    Ordered some coils from FT. Guessing the delivery time would be 2 weeks plus. They were sent out on 2nd and no sign yet. No big deal as they cost just a few $, just wondering if they've been impounded or if its worth waiting another 7-10 days or so?

    Any recent experiences?

    No idea TBH. I'll look on the website tomorrow. See what I selected. Might well have been whatever the default is. So could have been sea - snail mail LOL.

    see if you've got any kind of tracking number and use that to check where it is

    No. None. I didn't bother with tracking given the small cost. Plus I wondered if it'd draw more attention to the package, even though its only wire.

    FT has always provided a tracking # for me no matter how small the order.

    Log on to the FT website, click "my orders" and click on your order number. Tracking # should show on that page.

    Just checked again. Shipped by air-mail. Definitely no tracking number. Given that they shipped by air mail methinks they may have gone AWOL :(

    I'm wondering if maybe the air mail is an error and if it has actually shipped by ground. Seems odd they could ship by air given it was literally a few dollars. Time will tell I guess. Meanwhile I'll order some wire from DNA. The FT order was Kanthal 24/26 so I'll supplement that with some SS316 from DNA and some fused Claptons. The DNA order should arrive fast enough.

    I've ordered many shipment form FT in the past several months and everything has arrived safely. I actually increased my orders because nothing was being stopped by customs.

    This sounds the most likely...one day, it will probably just show up.

    I placed 5 orders within the past 3 months and they all arrived. I prefer China Post. Relatively fast (it usually takes 2 weeks) and you get tracking number

    Last time I tried FT they just blocked ordering vape products destined for thailand--so now they let you order?

    I have no clue how people have so many choices on shipping, I would kill for a china post option.

    All I can choose from is hk ground shipping (slow boat) or hk air mail, that's typically around $15-20 extra on an order for 20 bucks.

    At least it's possible now, just have to be patient.

    Are there any batteries or internal battery mods in that?
