Man that sux! So weird there are any v1's left over for that to happen. You are in for more wait but I have confidence FT will take care of you in due time. Do you mind me asking what color you purchased?

Which color and was it 16's or the 30? When did you order?

Details help us all.

Black with the 30, ordered on the 9th of September. :)

My little experiment with creating a real cheap e-cig turned out okay.

510-T 180mAh Automatic USB Rechargeable Battery
Price $2.98 each (when you order qty 5)
$3.37 510-T 180mAh Automatic USB Rechargeable Battery for EGO Electronic Cigarette at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I put this battery together with a $1.59 carto I got from madvapes and it vapes pretty good. I'd have no problem spending $4.57 to hand a smoker a e-cig. Honestly, the vapor is just as good as my Halo G6.


Aye mate my volts are just as good as my spinners which is just as good as my svd. I just dont see the difference. Once you get your atties paired up with the volts, it's all the same..sans battery life.

Just wish oct would get here so I can get that nemy clone.

Any of the regular FT customers here spring for speedpost? I ordered today for the first time and decided to upgrade shipping since I know international snail mail is ludicrous at times with delays and such..... Just curious if anyone has feedback regarding this service and transit times or delays VS. free shipping methods.

How much did it cost to upgrade?

I still enjoy the stick e-cigs like the Halo G6. This cheap fasttech configuration works perfectly for when you're running a few errands and you want sneak in a few vapes along the way. The draw is really easy. You don't have to pull too hard to get the vapor. Is the easy draw more of a battery thing, or a cartomizer thing?

My first order from FT:

Order Total:$148.49

Got it today (not everything is for me, some of that is for friends, who still has no PayPal).
As you can see, even battery and 2in1 package (also had battery) arrived, yet, it took 3 weeks to do so. But i'm pretty sure everything is travelling pretty slow to Lithuania...

off-topic: Any thoughts about whole this list? Maybe some ideas/questions/tips?

You probably already know , but since you asked, you do know that some of those are tank crackers and you didn't buy a glass tank, so I hope you already have one.
And, some of those taste really awesome, after they have steeped for a couple of weeks.

Other than that, great haul - have fun:vapor::vapor::evil::vapor::vapor:

Does anyone have any experience with this one :

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1381403
TMP Mechanical Mod / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment

I think it's a clone of something called Blade, that I saw on a you tube review one time and thought was so great the way it slide to activate.

off topice - if there are any DIY juice folks here ... please come to the PIF DIY area and trade with me ... thanks.

It all depends. Could be any number of things from liquid viscosity to air holes to air paths. I have some that are airy others not so airy. I chalk it up to the luck of the draw.

I keep some disposables around for when I want that cig feel.

I saw the blade ones as well as the matrix mods. I am constantly looking for 14500 mods for "pocketability"

Those seem to be a little different in that they are for 18xxx batteries. But overall it was the main selling point for the blade and the matrix mods.

I think you nailed it! It's the air holes where my no-name FT 510 180mAh battery meets the SmokTech 2.5 Ohm Cartomizer (Single Coil) from MadVapes. There is definitely some daylight there. The Halo G6 KR808D-1 connection has no daylight between the carto and battery. You gotta pull pretty hard to vape it. This explains my wife's reaction to this new set-up. She really likes it, but doesn't care for the G6 at all.

Sometimes back the atty off a bit will allow more air (it could also make it wobbly) or taking a hacksaw to the underside to get a groove in there from the post to the outside (of the atty). One of the reason I like these cheap clones, I get to use all the cool toys that have been bought for Christmas presents over the last 20 years since I have been married that I had no idea what to do with them. I go down to work bench and stare at the little delivery device on it and take an hour or so to say what the heck.. Sometimes it works sometimes it hits the trash bin.... I would much rather a 5 dollar thing hit the trash rather than a 200 dollar item.

Oh I like Madvapes as well.

Wow, my order actually shipped next day when it said next day. I'm shocked. Maybe it'll get here by Christmas. Lol

Not looking for a fight, but in my experience (a lot of orders), FT ships when they say they are going to, or before. I've only had one or two items go into restocking status instead of shipping.

This being said, what happens to our orders when they are at HK outgoing customs is obviously a very different kettle of fish. I've had very good experience with my recent orders - SP has had them on planes fairly quickly.
