Round N Round the Mulberry Bush
My first order was placed on the 9th of september. It is now in my hands on the 21st. All this fuss is about nothing. I think if you break up your orders into very small orders it will have a higher chance of getting through customs. (just a theory tho)

I mean, if you have a package with $200 worth of litium batteries....it could turn some heads, but if you break it up into 10 orders of $20 each, then all those packages might have a chance of getting through.
I don't know about that, though.
I only have two orders..one with a set of 5 driptips (ordered 9/3) and another with a TVS mod (ordered 9/9) and that is all.
They are both still in HK as of 9/11.
I suspect they are still in the bottleneck that was created when the inspections happened.
It seems as though orders that were processed through FT after a later date has gotten through/bypassed the bottleneck.

I really like a couple items I received today from FastTech:

EGO-T Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1292800

USB Cable Connected Wired Battery for Electronic Cigarette
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1368706

Together they make a great set-up for dripping. I'm using a 1000mA AC power adapter I picked up from a popular vendor based in North Carolina. The Passthrough device is solid and the Atomizer fits perfectly. It doesn't come with a mouthpiece, so I'm vaping directly off the Atomizer. I have a mouthpiece in my wishlist I hope will work:

That USB bypass runs at 5vdc, I have to run 2.8Ω or higher heads or you can taste burnt metal because it gets HOT fast (the one I ordered came with a 2.2Ω head!!!

Thanks for that link by the way...glad to see it fasttech

oh and just like the ones I got from another site...there isn't a "stress relief" knot in the cable inside the case, only a tiny glob of glue so if you pull the cable too hard it can break the tiny wires inside, easy to fix...but sux when it breaks because it will happen at the worse time! ;) (ask me how I know)

OH GREAT!

In conjunction with the first holiday...the daggum Typhoon and now this!
In observance of National Day, FastTech will be partially closed from Oct 1st to Oct 6th HKT and will resume full operations on the morning of Oct 7th.

If you item hasn't shipped, it's STILL going to be there...unless it all gets blown away by the typhoon!

Lol my little USB pass through did the same thing, I decided to gut the connector and save the pcb for a later use ( I had 2 of the tiny ones).

Little copper tubing and a few day of fiddling after work... Not pocket friendly at all, and my boss requested I no longer use it at work... But the degenerates that live in the building we are renovating cry about anything we do. Don't want to give anyone an excuse to run me off from another job site :)

I think it's just luck. I have two packages. The first was ordered also on the 9th and is finally being sorted to leave HK today. All that's in there is a $15 dripper.

Why set myself up for frustration when I have enough stuff to hand to vape for months without any ordering.

And there in a phrase is the exact perfect time to be ordering cheap goods from around the world. Press the button, forget and vape on with your plentiful stocks.

Gentlemen and ladies - or vice-versa - we must be patient.

I have an order that has shipped and should be on the way that was shipped on the 28th August.

It will happen. Just have faith.

unless it has batteries in it,,,,,,,,,then you might just be SOL. I guess I just want to know at this point, with my package sitting in HK for 15 days,,,,,,,,,,if it's been sent BACK,,,,or if I'm actually going to RECEIVE it at some point.

Not FT's fault,,,,,,,I just wish I knew.

I've had an order in acceptancr state since 9/5. Order contains an MVP and 30ml eliquid among other things. Opened a ticket. FT just says we have to wait. Not FT's fault but this will definitely make think before placing any more orders.

You have me beat. Mines only been in acceptance since the 9th. There HAS to be several bins stashed somewhere that they have forgotten about or are ignoring because they are embarrassed they've been there so freakin long.

Try August 31st. Vamo V3 and 2 18650s. Starting to realize the $25 I saved might not be worth the wait. Really can't fault Fasttech though, order went out from them the day i ordered it.

My mech appears to have hit to have hit San Francisco today. My batteries and other pieces don't appear to be so lucky, despite having shipped a day or two earlier. I guess that's OK; I can get new batteries for the mech, but not the other way around...

I don't know who is closest to you or what type you need but of all up your way I KNOW steam cigs will have the batteries. Awesome Vapes should have and N Ga Vape might have 18650. I have no idea about the one in Suwanee.

Oh, Fry's Electronics has 18650's. Possibly cheaper than the vape shops.

100% agree,,,,,,not their fault, but it does make ordering from them again something I might have to re-think,,,,,,probably my fault for not considering this could happen,,,,,,,but i swear, people were bragging about how fast they were getting their orders when I decided to order :D bad luck and timing I guess,,,,,,,,
 
I have a magnificent juice here that needs a topper like a CE4... anything 'stronger' than the CE4 coil system burns the juice. Problem is, the juice is citrus based, so it is a tank cracker. I've tried the Boge carto tank MUTED flavor, Protank - MUTED, what hits like a CE4 but isn't made of this polycarb style plastic?

It's not FastTech, but... Mad Vapes has a CE4 style clearo from Smok Tech called the Redux. Comes in plastic, but they sell a replacement stainless steel body for it. I have one, but I haven't used the stainless body yet because you can't see the liquid level (need to fill it with a syringe so you know how much you've put in, them wait for a dry hit so you know it's empty...), but it's on a par with a dripper from the ease-of-use standpoint.

[Also, have you tries it in a Vivi-Nova? There are metal tubes available for them, too.]

I have 2 metal vivi novas they have been consigned to the vapocalypse box. Can I get them working after a fashion? YES but they leak like sieves and I just don't like messing with them.
 
Got an innokin itaste svd and an innokin iclear 30 from them,never looked back.Top quality and great vape especially from the iclear 30,it rocks!!!The iclear 30 has a great vape and taste to match right down to the last drop of juice.all my friends have placed orders and I have bought another two,as they aren't expensive.Also the itaste svd leaves my vamo in the background as it has a much better build and quality to it and gives ,I think better functions.A happy customer of Fasttech , will shop again.

I love the iTaste SVD I got from FastTech. I'm still not sure I like the look of the iClear 30, but I did order a couple of iClear 16s from FT and I'm really liking the vape from them. The only problem is that, being dual-coil, they go through liquid pretty fast. So I'm starting to think I should pick up some iClear 30s...

I'll probably hit steam cigs again later this week, maybe Thursday on the way home from work.
I've got a pair of 18350s for use with a DIY e-pipe, so I'm not completely battery-less. :)

I've also got a copper pipe DIY in the works (finished the first ugly working version just a little while ago), and was able to borrow an 18650 from a friend for testing purposes, but I've got to give that one back on Monday.
