It means that you are going to wait- if you go to FT forums you will read about this item and the delays. This was a brand new pre-order and their demand exceeded their supply. CNY happened - huge sales! If you wanted it fast you should have choose somewhere else to purchase this kit! It may show up sooner than the ETA or may be pushed back to another later date.<Begin rant>
Bloody hell, this waiting game is hard.
Anybody know what this even means?
Says ship date is today, but the ETA next to it is for 28th Feb.
Does that mean it'll ship out on 28th, or reach me on 28th? because the other two items dont have an ETA next to them.

I want my SMOK baby

I don't know if you are in the US, but have seen this for sale to purchase now. You could forget about it and wait- or cancel the whole order and put back on your CC and purchase somewhere else that has this in stock!
I always use FT for things I can't get here or that I am in NO hurry for, but I have received every order I have placed with them, I am in the same waiting game, I am waiting from 2/7 est to now 2/18, but I am in no hurry for them, mainly coils for my stockpile and drip tips!
Your friend could probably help you out with a cheap starter set till this comes in, which would become your backup when you get this kit!
cheers, was digging around for this.This is about your item on the FT forum!

Am not in the US,
Ecig City in California, so you'll have in a week. Free shipping. $9 more than FT, but that's the cost of 1-2 packs of cigs. You'll smoke more than 2 packs in the month long wait from ft.
Read that it has some major leaking issues though. Check youtubeIjoy rdta box I love it and would be surprised if you break it it's quite big tho

thanks! saves me a ton of time. I'm really surprised the tank itself isn't sealed. no reason for the top to be completely open Should only have a fill hole and the hole where the atty is. 2 small round holes with rubber gaskets IMOWatch this instead of doing that R&D on your own.
This fellow opens the mod up, pin-points the exact source of the leak, and suggest a way to fix it.
My pleasure,thanks! saves me a ton of time. I'm really surprised the tank itself isn't sealed. no reason for the top to be completely open Should only have a fill hole and the hole where the atty is. 2 small round holes with rubber gaskets IMO
yup that's what it looks like. so could be an issue with the rubber gasketMy pleasure,
The gist i got from it, is that the tank is't a completely sealed baggy, it's essentially topless, and relies on the top part of the mod, to cover that. The source of the leak, is the seam where the open top tank meets the body, another source is where the atty drops down into it.
Probably, though i don't recall seeing a rubber gasket between the tank and the body.yup that's what it looks like. so could be an issue with the rubber gasket
check out the 20:55 mark. you'll see it sitting next to the tankProbably, though i don't recall seeing a rubber gasket between the tank and the body.
I'd recommend going through the whole video, because the leak is terribly dangerous in this one. It's an internal leak, and the juice can potentially seep right through to the chip, and even worse, the battery.
So have ya gotten it yet?
Juuuust wondering. Some really like the alien, some don't. I don't have one, so no opinion, but would really like the opinion of a NEW vaper...
LOL- How dramatic!!!!!! I am still waiting on my FT order from 1/27/17 it is just a regular order with coils and drip tips, no rush for me and I know that FT had its CNY sale and it will take a while for China to get back to business! I would never order something that I needed yesterday from any China source!
But now you could get your starter kit like a AIO, Juul , or the eLeaf Pico kit, visit a vape shop,or even gas station ecigs to help transition you while you wait and become your back up when you have your Alien! Start making a conscience effort in cutting back cigs! You will get your Alien faster if you try to forget about it and stressing over shipping!
I am not sure where you live, but for now we in the US are lucky with many great online shops and quick shipping and great sales and prices!
I only use fasttech for coils, drip tips and have ordered a couple of mods that were not for sale in the US like the Aleader Funky Box 60, SBody Legend 75w DNA and the Yosta Livepor 160- they all took a while but I did get them all!
Just remember that companies like FT,GB,3F are at the mercy of the shippers, customs, and even the weather! I have had these orders ship out quickly from them, only to sit for a week or more in Customs! You chose the way to ship, not the companies fault, they do not own the mail services!
Haahah, i know snappy, dont get snappy xD
And yes, it was overly dramatic, but only for the humor in it.
I'v pretty much resigned myself to the wait.
And my only grudge with FT was for not honoring the pre-order date. Other than that, i'm quite well aware of how messed up intl shipping can be, especially the free options.
Btw, im far far away in the mystical land of India, i'm closer to china, *tongue in cheek
LoL- I am only kidding with you! I am still waiting for my FT order to ship since 1/27! They said the drip tips would be in stock by 2/15, but now it is showing 2/27 I cancelled the drip tip! I am not waiting another week! They are only a warehouse, they are really at the mercy of the manufactures of these items and dates! Then comes shipping- again, once they hand over that order over to the shipper, they are at the mercy of how quickly your order arrives! Always try to order an IN Stock item with FT- it is much faster and not after a holiday or big sale!
Here in the US- US shops already have that Smok Kit and for a very good price- I am not sure on India, but hopefully you get your dream kit soon and will be on the road to quitting cigarettes!
Let us know when you get your kit!
So have ya gotten it yet?

how many ml you at now bro?I've vaped about 60ml since your first post. I'm shooting for 300 before you get your first ecig.
Heh, i know yo.
Btw, did your stuff arrive yet?
cuz guess what.. Mine DID .!!!!
*insert slew of happy, excited, crazy, trigger happy emoticons*
Here you go. Very early impressions so far :
After the first few drags on it.. All i'd say is.. yeah.. she's a beast alright.
The recommended wattage on the pre-installed Q2 coils is 65 W . I started at 50 and nearly burnt my vape virgin throat up. Now waay down to 30-35 W and enjoying a nice luke warm vape with decent flavor.
No spit backs so far, but i do hear gurgling sounds in the tank. But nothing too disconcerting.
The mod is absolutely lovable, teeny tiny, a bit thicker than i imagined, but very handy nevertheless.
Got a battery, but no external charger, using the mod to charge the batteries for now an
Now that i actually have a mod, i wont feel silly commenting on other parts of the forum. Pointers appreciated.
Special thanks to
@AndriaD For being impatiently patient with my noob ass.
@SnapDragon NY For being a guiding light,
how many ml you at now bro?

I have never used a Smok item, but I too am not surprised that he is starting out at the lower end of the wattage- it is his 1st device! I have been vaping for over 2 years and I still vape 25-30w, hate to tell you what I used to quit cigarettes, but they worked for me, those cigalikes and will power!
I am just glad that he finally got what he wanted and hope after this experience to order his vape gear in advance( like coils and eliquid) and maybe throw in a backup( mod and tank) especially since he is doing this to quit cigarettes! Nothing is perfect and what do you use when something happens to your only gear? No way are cigarettes my back up plan!
Hi and welcome from this new member from Texas. My wife bought me the SMOK AL85 and it is FANTASTIC! I smoked between a half to a pack of Marlboro Reds and Camel for decades (a bit more if I was drinking) and I REALLY suggest you start off with 12mg Nicotine. I was skeptical myself when it came to the 12mg amount as those cigarettes have a higher nic amount, BUT, the mod does a great job of really satisfying your craving to light up with just 12mg in the e-juice. I'm a true believer as this morning was the first REAL test for me when I poured a cup of coffee. No issues at all, no cravings or wanting to light-up, man 12mg in the SMOK AL85 is perfect. Remember, you can always go higher in the nic amount, but I honestly suggest you try 12mg to start until you get your vaping rhythm down as far as how many puffs your gonna take.
Lol, that's HIGH praise indeed !Hooray! Glad you generally like it.
I am TOTALLY unsurprised that you're vaping lower than the recommended wattage on the coils. Not to one-up you, but I just got a TFV8 (The big beast, not the baby), and I am vaping lower than the "recommended wattage" for the V8-T8 coil preloaded in this monster. Supposedly "Best" at 120-180w, and I'm running 70-80 at most.
I am also not surprised you like a SMOK product. Gun to my head, if I could only choose products from one company for the rest of my life, it would probably have to be them. A little pricey on those enormous coils, but that's been my only complaint with any SMOK product I've ever had.
yikes, i started with 6mg on this, and if i vape more than 10 puffs, my head starts to feel dizzy.Hi and welcome from this new member from Texas. My wife bought me the SMOK AL85 and it is FANTASTIC!

Everybody has their own likes and dislikes- That's why for one person using a higher nic is good for him and works, while another person it is too much!yikes, i started with 6mg on this, and if i vape more than 10 puffs, my head starts to feel dizzy.
18mg would give me nicotine overdose for sure. Mostly because this is a cloud tank, produces a shit load of vapor and hence that much more is absorbed by your body. For such tanks, 18 mg might be waay too much.
@AndriaD @SnapDragon NY : Have only had one cig since getting the mod. Dont even crave the cigs that much anymore. Heck, i think the baby beast might be supplyin more nic than what i used to smoke. I often start feeling a lil woozy after a vape sesh, and sometimes, a bloated stomach, any idea why?

I'm actually planning to get a 3mg and even a 0mg liquid, to do just that ! vape my face off, cuz tbh, this is way more enjoyable than a cigarette.It's really all just a matter of getting used to the slower delivery, and using a nic level low enough that even if you "vape your face off" (as many of us do, at first), you don't get the "icky" feelings.
So damn true, and then you keep smoking more and more chasing that kick.Also the slight dizzy/woozy feeling -- I got that one when I first started smoking, way back in 1975; by the time you don't get dizzy anymore, you're a hooked smoker.
