it's a basic cheap mod, not much to it. it's just going to be a work mod = gets scratched, I don't care. I'm using my Flux mod for that now, but the door hinge is broken(cheap), still closes though.

2 weeks if I'm lucky(insert cricket noise here)

Oh I know, I was just making a clumsy reference to the Noisy Cricket mech mod.:)

That really is a great mod. A muscular performer for sure. I upgraded the firmware on both of mine too. :D

Aegis Solo originally pre-ordered on April 19th from Fasttech has still not shipped. ETA date has been pushed back three times now. If I wasn't saving $15 over what I could buy it for in the states I would have cancelled already.

Jackaroo preordered from Vaporl on April 19th shipped May 7th and is still in transit.

It's a real adventure isn't it?

not the working screen. the one that comes up after it, I have the blue skull star.
I don't know if there's a way to change that, but I haven't tried. I think you're talkin about if you don't choose the clock but choose the other option in wallpaper.

So I took a crap shoot and ordered from 3avape. Price was too low to pass up on an Aegis Solo. I chose free shipping. What's everyone's experience ordering from them?

Oh well I can wait. I cancelled my Aegis Solo preorder from Fasttech because the ETA date kept getting pushed back.

3avape order shipped already. Less than 36 hours after I placed it. Fastest shipping from an overseas vendor ever. Let's see how the rest goes.

Yeah, if you're not using dhl, it can sit in Shenzen forever. Not the vendor's fault.

About 3 weeks or so before my last delivery from them. Other than that never had an issue

Ordered some drip tips from Fasttech. Actually forgot about them because they were in the order with the Aegis Solo I cancelled. Well they shipped on the 18th and arrived today. Not a bad turnaround at 11 days.

My Jackaroo is playing hard to get. Should have been to my local PO three days ago but it made it's way to a PO an hour and a half south. Went back north past our regional sort facility to the one in Philadelphia. Might get it Monday if I'm lucky.

Well I just knocked over my Rafale with the brand new glass tank and cracked it~! Fuck me~! So a quick search led to to FastTech and 5 tanks for $1.68? Holy crap, I could not resist that price and paid a pittance more for USPS 1st Class. So 5 tanks will be on it's way in about 5 days. So lets see what happens. Will I be bitching and moaning or will I be a happy camper? I wasn't paying $9.99 per tank screw that. Fingers crossed.

it's possible that you get them in 3 months. maybe, and I say that loosely, 3-4 weeks. though, uping the shipping may help.
see, the cheap things, they get ultra dirt cheap shipping rates. and that means LOW priority.

so, you will be bitching and moaning UNTIL you get them. then, you will be happy. UNLESS all of them are broken.
for $2, even just one good one is not bad. if you really like that tank, buying 5-10 more is a wise idea.

I almost ordered 10~! I paid for the protective packaging so should be safe. Says ships in 5 days on the site and then 6-14 days for USPS. So as long as they have them in stock I figure maybe 3 weeks tops.

I ordered something cheap, $1.25, from China. the shipping time was listed as 2 weeks to 3 months. I am waiting on it now, bout 2 1/2 weeks.
I once ordered something cheap from China, took 3 months. I gave up on it, then one day, there it was. it was a led festune bulb. and a nice bulb indeed.

my point is = don't hold your breath, and maybe best to just forget about it.

No way to forget about it when this cracked tank starts leaking I have only one spare left. So I am hoping I don't drop it before I have replacements in stock. If it said 2-3 weeks to ship I would not have ordered them. If it doesn't ship within a week I will search for one I can get fast. Need a backup. Fucked up part is I dropped this tank so many times with the Original tank and never cracked it. Then I cracked 2 on carpeting.

oh, you can get em faster 3 days'ish = DHL = they don't fuck around.

I have gotten a delivery from China using DHL in less than 3 days~! But I wasn't paying $24 for a $1.68 order. USPS 1st Class is inexpensive but semi reliable.

Do you use an RBA deck in your Rafale?

No and not sure if I have one for it. I would have to look.

I'd been curious about it before. Just watched a video, looks like a bit of a bear to build but probably ok after the first time.

USPS Already has possession so when 12 days hit's I can complain and open a case. But not going to need to or even worry. Only thing is if I get it as fast as I expect I won't be able to use my favorite Fast Tech meme any longer~!
