Very cute. Added to my Wishlist. Thanks for the link.


I have 2 orders on the way from FT.

The first one (ordered Dec. 5) has assorted adapters, beauty rings, drip-tips, and a few things I want to sample before I decide to order more. It's already 'Processed through Sort Facility' in Los Angeles!

The second one (ordered Dec. 17) is still at 'Origin Post is Preparing Shipment' in SG. But, it was actually picked up from FT just a day or two after the first one. So, who knows? It contains only one thing, a pretty blue Pipe Mech Mod.

I can hardly wait! All is right with the world!

That pipe mod is very high on my wishlist too! I've been drooling over it since it came out.
Once I already have a collection of batteries, I'll probably pull the trigger on mods much faster.

can anyone please confirm who have received their kayfun 3.1 clone with metal tank and drip tip adapter as free replacements.
is the metal tank & adapter of same finish as the atomizer?
want to get 3.1 with metal tank is the metal tank same finish as the 3.1 stainless?
from pics it looks different finish to the 3.1 but free replacements looks the same!

You made me go and open the little bags and check... I have the free replacements because of the stocking cuffuffle.

Yes, to me they are the same finish - perfect matches for the Kayfun 3.1. I haven't tried the ring yet, but just put the driptip adapter on and it's fine.

I'm used to slow shipping, and for me, it's a good thing. I'm not putting my next order in until my last one arrived, which gives me plenty of time to research the heck out of things and change my mind ten times.
I think I've finally settled on the novice
VV passthrough
4 port usb wall adapter
battery charger
drip tip

Right now, I'm pretty much in love with my super shorty carto. Three weeks of using it exclusively, and it shows no sign of slowing down. That means for tanks (ibtanked looks good) and extra cartos, I'll be looking outside of FT. Also batteries. And a cone for my ego. Actually, there's a bunch of stuff I need to get elsewhere for higher than FT prices... unfortunately.

LOL Great minds! I have the Novice coming in as well! ChunkMeister, one of the hosts on Nova has the brass version and he was ranting about it, so I got the silver one =] This is one item that I am eager to get in because I am hoping it will be the PERFECT stealth mod to take on walks with me =]

In other news, I bought these on 09/23/2013 and wanted to use them on my eGos for work. The atomizer can be replaced, as with the Protanks, and I can recoil them. I thought they would be a MAGNIFICENT purchase that would last a long time as long as I kept them clean and didn't use a harsh juice on them. Well, the tips are trash :/ The tips are lightweight, so essentially some form of metal coated plastic. The silver coating has cracked, peeled, and I've tossed them. I just found this one in the bottom of a pile LOL I'm sorry that I failed to get a picture of the one that disintegrated before I tossed it.


FastTech T4 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (6-Pack - 2.4mL) - TIP DISINTEGRATES https://www.fasttech.com/p/1395100

Now as far as the rest of the clearo, it's attractive on my eGos, works very well, but I consider the price a bit steep when the tip is worthless and needs to be replaced.

I think it's the svoe mesto(sp.) one here that came with the parts https://www.fasttech.com/p/1494700 which I cancelled after 3weeks of waiting and screwing around. I then ordered the rocket, which was in stock.
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1481600
And 2 weeks after that I ordered the lite
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1552300
The lite is a very well machined and put together unit, has remove able drip tip,and comes with the stainless tank,o-rings, 3 or 4 wick and wire setups and a little screw driver, I don't think I have it setup quite right yet but it really chucks vapour...I am still waiting for my rocket to arrive after 7 weeks

There certainly are shipping issues with FT ....... however, our very own USPS stinks sometimes too. Package has shown as "Depart USPS Sort Facility in Las Vegas since 12-24 ......... no updates since and it was due to be delivered by 12-27. Fortunately the vendor is very concerned as well and has already compensated me ($5.00 Coupon) for the wait. I have a feeling this one is lost or was stolen by a USPS employee since it had a descriptive company name on the label. Anyone knowing the product line could use it - sell it or gift it away. No proof - just my gut grumbling. Time will tell I suppose. I could DRIVE from Vegas to New Mexico in less time! Even though Ho-Ho Day was a day "off" for these guys IF it went by TRUCK perhaps the driver stopped at home to see the kiddies? Just my luck!:blink:

I am just amazed they offer free shipping anywhere!! I did pay 2$ for E-packet. I don't know how much of a difference that makes, but the money I saved on product and shipping is well worth the wait! My notification for shipping came Boxing Day, 11 hours after I ordered it. Pretty impressive and when I looked it up on website, saw a picture of my parcel. Canada Post already has the number in their system on 28th. I'm sure it will be a while before it hits the border, but FT did their part quite quickly! Will order again

I'm sticking with hkpost 2 / 3 shipments took 7 days after acceptance. 9 days from shipped status to delivery. Epacket sounds like a great alternative does the package ships from hongkong to China or from china to hongkong or china straight to usa customs?

Sgpost sux though. Ft is sending me a replacement part and automatically used sgpost. Great won't see that for 3 weeks. I guess they like using it because it must save them $$

Thx gingersnaps, NickAddict, Myrany!!!



Maggiemw, chill, all I did was ask a question. I thought that was what this forum was all about. People helping people.

Yep, that is exactly what the forum is about. It does take a while sometimes to get your stuff. There a regulars on here that do get a little tired of seeing the complaints about shipping over and over, it isn't a secret that it does take a while but in reality if you don't frequent this thread you wouldn't know that now would you? Hope you get your stuff soon and enjoy it. Just for reference, I placed 4 orders over the last month. the first two were placed end of Nov and recieved about 19 days later. 3rd order was placed on Dec 2nd and arrived in LA on the
18th of December and I thought I would have it by now. Yesterday it finally showed up as arrived at post office(my local office) so should get it tomorrow. 4th order was placed on December 17th, note the day before previous order reached the US, and I got it Thursday, 2 days ago. So it really is inconsistent on how long it will take. Hope that helps in some way.

Don't feel bad Don, I have one that reached the US on the 18th and I still don't have it. Should be here tomorrow anyway.

Yep, a company like FT is dealing with huge volume and making very little on each order but with the volume they do it adds up to huge money but on an individual basis they have to worry about every penny. So I guarantee that the method they choose to ship when you cannot control that is the cheapest available.


On another note I received my Chi You That I ordered https://www.fasttech.com/p/1451812 download.jpg It is built well except for a couple of things. Airholes for the battery venting are a little small IMO. Plus the ones on the top are on the TOP aimed at your face if you have a small atty on there. Also the button sticks and is hard to press most of the time on this. Of course in researching a little more on this model I found a youtube video outlining all the things wrong with it. I am going to return it because of the sticking button. I have a different one being sent from a very generous forum member anyway. If I reorder another it will be a different model. I do like how it hits though. This thing rocks out the vapor when it is set up right. I am still playing with it. I built a dual nano dragon coil on it and it came in around .4 ohm I didn't like it at all. Flavor was ok but vape was really hot. Not a surprise as that would crank out about 44 watts and over 10 amps using a freshly charged battery. My favorite build so far is a single coil 1.5 ohm usisng 4 strands of 32gauge twisted.

I must say after almost 1800.00 of purchases at FT I am about to start looking elsewhere. The shipping problems and length of time to wait are just getting old. I have had very good service up until the last 2 months so I have just about everthing I need for the next several years. My last order was refunded after 1 month as it was returned to ft by HK post. As far as cust svc goes with the language barrier they are really very good. I have 3 orders in the wind and will see what happens next.

THANKS "omyeyes"! Sadly it left the SORT FACILITY and appears to be in limbo. If not updated OR delivered by january 3, 2014 the seller will replace the package. I have no idea where it is ..... MAYBE after "Departed Sort Facility" it went on a truck or plane, I don't know --- it's hard to tell.

Thanks for the offer ........ I wish you could go pick it up! Now THAT'S friendship on ECF Deluxe! But wait! Ya would pick it up and keep it I bet! Ha-Ha .... kidding of course! Bad humor abounds when old Man Don tries and make a funny! Tell ya what . IF I get two packages ..... I send ya a few chewed up clearos and some old worn out coils, OK? (GROSS INDEED!):blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush::blush:

Bye bye ,,,,,,,,,, from Demented Senile Old Man Don:blink::blink:

For $0.69 difference local buy is better than waiting for China to ship IMHO. Sometimes it's worth a few pennies to receive it quickly.

Authentic Protank-II Clearomizer w/ Pyrex Glass Tank (2.5mL) translucent / 2.5Ω .................$15.98
Authentic Mini Protank-II BCC Clearomizer (1.0-1.5mL) translucent / 2.5ohm / extra coil head $11.95 ..........$27.93 BOTH - DELIVERED FAST TECH

Genuine Colored Kangertech Mini ProTank II v2 Steel Drip ..... $13.69
GENUINE Kanger Protank 2 Clearomizer KangerTech ........... $14.93 ........................................................$28.62 BOTH MAYBE SOMEDAY DELIVERED USA

OH .......... did I forget to beat the dead horse noted above?? :blush::blush:Failed to mention the USPS has stuck the USA purchase in LIMBO? Due the 27 ...... tracking info not updated since 12-14 at 11:59 pm ............ CHINA could still win out! Dead Horse now turning stiff!:):) I promise I won't mention it again!

Decisions - Decisions - Decisions ............ Tough for Senile Old Man Don!

It's not just FT. I Ordered from a UK supplier (non-vape) on 12/3, still no joy and no tracking, just a "it has shipped email". Ordered from FT on 12/4, delivered 12/26, just over 3 weeks, and tracked it all the way. I have ordered from the UK supplier twice in the past and it was about 2 weeks to my door, am I worried, not in the least. Would I use them again, sure I would. Ordering from across the pond takes time, either accept that fact, or order from local venders. If an order takes over 40 days then I will file a Paypal dispute, and I have only done that once, and got the order before the wait period with PP. Griping because it is taking so long is just, never mind.

On another note, still waiting on my EGO batteries I ordered to show up as shipped, not sure if they will make it through, and my other order ePacket is still not showing up, just says "Not Found", am I worried, Not In The Least, it will get here sometime.
