I don't have the patience for them. They also mainly sell knockoff China stuff that I can't stand (Which is why they're so cheap... check out the brand names on their merchandise. Don't see any? It's because it's all knockoffs of the real stuff). Tried the knockoff CE4 clearomizers and HATE them. The ohms vary from one to the next and most don't even hit a 3ohm rating even though they claim they go up to 3.5ohms on the site. They taste burnt and give a super harsh TH once you start to get halfway through the juice in them, requiring you constantly re-adjust your wattage/voltage until you simply can't stand the taste/TH any more and sadly empty your tank. Plus, their life span sucks... you're lucky if one lasts you a week. Just say no to fasttech, and China crap in general. E-cigs are a huge market that can help give a lot of people jobs in the U.S. that sorely need them, and are a promising new business for aspiring small business owners as well. There's no reason to cheap out and go China on everything right down to the vendor when you know you're not going to have any hope of decent warranty coverage/cheap shipping for warrantied repairs/replacements, have to wait a month to get a new shipment, AND you're never sure if the item you receive is going to work as it should because China doesn't seem to get the concept of quality assurance. Why encourage them when they're a major reason for the recession in the U.S. and on top of that just generally suck at manufacturing?

Should also mention they're quite adept at slightly changing the brand names you DO see on their site so they're not breaking any copyright laws. Like their supposed Lavatubes are spelled instead as "Lava Tube". As for the Innoken debate, they ARE rip offs because they spell Innoken as "Innokin". Pay attention people... this is how you get ripped off.

I checked the innokin site and i quote from their news:
"We have received continuous feedback from customers that website Fast Tech is selling our products at much lower prices than that we recommended"
After reading that part it seems(IMHO) that not customers but resellers are the ones complaining, of course this is pure speculation on my part, but customers would be asking if they are real not if the price is lower than MSRP...

I don't have the patience for them. They also mainly sell knockoff China stuff that I can't stand (Which is why they're so cheap... check out the brand names on their merchandise. Don't see any?

With all due respect, your feelings are misplaced. In between the knockoffs they sell, like the CE4, CE5 and a plethora of batteries, atomizers, knock off dripers they also sell lots of original things, the MVP's that people already got are authentic, i bought liqua and they're authentic, panasonic batteries and the list goes on.
About warranties and such, if you take your time to look through the pages on this very thread and other threads on the forum and all over the internet, Fasttech is praised by almost every customer because they stand behind what they sell, lots of people had problems with their orders and after talking with fasttech's CS, fasttech sent new orders to them for no charge at all.

Last but not least, the problem with the quality of a huge percentage of things from china is something we've all "made our peace" with. In the end it falls on us as customers to educate ourselves and learn to separate the good from the bad things they sell.
Although i'm kinda with you on that one, it would be nice they started to worry about QC but if it means a huge boost on prices i don't know if i would enjoy that :p

People can decide if they are happy or not with what they buy as they see fit.

I do appreciate fasttech for the access to the kamry products like the X6,k100,etc and a mech is a mech,it works out of the box or it needs modding.

They have some vivis labeled "authentic" and others not,I take that to mean the unlabeled ones are knockoffs and the labeled ones might just be real,for $6 it might be worth the risk.

The price of the MVP really isnt much cheaper than can be found elsewhere atm and people who have got them seem happy so my gut says they are probably real,maybe fasttech picked them up further down the distribution line and innokin just dont like that.

There is no debate that I'm aware of,just a disscusion.:)

I am intrigued about this company. I am in the mood ( ;) ) to stock up on stainless EVODs, and the prices there can't be beat.

I am worried about the quality at such a low price. In addition, they have eGo style KO batteries at really good prices as well. I prefer the un-regulated eGos batts, so I am thinking of getting some of those as well.

Does anyone have experience with the 650 and 1100 KO batts, and are the EVODs from there working well for you?

I am also considering buying some starter kits to offer for resale to a few friends.........

I had a poorly manufactured vivi nova head from them that nearly ruined a pv, too many wick slots cut into it. They sent me some extra heads and a whole new vivi nova to make up for it.

You do realize, don't you, that almost ALL Ecigs/tanks that you buy in the USA, is in Fact made in China?? The Vendors that sell in USA...you don't think that they make their Products that they sell, do you? There are very few USA made Ecig products. By buying from FT...alls you're doing is cutting out the Middle Man (meaning the Vendors in the USA) and buying straight from the supplier. So just about everything you own, Ecig related, has in fact been made in China...you just paid the Vendors you bought your stuff from, extra money to go through the ordering process from China.

That's like saying You buy all your household stuff at Walmart..because the stores you shop at are in USA...you buy there because you only want USA products...everyone knows they MIGHT sell, maybe 1% of USA made products.

Fasttech is definitely my go-to. I've ordered vaping and non vaping stuff from them and have yet to be disappointed in price point, customer service or shipping. My deliveries take between 10 - 14 days with the bulk of the days being spent in San Francisco... I'd recommend them with no reservation! Where else can you get an 8 pack of replacement fusion proglide blades for about 12 bucks? The same product is 20 bucks more in my local store...

I have placed several order with fasttech and been very happy. Have gotten a MVP, a few bottles or liqua, and am ego starter kit for a cousin and cant beet the price, and shipping only takes 8-10 business days to me.

Had no idea they had fusion proglide blades! Will be adding that to my next order, and look at their non ecig stuff.

Some of their stuff are obviously fakes. But it's not accurate to claim China crap when it's almost all China crap. The key is to know what are and aren't good. All eGo batteries are not Joyetech, but all the non-Joye eGos are not are junk.
Since it's all China you can very easily get an unbranded run made at the same factory with the same parts. Likewise you can also get a very similar looking product made on the same machines with the same patterns out of substandard parts.

What are and aren't fakes?
I can tell their eGos aren't Joyetech. I have no idea if they are bad fakes or not.
I've heard and can see their Vivi Novas aren't Visions and have heard they are bad.
Are their Vamos fake? I've heard they are good. Is there even such a thing as a fake Vamo or is it like an open sourced plan that is shared with all the Chinese companies?

Hi pcrdude,
Since the shipping is free, why would anybody want to stock-up without trying first? Honestly, half this forum is about things not working or not working well. I made that mistake almost a year ago, my first 5 pack of clearomizers and not a one could hold liquid.
