Do you have Prioritiy Service Status at FT? I have it a while now (as I buy... too much) and most of my tickets get responded within 3 hours in business time. That is really useful. When you open a ticket there should be a blue badge saying "priority service".

Focal and 3F is good yes. Focal shop sucks a bit, 3F has very fast shipping for me but it a tad more expensive most of the times.

Ordered quite a lot on GB but it is horrible. No communication, straight out lying in tickets, super slow shipping most of the time. But everything arrived so far, so it is no scam.. And I got my IPV3Li for $45 in a flash sale so I should be more grateful I guess
Angelcigs has shipping costs, that makes it a no go for me.. but I ordered 1 article recently, lets see how they do.

No I don't! Damn, now I feel cheated!

I've placed 11 orders in total. That feels like a lot to me! Maybe it has a $ and/or time and/or order number threshold.

Christ I just totalled them up. Just over $1000. Where is my blue badge!?!

To be fair I have three orders not yet shipped, and 6 of those 11 orders were in the last two weeks or so, and it might take a little while for it to update, and not do so until all orders are completed.

Or worse, it might be based on rebate points, which only activate 60 days after the order completes. If that's the case I could be waiting a couple more months.

As I said I very rarely need to open tickets. But now I feel I'm missing out on something

Oh well, nothing I can do.

 

[Daisychainvaper]

Not sure, they don't disclose that. Someone said that beeing active in the FT forum counts too. I guess you'll get it when it shipped. I should be safe for a longer time with my 160 orders...

btw: last day to use RMBBUST for 5% off, so if you still have something on the list.. order today

 

[TheBloke]

160 separate order numbers, or 160 products amongst fewer numbers of orders?

 

[Daisychainvaper]

160 separate orders (since Nov. 2013). They rarely exceed $30, my last info is that I spent $4400 there in that time (but sold a lot, so sounds worse than it is )

No order was lost, 2 RMA in total (fully refund). Good stats I guess for them

btw: sorry for derailing this topic, we are still in the vapecige thread

 

[TheBloke]

Wow OK OK I won't expect my blue badge any time soon

Received my tracking number from vapingmall.com for my VM DNA200 to ease the suffering of the VTbox200 delay.

EDIT: Since this will be my first DNA200 device do I absolutely need to hook it up to escribe or will it vape out of the box? I ask cause me no have a pc yet, waiting to get one, a used one with Windows XP. Also I was skimming through planet of the vapes forum and so far 10 of the 20 group buy VTbox200's failed in one way or another. 50% failure rate, YIKES! BTW, it was the red one, popped 510's, batteries not charging, blown fuses.

 

[Adekastos]

Wow 50% failure rate, this sucks. Do you, know if they were from the first batch?

Yikes indeed, even more glad I cancelled now!

As far as im aware when your dna 200 arrives you should just be able to use it out of the box exactly like any vw device you already own you just dont be able to configure stuff or perform updates without it

It will vape straight out of the box, but you'll obviously be using an older version of the firmware.

Don't believe there were any major bugs in the earlier firmware versions, but the newer firmwares have cleaned up a few issues and added the 2s battery support, so probably a good idea to update once you get a chance.

That reminds me, been a bit since i've hooked up to escribe, probably a version or two behind on firmware myself.

Seriously? There is a 50% chance this thing will work for $114?, hellz yeah.

I think between 0001 and 0050 round about. So the first batch. If you read all 37 pages of the forum you'll get an idea of what these poor people in the UK had to deal with. I can only imagine what the guy who set up the group buy feels like. Super YIKES! I think when we get ours they'll be sorted, friggin better be son!!

That's a horrible fail rate. Feel for the fellow that put that together and hope they all get good functional devices. My thought is if and when Gearbest is able to get the parts to my door, if I have problems I'll just fix them myself and if the boards bad I'll work with Evolv directly to get it replaced hopefully. The communication is just terribly difficult with Gearbest to even consider working with them in the future IMO.

I did finally receive a response from them to my ticket, I had made two requests but from their response I'm not clear on exactly what they changed or if they changed both. They also are suggesting a 3-5 day shipping now instead of the one week or two week they had previously stated.

My request was
1. Change my shipping to Expedited
2. Change from White/Black to Red/Black

The reply I received was.
We understand your worries. Very glad to inform you that we have changed the item for you. Please wait 3-5 business days and we will ship your order out.
This ticket would be closed first. If you have any further question, please feel free to contact with us and submit a new ticket.
Thank you for your kind understanding. Hope you can receive your order soonly.

Not finished watching that vid yet, but you can see they have made a lot more room for the battery, by hollowing out the bottom. Should make it a bit lighter too.

Edit: Seems I was wrong about that. He just has a lot less trouble getting it in and out. Looked like he had more space.

Fun times just after 24mins 45sec

Not tried that juice, but it sounds good.

Are you asking if the VTbox200 is a squonk box? Kinda obvious that it isn't, but it wouldn't take much to make one from it.

Yea I know it ain't. Wondering if a smaller Lipo pack or the dual 18650 configuration would provide enough room for some sort of sqounk bottle etc.

With this $12.12 Fountain V2 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (V2, 22mm, SS + Glass + Plastic, Silver) at m.FastTech.com - FastTech Mobile anything becomes a squonker

Well I received tracking information this morning but yet again I'm so confused. When I look up the tracking number it shows a label was created on 1/9/2015 so I'm hopeful once the package is in transporters hands I'll know better on when to expect a delivery. Fingers crossed that they changed the color and it's a functional board and all the manufacturer problems have been resolved.
