Ordered 3 each of 2 different flashlights (1 is SS type I want to mod with..) on 25 March from fasttech.
Received conformation on the 29th and today, April 8, I have those SS lights. The other lights are on back order, which I new about before buying.
For less than $10 each, these SS lights are Great and heavy! Should work good for modding!

I order from Janty Europe regularly which ships from France using DHL. It always amazes me that my package gets to my door in the US in 3 - 4 days. And DHL's phone customer service personnel are the most helpful and nicest customer service personnel I have ever encountered.

Lol thats faster then with DHL from France to Belgium. And faster then what I ordered last week from Germany. One thing I also learned in the EU is, declare the real value of the product. And do not have "gift" on it to avoid extra taxes. If it does not have gift on it, it will clear customs alot faster if the package is coming from outside of the EU. We do have an above 125 euro you need to pay import tax. If you receive a big package with 5$ contents you will get into problems. I rather have my stuff cleared asap and pay perhaps the little extra then going through the pain of getting something cleared by customs

My $8 genny from fasttech got here today. Got to say, I am really REALLY impressed! It's a did clone. It comes fully setup with a wick and wire and the coil meters 1.2 But the coil is rather loose around the wick and that won't do.

It comes with a clear drip tip and the air hole lines up perfectly with the wick when the top cap is screwed on! The wrap looks a little loose in places and I have no idea how they got the resistance so low because there's 6 wraps! Must have used 28g, the wick is a bit on the skinny side.

I love the pos post thumb screw, it's easy to get hold of and tighten down. I haven't put juice in it or tried the coil to see how it lights up yet, I just got it out of the package.

I felt kinda silly ordering it. I have several highend rbas including 2 dids from mmv. But for a $8 and some change, I couldn't resist. It looked so nice in the picture and it looks every bit as nice in person. I can't wait to try it out.

I don't feel silly now. I may just order a couple more :2cool:

3 minutes later: With a little adjusting, the coil lite up pretty good.. then I popped it :(

5 minutes later: I took off the ruined coil. The wick was very tight in the wick hole so I took it out and rolled it tighter so it fits nice and easy in the hole. I wrapped it with 28g, 6/7 wraps and glowed the coils. Love it! The combo of the skinny wick and lots of wraps makes thick vapor and great flavor right off the bat. Even with the tiny air hole, super smooth draw, not too tight and not too airy.

Love love love that the air hole lines up with the wick and the top cap is snug and secure. It looks fantastic. Got it on the EA with a coil resistance of .9

Awesome buy! I used the code tenoff and the total was like $8, I added a shipping option and the total was still less than $9 Well worth the wait! :D

I'm sitting here looking at it and then looking at the expensive devices and going Hmmmm :glare:

Came home from work and little package from Hong Kong was waiting in the mail. Got it, cleaned it, inspected it, ended up reaming 1.3mm air hole, 1mm is too small for me. Its chromed brass, and the tank is super thin plastic. Air hole lines up but not fully seats. Drip tip.....works. I am concerned about the tank. My questionable juices didn't crack my poly tanks, but this tank flat out sucks. Will be looking for replacements asap. I had 1 AGA-T, now I have 2 AGA-Ts and 2 chobras. Now I cant decide what juice to put in the tanks.

My first experience with them. They got my package to the USA pretty quickly...the problem is USPS. I ordered it on 3/27, got to the SFO on 4/2 and seems to be stuck. Im assuming its customs but not sure.

Did you ever receive your item? Mine has been stuck in SF since May 10. Eleven days and counting.

I've never ordered from China before, mostly because my Paypal account was in mothballs. I just got that squared away and am planning to place an order. I'm interested in inexpensive eGo starter kits like this one:

EGO-T 650mah Battery With CE4 Cartomizer Express Kit - Ocean Vapor

I have no loyalty to to any vendor there. I would like to have several simple starter kits on-hand that I could provide to people that are considering the switch.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Especially where I could get the most bang for the buck.
