When listing shipping times, it would be helpful if posters specify *how* it was shipped (and if it included batteries and/or liquids).

I have 2 FT orders, one ordered Dec.5, the other ordered Dec.17. They both left the USPS sort facility in Los Angeles today.

I guess I need to make a new order so I still have something to track.

Oops, sorry about that. Both orders were sent SG Post. No liquid and only one 510-X battery.

im thinking of building a box mod using these parts:

internal removable or not 18650 battery not yet decided
charger : https://www.fasttech.com/product/1585501
vw output module : https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...ble-wattage-kick-module-for-mechanical-mod-pv
510 : https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003955/1473305-510-to-ego-adapters-for-e-cigarette-5-pack
resistance reader : https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006334/1503505-atomizer-resistance-tester-ohm-meter

it surely would be cheaper to buy a mvp, but building it yourself has that extra satisfaction.

and btw i did turn this:

Might want to take it to the MODDERS section...looks like the PCB should come apart on the plastic legs (the kick is based off of a Cree buck/boost circuit) and that is how they go together, then just connect the feet with jumper wire in case you have to shoe horn it in or something

Good luck..take pics! ;)

My order was placed on 12/23 and tracking status still shows:

2013-12-24 00:00, Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)

It went through SingPost. Any idea what this status means? I assume this is normal?

I know it will be quite a wait...but at least an update in the tracking every now and then would at least seem like progress, lol.

TYIA.

Check Quantium tracking:

Your Asian Logistics & Mailing Partner | Quantium Solutions

SGP tracking is flawed, at best.

Just got my FT order today and couple of the plastic E-cig holders where broken. I submitted a ticket for them but what do they usually do for this? Will I have to mail them back? Everything else was great though.

They'll probably give you the option to return them (you only have to send them to Florida, not China) or they'll offer you a small discount on a future order from what I've seen.

Anyone notice with each round of NEW Products it seems like prices are slowly and ever so slightly creeping up?

Prices are getting closer to the point where I'll be unwilling to put up with long ship times to save a few dollars.


I've been thinking about it, but being acrylic, I'm worried about breakage. Although I haven't shopped on Ebay for a long time, I've seen in mentioned in the FT forums that some of these acrylic stands are available there for the same (or lower) prices.

Ordered the itaste vv v3 7-in-1 kits (came with a bunch of iclear 16's

1 day after it shipped tracking on hong kong post said it was being returned to sender
FT support said "oh this happens dont worry"
I said bull crap it does. But waited
1 week 2 weeks... Support told me to wait
3 weeks they said wait more... I said yeah what ever give me my koney back... They refused
4 weeks... I got irrate and demanded my money back immediately. They said they cant because they didnt get the package back yet.
I thought.."ok you scammers i can play that game" and told them i was filing a claim with paypal.
2 days later i got my money back.

So
After over a month i never got it. But i did get my money back.

So why would a company keep using a shipping method where the items are continually being "returned to sender" and people dont get their stuff? I am not the only one there are tons of posts on their forums with people complaining about this same issue.

You can offer cheap pricing but if your shippers cant ship the stuff without losing it then your cheap prices mean nothing.

I will never order again from fasttech until they open a usa office and start shipping from inside the USA.

It should not take more than 2 weeks,,,3 weeks tops to get an item from china no matter what shipping method is used.
usps type shipments ship daily from china and arrive in the usa the next day or two.
customs only takes one or two additional days.... The rest is the slow USPS here in the usa

Per the rules in the classified stickies: clones are allowed counterfeits are not. I have seen a few clones listed and never have I seen one removed. THere is a nemesis clone listed right now as a matter of fact.
Yeah, that thread was closed by a mod. We , mostly, all know the rules, so I didn't get into the clone/counterfeit details. There was a LOT of interest in the guys thread as he had several clones/whatever u want to call them listed for sale. I kept looking for a post saying,"hey, you can't sell those here." However, everyone was just interested in buying them.

Still no Aqua at FT.....: (

Hadn't seen that yet. But, it brings to mind a question.

With all the displays for mods, drip-tips, etc., wouldn't it be better to have a display CASE so all that stuff doesn't get dusty?

I only keep out what I'm using (or likely to use very soon maybe). The rest I keep in plastic containers.

Now, a display case would be wonderful! I love to look at all my nice shiny stuff. Besides, it's nice to be able to look at what I might want to use next. Kind of like standing in front of the refrigerator deciding what to eat.

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.

Ticket answered, they will send me a steel base post, centre pin and screw to replace all the chromed brass bits in the 3.1 not just the broken bit.

New 3.1s are confirmed as ALL steel bits.

Good CS to correct the error. Well done FT.

They got spork! Maybe I can add a couple of these to my next order...

$3.25 Multi-function Stainless Steel Spork - a spoon and a fork in one at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I actually use something like this ( not spanner/bottle opener enabled, though) for picnics and outings, when I buy things to eat at the market, for example. Seriously useful little gadgets. Better than eating with your fingers or polluting the environment with disposable plastic...

My hubby and I were talking the other day about (seriously) replacing our forks and spoons with sporks! I was just thinking about getting a couple. But if you Google stainless steel sporks, they want a fortune for them in the US. But no, I am not replacing my silverware.

I wouldn't replace my silverware either! :) But when I'm traveling or wandering around on day trips, these are dead useful. You can be sure they're clean and you always know where they've been...My local camping gear store is asking 4 times the price, for a double-ended plastic one.
