i may be wrong but you are buying the wrong version(matt) of metal tank for kayfun 3.1(polished) it wont match the version you are buying.

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

Try the USPS tracking https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action Quantium only works until it leaves the country. 8 days it may very well be in the country now.

That Kayfun has a satin brushed finish, so I have the option of getting a mirror polished tank (which won't match) or a matte tank (which also won't match). I haven't decided to pull the trigger on that yet. I might end up getting the matte (sandblasted) kayfun 3.1 and matte tank just to have a matching set.

Edit: Still waiting for the Kayfun lite I ordered. We'll see how I like that one first before I go ordering more Kayfuns.

even i had the same doubt that it wont match and i have even asked regarding this @ FT forums but got the answer from this thread

Kayfun 3.1 looks like satin brushed finish in the pics but its polished finish in reality polished metal will match it.

Awesome! ECF saves the day (again)!
Thank you, you just made it worth the amount of time I spent posting those links.

Things might be moving faster.

Ordered some small things (no liquids, no batteries of any kind) on Dec. 24th (Christmas Eve) via ePacket to the US.

Wow! Accepted in China on the 27th, processed on the 28th, in NY on the 31st. Can't complain about that!

Edited to add:

Another ePacket package, also ordered Dec. 24th, accepted in China on the 28th, processed through the sort facility on the 29th.

And a third ePacket package, ordered Dec. 25th, accepted in China on the 30th, processed through the sort facility on the 30th.

That's three ePacket shipments that processed through the Chinese sort facility in one day.

Great list!

I have the things above and with the exception of https://www.fasttech.com/products/1439803, which was a leaky, gurgly, awful mess, they are all really nice, great even.

The Kayfuns are awesome.

Of the drip tips, the one I like best is the diagonally-cut one. At first I thought it was going to be sharp and uncomfortable, but used at the right angle on my eternity clone, it is smooth and impressive. The Chi You tip is less comfortable to use, but that's very individual. It's beautifully made, though.

Enjoy!

I've read that using a protank head fixes the leaky, gurgly mess issue with the K2 (Fluid Flask look-alike). I'm willing to give it a go.

Going by the pics on the Chaos tip, I figured I'd be doing a bit of file work to round off the edges. Good to know that won't be an issue.

I tried the protank head on the K2...and didn't find it too effective. You may have more success with it than I did. Now, between the Kayfuns and the Eternity clones I have, I don't even feel like using my other stuff...I'm getting old, spoiled and lazy, I guess!

At first I fhought the Chaos tip would need filing, too, but in fact it's a question of finding the right way to use it. Now I really like it as is and wouldn't think of filing it - horrors! I find I can actually drip through it into the Eternity clone - the bore is large enough to use it as a true dripping tip, which is somewhat rare.

 

[Sucker_dad]

I love the chaos tip. I wish I had ordered 5 of them. They are wonderful. I also like the long straight tip as it cools the vape on some of the harsher mixes I have.

I just broke the centre pin on my Kayfun 3.1 clone :-(

I have put in a ticket as they are doing steel replacements for it.

 

[Jerms]

Received two rebuildable drippers and some drip tips a couple days ago. The two ceramic and one glass dt are great. They are fragile of course because of the material, I've dropped my mod a couple times with a ceramic dt and they break off easily, but make up for that by offering cleaner flavor than metal or plastic tips. At FT prices, no big deal to break them either.

For dripperts, the first is the Grand Vapor Trident clone http://www.fasttech.com/product/1436802

It's a great dripper and the clone is done very well. You can use either one airhole or two opposing airholes for dual coils. For both, the airflow is fully adjustable from extremely airy to tight. The dt hole is small, so it doesn't work with all drip tips, but does come with a nice one. The 510 connection also won't fit on all mods, but work with most of mine. The center pin is copper and adjustable which is really nice. The 1 positive and 2 negative posts are done very well and can be tightened with fingers or a flat head screw driver. It's also easy to set up with flat wire, which I don't use.

It can be a big leaker, even out of the hole that's covered for single hole use, but I'm sure using more wicking will help. The vapor potential is HUGE with the option of an airy draw and dual or quad coils. The flavor is good, but not as good as smaller drippers.

The other I received is the mini-RDA.. http://www.fasttech.com/product/1406704

It's a small dripper with airflow control. There's three small airholes lined up, and 1, 2, or 3 can be used. Even using all three it's a fairly tight draw, but for me I prefer that and have been using 2 holes. The posts are typical, with the crappy hex screws that I usually switch out with philips screws. The airholes are higher than other small drippers of this side, allowing the coil to sit higher off the deck which is nice. The flavor is fantastic being a small dripper. It's a nice, functional dripper for those that like smaller ones, with a working airflow control as long as you prefer a tighter range.

Both drippers have tight orings and stay together well. Almost too tight, but some vg on them to lube it up helps until they break in.
