Analysis Paralysis - Placing first order with Fast Tech

[JRudey]

fast tech doesn't make it easy to choose. There's way too many options. Analysis Paralysis is setting in. I have a few things in my cart already:

EGO-CE5 2-in-1 USB Rechargeable 650mAh Electronic Cigarettes Set
2-in-1, EGO-CE5, 650mAh, Black SKU 1409702 $7.69

EGO-K / CE4, 2-in-1, 650mAh, Gold EGO-K / CE4 2-in-1 USB Rechargeable 650mAh Electronic Cigarettes Set
EGO-K / CE4, 2-in-1, 650mAh, Gold SKU 1406705 $7.35

EGO-K / CE4, 2-in-1, 650mAh, Black EGO-K / CE4 2-in-1 USB Rechargeable 650mAh Electronic Cigarettes Set
EGO-K / CE4, 2-in-1, 650mAh, Black SKU 1406702 $7.35




US Plug, Black Universal USB Charger Adapter (US Plug) (1000 mAh)
US Plug, Black SKU 1290901 $1.80 (quantity 5 reduces price to $1.52 each)

That puts my cart @ $29.99

Should I just pull the trigger and let the chips fall where they may? I don't actually need any of this stuff. I have friends that are interested in vaping and I want to have some cheap spare starter kits on hand. I already have plenty of juice after indulging in the Azure vaping Pre-Mix Special.

Any suggestions? I've never ordered from a Chinese vendor before this experiment.

EGO-K / CE4 2-in-1 USB 650mAh E-Cigarettes Set $6.70 each (Qty - 5)

Most everybody in ECF has had very good luck with FT. They have great customer service & follow up on everything. Stuff I got was in my PO box in about 8 days. So you have to know there is some waiting time to get your stuff. It varies though but you will get it eventually. Not so sure if it's not our USPS system that screws up orders half the time. Ha.

I have been happy with every purchase I've made with them. Their prices are pretty hard to pass up as long as you don't need your stuff right away I think they are great. Although their search function leaves a bit to be desired. They have so much stuff it's unreal.
So I'd say pull the trigger.

Hope that helps. Viking fan here.

I also just placed my first order with them, which is similar to yours. I got two Ego batteries, one of which came with a charger, along with a few tanks and coils. I figure that will give me enough spares to last a few months if something gets broken. For less than $8, I decided to get one of these:

It appears to be a complete e-cig with everything except the battery. Since a battery is good only for a limited number of charge/recharge cycles, I decided to get one of these since it will, in theory, last forever. (Yes, in practice, something will eventually break.) Also, it seems to be the cheapest way to get a complete e-cig. So if it works, it would be a good one to be able to give away to newbies, who can try it out to their heart's content, as long as they are close to a power supply.

I also got some unrelated electronic devices, such as a few $2 MP3 players. If half the stuff is in working order, I'll be happy.

It's good I didn't see that Passthrough device. It would have added another hour to my FastTech analysis. I might not have gotten the order placed until tomorrow.

You'll love it. I use my Halo G6 Passthrough everyday. I plug it into an 2 amp AC power adapter I bought from MadVapes. Your's is way cooler because it's a variable voltage model. I'm jealous.

Fwiw, I just got my SVD and Panasonic batteries from FT. I'm very pleased.

I like their Ego twists.

How much more is the upgrade to 900mAh? In my opinion, it's a big jump up in performance and vape time, for not very much more money.

I considered the 900mAh model. You're right, the increase in cost is minimal. (about $1 extra per unit) But, for someone being introduced to vaping, smaller is often better. I was even looking at the 400mAh model, because they're lighter and easier to stash away. The 650's seemed to have the best price-point. And, I was impressed by the discount you can get for buying 5 units.

Follow-up to your comment. I might end up ordering this twin pack:

$9.35 900mAh Rechargeable Battery for Ego Electronic Cigarette (2-Pack) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

You get two 900mAh batteries for less than $10. It would compliment the starter kits I already ordered.

Fasttech is great, provided you don't need to receive your order quickly. I've had a few orders sit at customs in San Francisco for 2 weeks or more. I have a hard and fast rule now: I NEVER buy hardware from anywhere else but China, and I never buy juice from anywhere except the USA. Seems to work well for me.

It takes a lil while longer from china but the prices cant be beat. Havent been disappointed yet. Pull da trigger.

I placed my second order with FastTech. This one was half the size as the original one. I added a twin-pack of 900mAh batteries based on the suggestion I received from Forkeh. (Thanks!)
