Good news!

I ordered a bunch of stuff from FT on the 3rd, but it did not get shipped until the 11th. It is out for delivery today. It would have been out for delivery yesterday, but there was no mail delivery yesterday due to MLK day. This order was shipped from China directly (not Hong Kong) and not Singapore. Singapore adds 10 days to delivery, and they may not have bribed the right postal official in HK.

Less than 10 days is more than acceptable. Let's see how it arrives. So far, all of my other stuff from them has arrived in good shape.

I have returned 3 items: two Kraken clones and a TEC flashlight mod due to manufacturing defects, but those have been waiting forever for restocking. Let's hope they get out before the Chinese New Year.

It's useless .....ing about their delivery. It is what it is. If you want something right away, go elsewhere. With the avalanche of new products hitting the marketplace, it can get to be expensive for the tinkerers to buy new stuff to play with.

And tinker you must if you want to be a happy vaper! There is no such thing as the perfect universal vaporizer or battery mod which will meet everyone's needs and tastes.

Of course, there are clones. Some are garbage, others are things of beauty. I have a box full of expensive originals that are junk: Darwin, Buzz Pro, etc. So much for American quality, at least in this marketplace. It took Detroit some very painful lessons before it started producing products that actually worked, and had good performance and styling.

Wow, glad I didn't hesitate when they popped up. Phew.

Yeah I ordered 3 packs of wires back on the 9th and they are showing as out for delivery today so epacket wasn't too bad on that one and I should be set on wires for awhile. I was looking because I want to stock up the vapocaypse box now that I know these work for evod heads as well as my diver.

Bottles I am always looking at being into DIY. Don't really need them right now but that doesn't stop me from looking. :)

Not to panic!

Geek the moderator on the FT forum has just written that HE is putting 4/1/14 on the items right now, not because that's when they are going to ship, but because the shipping date is unknown for the moment.

Please read his post here: https://www.fasttech.com/forums/order-support/t/1152101/we-re-switching-into-cny-holiday-order-mode

he says:
You'll start to see post-CNY ETAs show on your shopping carts and newly placed orders. If you have already placed an order and your scheduled shipping date is well into the holiday (Jan 25 to Feb 4), you'll notice your scheduled shipping change to a post CNY date within the next two days.

Some products are currently showing a 4/1/2014 shipping date on product pages. This is because we still do not have the post holiday shipping ETA for them. Instead of having an overly vague or overly optimistic ETA, we have chose to set the ETA for the said products to 4/1/2014. We will most definitely ship these products prior to that date.

Hope this helps everyone to feel better.

Heck, I'm not panicking. Fulfilled all my orders earlier this month, Even stateside. If need be, I can go the next year or three just fine.:D
Needs and wants are two different animals. I'll just have to deal with them.:glare:

Meanwhile, what is Fasttechs thinking? Lower prices(Grrrrr after I purchase) but then bring in the same items even lower in price and crap quality?

Examples - Nemesis, Caravela & KayFuns

It is like they are begging people to stop trusting them.:facepalm:

Just received my order. It was placed on the 1st and arrived on the18th with a 5 day layover in Chicago for customs. It was shipped e-packet China post. It had some 1.8 ohm nr-r-nr wire and my new favorite the $12.93 Rocket Rebuildable Atomizer Kit (5mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping .I guess I got lucky in that it has no leaks and was clean and no or almost no machine oil. I washed it in very hot water and dawn, then ran it thriugh the ultrasonic for 30 minutes with hot water and a couple drops of soap. After the 2nd coil build it works great. The first build I tried to copy the original coil and didn't care for it. The secound I switched to cotton and really made a differance. Next time I will try the birds nest build, but if it works much better then I'll have to forego sleep to get more vape time. I usually order more wire with each order. I guess I have about 2000 in the stash now.

I just got the nemisis mixed model today and it is perfect. Came in black box and the threads are as nice as my provari. I am impressed and now I want something else in brass.. The keyboard and mouse I bought are a POS--- Live and learn, this is really the first product from them that is a waste of money.

I got mine Friday. Can the brass center ring be removed? I can't get the two stainless section to screw together. Mine was black box too. I had a hard time getting it to work in 18650 mode.

I took a small screwdriver to the top post to lower it a bit and extended the base just a tad. I had to take the top piece off+ beauty ring/brass one for 18650. My kick will be in my next order whenever it shows up and hope it will work okay. I had it working in 10 min and I was amazed. I am not a big mech person but am learning.
