FT banning e-cig shipments to Thailand?

Thought that too.. but it was probably the giant bag of cotton that threw them off and caused them to rip it open .

 

Ive had kanthal...JUST Kanthal in the package...seized in the past as a restricted item. It will depend entirely on whether it is inspected and the individual interpretation of the official of the laws. Once the decision has been made good luck trying to change it. BUT if they don't inspect it then you will of course be golden. lol

This was some time ago now, I should add, and the seizures have increased since then dramatically.

 

For Kanthal, I don't really know if it is pure for ecig use. I ordered ss316L which is quite normal for many electronic devices. Anyway, I wish myself good luck

 

Kanthal is generic heating wire, not just for coils. Pretty sure I was unlucky. As I say it depends on if it gets checked at all and then on the individual official. Losing just wire is, I think, pretty unusual.

And of course good luck.

 

FT is still reluctant to refund me the money for the two snatched packaged ... they told me i had to wait another 4 weeks ... and i wait 8 weeks already

 

Oh boo hoo!

What a liberty, making you wait 12 weeks before refunding you for something that is entirely your fault!

 

If our wonderful customs department took it I can't see how that is FT's fault or their problem. I would not be asking them for a refund. It was not their fault.

 

i used to buy Uwell Crown Coils from fastech.com but now the only shipping option they offer is via Emirates post and this is expensive and concerns me. Can anyone recommend another retailer where I can purchase Uwell Crown Coils at a similar price ($8.99) EXCEPT for focalecig?

 

Seen them on ali express for $9.70 here Uwell Crown SUS316 Stainless Steel Heating Wire Replacement Coil for Crown Tank with 0.25/0.5/0.15ohm 4pcs/lot-in Atomizer Cores from Consumer Electronics on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

apart from that gearbest have authentics (not sure about aliexpress) for $15 here Original Uwell Ni200 TC 0.15ohm Core-14.80 Online Shopping| GearBest.com

As far as I know there's a global shopping holiday or something on the 11th in China and I'd imagine that will cause a huge delay in shipping so get your orders in asap.

 

I also can understand FT after all the Thai control (confiscation) .
they don't send acu long ago, they don't send e cig equipment one month ago,
Concerning my orders they stay correct and fair.
I'm a bit sad cause they got cheap and wonderful clones and good products ( just have to make the good choice).
My last orders were on ebay and sometime you don't know exactly what you buy.

 

Just made a order with FT. Shipping was not free, cost me about 10$ for shipping.
Check it , there is now one shipping option for Thailand

 

@VapeApe :
Thank you a lot for this good information.

 

Vaping gear sent Emirates Post. The postal charge is a percentage of the order value. Given that FT are generally very cheap, with items hard to find elsewhere, it may be a good deal. NB, usual risks apply.

 

I wonder why Emirates Post would be more likely to clear customs, and if FT refunds for items that don't make it?

Wait, I see a camel walking down my soi--must be my FT order.

 

I ordered a TFV4 and pack of replacement coils from gearbest with Registered Post NL as decided to sell my Uwell crown. If it gets seized ill update.
