Fastest shipping from fasttech I've ever seen. Private v2 was shipped last Tuesday and would've come yesterday if not for the holiday. It took some fiddling to get my trident clone on it but it's performing great. If anyone else orders one be sure to clean it out well beforehand. This thing was dirty and the brass on the bottom button looks dirty. Worth the $20 easily.

My iTaste VV V3.0 must have been sitting next to yours, same story. Ordered 4th, shipped 5th, acceptance 8th, was at my post office yesterday, delivered today, Vaping with NOW... :2cool:

The batteries I purchased from FT in August were boxed in pairs in good, sturdy plastic cases and then thoroughly bubble-wrapped. The ones I got from a local vendor here were just put in a bubble envelope. Guess whose packaging I trust????

On a happier note, my last package from late September has arrived (15 days, which is totally normal for here - my post office might even have made an effort...:). It's a stainless steel Chi You and it is a beauty...sturdy, beautifully made and a real little charmer. In 18350 mode it is the same size as my little Bagua, to which it is very similar, and in 18650 mode, it is still very manageable for a little old lady.

OK, I really didn't need it, but given as to how nice it is to use and how well it works, and how pretty-shiny it is as well, it's definitely going to be used. A lot. :vapor:

I actually managed the feat of 15 days without ordering anything vape-related from anywhere...until my colleagues needed more eliquid and I just so felt I had to had to had to order some (plus some more heads and little stuff)...yeah, right...I was just looking for an excuse... now I REALLY don't need anything until, uh, November???

The irony is that, at least as far as I can tell, two batteries in the plastic battery box is no good but one battery in each box (up to 8 per package) is OK. None of it makes a whole lot of sense. It's almost like -- lithium batteries are dangerous so they need to be packaged and labeled a certain way, unless it's a huge pack in a laptop so for practical reasons, sure, everyone carry one aboard. Silly safety theatre at work.

Grr, ordered on the 4th 'shipped' on teh 5th and still the tracking number shows nothing. Sent a mail to them and they basically said to be patient. I knew there might be a delay in shipment if I got batteries so I purposely did not order any. I am not known for patience when my money has been given for a service or product and I'm left empty handed.

    It's only been 10 days, if you wanted it quick you shouldn't of ordered from china, some people are waiting over a month for their packages, if you get your package in 2-3 weeks, then your one of the lucky ones.

    I was lucky, I ordered coils on the 27th September, and I got them today, not to bad time wise, had coils anyway, so was in no rush :)

    It seems that their holiday week created all kind of problems with postal services. In my particular case a package with no batteries got sent back on monday but my order was from the 27th...same problem as you, no update on the tracking until one day i got a msg with a new tracking number.

    You misunderstood Agavehound, he's not complaining about the shipping time but the fact that his tracking number is not working. 10 days to update the shipping status is way too much imho, while 10 days for shipping time would be godly :p

    Seriously, find and deal with a B&M near you. China does not operate on our level or to our run to the store expectations.

    You're already making accusations and haven't even given it time. Minimum is normally 3-5 days to show in acceptance. USPS new tracking system is effecting that. I just confirmed a package at HKP through another system that USPS still shows as non-existent.

    I'm just reporting what people in the help forum at FT had said about batteries and the foil (since I never got mine).It is an international law that has been around but HK post had not implemented it until Sept. I got tired of not getting any answers on my order and moved on. I have ordered from Europe many times and never has one problem in tracking and it did not take a month. If I had known shipping would take a month I would have never ordered batteries in the first place just to save $8.But since this I have found other venders to buy from.

    I've decided to bum rush him in the street as soon as he pulls up.
