The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[jimbothigpen]

OK, I think I have a problem... I'm a fasttech junkie!

Just ordered 4 each of these (a set for everyone in the family -- we all have the same phones):

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1139901 Qi Wireless Receiver for S3
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1462100 Qi Dual-USB 8000mAh Wireless Charger

And this for me:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1508502 10000mAh Solar Battery/USB Charger

Maybe I'm one of a few lucky ones, but I've recently had two separate orders with potentially problematic contents arrive in the US -- one with 2 x 186500 batteries, the other with 15 x 10ml Hangsen juices. Hopefully I'll have similar luck with the 5 batteries I just ordered!

Ordered 7 juices on the 18th and had them the 28th. Just ordered a sentinel m16 about 10 hours ago and it's in packaging process. Just hoping it'll be shipped fine.


Edit: I have two egos and one charger. Been running this setup for 3 months and never had a problem. Now I'm going to a sentinel and two 18650s with one charger.

Which 18650? I just picked up the m16 in brass. Love it. My first mechanical. I bought 2 aw imr 18650 1600 mah batteries from lighthound. This thing hits like a champ. I got brass because reviews for the other one said the threads strip easily. Goodluck with your purchase.

And that is why FT has lost not only battery sales for me but I paid quite a bit more for a SVD locally. I just don't feel like messing around with these inconsistent made up rules.

Yep I think I'm done too. A couple extra bucks and I can just get stuff from the states and won't have to fret about it. Maybe ebay will be easier on me haha.

They must have cleaned out one of the dark corners of HKP. My order of 8/31, in "Acceptance" since 9/5 has just been "Processed through the Sort Facility". Funny? I just asked for a cancellation of the order on the 2 month anniversary of my order. 4 Days for FT to respond with request asking for more patience since the package was moving. To bad I've already replaced the key items in my order from other sources. I guess I'll have a backup MVP now.

Keep the faith and just remember who you are dealing with and where they are when placing orders.

Customs may have a problem with the internal flux capacitor.

 

[pcrdude]

SO, I'm "officially" wondering if my 18650 batteries ordered last week are gonna get through......

 

[ArcherB]

Well you forgot the Golden Rule ! ! !

Always Have Backups, and Backups of Your Backups. 2 EGO's and one charger for as long as you have been vaping is a poor setup (I have a LOTS more than that & several chargers). You should have tripple that at the very least. Yes to start, to see if it is for you, 1 set of batteries and 1 charger is fine. But once you see that this is what you want, order another set & charger. Then after a month or so order another set and charger (savings from NOT smoking will pay for these). Then if you want to venture to some of the mods or something, great. But always have backups, and backups of your Backups. This also applies to cartos, tanks, EVOD,s, coils, etc, ALL YOUR HARDWARE AND JUICE. I see posts all the time of someone with this going bad, or running out of juice, and NOT having backups. It is not like smoking where you can just run to the store to pick up another pack of stinkies. And NEVER order from FT unless it is just for spare/backup stuff that you won't need for over a month. I was upset with my FT order that took 47 days, but I had plenty of stuff to keep me going, I was just upset with how long it took, not that I needed it today or I would go back to the stinkies. If you are going on a long drive do you wait until you run out of gas and then gripe because there is not a station close? Come on, always be prepared for what life craps on you.

Rant Over

BTW Sorry for all the troubles you are having, but sometimes Murphy is a Bi$#$#.

Vape On

To be fair, I had two chargers. Both worked, but one had a flaky connection; it would only work when the cable was angled just right. Two weeks ago, the one with a good connection failed. Last week, the flaky connection got too flaky to handle. I would set it up just right and it would be charging, and come back five minutes later to see that the light had gone out. Also, I don't think it was getting a very good charge as neither of my batteries would last for more than an hour and take at least six to charge.

To keep this on topic, one of my batteries went out about a month ago and FastTech is sending a replacement, but that left HK this morning. Yes, it appears to be moving! Also, I think they are sending a whole kit rather than just a battery, which would mean another charger.

Finally, thanks for all the offers from everyone, the concern, the well wishes and especially the world's smallest violin. This is by far the best community I've had the honor of being part of.

With all that said, I awoke this morning to a brand new MVP2. I don't know if it's the one we ordered from 101Vapes as my wife was incapable of giving a coherent answer at 5:30 this morning. So now, I'm back to vaping and loving the MVP2. Also, a big hat's off kudos to 101Vape for being willing to work with us. I don't know what they would have been willing to do to go the extra mile for us, but they handled the first mile pretty well. I have no complaints and will gladly order from them again.

I did get a good laugh from reading about it. No way could it ever work.

Whilst you might not get the advertised savings in fuel economy, the increase in sexual performance levels more than make it worth the price.

A benefit I didn't notice. It just now might be a bargain. Plugging a cell phone charger may increase gas mileage too. LOL

Best review I have read in a long time, the part about the pants lumps got me. Hi freaking larious.

 

[RubyRuby]

I'm sorry Ruby, I hate to be a downer. I just feel like I can't win. Used an ego to find out I like vaping and successfully quit smoking for about six months.
Order a mod so I can keep vaping in case something happens to my egos. BZZT! HKP blocks it.
Order an MVP2 from an American reseller so HKP can't screw it up. BZZT! Local mail carrier loses/steals it.
Good think I have my egos to fall back on. I have two of those. BZZT! Charger dies. Both ego batteries are worthless.

It's so frustrating.

No one else seems to be having these problems so I'm sure you'll be fine. Like I said, it just appears that God doesn't want me to vape.

(is there one of those animated emoticons for the world's smallest violin?)

There should be an emoticon for that.... and you would definitely be entitled to use it right now. How are you coping? maybe patches or gum or something or everything to keep off the cigarettes until the post office gets its stuff together & delivers you something?
I know that they say 'backups for your backups' all over on here, but without a b&m store - it takes a while to get there. And hung up in the PO is a real pain - I know that I don't want to keep buying & buying just hoping that something actually reaches me.
I don't believe that God is ever anti-vaping....

Same with me, kiddo.
The good news is I LOVE MY MVP2.
