I'm afraid to freakin' ask about the latest delivery-times for FT, now.. Been over a year since I bothered, but the local joints refuse to goddamned carry replacement glass for the Kylin mini v2.
I've used FT recently for 2 orders and both came within 3-4 weeks. One was a preorder that shipped when they said it would.I'm afraid to freakin' ask about the latest delivery-times for FT, now..

Fair is fair. I have to say that USPS has been noticeably improved in the Detroit area the last couple months. That's a very low bar to clear, but it is actually quite a bit better.
I've never ordered from China. Quick question: can I assume no adult signature required?
I have been ordering the last few months from 3F in China and no adult signature required.I've never ordered from China. Quick question: can I assume no adult signature required?

I have been lucky with all 3 of my orders from 3F too- all with tracking and all delivered to my house in under 2weeks.Be delivered tomorrow, this is from 3fvape using 4px, sure not going to complain about this one
Me:
Regarding order ... ... ...: The email sent on 4 January confirming shipment of my order did not include a tracking number. It's been a month and I haven't received the parcel. Could you inform me of the tracking information, please? Thank you.
Reply:
Thanks for your message and sorry you haven't received your order yet. It was sent tracked but we forgot to add the tracking information to your email.
However, frustratingly, your order was returned to us yesterday as US customs deemed the items not suitable for USA. We have been having lots of problems with US customs and vape items, it's very annoying.
There is no other way for us to get the items to you so we will refund your order in full.
Please accept our apologies for the situation.
Green Head & Vape Shop. They're in England. Never ordered from them before and don't know how they declare for Customs. The order was for clearomizers. *sigh*Who was the Vendor?

Thanks!Jac Vapour is a UK Vendor I order from for years and never a problem.
That sucks. Have you tried wire optim? They sell clapton spools in all different types/gauges.Well, I'm probably about to have my first FT order seized by Customs.
I ordered three spools of pre-wrapped Clapton wire, and they specified the order contents on the package as "Atomizer." FFS.
I was going to place another order this morning, but now I don't think I will. So f'n stupid. I didn't request nondescript shipping because I figured just "Wire" wouldn't be a problem.
Thank heavens it's only $20.

Yea I hear ya. That's how I got my pack of cb v2 with a spool of wire from lightning off ebay. And not sure whatever happened to kbee wire, they've all but dried up. I don't know how lv/wire optim's premade spools are. I've only used their regular wire. Seems decent. Lots of things are long gone.I've ordered regular round wire from them, but up till now I've always bought Wotofo and Vandy Vape pre-wrapped wire. If this shipment gets seized, I'll go with Wire Optim for sure. Does seem like the first spool of Clapton wire I got was a Lightning Vapes spool from e-Bay. Came with a pack of Cotton Bacon back then for about $6. Those days are long gone.

I was searching around wondering if I was just out of the loop or what. Haven't seen or heard of hardly any new products (mods, tanks etc). Checked a handful of reviewers, smm, grimm, djlsbvapes, vaping with vic. Pod this and pod that. Not blaming the reviewers since they can only review what's out there. About the only thing I could see was a yihi g class v2, looks almost identical to the v1. Has clamshell doors on it like the old isticks which is nice. Still just 18650. Apparently an updated chip where it polls ambient temp and adjusts tc baselines, improved 'boost' to only apply to initial puffs so subsequent puffs aren't so intense once the coil's warmed up. Ridiculous initial pricetag though. Seeing a lot of places around $170. Not sure why they feel a rehash of a 5-6yr old mod is worth 40% more than a dna 250c but who knows. And in all that time their solution to the parasitic drain was to auto-off the mod after like 30min. lol.
Yes but does it have colorful clock faces!?!!@1!! OMFG I can hardly wait ... or, actually, I'm sure I will, a really long long time before co in China manages to ship it to me, and then I'll insert a battery and fire it up! And then, I'll throw it on a shelf with other Yihis and never use it again. But it was purchased and collected! Therefore it existed and had meaning.About the only thing I could see was a yihi g class v2, looks almost identical to the v1. Has clamshell doors on it like the old isticks which is nice.

They must really be slackin over there now. Remember when a kit with a mod and tank would show up saying something like "plumbing attachment" on it?Well, I'm probably about to have my first FT order seized by Customs.

I just ordered from 3F a few months ago and it was in US dollars- maybe you clicked a wrong box or didn't change to US? Mine went thru paypal and shows the sale in US dollars.Hi vapors,
I used 3FVape for the first time and my order was charged in Chinese yuan, not US dollar.
I'm very surprised because other sellers(FastTech, sourcemore, Aliexpress) never charge in Chinese yuan.
Is this a normal order process?

Thank you for the reply & advice.I just ordered from 3F a few months ago and it was in US dollars- maybe you clicked a wrong box or didn't change to US? Mine went thru paypal and shows the sale in US dollars.
You could put in a ticket at 3F and ask them about it- we have a 3F rep here on the forum that you could PM and ask about this.

I like them in general over the spring loaded bottom doors. My first mod had them, the istick tc100w. They were a lot easier on and off than the rim c (my mom has one). I actually liked the look of the istick 60w, just sad it was single battery and only 60w. I kind of miss the older mods. They seemed a lot more compact and had just a little weight to them. Probably just cast metal and not really durable but they felt better than some of the newer ones which keep getting chunkier and more plasticy. The isticks, kanger mods, evic vt, coolfire 3 and stuff like that.Meant to say....if it's clamshell doors that makes ya happy, you'd be better off with an eLeaf iStick Rim C. It won't aggravate you to damn death.
I gave mine to my sister - and now wish I'd kept it. Tiny mod, but worked great, looked good, nicely portable, and no fucking around.
I mean maybe not because it's the g class but if it's like other yihi mods who knows. It may show for cheap in a few months. That's when I grabbed my first yihi mod, the eclipse. When it came out it was like $90-95. Several months later I caught it on sale for around $26. Then managed to snatch up a few of the trantors and a couple more eclipses during a closeout sale for $10-15/ea. I don't think the g class ever dropped that low though. Just seems a hard intro price when several dna250c mods are floating around on sale from $90-110.Yes but does it have colorful clock faces!?!!@1!!

They must have opened it. Unless it was specifically stated on the package what it was. Which is not what they usually do.Ok, Customs finally bit me. Taifun GX clone from FT got sent back to Hong Kong.
Got a nice e-mail from FT saying that it would be reshipped as soon as it hits the ground in HK, and they're putting a 10% discount into a gift certificate for my trouble. I thought that was decent of them, as all the purchases I've made since the shipping ban, I knew there was a risk that this would happen, and decided the gamble was on me.
Have a Centaurus BF kit on the way, too. Hope that one makes it through.
Oh I doubt it's lost permanently. It'll show up sooner later. It hasn't gotten it's tourist stickers from Disney world, Bourbon Street, Tacoma, Underground Atlanta, Mount Rushmore, Atlantic City, St. Louis or Montauk yet.. Probably in that order.View attachment 193069

It will go to LA before its sent here. Even if didn't it would have been here today. Looks lost.
I actually got that Mongrel SE 2 or 3 days later. VapeSourcing used a stateside ship partner, where they put the USPS label on it.Oh I doubt it's lost permanently. It'll show up sooner later.

Mine always came as "kitchen fixture" or "mechanical part" or something like that.
Ordered a DotMOBB "styled" bridge from FT today. It's supposed to ship in five days. Keeping my fingers crossed that it does.
I like the DotMission bridge in my OhmAIO so much, I know it's not going back in the DotAIO!
ETA: DotMOBB shipped about 4 this morning, so it's right on schedule. @bx10r do you have any advice for me when I go to build this thing? Don't you have several of the BB MOBB bridges? It looks pretty easy to build...
