fasttech

[v1k1ng1001]

I've had good luck with fasttech and Focal Ecig.

With fasttech you can generally expect 2+ weeks to your door, if the items are ready to ship--no more than 4 weeks (batteries being the exception).

Read the reviews! Read the Forum discussions! There are some real gems on fasttech and there are some real lemons. The early adapters and FT gurus will let you know which is which if you're patient enough to read through the forums and reviews.

Also note that somtimes you can find the same price or a close-enough price on an item from a U.S. vendor if you shop around a bit--e.g. you can find the MVP for $40 or even less and have it in 3-4 days instead of waiting 3 weeks.

I just placed my first order($17) Wed@ 8pm est, just checked my status and it says shipped Thur.@ 10:06 am. Thats fast, ordered and 14hrs later it was shipped. I paid the extra 30¢ for USPS Express ePacket via China Post, what ever that is.

I ordered 4 kanger 1.6ml clears, wonder if they'll be real Kanger or clone. Photo it looked like they was etched kanger.

Good thing about FT is if they say the item is genuine, you can be pretty sure it is. If it was stated as Kanger 'style' or similar, the item will be a copy or clone.

With Fasttech, you get what you put in in regard to your time and effort. Look at the pictures - carefully. Look at the specs - carefully. Read the discussions - carefully. If you're willing to scrutinize your options and "do the research," (by taking advantage of all of those things listed on the site), you can pick up some *fantastic* deals. If you just go on the site and order whatever looks good at a glance, you will get the mixed bag experience many complain about. Everything I've ordered from Fasttech has been equal to or better than I expected, but there are certain things I don't order from them... Batteries (onboard or otherwise - partly because it slows the shipping down exponentially, partly because the one thing I want to make sure are genuine are my batteries), anything that looks poorly machined (if it looks like crap, it's probably crap), anything that has nothing substantial in the reviews or discussions (I don't have the money to take a chance on something that no one else has seen in person yet). By shopping carefully, I've picked up some *very* nice drippers, drip tips, tanks etc whose performance is equal to the originals.

I ordered a SmokTech SID from them a couple weeks ago. Tracking shows it was delivered yesterday, but I didn't get it yet. Going to check again today. :B Unfortunately I get my mail sent to my parents' house since I don't really trust the people around my apartment complex and I don't have a locking mailbox.

My advice when ordering from FastTech is to just forget that you ordered it and it will come. Though that's much easier said than done!

It's useful to read the community / customer forum section of Fasttech. I've ordered several times with no problems other than the long wait. Of particular interest on the site are the products marked "1:1 clone" in the description. These 1:1 are often manufactured by Infinite, or whoever supplies Infinite, and are generally top notch clones.

I got the rainbow nemisis and a kick today and just got it working, but will need to upgrade the spring to magnets...it works fine. Took 9 days from China to Alabama.

My only reason for not ordering from them is that returns would take forever. Another thought that crossed my mind was the security of my bank account. I guess I figure it's worth a couple bucks to buy in the US.

For those Canadians who use Fasttech.
If you just go normal free shipping, your package will land in Mississauga, better for easterners. If you use the epacket for the extra 2 bucks your package lands in Richmond. Living in BC it shaves a week in shipping time and IMO the Richmond customs is faster than the Mississauga. My last FT package took 2 weeks to hit my mailbox using the epacket.

Ft has a return base in Miami. I had bought a keyboard that didn't work well, they sent me a rma and I sent it there. As soon as they received the tracking my acct was credited with a gift cert. There was a bit of a problem explaining it to a new cust svc person but Sufie who is a wonder took care of it.

I got an alert saying someone. On an email app was trying to get into my email i forgot what city tho and dont have the alert email anymore

 

[Frankie Jaime]

The passthrough i ordered said it shipped on the 15th of july so im hoping i get it next week. If so im placing an order for a kayfun and an sentinel M16 mod

I've done multiple orders from fasttech. Never had any problems, fastest I've ever gotten an order was 10 days. Just be careful what you buy, about half the stuff is junk

It really is hit or miss. Some of it performs almost as well or as well as the originals. With a decent build quality. The other stuff just has an awful build quality, but it was hard to be up set at a low build quality piece when I paid practically nothing for it.

Word. Just got a bad ... magma clone from them and my favorite is the hand blown muffler tips with the metal base for like $2 each

Very good to know. I ordered from FT on 6/24. I finally got shipped status on 7/21. Definitely will pay the couple extra bucks next time.

probably should make a new thread but try here first.

Ordered from fastech Wed, thur status says "shipped fully". Today I checked tracking and the USPS tracking site pops ups saying "NOT FOUND". I take it until my package reaches the US, I will not have any tracking info, is that right?

It was ship via "USPS Express ePacket via China Post".

Get a paypal account, add ur credit card to your paypal account. Then when you pay with paypal fasttech does not get your credit card number, paypal does not give out your credit card number. I think this is how it works, call paypal and double check to make sure this is right.

I just got my first order from them a couple days ago. I have no complaints, the fact that they take a picture of your package before they ship it is a nice touch too. Overall though, when it comes to most products I would rather spend a couple extra bucks to buy from US sellers simply because of shipping time.
