The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

Kick clone- Well It works, time will tell if they last but for $8 is does fit in my mods and works as advertised.

Get some clear nail polish and conformal coat the kick...I had one that went kaput on me because of a bad solder blob and it shorted on the case...the original kick had a funky weird clear heatshrink on it.

I have 2x of em (another on the way), both pushing Genesis style rba's at 8 watts...they generate a very good vape...

I have made several orders from Fasttech over the last couple months, and I've learned to expect to wait for my order....

But here's a new dilemma....the package I'm waiting on at the moment has been sitting in LA for the last 6 days with no tracking updates.

Is that typical?

Waiting on my Tobeco Kayfun Lite to show up.

That's USPS...it's moving

I have 4 FT Kicks and 2 Sigelei-K
All work flawlessly

They seem to have cleared up the Solder Blob issue. All mine were well soldered and not near the edge at all.

I made a small order from them last night just out of curiousity. Ordered some stuff I don't really need with a gift card I got from a charity raffle. It's already marked as shipped already, don't know if that really means that much though.

Yeah...it was a QC fluke...mass produced...stuff happens...FT made it right no questions asked (even refunded the shipping to the return location in Miami...which got me 3/4 of the way to another kick order

Linky's please....we love looking at the URL's of stuff people order (heck 2/3 of my wishlist is because of that...and my wishlist is probably bigger than some 3rd worlds entire GDP right now )

Marked as shipped means it's off into the twilight zone. This is where the fun begins.....

A little guidance please. I placed an order with Fasttech for several items. 1 of the items (which is the first item on the list)was saying ships in 3 days, then went to 2 day then to 1 day then went back up to 4 days. Would it be better to remove that item from the order so the other items can ship as they don't seem to be on "back order", or will the shipping notice just go onto the next item on the list. I understand the whole being patient thing but if canceling the a 5- pack of coil heads will release the order I am willing to do it. Any advice will be appreciated.

I know it was already addressed, but the Ace hardware I visited did indeed have these screws available (in Phillips and flat head varieties no less), think I paid a buck and change for 8.

That's great for you, congratulations! I went to 2 different Ace Hardware stores in 2 different cities, no M2 screws of any size. Had I not made the trip for other reasons, I would be out far more gas money than simply ordering online. Not all Ace Hardware stores are the same. When venturing into the land of teeny tiny screws, RC hobby shops are a better bet and even those are hit and miss.

So, I ordered. Vamo v5 on Dec 16. On the 24th it shows having been "dispatched to transshipment hub".

My question is...what exactly does this mean and how long from this point does it generally take for the parcel to reach the US?

Once it heads to the shipment hub 5-7 days...once it says "local" then plug in shipping number at USPS tracking

Mine says lodged into local..... but it still shows Singapore even on USPS. For 2 days now. SO I suspect USPS is not updating as they should or it is still in Singapore waiting for a plane.

My last couple of orders were lodged in Singapore for six or seven days.

Thanks WarHawk. I assume it would be a bit. I just wanted to get a feel for others' experience!

Myrany,

How long did it take from transshipment hub to local for you? It showed it was sent to the boat on Dec 24 and given the horror stories, 7 days now and I am questioning things.

Thanks for posting your timeline. Is anyone able to provide more information? Based on myrany's timeline above, does the "lodged into transshipment hub local" mean its on its way overseas (I assume so)?

The biggest regret I have for ordering from FT is that I did it just before the holidays. It wasn't bad enough I got dinged for Christmas, now I have to get through New Years also.

Once everything goes through, I'm going to put together a definitive step by step description of the shipping steps (at least for Singapore post option) through Quantium. I haven't found one yet, try as I might.

I ordered on Dec. 16 and the package shows sent to Singapore on the 24th. Tomorrow will be 8 days with no movement
