The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

[bluecat]

I have an rca tv and a hp slimline computer.

Hmmm maybe be tough to do that depending on the age the TV. If you want I can hit you by pms and try to walk you through it. As in anything trying to get newer tech to work on older tech is a nitemare. If the two were close it is just a matter of a cable.

I have never tried but....you may be in luck mate.

Most of these just pull data from the computer/server not exactly a screen display type. If you are looking for watching you pics and movies from you computer then yes... If you are looking to play video games that may take some work but it should be possible just depends on your gear.

So 70 bucks in total? Not a bad deal, but if just looking for streaming a Roku would be cheaper even though I hate non keyboard remotes.

I have a sony media player. I like the touch pad on back and full keyboard on other side of it. Again the apps are crap though. The way it searches Directtv , Amazon and Netflix for something to watch is pretty darn cool though.

I like it because it does everything it does, but needs only a tinny space at the side of the display. You hardly can notice it!

Think you have your answer then. Most people have no clue what this stuff is. I have heard Chromecast is good as well and similarly priced.

Quick searching shows good stuff and bad stuff. Typical of tech.

What I was thinking of was an hdmi cable to connect the two. then some kind of remote that could combine both. My tv is a flatscreen but not a smart tv. It's smart enough just shows tv programs lol.

Waite 45 days and you wont be able to.

C'est la vie. (I had to look-up that expression) It sums up my feelings about getting the shaft by ordering from "half way around the world". When I first entered the vaping world in August I was amazed that people were ordering directly from China. I thought it was nuts. When I ordered I had my eyes wide open. I knew there was a chance I would get burned. So far I've received everything I ordered. I've been consistently disappointed by fasttech's messy operation. But, it's been entertaining. I keep my orders right around $20 each. If one doesn't arrive and FastTech refuses to fix the issue, I'll write it off as a learning experience.

I wish I had your money. If I spend $100 at FT and it takes 3 months to get to me, then asumming a good rate of 12% per annum if I had invested the money then my Goods have cost me $103 in real terms. You are raising a paypal dispute and cancelling your order and so you will pay far more by buying locally.

I have patience because I do not have YOUR money. If you want to spend extra and buy locally then it's not because you can't afford to leave your cash with FT for a few weeks ( or even 3 months).

The point is clear to me. FT is not an investment firm but a middle man in China. Trying to deceive customers along with the HK post office has nothing to do with saving money it has to do with honesty in advertising and being honest with their customers.

I'd like to know how FT received my email address as I was notified that the Protank 2 is now in stock.

It is amazing isn't it. When I got into vaping 1.5 years ago I order the same products from US vendors at double the cost not including shipping. It took a couple days to get here granted, but got the some decent devices and some crappy ones. My biggest issue was the liquids. Man that was hit and miss and half of my expense.

"I keep my orders right around $20 each. If one doesn't arrive and FastTech refuses to fix the issue, I'll write it off as a learning experience." Exactly as I do. I dropped 20 bucks on a movie a few years back and it was crappy, really really really crappy and we left 30 minutes in. I told the movie theater that I wanted my money back because it was a crappy movie. They said sorry sir no refunds. Hey the popcorn was good (overpriced) and I haven't been back to the movie theater.

Have you ordered from them or got on their mailing list?

Not sure how they are deceiving customers?

 

[klynnn]

Of all my orders I think the sep was the longest, all others have been less than 3 weeks. Just got 1 last week and 1 the day before yesterday. Maybe I have just been lucky for a change, most of my orders have been around 100.00. I can't complain at all in fact I'm happy as a clam and very well stocked for the apocalypse.

Super typhoon in phillipines headed straight into hong kong....being called biggest storm ever....expect more delays

500 miles wide, wind speed over 200mph, over 50 ft waves, high death count expected....... yep, it's a big one.

Looks like it is heading south of Hong Kong, I wouldn't want to be in the Philippines or in Vietnam though.

Bad times ahead for them :/ I hope everyone makes it through without excessive loss

 

[Elex300]

The thing that irritates me is my tracking says it was returned. FT tells me they have to verify it was returned before they can do something. It says right there in black and white "returned to sender". What more verification do you need? Im glad this was only a $30 order. Now I see how they handle business,lesson learned.

 

[Steve K]

It also appears that some battery orders like ego's are making it through and some aren't for whatever reason I'm pretty upset about my order being returned to fasttech,Was really anticipating it.My friend recently had one battery in his order and tracking says it will be shipped out of china tommorrow.Best thing probably is place multiple orders,Like order something wait till its accepted then place another order ect.If I knew this was going to happen I would've gone about the order differently.But I have to say they responded to my Messages fast and returned the money quickly.

My package from 10/11 was returned to FastTech on 10/18... It was just delivered to me on 11/07. Apparently the package was returned to FastTech and they sent it straight back out with the same tracking number... it got through Hong kong Post the 2nd time and made it to me...

No I have never ordered from them. I have looked at their site and looked up the ProTank2 to find that their price for the Kanger was more then I can purchase it here. I also looked up the MVP 2 which again I can get it in the states for less. As far as deceiving customers they advertise the Evod clearomizer, but in fact it is not a Evod but a clone. If you are trying to buy name brands on FT be advised to make sure it says authentic Kanger, etc. FT has a issue with shipping batteries as you read these posts it's clear lots of orders are being sent back to FT. Maybe shipping batteries to other countries is not a problem for FT, but it is a problem shipping them to the US.

 

[klynnn]

The reason FT doesn't want to refund orders in mass is because a lot of them that said they were returned on the tracking have been delivered to the person ordering. I just got 2 new 18650 batteries last week so some are making it through. I don't believe FT is evil or trying to deceive as some seem to think. They are definitely overwhelmed by the vape community and they seem to be trying their best to keep up. JMHO

Maybe they noticed your name across all the FT threads and assumed you were a potential customer due to your continued interest in them.

I never got an email from them except to say thanks for your money. Even FT doesn't like me. Wish someone would hijack my email then maybe I would get something other than some dude wanting to split 100 million dollars with me and all I need to do is to give them name address and social and once the will is complete I will get my money.

Maybe you did since you started most of the FT threads. Since when can't a member post on a open thread?

 

[puchox]

I really do understand everyone that is having problems with FT right now, i bought a genuine KFL with batteries from a US vendor and the package arrived at my forwarders office with only a plastic case and some juice he put on the box.

I still don't know where the KFL disappeared if it never got shipped, stolen somewhere along the line or some "clever" employee of my forwarder decided to make a new vaping kit for him :/


Now back onto FT, pretty lackluster selection today in the new arrivals. I keep refreshing the new arrivals every day until i see the hammer clone and then i'm done...right?...right?

 

[klynnn]

The only message I like is Out for Delivery! Usually my mail lady says this one was pretty quick, when is the next one?
