Big ups to Vaper Joe! Share your story.

[tddman66]

Uhhhh, I hope you realize that no matter who you order from, almost all ecig products are from China. Unless you are buying a Saber, Provari or another specified USA made product, its from China. If you are going to complain about a product, complain about the merits of the quality of the k200. I myself have a k100 and its a wonderful mech mod. Its up to you to research the products you buy.....he just finds great prices.

I learned that... Don't count on his recommendations... Do your own homework

In fact just buy direct from China and cut out the middle man save some serious coin

If you are going to collect a 200% profit turning over China bulk test the item at the very least!

Why is it Joes responsibility to test vape products? Quality control issues are beyond his scope and not his fault.
I have no idea where you got your figures from either.

I always thought the K200 look like junk. Guess I was right. VJ is pointing you to a good price at the time he posts. Like the others have stated, you have to do the leg work. If you go and look and like the item and the price, don't blame someone else for your purchase. Everyone knows you can get it cheaper from China. But you might have to buy 10 or 20 of them to get that cheap price.

Edit: I have 2 K100s enroute from China. From my RESEARCH they're great mods with not a single bad review (that I could find).

 

[Butters78]

I forgot I made this thread.

Bottom line is he reports good prices. He's not a reviewer and is just providing a service for the community. Those that are complaining, what have you done to help the community?

 

[hottierockstar]

He is recommending over priced garbage....


Best price out there.... on the Edsel....

So he does not endorse the products.... They can be pure garbage but it is at a low price?

i think it is far less of a "i recommend this" and way more of a "if you are looking for XYZ check this price out"

i seriously doubt that he could test and vouch for *every* vaping product known to man and even if he could....it is the buyer's responsibility to do the research of the product and the buyer always has the final purchase/don't purchase power....

even reviews written or video aren't gospel..they are the reviewer's *opinion*...recalls, totally different story.

Kinda tired of the Joe haterz out there. He performs a simple service of finding outstanding deals and posting them on his blog. There's no recommendations to buy anything. As for the affiliate links and $$$ he makes, more power to him.

I co administer a website and Facebook support page for a game app and anyone that hasn't done something like this has ZERO idea what it takes to keep a site up and running and provide support while never charging anyone anything ever.

Just a suggestion, but for Vapor Joes critics maybe you should be a little more of a giver and less of a taker. If anyone is offended by what I've said, I'm not responsible for your feelings. But I'm also not going to remain silent when I see someone like Joe that has done so much for the vaping community get bashed for making a few bucks for the countless hours of time it takes to do what he does.

I listened to this last night live. For anyone interested here's the recorded version of Vapor Joe on Click Bang responding to callers, fans and critics alike.

ok, but let's not all gang up on the ones who don't like Joe. I do, but no one is liked by everyone and everyone is entitled to an opinion.

 

[madicen]

The best part of last night's ClickBang was when Joe said FT has awesome customer service. I nearly choked laughing. He was serious about it too...FT, awesome customer service. The emails are barely legible, they take a day to get to you. Look, im sure people will come in here, like they do anywhere someone has the balls to says something negative against FastTechJoe (thats what we call him now as that is all he's been peddling on his site since his big revelation that he does indeed make money on his blog), and say "ive never had a problem with FT"....just wait...it'll happen to you too I've seen countless people go through nightmares trying to return broken out of the box gear, stuff that they didn't order...and on an on...but I digress...

I also enjoyed hearing him eat...what was that, an apple? I need to put that on a loop...nice wet sounds of Joe eating and talking, yeah that's hot. Rude, uncouth pig.

Then there was when his ModEnvy co-host called in...priceless. Last night's show was better than anything that I normally might watch on Tuesday night.

Before last night I might have been somewhat in his corner...but myself, and Im sure many others, we're just shocked at how big of a meatball Joe is. And this is from someone who has been a weekly watcher of ModEnvy from the get go. I will admit that the last few weeks we have been just keeping it turned down low while we are doing other stuff and just watching to see if we won something..

Im sure St Joe can do no wrong to a lot of people, but that crap last night was just, well it put me off his supporters list for good. He was nasty and rude..where he didnt need to be. He came off like a fricking meatball. The last few weeks of his blog, which I have been a big fan of since the start, has been going down hill...more FT crap than anything else...and well, yeah no thanks. Might be good for some, and Im as frugal as they come, but the majority of the stuff I would be interested in (rba's and mechs) are junk, plain and simple. Knock offs of knock offs.

There are plenty of other blogs like Joes out there that dont just peddle FT crap...and a few other affiliates that pay him.

I have had a couple issues with fasttech and they were resolved very quickly. I didnt even need to send anything back to them.

Second, who cares if Joe ate while he was on the show. He snacks during ModEnvy and during the after hours. I snack while watching.

And honestly, Im surprised Joe didnt lose his Sh.... more than what we heard. The two or three earlier callers were impressively ignorant and have posted trash all over reddit and facebook. I commend him on how he conducted himself. You should probably realize that Joe is a regular guy....not some polished businessman. Not sure what type of pedestal you put these people on to begin with to think they wont react to that mess......

And, I think its safe to say that FastTech isnt selling high end anything, let alone RBAs/RDAs. If you do your homework on what you are buying you would know this.

Quite honestly, if you dont like the guy and arent willing to actually watch the show, why are you hanging out on Saturday to win gear from them? Put your money where your opinion is and stop watching and let those of us who actually appreciate what he does watch and win in peace.

I noticed some of the deals are from non ecf certified vendors. Don't know if I should trust them.

Highly agree. Problem is that a newcomer doesn't know, and will Trust that all of that will have been sorted for him.

 

[Sa Da Tay]

Simple and strange thing I've learned from ECF: ANY thread/topic can turn into a conflict.

Wait am I in the right thread?

Long before the "Does Joe make money BS" there have been 50+ page threads on this forum regarding FT. Take the time to read them and you'll find over 95% completely satisfied with them.

Edit: I have 2 K100s enroute from China. From my RESEARCH they're great mods with not a single bad review (that I could find).

I understand that... NOW.... VaperJoe will list the biggest piece of crap out there as long as it is priced low. He does not endorse or even try the garbage he lists. When I bought the K-200 I was under the impression this guy knew his products and was recommending tried and true products. Now I know that is not the case. I can tell you first hand you can get pure garbage following his leads.

Personally I will never buy another Kamry product.... Burn me once shame on you... burn me twice shame on me... The k200 electronics are junk. A 4.25V battery will read 4.6volts... They fire from 3.7v to 6volts. Not the listed 3-6. The 510 threading is horrible. (I bought an adapter and used locktite to install it (knowing the threads would not last 3 months). If Kamry puts this kind of trash out I would not recommend buying anything from them. hopefully they had better design and quality for the ones you purchased.

My first setup came from searching this forum and finding a link to ........'s article on the Ego-V complete with a fasttech link and coupon. Of course, I did my research after and searched everywhere for reviews of fasttech as well as the battery.

I've had problems with the battery and FT has sent me a replacement button free of charge. My tickets get responded to within half a day because there's only an hour time difference. The English is not perfect, but it's comprehensible.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchases, ........ and Fasttech.

Fast tech is going down hill fast.... I have purchased items that showed "ships in 24 hours" They are still unshipped more than a week later... My first 20 orders shipped fast.... The orders in the last 3 weeks have been getting longer and longer handling times. I have batteries ordered over a month ago no tracking no show...

I purchased flashlight from an eBay HK free ship seller and light drivers from FT (same day same time). 8 days ago... The eBay lights are in the states (shipped same day). The FT drivers are paid not shipped. They showed ship in 3 business days.

They may be feeling growing pains but the service is getting worse and worse. My first dozen orders (2 months ago) all shipped within 48hours. They need to fix this or put up realistic handling times. The bad part is when I pay extra for the faster shipping option and the item doesn't even ship for a week or two!

When you have an issue with flashlights go to Budget Light Forum and find the Customer Service forum for Fasttech.
The person there , Jasmine, is very helpful.

Problem is with the shipping service.... They are getting slower and slower.... You never know how long it will take for your order to ship.

There have been several reviews on the k200 that already stated the voltage issues you speak of. Never buy any product just because its listed at a reduced price or even recommended by someone. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

Respectfully as others have stated on here, stop reading/listening to Joe and stop ordering from Fasttech. Problems solved and you've averted that vein in your forehead popping out.
