Happy day! After 15 days in the mail (Singapore Post) my baby finally fell into my little raccoon paws! Yippee! Along with some wire, extra IClear 30s heads, cartomizers (for vapocalypse) and extra IClear 30s in blue (purple)

Well, FT has duped me (us) again. LOL
Ordered the $20 origin, which was "in stock" about 3 hours after it listed. Scheduled ship date was yesterday, and now it is restocking. After what happened with my Ithaka and 3.1 KF, I don't know why this keeps surprising me. Oh well, the longer it takes to get to me the longer I might wait before I spend more money. :p

Same thing just happened with my Aqua. I ordered it on Monday, the day it was released. It still says IN STOCK if you go to buy it. It said "scheduled ship date 1/8/2014", until this morning. RE-FING-STOCKING. Why do they lie? Liars.

ugh... how long does it take SP to update their info. FT sent my order out on 12-28 and SP still says Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)
what gives 12 days and they still don't have it:evil:


Try this site. It should give more up to date information for you: Track Shipment(s)


Once it hits the US, this site gives more details than USPS also: PackageMapping.com: Package Tracking UPS USPS FedEx DHL w/ Google Maps.

Restocking means the replacement inventory has arrived - They cannot control Delivery delays, therefor not a LIE. Likely the item will be picked and packaged by tomorrow. Shhh, they are asleep right now.:)

ETA: $26 aqua - Ships in 3 business days ETA: 1/11/2014 (2 days)
$20 Aqua - In Stock - Listed New 1-6-14
Many new Items are 3-10 days out and listed as such.
Which did you order?

I just got the email that my fasttech order has shipped!

Brass nemesis clone
2 nemesis switch magnets
kayfun light clone
rocket RBA
Trident Clone
Helio Clone

shipped USPS Express ePacket via China Post

Any one want to maybe take a crack at when it will arrive on the eastern coast of the US???

East Coast - No way. Not with USPS tracking being so flaky lately. I'd guestamite 8-10 Days after actual pick up to LA customs though.

Not quiet. Are you aware that t was listed as in stock the moment it was listed as a new item? FT states that "in stock" items will ship in no more than 2 days. Well the "in stock" Aqua was listed on the 6th. As of this morning, the 9th, none had shipped. To me, liar is not so inaccurate.

However, some have claimed that theirs was reported as shipped in the last hour so maybe it won't be a repeat of the 3.1'fiasco. Yeah, we've had snow days with no school (teacher) so I have time to keep up with it (stir crazy). LOL

I just received my order via Epacket today :rickroll: I ordered on the 25th (December) shipped on 26th, in acceptance on the 28th, processed through sort facility Shenzhen EMS on the 29th, arrived in New York Jan 7th, and received today the 9th. I believe I have seen some who ordered around the same time, and received their packages last week ... I believe. Anyway I think it was still a decent transit, and .... I've got vape mailllllll :laugh:

I am over the moon happy with my JM22 Mod set, the quality is excellent, and my firing button is PERFECT ... Now, one of the two battery cases I ordered is broken, and the 2 510 to Ego adapters are useless, bad threading, poor sizing .. gotta open a ticket, but I am overall happy with my order, and the two drip tips are mint ... take a look at my JM in shorty mode w/Fogger V2.5 (not from FT) and new drip tip :2cool:

Forget everything I just wrote about my beloved new Mod ... * note to self * you must insert a battery into your mod tube to make sure it even fires before writing a glowing review*

So it turns out that my perfect firing button is not perfect at all ... Just as I was putting away my Mod I remembered that I did not try to fire it on anything. I just screwed on the top and bottom caps to the 350 and 650 tubes, and made sure my Fogger fit (my sole reason for buying it) ... I never put a battery in the tube, until I did that is, and found that not a single battery will fire in any of the tubes, not to mention the 18500 tube is too short period :laugh: The bottom contact does not clear the delrin insulator when you push the fire button :blink:

I am not mad, I am sure I can modify the firing button to get it to work, but the too short 18500 tube (by approx 3-4mm) is a horse of a different color. Ahh Fasttech :p What is still good about this mod is that the threads are smooth, the tubes are thick and well made, and I still love the looks of it. But I clearly have some work to do in order to fire the darn thing... and Fasttech needs to send me a new 18500 tube, a Caravela tube will be a fine replacement. ;-) Ugh ....

Wow, that's a beautiful Pv... Hope it all comes together! Is there maybe a fuse ring attached to the 650 tube that would get the shortie working? Maybe an adjustment somewhere in there that just isn't in position? Not to imply you haven't checked, just kinda wishful thinking for such a nice looking setup to vape right out of the box.

Top and Bottom pins are Both adjustable. You have to set everything up.:laugh: Batteries come in different lengths, button top, 1600vs 3200mah, etc.
Same with most high end mods.

Thanks!! Now if only I can get it to fire :laugh: ... I am sure I will, thank goodness I also ordered some spare springs from FT too. But I have to take it apart to see exactly what kind of modding it needs. I still love it though. Hope your order goes well too. :)

Yeah I already adjusted to the top pin, but no worky ... but I didn't try to adjust the bottom contact, let me go try. ;-) But I have also heard from other buyers that their 18500 tube was off as well, so its not just mine, although I had hoped that I would be lucky. I was just so excited when I opened the box that I immediately ran for the Fogger and grabbed my camera :p ... I also received two other shipments today so MY MIND was not quite right at the time. :laugh:

Check the resistance of the coils too...before you do hit the fire button!

I forgot about even trying to adjust the bottom contact, usually I only need to adjust the firing pin if anything on my other mech. So I just slightly unscrewed the bottom contact, and the button fell apart:laugh: So put it back together and then unscrewed it by 3/4 of a turn and it is firing on the 18650 however, one more 1/4 of a turn and the button will come undone. So its good for now, but it still needs a more permanent fix ... no worries, such is the life of team cheap mod :laugh:
