Consider slowing your Fasttech roll

[Vapor Vinny]

It depends on the logic of the argument, if you are saying pay a premium for genuine branded goods that is one thing, but saying don't buy the knock offs from fasttech for a dollar buy them from a local vendor for five dollars is a different thing.

I have a Miele washing machine as I know it is German engineered and comes with a 10 year warranty as standard, it comes at a price and I am happy to pay for quality. However, when most of the eCig stuff is Chinese made I see no issue with buying the same thing direct rather than buy it from a local company who are just marking it up 300% and then charging me to deliver it.

Strange logic. Here's "Logic". If I pay $8 for 2 ego batteries, that I'm very pleased with, but spend another $25 on vivi novas and clearos that are ALL complete crap and unusable, then it's like I spent $32 for 2 ego batteries. Or, if you like, I only spent $8 and got ripped off from the rest.

I'm saying you probably shouldn't buy them from anywhere. One thing FT has been good for for me is that I can now tell which vendor are selling the crap, wherever it comes from.

 

[Vapor Vinny]

Just blatant speculation, but perhaps FastTech is buying batches of products rejected by the manufacturers' quality control process and selling them dirt cheap, knowing that a certain fraction of the products will prove to be defective. However, since they're getting the QC rejects so cheaply, the cost of dealing with returns is such that selling the questionable products remains profitable.

Again, it's just blatant speculation but it could explain why FastTech has an (anecdotally) unusual DOA rate.

Maybe. I do wonder where these cartomizers come from. I've never seen them anywhere else, and I'd love for them to work well because they're a bit cheaper than what I'm buying. So far, I'm using one, and it's flooding a bit. The "holes" on this thing, and there are 2 of them, seem to big. Don't rush out and buy them in bulk.

I am 6 from 6 on clearo's so far so vs UK prices I am $50 up. If only 1 in 2 work I am still in profit.

I'm on team saveabuck. . If that makes me a "fan girl", I'll gladly embrace it.

That makes you cheap, and a fan girl. God speed, and see at the Dollar Tree.

That's just it. We do know. Or we can know. If threads like this one weren't hijacked by fan boys.

Yeah, I am sorry VV.. looks like it's got a bad case of dirt smudges from them.. Thing is, I wanted my tank to work. I drip.. it was to be "all that" for the times I went out.

The little mini rba they sent.. it takes less than my cartos, 3 drops.. expect to get a few of those in your throat, trying to drip from it, and the top piece wobbles so bad, I had to replace it with an acrylic tip! so there went both of those! The juice? sad.. the whole thing out if that order I could use, the 2 1300mah ego's I picked up, work, but I have to watch the button, or it will just keep burning things up.. feels like I am a dang crack head at times.

Should I have to go thru this? Yeah they are cheap.. but here is the thing: I expect them to at least do what they were intended for.

If I have to fix or find a way around something to get it to work.. then no. I want quality. Will limp till I can afford better and it will not be ft.

Fan boys and girls can just keep being suck ups! At least keep it real.. Ahh well.. At least you tried..

Have you tried upping your NIC? It might help

Uping my nic?? lmao omg!! no. I actually lowered it and it is much better but not their juice. I refuse to drip something that smells like dirty socks..

Will send ya the 3 bottles cod if you want them, but no. I can make better juice than that, and I have.

That makes you cheap, and a fan girl. God speed, and see at the Dollar Tree.

That VV.. Priceless.

Each PERSON need to makeup their own mind!!!!!!!!!! Who they want to buy from and if it worth it !!!!

The ONLY thing that IS helpful.
IS if people listed WHAT they bought and IF it worked or not.
How long did it take?
If their was a problem did they fix the problem or tell you to take a hike?
Are thier any CE4's that work from anybody really?

That is useful information.

Arguing over whether or not to buy from china or hong kong or joe sho is not helpfull!

And just a note, for those who are being "cheap" or looking to save money. I'm not knocking you at all. Believe me, I've spent more time than most learning to vape the best, at the most cost efficient. And so, and you should really look into it, consider making your own box mod using rechargeable AAA batteries. You can build it for less than $15 and it will out vape most anything you can buy (I'll put mine up against any model). The batteries are cheaper, last longer and can be bought anywhere. And did I mention it lasts all day on a charge and is a thousand times safer than placing a lithium ion battery against your lips?

I vape for about $10 a week. I vape all day and was a pack and half a day smoker.

What you're saying is the point of this thread. No one is saying don't buy. I'm saying "slow your roll". Read some reviews, learn what sucks and what doesn't, and make an educated decision. The tone of this board for the past month has been Fasttech is great...buy buy buy. Someone needs to put it in proper perspective.

WHy on earth would you buy cheap made china juice if you make your own? Caught again!!!!!!!!!!

BS meter once again!!!!!!!

Being cost conscious makes me cheap? Lol. I appreciate quality.. and I'll pay for quality. What i won't do, (as others have mentioned) is pay 5 bucks for something I can get for a dollar.

 

[pcrdude]

Vapor Vinny, I don't really understand why it matters to you if someone else buys fromm FT.... The more people that do, will then report here (hopefully without whining), and we will get a feel for if FT is worth the discounted price or not.

If YOU don't buy from there, why does it matter to you?

This may sound dumb but I won't order from a vendor if their website looks like garbage or is difficult to navigate. I think it says a lot about a company's product when everything is clear and concise and easier for the customer. I realize that fasttech is in China, and there's a bit of a language barrier there, but one look at their site and knowing how far away it is if something got messed up or I wasn't satisfied was enough to send me running. I have stuck to this rule when buying online and have yet to have a bad experience. I know most of you have been happy with your Fasttech experiences and I'm not doubting they sell some good stuff, I just thought I'd share my approach. It seems to be working.

Huh?

To me, FT's site is very easy to navigate, laid out well and great looking.

Also, they have free return shipping, usually a 45 day return policy with no questions asked.

I love me some Fasttech.

Buying a cheap product for less than someone else doesn't make the product not cheap.

I bought my girlfriend a cubic zirconia ring. She frowned. I explained that it was only 25% the price of the diamond ring. She doesn't get it. That chick is whack.

 

[e-pipeman]

Got my backup Vamo from FT and it's great - just as good as the one I got from a UK supplier. I have other items on order - if any are poor I will mention it but I am confident that they won't be.

that carto is what came in my tanks...those "holes" are super weird to me...not gonna lie....i am a little afraid of what the filler is (but maybe i should be more curious about what any carto filler is).
i haven't really used them...i think i tried one but it was really low resistance....they are in my "in case of emergency" pile

p.s. the price on those cartos isn't that much less than what i pay for ikenvapes...or any other carto really

but pushing products from somewhere is?


Thought it was ok to complain on what did not work, instead I get shown attimizers I do not want and a suggestion to up my nic intake?? lmao.. wow..

that is what I see happening in this thread.. ah well where is that 21 gun salute?

Glad you took the time to read my post(s).

Where do I say do not buy from them? I'm pretty sure plenty of folks appreciate my point of view on this particular topic.

Really man? I don't know, maybe what you posted sounded good in your head...but reading it on the computer screen...You can't be happy with it.
