If I'm not mistaken, most of ecigs are manufactured in China. I've never bought anything off Alibaba, so I can't attest to anything on that front. Personally, the site is just to much. Can't really browse unless you know exactly what you are looking for. Obviously, you need to be sure you can confirm the thread sizes on what you buy.

Since all ego's are made there, the only limitation used to be the shipping cost. One had to make a big enough order to make it worth it, then it was fine. My first ego order was from bestecig in China and everything arrived in good shape and worked well. Warranty replacements are more difficult, of course, as many Chinese vendors want to ship them with your next order.

Fasttech changed the game recently as they offer wholesale prices and free shipping with no minimum quantities. Most of what they sell is the same as what many retailers are buying and reselling, and most people I've read about are happy with their products. If I was going to get an ego kit, I'd order it from them in a heartbeat. If there's a concern with warranty, double up your order - it's still cheap and you'll have backups!

I have buy few stuf (too much few) since i start vaping, my ego twist is original joyetech and my vivi novas are original vision, i took a gamble ordered a couple of vivi novas and a twist for a very low price, recived yesturday, the vivi novas not sure why they are not already in the trash can the first one i try was leaking on the bottom cap were meet the plastic tube, the second vivi nova i opened eeehh I think they forgot to finish the build, the ego twist was supouse to be the metal or stainless color, and have a very ugly yellowish tint comparing with oem joye twist, the twist bottom dial is so loose that change position by its own and the leds on the firing button looks like a stupid red and blue leds from those fleemarket toys.. And those products are branded MICROCIG from ecigforever.com, the sample bottle of juice i ordered came with the cap a bit loose and the juice was all over the package.

They are some well known chinese vendors, just go with anyone reviewed here with good feedback. Dont go with a company you can find any feedback..

Looks like fasttech is a very good site to order. I have 2 orders in my way and lots of people here are very happy with them..

Whatever you do dont buy any c r a p MICROCIG branded product.

Just received an "ego" kit from fastech. Not quite the same as my state side ego but the build and quality seem on par. Time will tell on durability. I will buy from them again. Be really really careful that what you order is what you want. Many things look the same as we are used to but are different and the product description is often pretty useless.

Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail if you want JoyeTech gear but realize they are expensive. Fasttech has GREAT prices BUT realize some of their gear are knockoffs. Have a few friends that ordered Fasttech eGos and are very happy. One was DOA and the Vendor replaced with no questions asked.

Never buy from China!!!! 9 times out of 10 they are fakes and poorly constructed. The shipping will take 2-3 weeks, and the product you get will be garbage and most likely not work properly. You get what you pay for, and when it comes to vaping, dont be cheap! You can try cheap juices, but your equipment should be reliable and well made, so you can fully enjoy the experience. The batteries from China arent genuine and are the ones you hear about on the news that blew up when charging or caught fire.

Also, they have no quality control, so they can use cheap parts. They also have ZERO responsibility to give you a refund, because they are overseas. I suggest ordering from American Vendors!

I guess you don't realize that vaping was INVENTED in China. I guess you don't realize that 90% of all PV's and 100% of the atomizers, cartomizers and clearos are made in China. I guess you don't realize that 90% of all eliquid used worldwide is made in China. My shipping from China almost always took 4 DAYS, never longer than 6. (EMS shipping, extra $6.00)

Try educating yourself before slinging that BS.

Where do you think your US vendor gets his supplies? From China that's where! And, as far as the shipping goes, the longest I've ever had something take is 11 days and that was with a 2 day screwup with the local PO not delivering the package to my door...
