Really don't worry about purchasing from Chinese vape places, most places aren't too bad with there shipping it's just a matter of getting used to them a bit.
I was definitely hesitant myself to start with but it's saved me lots of money which means more mods:thumb:
Glad I could help Mate!
One last question (for now) about shopping China vape sites. What would you consider better, Fasttech or Sourcemore?

    As far as shipping times about the same.
    Sourcemore definitely generally has better prices but every now and then Fasttech have a few mods and tanks that are cheaper there.
    It really depends what I'm shopping for, usually Sourcemore though.
    But Fasttech won with Brunhilde:D

    So while you're still not too familiar with em' all it pays to ask, we don't mind going shopping for you anytime:thumb:

    Jump on Fasttech and choose yourself a Brunhilde, put it in your cart and enter in the MAP code.
    If you're happy with the price(30.95) then go to the checkout and take a screenshot of all the different shipping options that you have for me and get back to me, I should be able let you know which is the best option to use. I'm pretty familiar with all the different options.
    I know you said you wanted her at less than $30 but for an RTA of such a good quality unfortunately you will struggle to find one:)

    My latest Fasttech order arrived in Australia yesterday, i placed the order on the 23rd of this month!
    So they can be good;)
    Cigabuy had brunhilde below 30$ with shipping but that was a week before this thread was created so I didn't bother mentioning. Been checking for like a week now but still "returning soon" status.

    I've never seen it there! Surprising:)
    It's entirely up to you where you purchase from Mate:thumb:
    You have a pretty good price from Fasttech there or feel free to go elsewhere.
    Just remember I'm always about to answer any questions you may have:D

    It was there on sale for exactly 2 weeks. I wish I bought it, however, I had a problem with Cigabuy recently. Ordered the Ctulhu Azatoth RDA and it arrived with no airholes! :D hilarious

    my mtl rta is hellvape MD, it's alright, might be better stuff since.
    ppl swear by brunhilde, and it's got a wide range, size might be an issue for some.

    FT usually has free shipping.
    CB is great to watch for sales and theyre quicker than FT's free.

    DL RTA's ORFRF/wotofo gear was kinder to me starting out than wotofo elevate..

    for my bit i'd say don't be hesitant to go to more 'advanced' stuff like straight to squonk (topside single/21700) and rda, to avoid the wicking world. then again, with mtl... a tank doth last so maybe it is excessive.
    or straight to complex wire spools, instead of precoiled, fused claptons to your taste whether mtl or dl, coiling is easy.

    watch a bunch of reviews, vic, djlsb and todd are informative aside from quickies from the more popular reviewers.
    top tens and latest uploaded vids can be useful

    whatever you do, either get a tool kit (under 20 USD) or buy the stuff you don;t have. the bent tweezers the wire cutter and a jig are the ones households don't normally have..

    Todd’s new tank couldn’t be easier (Haar RTA). Vape fly galaxies (don’t know if they are even available now) is another great RTA but is more MTL. Expromizer v4 is another underrated but easy peasy tank (although, MTL as well). The Hasar project X clone is a fantastic easy to build tank if you are looking for a looser draw. I’ve got an original (2ml) and a clone (4ml) that work about the same.

    There's plenty of Vapefly Galaxies still available and there definitely not just a MTL tank!
    It's a very nice MTL to RDL tank, that I can promise you;)

    But the Brunhilde RTA is much better and a lot more easier to work with than all the ones you mentioned there:thumb:

    Daniel has given me good advice before(many times) I would actually go for it (get something else while you are at it) and yes (they seem to be a good company... haven't ordered from them yet but have heard good things about them)
    You have to be patient... could take a long time but you will get it ;)

    I do have a Haar. Did the pre-order he told me not to. Great tank.
    its one of those who is high up in my ”have to get” list.
    I also like Todds reviews in general, Mark sounds to be a great guy.

    One tank who has got good reviews is Suicide mods Ether RTA, Vaping Bogan was behind the development of that one.
    I bought two of them + Ares 2, while I have not vaped enough on them to say which one give best flavor for me, the Ether RTA build quality is miles ahead of the Ares 2.
