    I got coils this week, took 3 weeks to get to me from order, but they was a ship in 3 days too, think most new orders are getting through quicker again now, 2-3 weeks average.

    I already spent my monthly budget, but the kayfun clone looks great. I'm not too fond of original logos on the clones but i'll probably get one of those in the future.

    Received a package from another chinese vendor, pisces clone, ithaka clone and Hangsen Usa Mix Mint, all of these are sold by FT(the ithaka has a matte finish but they are the same sans the brass pin).
    I like the Mix Mint a little bit more than the Liqua because of it has tobacco flavor in it, vaping it on my new ithaka might get adv status :p

    I can't add anything on the ithaka that hasn't been talked before in this very thread, the original design of this atty is amazing, i might buy 1 original one just to support the mastermind behind it.

    Last, but not least, the pisces clone. Great little mech, it's TINY, i was expecting something in the lines of the outer tube of the SVD but it's slimmer. Length wise in 18650 mode it's like an inch smaller than the SVD in 18350 mode.
    If someone was afraid a mech would look bulky, the pisces might be for you. Now i might buy another just to use in 18500 mode with a tiny carto tank from ibtanked :p

    You just HAVE to love the look of Ithaka, it's SO sexy. I have the Rainbow Heaven version sitting on a Sigelei 8W (Caravella clone) .... it looks mighty nice.

    It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I placed my order. After finally leaving Singapore it has now been stuck on "International item has left originating country and is en route to Canada" status for the last 8 days with Canada Post. No further activity. Has anyone else had it take this long to reach their country after the item was shipped? I think they must have sent it by mule. If it was in customs it would say so, so I don't know what's going on. I created a ticket with FT.

    My last order used SP, it was on the 24th, didn't appear on their system until the 7th and it got home today(it got to uruguay on the 16th) just wait a little longer, i'm sure it will get there :)

    My tracking status on Quantium still just says 'order received' but according to Canada Post it has left for Canada, so did you try running your tracking # with your domestic courrier?

    zipeee! VAPEMAIL today. Ordered 10/10, received 10/18 in Indiana. 8 days order to doorstep.
    I think that's my new fastest delivery time (no batteries).

    2 more Nemesis clones and a Chi clone along with 1/2 dozen x8 tanks. Now I can't wait til I get my AIOS tank... man it's gonna be a long wait, I am really looking forward to getting that going. I've actually considered trying to get a genuine AIOS but then this magically popped up on FT

    Ok guys just ordered an m16 sentinel in brass. I wont buy my batteries from fasttech because of the problem they are having over there. Can anyone tell me if the need flat or button top batteries? Planning on getting 18650's

    Either should work. For Mechs I only use Flat Tops.

    After receiving a mail saying that my order had shipped on Wednesday. I got a mail Friday that said...

    "We’re writing to tell you that due to current strict inspection of the aviation security, packages containing lithium battery will have high possibility of being return to us.

    Considering the risk of being returned, we are compelled to take out the battery 1053201 and send the other parts of this order. We will arrange refund once gets your confirmation.

    Sorry for being unable to arrange the shipment for the orders that included lithium batteries, because there were too many orders being affected. Your understanding would be highly appreciated."

    So it seems that when you are informed that something is shipped, it isn't really.

    I told them to take out the batteries, and ship as quickly as they can.

    Only place it shows up is quantum whatever and that's only up to the point where it was dropped off at the post office, nothing showing up for anything else (17track,USPS,sp post, a few other tracking sites)

    I called this whole fiasco from day one, well over two months ago. Some people were like "oh, it's just a glitz" or what ever. The bottom line is they are flailing away in the deep end and they can't handle it. They took on more than they could chew and then the whole shipping thing buried them. The slow customer service/tickets taking multiple days to respond and then sending nonsense post started a month before the shipping thing. They are swamped and need to hire more help. And, I agree with Szot, I don't think half the responses were made by an English speaking individual. They are canned responses. On a ticket for a missing item, they twice insisted that I send pictures of the missing item. They had no idea what they were reading, they just knew there weren't any pictures posted so they punched in a pre-canned response.

    But, hey, it is what it is. If you can stand the rules then play the game. If not, then state side vendors might be better for you.

    I'll NEVER complain about FT shipping or CS again.
    I wanted an iTazte v3 in chameleon. FT doesn't carry that color. I ordered from a US vendor w/ a presence on ECF. Battery was DOA
    It would take me days and days and days to relate all I have been through trying to get them to replace it. It has been absolutely abusive.
    Just my 2 cents.
    and I do have 2 orders (again) sitting in HK for over a week now. I am just keeping quiet and being patient. I was one who had a package in the Sept. 6 chaos and it finally came through (I surely hope CommaHolly gets hers soon as she was my waiting buddy) so I think these 2 will show up, as well.
    I paid $53 to get the color I wanted from the US vendor. It was for the kit w/ 5 iclear 16, battery, charger and wall wart. The battery and charger are less than $25. at FT.
    hard lesson learned.
    Just because the vendor is US and has a presence on ECF is no surety that you won't have problems.
