Lol.. dude, you sound EXACTLY like me.
I bought two Vamos from them. Also, I almost exclusively buy my juice at Mt. Baker Vapor. Just got a 256ml bottle of my fav. I never knew you had to buy $15, all my orders have been $30+As far as batteries are concerned, I've had little problem with them. so far, I've bought four batteries, and no problem. first batch of 2 was before the Lithium battery restriction, second one was just in the beginning of the restriction, they wrapped my batteries in tin foil... still got through customs, and arrived on time. This last order is in the mail as we speak. It has an EGO battery in it, and had to be shipped through Malaysia's shipping for a few pennies more. from what I understand, there's few options now for shipping lithium batteries. Malaysia's tracking is horrible though. from what I understand though, it just passed through a sorting facility (I think). It's not Fasttech I am worried about, it's the shipping company.
My last FastTech order took 23 days to arrive, the order before that 28 days, and the one before that, 31 days.. that seems to be how it always goes for me.
When you are placing an order, if you have items that it says will ship in 5 days, lump them together on one order and complete that order. Group items that say shipping next day together, etc.. don't mix them or you will wait. You can go into existing orders and split them up if you have to but it is way better to just avoid the language issues and pay attention to ship times of items.
I don't order batteries at all.. the grief is not worth it.
I've seen their videos of their e-juice labs.. they are probably done as well as stateside if not better.
I still don't order them, but I have a local vape shop I like and I also DIY.
I have yet to receive anything damaged and I have 7 mods from them.
Everything I have received to date is authentic and good quality.
Right now I have three VTR's on order.. already have one.. but I'm stockpiling hardware in case our wonderful government tries to regulate my life just a little bit more than they already do. I'll just store them in the cabinet over the freezer where I keep the gallons of nicotine.
I like them.. you would laugh if you knew how much I spend there.. but they haven't cheated me yet.

Hahaha, that's awesome!! I have started buying 50ml's instead of 30's from MBV because they just don't last lying enough and I can't decide which one is my favorite for the 256ml bottle. I hope your Fasttech order gets there via Malaysia. I have been buying my batteries on eBay since my order was sent back and I have been having pretty good luck with it so far. Usually paying around $7 a piece for MNKE 18650
I ordered from there and got my package in 2 weeks. I know that's not typical from what I've heard, but that is my only purchase from there so far and I was very happy with my choice. 101vape.com is in the US and have good prices as well, not AS inexpensive, but still less than most.
FT is cheap and takes FOREVER. Quality on mods is good if you read reviews to make choices, wouldn't buy ejuice from them though IMO or Batteries.
I reccieved my three week old order today. Everything is as expected.
Can't beat the quality (I try to buy authentic items only). Can't best the price.
Shipping however? Well...

Fasttech can be very good for the money If you spend time looking for the good opportunities, with good ratings. Most of which you can hear about outside of fasttech. The nemesis and m16 are outstanding for example. The chi-you I received was total garbage, use it 5 minutes and throw it in the dump type garbage.
Never tried their juices but heard stories about their Hangsen, people were saying it was not real hangsen but a copy...
And yes, don't be in a hurry.

Actually, I worry less about eliquids made in Chinese controlled and regulated factories than by some of our "mom and pop" vendors. I have seen pictures of dog hair swimming in a bottle of a very well-respected vendor's eliquid. Didn't bother me all that much--I like dogs.
I have Maltese and they aren't supposed to shed, but I have found both dog and cat (I have one of those too) hairs in my mouth from time to time, so doesn't worry me all that much.
I would be more worried about not so good chemical stuff turning up in e-juice. You are right, of course, that we can't know for sure about the mom and pop folks here, but IMHO, the Chinese don't have a very good record when it comes to things that we (or our pets) can safely ingest.Fasttech has a painless check out process. That's about the best experience I have had with them
Well, I go through about 150-200ml/month on average. For the last 5 months, I have been buying the 50ml bottles, and almost every order had at least one Guava 50ml bottle. I saved most of them, but wife threw them out one day so I am now down to like 6 50ml bottles. Why am I telling you this? Because if you save your old bottles, when you find your ADV, you can buy that 256ml and refill the old ones. I like to half-mix a fruity type blend when I ordered, so, as an example, I would buy one guava, one banana, and one strawberry, when the tank was half down, I would refill with a different flavor. It keeps the flavor always just a bit different from tank to tank, and doesn't feel stale. This last order, I am trying something new. I bought the 256ml guava, but bought the FLAVORING of banana, Blueberry, and strawberry. Going to see how that works.
Ebay may be the next option for buying 18650's. only concern I have, is if it's a fraudulent battery. It's so easy to re-wrap an el cheapo, and putting that battery in my experimental sub-ohm build, I want to be confident that I'm not holding a pipe bomb.
And an update on the FAsttech, is it's been handed over to USPS in Malaysia... so, now I use USPS tracking. took two weeks for that to happen, so it's still taking a while, but I'm a bit more confident.

The problem is that we are dealing with a global economy--everything is sourced from somewhere... Most of the nicotine used in our eliquids is made in China and India. The flavorings are imported from literally all over the world. So even if the juice is "made in the USA," it's really only mixed in the USA--from mostly foreign ingredients.
Anyway. I've read many reports from ECF members (whom I trust) about eliquid factories in China and how they are run. Those people visited China and toured the factories--and posted detailed reports and photographs. I'm not worried. I'm not too worried about dog hair either--it's still better than smoking.
ETA: When I started vaping, only Chinese juices were available. Never had a problem. Hundreds of thousands of vapers all over the world have been using Chinese eliquids daily since 2006--without an incident.

Ordered drip tips, DCT tanks, and the iTaste SVD from them. Superb quality, just like how you'd see them in stores. If you don't mind the wait from the long shipping, very good place to buy supplies.

That's a good idea with keeping the old bottles, I am going to have to start doing that. I have been bouncing back and forth between Faux Hawk, Pear and Rainbow Sherbert. My brother got the Guava on his last order and I really dug it and probably going grab a 50 of that on my next order. Let me know how that flavoring concentrate thing goes, that's an interesting idea and I would consider doing that. I have a neighbor that picked up a 50 of unflavored mixed 80 VG 20 PG @ 18 mg and he got a couple of flavoring concentrates to just kill the pepper taste of the nic.
I have going to strictly one battery guy on eBay, Fat Daddy Vapes, and have yet find a pipe bomb but that's good looking out!
Hopefully your Fasttech order will get here by the summer solstice!
You guys could try Cigabuy sometime. Bought from them twice. Excellent experience!
Bro, they basically sell eGo batts and... And... And... Well, vibrators...
What am I looking at?
