It means "Round Eye, you more wait for cheap stuff".
As far as I can tell, it means it is in the airport shipping area awaiting or in the process of getting on a plane and heading to the U.S. I've had two there since the 21st. Last package was in "preparing" for 5 days.
I do have this little guy... there is a little well that can hold liquid BUT there is also a hollow central post that leads to the firing pin. you tilt her and she floods =] That's not to say that I don't over fill her with a bit more than 10 drops of liquid and vape to my heart's content to determine whether I want this juice in a larger topper. It has the little slotted screws with no heads on them. I couldn't find the name of them, so I found something that LOOKS like them save the slot for the screw. Now, they'll rust if you are not careful, so I clean it and coat vg/pg on it. Sorry for the poor picture quality, I prefer my little digital and have yet to learn how to use the better camera we have LOL Oh, and I bejewled her... just to have her stand out as a dripper when I want to test new juice =]
Do you have a link for this little guy?
Could this effectively be used as a bottom feeder on a vmod or REO etc?

Issues with my stuff.
I have placed 5 orders with Fasttech. Three have arrived. Two are still in transit in the US.
Everything was good, but.
Krakens: ordered 3. One works. The second one is missing thread on the 510- a lot. It's about a mm which makes it impossible to connect to any device. The overall machining looks good, but it is hard to understand how such an obvious mistake could have slipped through QC. The third one has an internal short. Checked it out with my VOM. Did not even bother to wick and coil them. The coil wire in the kit is useless since it appears to be 24 g wire.
TEC Flashlight mod: it suddenly will not fire anything after about 6 days of reception, although the construction quality seems to be good. I will admit I got it for the novelty, and on second thought did not seem like smart decision on my part. Did I really need it? No, I did not drop it to get a claim through. The menu system and buttons work fine, but it just does not put out any current. Tested it with VOM, so pulling the post will not work. Nor did I use a shorted device on it since I immediately tested the device (Kanger mini PT) on my Vamo.
Everything was reported, and now I am awaiting a RMA number. Their return center is in Miami.
Now we see how good a vendor is when the problems start. I have had issues with stuff in the past. It happens, and one cannot blame the retailer for defects. Myfreedomsmokes, freecigs, and VK have all provided outstanding support. Others, like Gotvapes, TotallyWicked, and Vaprlife with its joke of a Joker were worse than terrible.

They will make good on it but be prepared to jump through some hoops. They will make good on it however.
I've wondered about this as well and I 'think' it means that FastTech has gathered your items together, packaged them, printed out a shipping label, updated it as shipped, and NOW a truck is being filled with 100s of the same little packages. Once the truck is FULL, in about a week, more or less, then the package will be delivered by SAID TRUCK to a shipment facility. At that point, they will unload said truck and each package will be updated as being processed in said shipping facility =]
My packages tend to be loaded FIRST, so I have a long wait for the rest of yous guys =]
It means it is ready for loading on a plane. The way that they negotiate shipping it goes if there is room. Kind of like flying standby. Makes it a lot cheaper for shipping.

Mine shipped six weeks ago and am still waiting for a shipping update. But it's cheap right. I have never been stiffed by fasttech, seems to take a while though.
Got a update on the status of my orders. Both now say dispatched to overseas... is that good?? Lol

Most likely means that it has left China for USA. It will most likely not change until it gets logged in at LA or NY depending which port in ships to. I had a package take 14 days to get from LA to St. Louis MO so sometimes USPS can be just as slow as china mail services.
Any Flashlight guys that can point me to a good led replacement for my 3 cell Mag light? I don't know much about flashlights but would like to throw a brighter bulb in my Mag light. Going to place a FT order soon.
Yes,yes it is. Although, and I have to say I know it is because it is the holidays, I have one order that was shipped overseas on the 14th and reached LA on the 17th and I still do not have it.
I'm just happy to see some kind of movement. I haven't been sweating to too much but now the holiday season is passing I expect something to happen lol

In UK your screws are known as 'grub screws'. If they have a socket in the head for a hex wrench they are 'allen screws'
The kind of screws you find retaining tuning knobs, etc to the shaft on radios/ancient TV's, etc. Radio Shack etc might help.

Let's not go myopic. This isn't the only place for folks to discuss FT. The door crasher items were purchased. It would have been fun if "we" could have congratulated a fellow ECF member for the win, but individual expectations were way too high, like lottery odds.
Keep calm and have a vape.
I got one of the VTRs .... definitely more luck than judgement!

Then you got a $20 bargain, he'll mine was a bargain at $70
I am reaaaaally diggin' on the Sipik SK68, teeny little guy, can run on an AA or 14500 Li Ion, throws a bunch of light and you can focus the beam down to a tiny square or 100 yards out. It's bigger brother the Sipik SH98 run on a 18650. And let's not forget the Ultrafire 502B (you can find em cheaper on amazon)
What happened to your Mag light...bulb burn out? I have a solution for that too...found LED replacements for all my flange type flashlights...even my 18vdc handheld porter cable toolkit flashlight (you have to make sure you use the right voltage for the bulb) [the 1 watt bulbs are AWESOME for just utility work around the house or in the yard and the batteries will last freeking FOREVER because it doesn't eat batteries like incandescent bulbs, I have some 4C cell maglights I got for $10 threw some 1/2 watters...still haven't drained a set of batteries
B series | Specialty & Automotive | Universal LED Bulb Finder | Super Bright LEDs
Beleive it or not...FT has a BUNCH of really neat Cree style flashlights, drivers and even DIY drop-in module...however the best place to really find out about flashlights is head on over to the flashlight ultra-gurus at candlepowerforums these guys are the vaper fanatics of the flashlight world
