I'm ready to order 100-300 50W iSticks...a friend of mine from China is calling them to see if she can get the price down a lil more....
Its 12:15 PM in China now so she should be able to get in touch with someone.

Anyone else experiencing a 0.2-0.3 second firing delay on istick 30w and 50w?

fasttech is great if you make sure that everything you want is in stock and shipping doesn't take that long through any of the $2 upgraded mail options.
The problem is when you want something that is restocking in 5 days or 7 days etc... You put all your chosen items in your cart but there a few that ship in 7 days. The order sits and waits till the restocking items show up. When that item shows up they fill your order and off it goes.
If it is a popular item and they only get 500 in and you are number 501 in the queue you sit and wait till the next restocking. Meanwhile if they need something from your order to finish another order and you have items waiting for restocking, they will take the item they need and you will go back in the queue for that item as well.
Only populate you cart and place your order when all items are listed as in stock or ship next day. Otherwise leave them in your Wish List till all they are in stock, then add all to the cart and place your order.
I have bought quite a few things from FT without issue.
If it says Authentic then it is, If it says Style than its a clone. Check the Reviews and mostly the Discussion section for information on the quality of the product.
Here is an Authentic Subtank Mini that is a real Kangertech product for $33.33

Be very very leery of any RDA that has a gold plated deck, it flakes off in tiny pieces which you could inhale by accident, Chinese gold plating leaves a lot to be desired.If you stick with Stainless Steel you will not have that issue. The big problem with a lot of the clones is the machining, the threads can be very rough and there can be a lot of burrs and machine oil on the product. Always totally disassemble all products and a good wash and clean out.
IMHO there is not any reason to buy an authentic item from Fasttech, you only save a few dollars and have to wait for the product. Buy the authentic items from your local B&M.
If you are looking to buy something to try out such as the Magma RDA from Paradigm Modz, you can order an authentic online for $115 from any reputable vape shop or you can pick up a 1:1 clone from FT for $15.79 to see if you like it or not.
It's hit or miss with FT if the product will be great or junk, there are quite a few 1:1 clones there that are actually better than the original but YMMV.

Im measuring by looking at screen counter.
On 20w istick using a dripper at 1.30hm it fires at .1sec on any wattage up to 20 watts
On 30w and 50w istick using a dripper at 1.30hm it fires at .1sec on wattages up to around 14 watts
After that around 15 watts higher it fires around .2-.3 secs
Same thing for subtank mini at .5 ohm on 30w and 50w istick
I'm listening to coil as soon as hear any slight sound.
There is def a slight delay compared to the original istick 20w and newer 30w and 50w isticks after about 15 watts power setting.

Sounds crazy cooter I don't think you can go by the juice cookin as to when it initially fires. But that is still fast

Then must be way voltage is applied when button is pressed
Must ramp power after 15 watts or something cause same clearo or dripper on different device not istick 30 or 50 don't have that extra delay
Btw I'm opposite u leftys I'm right handed but use my trigger finger in the 50w istick and screen Is hidden in my palm. I gotta palm fire, thumb fire or use my left hand if I wanna trigger fire and still see screen.

What wattage and by heats instantly what are u seeing instantly wire going red.
Any difference in instantly using less than 15 watts and more than 15 watts
Nice to see someone with a digital tester on top of device measuring voltage and see if its ramped after about 15 watts

Oh Fasttech- The stuff arrives, and their customer service is solid, but dear god....it takes-so-long. This is only my second time ordering from them, but this order was placed on 1/15 and still hasn't even shipped yet. I ordered a ton of cheap drip tips, and one is always backordered (this happened to me last time too.) So I think the more diverse your order; like drips, the longer it can take.
For a couple of mods or something, it might not be as bad. But just an fyi. It's not just the shipping time, it's the delay to ship. I think I should have emailed them sooner. I think the squeaky wheel gets the grease with them too.

My friend from Asia called them, she can get them a lot less than that....buying a few hundred.
I'm waiting for her to check out the company first.

I've ordered many times from ft. I get in about 6 to 14 days using using epacket or freeshipping.
If stuff says waiting for stock ask to split order they will ship stuff in stock then ship rest when it gets in no extra charge.
There prices year or 2 ago where much better on higher priced items but now there's more competition locally online and can be had for same price or maybe doller or 2 more. But cheaper items acessories drip tips, lanyards, ect where lots shops here markup a lot can be had on ft for fraction of cost. If I can save around 20% or more ill usually order on ft.
Shipping from manufacturers outta china prob gonna use dhl u will get in few days but it prob be around $30 so add about 6 bucks into each one if u order 5. Still under $40 is still a good deal. I paid converted to US dollars $43 locally but that was just battery no charger wire or ego adapter.

I agree, ordering from Fastech is all right. I've ordered several times usually get it in 2 weeks plus they do have excellent customer service. They are in the middle of the Chinese New Year - no shipping. The whole country shuts down for 2 weeks to celebrate. I see that Eleaf has 2 new larger versions of the GS Air tank. Maybe that's the "big news"? Someone could do a mini co-opp with UniversalVap stuff. Their prices are killer. Can't sell in the reg threads tho. 
Bah.I've noticed my subtank has made some scratches on my 30w top cap. I'm not overtightening it or anything. Just enough so It's flush and doesn't wiggle.
I wish they would go with a stainless steel top and bottom. The chrome paint seems to scratch a bit easy on mine. Thankfully its not visible when the tank is on.

Excellent device here, really like it.. My bottom cap is pretty scratched up after its first day out... Also noticed the screen is loose too. Mostly above the buttons. It should hold for quite a while, then I'll just us this adhesive to stick it back on... But hey, with that said, I have no complaints at all...
Battery is still almost full after 12hrs yesterday.. Remember not only do you have twice the mah, but also half the load on each so essentially 4 times more than a single 18650.

I've ran into an unusual behavior on my iStick 50W. I got it yesterday from a local vendor.
A short happend (well, I think it was a short) and it turned itself completely off. No warning about a short circuit. I thought that it was dead. After connecting it to a power supply through an USB cable it turned on and now it works fine.
Is it supposed to do that or do I have a faulty one?
