Hey guys and gals. Just signed up not too long ago and guess I need to make an intro post. I'm new to vaping. Started as an alternative to smoking but I'm getting into it a lot. My first purchase was a 1300mAh spinner and a protank1. Well, that lasted about two weeks til the bug hit. In the past couple weeks I've won an iTaste 134 in a contest, bought various tanks like the PT2, HyperTank, iClear30, bought a Vamo (I'll get into that fiasco in a bit, thanks fasttech.... smh) and a Kamry K100 to try out a mech. I also ordered an IGO-L to try my hand at making some coils out. And thats not even including all the juices. Ooooh, the juices. I am super excited to try out my Alice in Vapeland juices when they get here! Well, this is my intro. Hope you enjoyed it.


Oh, and a shout out to Phil (not Pete) Busardo for all his awesome vids and info.

So Fasttech changed my order. This is the issue I eluded to. I ordered a 5 in 1 kit. The SS Vamo V3, a charger, 2 Samsung 18650's and something else (a cord maybe?). Well I just checked the status of my prder since I placed it on the 12th. Go and look and sure enough its now a 3 piece kit! No batts same price. What gives?!? I'm a little perturbed by this. And rightfully so I'd say. The SKU is the same but the SKU has been changed to a different product now. AND they still have kits with more in them for cheaper. Hmmm.

Here is the order confirmation I got in an email.

Link to what that SKU is now: $58.85 Vamo V3 3-in-1 Variable Voltage Mod / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment Kit - stainless steel / Nitecore I2 US battery charger at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

And what my order looks like in their system.

I have never used Fast Tech but many here have. Congrats on winning the mod and vaping with us here at ECF. Hope everything works out for ya.

Thanks DM. Sorry, for the vent, but has anyone else had this issue with them? I read up on here and they got great reviews. Its just a bummer man. I sent them a ticket asking whats up so we'll see what they say.

Yes, hundreds of us use fasttech and generally the only issues are picking Cheap knock-off to save a buck, then complaining or the current shipping fiasco through HKpost.

China Customs has gone full tilt in Kicking anything back to the supplier that has Raw Batteries in it.
i.e. order all you want. 90% will never ship - not the venders<CUSTOMS> new stance on following Proper handling of goods.

Before you start the More for Less debate - look at the What vs What for the money.

As to Bait and switch, I have never had that issue, though they may have felt in order to get the Needed Product to the buyer, they had to change contents of the SKU. i.e. customer NEEDS the Vamo - batteries are a bonus.

If not Shipped - Cancel for Credit. Wait for Credit to show. Order Different - or Cancel for Refund - Item not as described

Well, I ended up cancelling the order and ordering a V5 some Panny ncr18650pd's and a nitecore i4 instead. Hopefully those are all good picks.
