Huge Price Difference, I'm Confused... *Grr*

RIGHT

I have yet to see them use a brand name for a fake.
They have the Kanger ProTank ($12), and they have the "X9 ProTank with plastic tank" ($4).
Don't order the $4 copy and then blame them for selling knockoffs!

PS - I got my SVD from them It's perfect.

This is where people need to pay attention. If the fasttech site says that it's a Kanger, then it is a Kanger. You can't just buy something that says T3 or EVOD and expect it to be from Kanger. If it was, it would say "Kanger EVOD".

...
While there are some vendors that really jack up the prices, the biggest reason you see that huge disparity between Fast Tech and your local vendor is the additional costs that vendor incurs in bringing the product into the country.

Spot on.

The extra you're paying, is for the convenience of having a local source, and service.

If you can deal with the Fasttech limitations (minimum order quantity, shipping times, service), then more power to you; you're buying things at distributor pricing, not retail, with limited service.

I can deal with the order quantity (at least on this order in particular) ans shipping time. One thing that kinda worries me though is when you say service. Does FT have a reputation of bad customer service? I would be interested to hear the opinion of several people on here that has used them.

Have ordered lottsa stuff from FT without problem. A friend ordered a low cost eGo from them and it was DOA. FT replaced it it with no questions asked.

Fasttech is fine for ordering mods (granted the downside is the wait time for shipping from China). But, do not order batteries from them. I don't know if it was the shipping or just poor quality battery (even though it was branded as a Panasonic), but on one of the batteries the button top was crooked and the other one was dented. So yeah, mods are OK, but never buying batteries from there again.

Thanks for that post because I had considered buying some batteries from Fast Tech but was starting to have second thoughts about it. I just ordered a K100 from them however. When I see the price of the SVD they have on there, and then remember what I paid elsewhere. Oh well, live and learn

There is no minimum quantity at Fasttech. Well, I guess there is. It's 1.

I've ordered single items from them on many occasions.

Have you ordered from Fasttech?

I think you might not have as their minimum order quantity is 1 and they have a better guarantee / warranty than most US vendors selling consumables for vaping.

I think I read that FastTech return warranty is 45 days? You should read the FAQ and the FastTech thread here before committing.

Their return for exchange is 6 months .

Ahhh, the old Fasttech debate....never gets old

I tried to order half an EVOD, but FT wouldn't let me.

I just bought a battery from them and I'm waiting for it, $11 for two 18650 UltraFire batteries + A charger. For this price it seems too good to be true, but maybe it is :/ We'll see..

Sorry, I certainly didn't mean that service is bad, I just meant that the service is designed for a distributor, not a consumer, so, shipping times.

Also, if you order a sample (which is effectively what you're doing when ordering a qty of 1), the service you'll get may vary, if you've never placed an order for 100, or 1'000, of anything. You'll get your service, but it may not be a priority: that's not what Fasttech is for.

edit; also, don't expect a pretty blonde with a sultry voice: never gonna happen
