Going back a few pages...still looking for a bagua 2 tone clone in 14500 size...anybody out there see anything? I'm surprised I haven't been able to track anything down yet...seems like it would be a popular mod. So far the only thing I have found is in the link below, but it's that wholesale crap and I'm not trying to buy 5 of them...

Bagua Compatible Automatic Electronic Cigarette Battery Tube

Can't vouch for chinabuye, it has been recommended for other people here and around the forum. I ordered a KFL clone on friday, they said they had it in stock, it's still "processing".

I'll probably cancel if the order doesn't move before thursday.

The stainless/brushed ones are already stateside at places like vaportekusa for just a few bucks more. That's not what I'm looking for though, I want the two tone brass/stainless one.

How are things moving these days if no batteries are involved?

Got my Protank II fullsize and Protank II mini in with my Bolt and Kick

P.S. WASH the CRAP out of these tanks...they taste like you are chewing on a chunk of tire if you don't!

This is the Bolt(shorty) with a 18350 and kick in it, it does have the 33.3hz rattlesnake like the Vamo V3, and I CAN tell the difference between the vape, the PWM is quite a bit hotter and both are set for 6.5watts [and if you could define a taste...the PWM vape even though it is tasty...just tastes a bit more sharp and edgy]

That Protank 2 looks AWESOME on that MVP2 doesn't it


Waiting on my 18500's from RTDVapor to come in

This is that Lambo Bagua you seek. It's not stainless though. If you like the new Camaro you can't be that picky

My Fogger V3 will be delivered today. The KayFTun is now stateside as of today so it looks like I will have the SvoeMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer this week too.

ALL 5+ of my recent Fasttech packages have been received in record times of 6/7 days.

 

[scrappy]

17 days and counting for my ticket to return 2 defective atomizers for store credit. It takes 3-5 days every time just to get a response to dialog with the ticket.

For anyone curious about the atomizers, one was a immortalizer that had both screws stripped and the other was a trident that had a really loose 510 connection. It was so loose that I couldn't tighten it down on any of my mods.

I got that one from CB (see avatar). I have a v6 from FT mounted on it for dripping. All in all, I like it. I paid 7 bux more+ shipping to get one like it from VT. Happy with both

Seems it did take a bit to process it, and about a month (four weeks) to get here.

 

[TXEAGLE]

So my K103 finally got here yesterday..threw a battery in it, put a tank on it and....nothing. I tried it with flat top and button top 18350 and nothing is working. Anybody else grab one of these? If so is it working for you? I really don't wanna have to go through the hassle of sending it back

 

[Capt.shay]

Hi Capt Shay - Not to add to the any negativity in this thread, but misery loves company
I'm in a same boat. I ordered on the 21st and its been frozen at acceptance since the 24th.
Day 2 with no response to my ticket. I suppose all they'll be able to say is its being held at the post office.
It really makes me wonder what happened at the HK post office on the 24th? I believe I"m the 3rd person in this thread to mention orders being held since the 24th. Unless the post office moves it along or sends it back to them I suspect the folks at fasttech will be as in the dark as we are. Its a shame I like fasttech, fun site to poke through and great pricing, but I think once I'm clean on this order that will be it for me. Until HK learns how to run a postal service, its useless to order from them.

I wouldn't dare post this on their community forum - its brutal to read.

Do you think we missed the window of opportunity to order from fasttech in time for Christmas
Had to add some humor to lighten the mood.....


UPDATE - I just got a response from my ticket and as I suspected, what can they say. It's the post office at fault, not fasttech. They apologized for the delay and explained its the on-going xray requirement at the post office. I thanked them, closed the ticket and felt like an idiot for having opened it. If the status shows as returned to fasttech, its an issue they can and will handle. If the status is at being held in the post office, fasttech is as much out of control as we are.
Lesson learned - I'll go back to trying to be patient

Same experience here. I'm keeping the ticket open and responding immediately. Keep the pressure on. It is China and they are commerce driven. We complain to them they complain to the mail service Etc. Etc. I have learned never to close a ticket because the longer it is open the more likely they will respond to it. Lydia could have said "I have put a search request on your package" but she didn't even bother with that, not that would do any good but again with the pressure. We shall see. It is what it is. Some times it's craps and some times it's snake eyes.

I found the wording in this line from Lydia to be interesting : "recently the postal union has launched a wave of scrutiny which covers all major postal airmail shippers in Asia." I wonder if "union" means labor union like it does here in the states or if it is a translation thing and union means more like department or branch. I wonder if it is a labor type dispute? Not important or even relevant to our plight but I am curious. Being of the liberal bent, I would feel better in some way if the wait was being caused by the workers trying to get better conditions. But, it's probably just about money like always.

Thinking about placing the next 3 months worth of orders at the end of this month to avoid holidays in both the US and in China. Seems like a smart idea..

China doesn't have labour unions in the western sense. The ones they have are run by the GVT employer. Basically it just means the GVT has told Postal employees to check all packages.

It seems that FT aren't making up stories about the delays and increased Postal inspections.

Not too bad. Nemy replacement head, some empty bottles, microfiber cloths, drip tips, X10 tank, RG500 tank, replace coils and a ruler.

Not sure I will get today may be tomorrow but it is at my post office this morning. Sometimes it will go out today but maybe tomorrow. 5 days from Hong Kong to my post office on the east coast. Not bad.

Yea, kind of figured it was like that with the "union" thing. I'll still stick with it being about money. Somehow, it always is.

 

[bluecat]

Yep. The question is: Did USPS suppress the tracking information on purpose? It's happening more and more. FastTech is not paying for tracking, so why should USPS provide it for free?

Doubt they suppressed on purpose. It is not required to scan the packages until delivery (I think express mail or something is). They do it more of a courtesy.
