    The vendors I trust & use are all listed in the supplier section, and they pay so that we have an ecf forum to become more informed.

    How many "DiscountVapors" threads, or EmpireMods threads do you see here on the main forum?
    There is a difference between a vendor being mentioned in a post, and having a thread ........ or 10 or 12.

    fasttech contributes nothing, yet they have been getting all the ink .... I find that offensive.

    I agree with you that people should post FastTech things in the one thread rather than keep creating many.
    However because a company pays ECF for their own place does not make them a good vendor, people's experiences with that vendor are more important to me vs. whether they have paid. FT are "getting the ink" because a lot of people are reporting their experiences with them or interested in them.

    Perhaps the ECF powers that be should look into Fast Tech's affiliate link program IF they have one. This seems to be the current trend for online advertising revenue.

    There's no FT reps posting 100's of times a day. These are real users/members of the forum. Maybe it's time to give credit where credit is due. FT is getting the ink because they're doing it better than 'the other guy'. I'm offended by the idea that I should feel guilty about discussing or recommending ANY vendor based on their contribution to ECF Forum.

    There, fixed that for ya.

    Right now FT is laughing all the way to the bank saying "look at all that free advertising we are getting at ecf"!
    Ever think that maybe the vendors that do contribute to the forums might have a legitimate complaint coming? (being as they are not allowed to post on any forum other than their own page)

    What happens if those other vendors say "hay wait just a damn minute" and pull their support?

    What I find offensive is the attitude that US based vendors are always better than the Chinese counterparts. If I can get the same item for half the cost from Fasttech, and with excellent customer service, that is where I am going to buy from. A specific example:

    I purchased my VAMO kit from Fasttech for ~$51. The kit came with Vamo, 2 knock-off Vivi Novas, 2 18350 batteries and a charger. The SAME kit, same everything, can be bought from US based vendors with a huge markup. The only difference is I paid 51 dollars and waited 11 days, from Fasttech. I could have it in my hands in 3 days from a US vendor, but I would have to pay a lot more for the SAME item. I can stand to wait a couple of weeks to get something for 1/2 price.

    And another thing....Suppliers pay for the right to have threads on ECF. Fasttech gets threads for free. I would rather have my recommendations from someone who has purchased from a company, with great results, rather than someone who paid to have threads dedicated to them.

    I am not knocking US based vendors, completely the opposite. I would prefer to by from "local" vendors. I would buy from them, if the customer service was there, and the prices were not outrageous.

    No one from FastTech is posting on this site so not really a legitimate complaint. If we are only allowed to discuss vendors who have paid then Adios ECF, you have ceased to be a useful resource to me.

    Missing the point!
    Three NEW FT threads in the last two days is the point! (4 FT threads on the front page at this moment, all saying the same thing)

    Free country, you can purchase where you want.

    Most of the registered suppliers are long time members and very active in the vaping community. Many are extremely active with CASAA. When needing donations for contests or to help fellow vapers, they never hesitate to donate. For example, a popular e-liquid supplier donated over 100 bottles of his liquid to raise money for fellow vapors who were out money. Ill members or their families, they always contribute.

    Like any small business owner, they aren't buying yachts but paying their mortgage and making car payments, sending their kids to school. Many go out of their way to give great customer service.

    Yes I did! I actually got a Vamo V2 SS model

    The link was a Vamo V3 body only (chrome) . I can get it from Fasttech for $ 32.18, shipped. Your site was $48.99+$3.50 shipping. Oh, and where is the charger, batteries, and tanks? Your link said it has a 14 day return policy, and no refunds. Fasttech lets you Return for refund within: 45 days and Return for replacement within: 6 months Like I asked before, what make this item any better than the one I can get from Fasttech.
