I've run the whole gambit with fasttech. Pre-Orders, Ships in ## days, In Stock, Authentic and Styled.
I only buy authentic coils, no if's ands or buts about it.
Every item I get I look over as soon as I get it. If something is bad, take a pick of the package, the packing slip and every item in the package and send it to them with your complaint in a ticket and explain what is wrong. Immediately.

I use fasttech almost exclusively from China, to me they are the most organized and reliable vendor and usually have many things in stock. Unless it's DIY stuff or something I want/need immediately, I will often use FT for many things. I have learned to expect a wait and I've only ever had one item be "out of stock" and they sent the rest of my order then shipped the rest the next day, actually. They really do try (IMHO) to be user friendly and offer some of the best (Chinese) customer service around. They fully disclose clones and authentic, and it's been accurate for me.

I have also used 3FVape with success, and they do offer a good selection as well.

I used gearbest-- once. I won't go into my rant about them (and, it was partially my fault) but I will NOT be using them again, their TOS do not work (for me).. I've heard decent things about 2Fdeal, but I haven't actually used them. I would run from Vapsourcing like a kid runs from a rabid raccoon, but again, that is only MY assessment of them, I know folks have used them with some success and they do have a pretty wide selection.

FT also offers incentives like bonus points, they keep all your orders on file in case you need something again, and etc. I also like that there are message boards where you can look at say, clones, and get good feedback on them and etc.

Really, FT has NEVER not delivered on an order, and usually my arrival time is less than 3 weeks (as long as it's not Chinese New year or something.) Usually you can find a discount code somewhere on ECF for them as well.

I would rate FT as my number one Vendor for China and I hope it stays that way. :)

I like Fasttech. I have purchased authentic parts and they are authentic. I have also purchased cloned parts and they have worked fine. They are clearly labeled. If the part is in stock, they ship pretty quick but many times you think it is in stock and it's not so you have to wait. If time is not super pressing, I think they are a solid choice.

I do not like Gearbest. I believe that they sold me 2 mods labeled authentic and I did not think they were plus some of my items arrived broken so I never ordered from them again.

I have heard good things about 3fvape. Have not ordered from them yet.

I've also ordered from www.efun.top but as of late their website has been down. They only get a small stock of certain items but they have good prices and have a lot of giveaways/contests.

Yup. If you have to purchase from China Fasttech is the way to go. Ive found them to be better in every area vs the other big China websites. I do not recommend Gearbest or HotECig due to due to non existent customer service and poor QC. Ive had to sic PayPal on both of them to get problems resolved. Ive never had to go there with FastTech.

I read somewhere that you should always choose an e-packet option for shipping. It tends to cost an extra $.50 - $2.00; never more than a nominal fee. Anyway, I can't swear it helps since I've always used it, but I get 'in stock' items in about 2 weeks, not the 4 - 6 weeks others have mentioned.

Sorry for the double-post, but I forgot to add a warning about the styled/authentic. Authentic doesn't always mean authentically from the original manufacturer. It can mean "authentically from a named manufacturer". Say you're buying a Kayfun 5, the original by Svoemesto:

Authentic Kayfun 5 - This would be Svoemesto's K5, if Fastech actually carried it
Kayfun 5 Styled - A clone by whoever
Authentic QWL Kayfun 5 - A clone by QWL

I don't think they try to mislead anyone; they've just got a quirky grasp of the language. As long as you understand the code you'll get what you expect.

I used 3Fvape 6 times and really like them. They ship fast... unfortunately USPS is holding those shipments very long... my last package took only 9 days to reach Chicago but to get to my destination that is 50 miles from Chicago it took them 7 days...:w00t:

This thread got me interested in taking a look at them.
I have been thinking about a Smok AL85 which apparently is no longer in production. Last night the price was $34 which is a good deal. Registered on the site this morning and the price increased 50% overnight. Ok, I get the supply demand relationship.
Purchased from a domestic US site for $8 less.
Then took a look at the Pico swag. Fast tech was higher by $7 as compared to my regular internet shop.
Finally looked some coils for my I joy captain.
Exactly the same price as my regular shop.

Maybe I will find a better deal in the future. Not today though.

If you don't mind waiting, and depending on what you're looking for, FastTech is a great option. I had a good sized order with FastTech last Friday really late at night, today they uploaded the picture of the package with the shipping label. Not too bad for a huge business like theirs.

i have ordered from 3fvape and heaven gifts but FT gets 98% of my business (not ever for diy supplies though... always from the UK for those). any delays with shipping are generally on this end with the royal mail. e-packet is always the way to go, for me at least.

Well I ordered from fastech last night at 1:26am, I originally was looking for the HOGv2 but I couldn't find it so I ordered the Hydra box mod which is a clone of a clone. And I'm talking to a local modder to do the cumstom work I need to the mod. All done I'll probably be in the mod about $80-90. Which I will be very happy with.
