My general advice on fasttech is do your research. There are good products on there and some really really bad products on there.

Pay attention to the manufacturer and look for reviews on that exact product from that manufacturer. Usually you will find a review or something showing the flaws with it that way.

Last suggestion is only buy things that ship immediately. If it says ships in 7 days you will mostly be waiting a looonnnngggg time to ever see that.

The a6 from fasttech is easy to modify for bottom feed. It will also fit a regular grand.

Sent from my SM-N900T

I liked the looks of the A6 mini, but after reading it was chrome plated, (including the posts), I instantly said no way... It would've been so easy to put SS posts in it and still could've sold it for less than $8... As far as quality of products they sell, as a few have mentioned, some good and some bad... Mostly bad though...

I stopped getting stuff out of FT, there are some "ok" devices (a couple nimby clones come to mind, surprisingly all SS) but everything else can be a real dart board...since I've gone to Ebay and started ordering the Hcigar and Ehpro stuff (sure double the price, so around the $20 - $30 mark, shipped...and you'll actually get it in days instead of weeks) there really is no comparison...as far as I'm concerned a lot of the FT stuff isn't even worth experimenting with...but that is totally my opinion and not to be relied upon :p

I have ordered from Fasttech since I first started vaping over a year ago and I have been pleased with everything I have gotten. It has gotten so it takes a whole lot longer to get than when I first started ordering from them but it doesn't matter to me if it saves that much money. Good luck to you and happy vaping. :)

fasttech was good 6 month to a year ago. Now with all the clone makers like infinite, ehpro, hcigar etc. fasttech clones just don't cut the mustard. I pretty much got all my beginner equipment there and a lot of it was hit or miss. The only things I still use are the drip tips and even then not so much. As quigs said, the other clone manufacturers put out pretty decent stuff for the price. My no logo copper nemesis clone has less vdrop then my friends authentic. So just read up on the item, vaping with twisted 420 has a lot of clone reviews. I would hit up ebay, it's full of this kind of stuff.

I love the ceramic-tipped tweezers I purchased from Fasttech. Great for compressing a perfect coil. Just squeeze a little pressure on the newly built coil, hit the fire button and it compresses into a tight coil instantly(if you do it right:)). Alas, I see Lightning Vapes and probably other US suppliers are selling them now, so no need to wait the month or so for shipping from China anymore.
That said, the tweezers are still half the price plus free shipping from Fasttech.

You can get ceramic tipped tweezers? wouldn't that be handy squishing the ol' micro coils...thanks Bushmaster!

Another nice aspect of these tweezers is that they come down to almost a needle tip making it often much easier to grasp a tiny wisp of the new wick and pull it through the coil.
