Don't ever order from "Fast"-Tech.

Only today i became the proud owner of a kayfun 3.1 clone i ordered that ordered it 14th feb but didnt come into stock for a while it left china on 28th feb and i got it today so i think thats more than acceptable.

i had other orders placed since 31 jan which also came today so that WAS a long wait but it was chinese new year so annoying but understandable.

two main problems are stock often seems to not come in when they think it will and when it does a lot of people are in a que

second problem is sometimes an item is shipped but for some reason doesnt leave china for 10 days then on the other hand like with kayfun it ships and leaves for overseas almost immediatly.

i have 11 orders so far with them and 8 left china soon after being shipped

everything so far has been as advertised. super cheap. well packaged , will i use them again definitely , will i complain about the wait, PROBABLY

Fasttech is fine. Just be prepared to wait and wait and wait some more. Also if the item in not in stock you can add some more time onto the waiting.

This. If you want speedy service, it's not for you. I've waited six weeks and longer for an order. On the plus side, you've usually forgotten you ordered it when it arrives so it's kinda like getting a present in the post.

yesterday i got my first order of juice from fasttech it took 27 days (ordered 13/2/14 arrived :12/03/14)
its way cheaper than local shops so i will continue to buy from them
5 dekang 10ml + a liqua 30ml for 10.80€
in ireland i pay 10~11€ for the liqua alone

I always assumed it was an ironic name, right?

While it can be frustrating waiting for an order everything I've received has been as advertised and great quality for the price. I see they now have a slightly quicker shipping option which costs around .70c, I ordered another trident the other day so will be interesting to see how long it takes.

I ordered a kayfun lite and a Taifun GT on the 11th February, still haven't received the kayfun and the Taifun looks to be still in China! For less than 30 quid for both I don't mind the wait though.

I know this is is completely off-topic (I'm waiting on a genuine Evod kit from FT, ordered on 2 Mar, dispatched on 6th. Tracking has 'Dispatched to Overseas' since about the 9th. I have guilt about this, Irish vendors have been EXCELLENT for me, but at that price (€25) for a spare, I caved.), but do you think China has this ability?

I sometimes find this belief a little too neat. What happened in Japan (or even Taiwan/Korea) will happen in China because history repeats itself kind of thing. Maybe. But I remember reading about Japanese innovation around motorbikes (specifically Mr. Honda) and it was linked to Japanese culture and specific characteristics etc. Are they there in China?

Like maybe there's a reason China has taken this long to get outside itself. Maybe their is a culturalism prevalent that is specifically suited to copying/reverse engineering and that they will never lead or innovate. Italians still make the best shoes, you know, despite the passing of time/changes in world affairs?

Anyway, vaping is changing this for me bizarrely, they're leading that (or started it anyway) aren't they? It's an impressive breakthrough. Also, their cellphones are apparently very good as well.

Anyway, way off topic but if you have links etc. please post. Thx.

I had reason in another lifetime (read a long time ago) to study Chinese history and culture, quite an extraordinary race of people, they were doing things thousands of years before the west was. Japan basically raided and stole most of their culture from China, the one thing that has held China back is communism. This is changing slowly and I think this change will speed up.

There used to be a saying, The English/Scottish invent, the Germans perfect and the Japanese mass produce......

The ability of an entire race to change from Confucianism to Communism is quite something, they can and will if they choose too, convert to Capitalism and Democracy as swiftly. Underestimate the Chinese at your peril....!

So far I have bought two Chinese designed mods, a Youdee and a Smok Magneto and both are flawless. Neither are clones....

I can put up links for you but am wondering if this is the forum to do so on, the mods here do allow us to go on tangents without reprimand....it's the nicotine ya see......:D

Ok just one link

Thanks, will look now.

I remember in Leaving Cert history some quote about "Shouts of 'Made in Germany' came up from the gallery" during the Playboy of the Western World premiere. Couldn't for the life of me relate to German goods indicating poor quality, but at that time...

END OF TANGENT:)

Nemesis mod from Fasttech ordered 08/03/14, just received shipping notice today

Nice one , i have a sneeky feeling their shipments actually leave once a weekish and near end of week, reckon if you get a shipment notice thur/fri seems to knock a week of waiting time compared to monday shipment notice of course this could be all tin hat stuff lol

Singapore post is a joke lately. Swiss post is far faster and im waiting on some china post but people from the uk have been saying its quite good. Its been roughly 2 weeks for swiss and its arrived in dublin yesterday and I dont even want to check how long for singapore but latest would have been first week in march dispatched from china. You get what you pay for with fasttech the brass astro fiasco being the latest eye opener unfortunately I bought one the second it went up for sale and yet I check the new arrivals every morning and am disappointed when theres nothing shiny and new to buy.

I received my order from Fast Tech on the 10/04/14. ordered on 26/02/14.about six weeks wait.Not fast but worth waiting for when you see how much you save.

Has anyone seen this update on their tracking info (singapore post):

21-03-2014 10-04-2014 Attempted Delivery (Country code: IE)
Sounds like they tried to deliver it but couldn't It's only a replacement glass tank for the fogger so it should have fit in the letterbox. Not sure what to do now.

Soon as it lands, it gets a registered sticker thrown on.

If you didn't get an attempted the delivery notice from the postman for whatever reason, throw in your tracking code on the an post website and it'll give you the relevant an post tracking number. Head down to your local parcel delivery office with that and some ID, should see you right.

I got my nemisis from FT after 3 weeks waiting. It was worth the wait as it's a great mod for €20 delivered.

My 3d was despatched a week ago. Have you tried it yet?

I built it for the first time last night, it's not bad but it didn't blow me away to be honest. There are some pretty big cons:

- No 510 connector so you can't check the resistance of your coils without a multimeter
- The airholes are drilled wrong on the top cap so you only have tiny (and I mean tiny, about 0.5mm) holes for dual coil mode
- I really don't understand how you're meant to re-fill the reservoir at the bottom, there's a valve screw that has a tiny opening but no juice will make it down there without removing it. If you remove it the juice instantly empties again when you pump it so you have to do it every time you vape.
- You can't empty or clean the reservoir without removing your coil so you can't change really change juices as the reservoir will always have a bit left. Which kind of defeats the point of a dripper for me.
- It gets very hot and makes the mod hot as it's screwed directly into it.

Maybe I just need to get used to it. For 15 dollars it looks great with the nemesis, I'm definitely gona drill out the airholes to 2mm, hopefully that will improve things. I'd also consider blocking up the reservoir inlet and just using it as a standard dripper, that way you could change juices.

You'll need to give it a good clean when you get it, mine had a fair amount of machine oil.

If you took the spring out the deck would stay down and you'd be left with a deep reservoir so it would be like a normal dripper, hmmm...

I haven't gotten around to building or drilling out the air holes on the 3d yet but I believe people are using a syringe or needle top bottle to fill it.
Another method which sounds easier is to push down the top, drip into the drip tip hole (about 40 drops) then release the top and the juice gets sucked into the juice chamber.

Yeah I tried that way last night with mixed results, as the valve screw is quite raised you're still left with a flooded chamber for awhile. The tiny airholes get blocked with juice very easily but I guess drilling them out would solve that problem.

I also figured out that you can use it without the airflow control ring and sellotape up the 2 smaller holes, same thing as drilling them out. Looks **** though! :pac:

I'll drill them properly tonight and try dual coils with some 26 AWG wire. It could be a good dripper with juice hungry coils, saves you having to drip every 3 or 4 draws.
