1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Finding it hard each day or week to not buy a bargain from FT?
    Your PayPal account keeps taking your money?

    We're all in luck, like a lot of Chinese companies this time of year, FT are giving us a break from these things and we should all be able to steak instead of just plain rice and chicken for the next month.

    The Lunar New Year (Year of the Goat) holiday is around the corner -- the holiday that is celebrated by dozens of cultures in Asia including people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and many more. To these cultures, this holiday is so important that it is celebrated and treated much like, if not more than, how Western cultures celebrates the Christmas.

    This holiday is particularly important to a majority of Chinese who work away from home. To them, the Lunar New Year or CNY is likely their only chance in the year to go home and visit their family. Like it or not, the holiday completely shuts down factories, suppliers, and distribution centers alike.

    FastTech's holiday arrangement for this year's CNY holiday is as follows:

    Official holiday for FastTech: 10 days from February 16, 2015 to February 25, 2015.

    All operations resume on February 26, 2015 at 9:30am Hong Kong Time.

    Effects on orders and support:
    These also apply to merchants (drop shippers).

    Prior to February 13, 2015 (dates inclusive, HKT):
    - Orders: all orders scheduled to ship within these dates are shipped before the holiday.
    - Support: all tickets are replied to before the holiday.

    ** scheduled shipping date is displayed at the bottom of the shopping cart page, as well as in your FastTech account > order history page. **

    February 14, 2015 and February 15,2015 (dates inclusive, HKT):
    - Orders & Support: we aim to ship all orders scheduled between Feb 14 and 15 before the holiday, and we aim to answer all questions made between these dates, but we can not make guarantees.

    February 16, 2015 to February 25, 2015 (dates inclusive, HKT):
    - Orders: all in stock orders are queued for shipment on or shortly after February 26, 2015. Some items may require extra time -- ETA will be displayed on product pages.
    - Support: no support is available between these days.

    February 26, 2015 onward:
    - Orders: shipping resumes. Extra processing time may be required due to holiday backlogs.
    - Support: CS resumes work but response time will be delayed due to backlogs.

    March 3, 2015 onward:
    - All orders expected to resume shipping according to scheduled shipping dates (i.e. normal again).
    - Ticket response time may still be elevated due to backlogs.

    March 10, 2015 onward:
    - All orders and support tickets are expected to be normal again.

    * Orders placed before the holiday, and are scheduled to ship during the holiday, will not be shipped until after the holiday. *

    Keep in mind not all suppliers and factories that FastTech works with resume work on February 26, 2015. FastTech will update the stock status displayed on each product page to show an ETA of each product's post -holiday shipping date.

    Thank you and we wish you a prosperous Year of the Goat!

    Team FastTech

    Sounds like a perfect reason to cancel it...you don't really need it, do you?

    BTW, when does the VF make its return?

    I'm waiting to send mine until yours gets back safe & sound. I finally managed to vape mine 'dry' last night...3 full days of vaping on 2 Sony VTC5's...ending battery voltage was 3.1 volts on both cells...what a beast it is!

    FT might be saying their holiday starts on the 16th but they appear to have stopped shipping already. Ordered a Taifun GT V2 10 mins ago and stock eta is shown as tomorrow but scheduled shipping date is the 26th.
