Anybody else miss the first shipment of the Kraken who was trying to get one? I missed the first boat, placed an order on 11/22 or 11/24 somewhere around there with a brass drip tip to go along, knowing it was about a week's time before they would get the Kraken in stock. Low and behold, it said scheduled shipment date was 12/3. Long story short, 12/3 came and went, and I got an email stating that they were just going to send out my drip tip all by itself and that their supplier did not have the correct (if any) items in stock so they could not sent the Kraken out at the same time. There's currently no ETA as to when the Kraken is going to be sent out. Kinda bummed, really hoping to have this before Christmas to go with the Nemesis my wife already bought me stateside. Booooo!!!!


Yep, me too... Didn't get any details with my email though, just the same old generic one I always get.

Edit:

Mine is moving along at least, I mean the one they shipped, the other is awaiting a I-go that said ships next day when I ordered it :glare:

The Mighty Mouse package:

CONFIRMED PICK UP REQUEST ......................30/Nov/2013 10:19:42 HONG KONG
PICK UP ARRIVED AT ORIGIN HUB .................02/Dec/2013 20:30:46 HONG KONG
ITEM PROCESSING AT ORIGIN HUB ................04/Dec/2013 14:49:27 HONG KONG
ITEM DESPATCHED TO TRANSSHIPMENT HUB ...04/Dec/2013 21:26:52 HONG KONG

I'm still in limbo on my Ithaka. I chose the one with logos because it said ships in 5 business days vs 10 for the non logo version but I'm on 8 business days now and it's still showing restocking.

Just to update, My "ships next day" that changed to "ships in two days" then "ships in four days" now says "restocking". Is restocking FT speak for "We have no idea what we are doing here any more"?

Generally Restocking means the truck has arrived with stock. Now it has to be unloaded/sorted/count verified and set to stocking locations. Next a portion of the new stock is moved to pick locations. Then orders are pulled/packaged and shipped.

You should see movement later today or tomorrow.

I work in warehousing Distribution for a large US store chain.:D

Well, yea, that's what it would be in the US. But let's face it, some times, stuff gets lost in translation:

mi important half of my order is with the mailman since yesterday at 10pm!! (that's weird) but still today I'll receive my immortalizer, another IGO-W and a bunch of driptips and empty bottles!!

Just ordered an IGO W and L, they are waiting for the L to be ready. Are they easy to coil? The reason I ordered them is because my skill with recoiling the viva types has dissipated. For some reason every single coil I wrapped for the X6 has been "non" on the SVD. ( Every coil for the RG500 and other bottom coil from FT have been perfect for me at 2.1-2.6.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, so I figured maybe these would be easier. I have also drastically reduced my vaping time so if I can get 20 drops in these, I should be good for the day.

The L is what is holding up my order. I put 15 drops in it usually with no problems. But, Remember that a dripper is not a sealed system and unless you keep it upright or with the breather hole facing up, you will leak all over the place. IE: you can't really pocket carry it safely.
 
Just ordered some christmas presents for myself!

IGO-L
Ithaka clone (w/logo)
Fogger V2
Chromed brass chi-you clone

The IGO is saying it will ship on the 9th and the ithaka on the 11th. Got my fingers crossed these things will actually get to me by christmas! A buddy of mine has the same ithaka clone and damn is it sexy, of course, it would be that that is slowing things down :( C'mon FT!

Aye, thanks. Basically will be using it at home. I carry spinners with me and carts or viva type when I drive. I always lay my devices down too. I will have to remember to keep the up.

Strange thing.. I believe the order said the W will ship on the 11th and the L on the 9th. Looked today and the W is ready to ship.

Also after DIY for a year I broke the dust out of the wallet and order some liquid, not from Ft though. I didn;t want to get caught up in any mess.

it takes some time getting used to them as they don't have post holes, it's easy, don't get me wrong, but the RDAs with post holes are easier..
Vapero, that Immortalizer looks beautiful inside. Let me know how you like it.

I just hope it isn't DOA as a lot of guys are reporting

I always carry my mod on the small key pocket of my jeans with the airhole facing the front, that way when I'm standing it is uptight and when I sit the airhole is facing up never had a problem like that and I'm a serial dripper

Same here, was hoping to have this by Christmas along with my nemesis clone. Received my first order from Fasttech with-in a couple weeks which was shipped HK post, When I made my order for the Nemesis and Kraken I selected the same shipping option as I previously used but this time it seems to have went Singapore Post. Fasttechs site is showing a ship date of 11/23, all I am getting on the Singapore tracking site is a notice of electronic shipment received on 11/25. Hopefully Ill see these orders by Christmas.

Good! I'm glad you got them, and that Puchox has lots!

I think my battery supply problem is solved now, at least for the next 6 months or more. To add to the pairs I got from FT in August, before the battery mess started, I took apart an old Toshiba laptop battery pack I happened to have sitting on a shelf under my desk. The laptop died of hard drive failure a few years ago. The battery pack yielded 8 perfectly good Sony 18650s at 2400 MaHs :)

I had the batteries tested by an electrician neighbour and they are all fine. He was a bit surprised to see me arrive with a fistful of 18650s, but he recovered from the shock pretty well...:)
