The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[lisancentraltx]

Ughhhh! Stop fighting! We're typing & reading text on a computer. Words can be spoken with connotations leaning toward an opinion, but Ray's posts can be taken different ways and he's not a azz :/ and VVV is now closed, so he is no longer a vendor. Just an average Joe like the rest of us, talking about shipping times and waiting times being not only hard on customers, but also on vendors waiting to sell to customers as well.

Now, moving on - I want my e-pipe and I want it NOW!



It's landed an hour away and is being sorted in that PO. I've got my eReader charging, I need to buy a bottle of wine, candles are in place... a decadent hot soak reading an eBook and vaping my new smok e-pipe will be a reality very soon =]

I know yous guys are drooling over my e-pipe but terrified of a hot bubble bath

i completely agree. in fact my most used mod is a k100 i got from FT.

It actually really caught me by surprise too. I'm so used to the Chinese making incredibly crappy mech mods that the first time I held one of the newer clones (a Nemesis) I refused to believe that it was Chinese made. It took me a few minutes of close studying to see things like subpar engraving, but then I accepted it.

Gotta love those Chinese. Ironic that a Communist country is SOOO much better at free-market Capitalism than we are.

Other way around actually.

What can I say, this guy likes bubble baths! And I aint afraid to say it!

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I was thinking about ordering from Fasttech for the first time. How do the non-Kanger branded protank heads stack up in comparison?

TIA!

This is my previous epipe setup... the top one.

Now I need to turn these pieces into a magnificent epipe :/

E-Pipe Mechanical Mod
Stainless Steel Curved Drip Tip
T1 SCT Single Coil Cartomizer Tank (2.5mL)
Rocket-Sax T8 Atomizer (1.8mL)

I recently got some of the FT generic EVOD heads. They are doable out of the package. THey improve immensly when recoiled. The quality seems to be a bit hit or miss.2/5 were ok, 1/5 was great, 2/5 were a hellish tight draw

I can't recoil for beans (I shake too much. ) so hmm. I might just have to stick with the vendor I usually use. Thanks for the feedback, though!

If you can be steady enough to wrap the legs of a coil around a screw or into the screw hole, you should keep an eye out - I have seen premade coils popping up at several vendors recently.

Hmmm.....
Reason why I posted in this thread, that would probably be because the thread title says "The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts".
I didn't realize it was strictly for fans and not welcome to dissenting opinions.

I'm glad you all have had good luck with this company. I just have spent much more time reading about the misery in the Negative reviews.
At least it's PayPal and you can always dispute it there, which seems to be the most common recourse for issues.

Since I'm not a troll and don't seem to be welcome to have a differing opinion, I'll just move along and hope you don't run into the real joys of dealing with an overseas vendor that really doesn't give a -- about customer service. Think that's wrong? See the post made by the guy who was told to mail his defective mod back to Hong Kong for credit.

 

[lisancentraltx]

Good luck, bad luck... we all take a chance =] I've had FT ask me to mail back an item - I just looked around until I found my own fix =] But when I received a set of Protanks with broken glass, I sent them pictures and nothing had to be returned... now I wait for them to come back in so I can get replacements, though :/

 

[JRudey]

Thanks. USPS is still waiting to see the goods. Or, maybe my 10/08 order will arrive in my mailbox without hitting the tracking system like some I've read about. Everything I ordered was "In Stock".

Status = Origin Post is Preparing Shipment for both my tracking numbers.

My 10/08 order surfaced in America:

November 6, 2013 , 3:25 pm
Processed through USPS Sort Facility
NEW YORK, NY 10199

No idea why it went to New York. My first 4 FastTech orders shipped via Singapore Post. (wasn't my choice) All 4 of those orders went through New York. I figured this Hong Kong Post order would land in San Francisco.

Mail has been odd lately... some items go through Dallas, some to Houston, and some to Austin... And I ordered items from the same company... I have no idea what is going on with the shipping companies :/ I had a package 'Out for delivery' for 4 days in a city and hour from me... Emailed the company and said I paid for 2 day shipping, why is FedEx circling another city with my package for 4 days now?

The Rocket Sax is such an awesome looking atty for a pipe... But I hate that the coils aren't replaceable. I guess we've been spoiled by Vivi Novas and ProTanks.

A sad truth of the internet is that the dissatisfied customer will always be more vocal than the satisfied one. Does FT have issues? Of course it does. Does it still provide a great store to purchase some of the newest vape gear to come out of China at dirt cheap prices? You betcha!

And while it's true that this thread is labeled as being for all FastTech posts you know that it's mainly intended for fans. Doesn't mean that you can't post criticism, just means that you better have your armor on for the responses.

I have a non FT order that has been sitting in PA now in 'acceptance' for two Days now. And an order from NJ that was made on Oct 26th and just left NJ today.

So yes, it is not just HKP that is sometimes screwed up. Even American vendors using solely American shipping can be screwed up and take a long time. The difference? No customs trips.

No kidding. My wife ordered some tights from Groupon and they've been sitting at a distribution center that's less than 50 miles away for a week. I personally think postal services are where they unload the short bus after graduation.

Yeah, I just got it for grins and giggles, but I've got to find something for the new Smok epipe :/ I'm thinking the bent silver drip tip with the Eternity... I ADORE my Eternity and have some Blueberry pipe juice in it now... I take it on walks with me every morning =]

Eternity Electronic Cigarette Rebuildable Atomizer - 1.8-2.4
Stainless Steel Curved Drip Tip

Vapemail today!



Ok, so I laughed. This thing is a 'little' bigger than I thought. Maybe not the best thing to use in the living room aquarium(JK, the kids would shoot me). I must say though, its pretty well made for what it is. It really would do nicely for small fish like stream trout, and pan fish in a pinch. I can see packing this in a back pack for hiking/camping as a backup survival tool, but I won't be using it to catch these..



But hey, I have other rods for that (this is a small one)

I know both of my Son-n-Laws will love this! Of course i HAVE to test drive them first (safety reasons LOL)

I ordered this on the 28th of Aug, was accepted on the first of Nov., shipped today. Not to bad I'd say.

For ten bux n change, this was a good buy
