I placed an order with fasttech around Sept 3 or 4. It still has not arrived. Therefore I can't comment on product quality, only price.

In addition to liquids and assorted other stuff, the order included

EGO-C Twist "1100mAh" Variable Voltage Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette
EGO-C Twist, "1100mAh", Silver / SKU: 1408806
Price $12.69 Discount ($0.73) QTY 3

Kanger Protank-II Clearomizer w/ Pyrex Glass Tank (2.5mL)

Translucent, 2.5Ω: (Protank-II) / SKU: 1429700
Price $17.31 Discount ($0.85) QTY 3


When the faeces collided with the ventilator, thanks to the Hong Kong postal authorities (There is a big thread about this...)

I ordered some Protank IIs from SmokTek. Got them in 2 days. They cost 3 dollars more than from fasttech, including shipping.

So for all three, I paid, relative to the FT delivered price, the cost of a pack of cigarettes to have them in two days, versus 'maybe someday' from FT.

Then I went looking for some Kanger Protank II Minis. I bought them from Sweet-vapes.com, in Wisconsin. I ordered them late Thursday afternoon, and they were in my mailbox on Saturday morning. Their price for the identical authentic Kanger product was
lower than fasttech's. FastTech also listed them as 'out-of-stock'.

I thank the delay in delivery of the FT order for leading me to these vendors. Also, while I wait, somewhat patiently, for the Hangsen and
Liqua and Dekang juices to arrive from Hong Kong, I've discovered two very good juice sources in the U.S. These are AzureVaping.com and Juice-e-vapes.com. I will be a repeat customer for both. Their juices are better than anything I've tried so far from Hangsen, Liqua or Dekang. Juice-e-vapes has a 15% discount coupon listed here in the forum, and Azure is pretty darned inexpensive for large quantities.

The moral of the story? I have no issue with waiting for a Hong Kong delivery, but it's going on a month and I still haven't seen any products. I might buy from FT in the future, if the first order ever gets here and is in good shape. Their prices do look good. That said,
for some items you can find similar or even cheaper U.S. sources, with quick delivery and fine service. I will not, in the future, just assume that FT is the lowest price source.

i just went to check out Azure and saw they suffered some extreme water damage and had to move sites. :( Have you ordered from them since they started taking orders again?

Yes, I ordered from them on 13 Sept. The liquids arrived two days later. They still, in some cases, would benefit from steeping, but the apple, lemon and lemon/lime are being used daily and are pleasant. The tobacco flavors need some time to settle down. They are ok now, but will improve if I step out of character and am patient.

I just stumbled across this "Deal of the Day"

510 M Starter Kit

It includes everything a non-vaper would need to get started for under $20.

2 Rechargeable Batteries with Green LED
1 Wall Charger
1 USB charger
1 Charger cable
6 Re-fillable Cartomizers (3.0 Ohms / Single Coil)
1 User's manual

Kits like these usually go for $50 and up.
