I think they overstate the capacity, it's smaller than an evod.
