Greetings from HK and want to know which is the winner?

[brunoearth]

Hello, guys.
Have been in ECF for 2 weeks, and it's great. Already knew some nice guys here who are really helpful!
As we all known that there are many terrific online vendors like Fasttech and Cigabuy... As a "vaper" from HK, this is 100% good news, because i always can get what I ordered in 1 week or less.
But still, there must be a lot of options for you American guys. You could buy from the local store and the made-in-usa stuffs to save the long time delivery.
So may I know where and how did you buy your kit? Online or Offline? Chinese or Made-in-USA?

All of the above

You do know that you are making some of us cuss you because of the week or less comment about fasttech don't you?

Last fasttech order I placed took 50 days and ended up missing one of the main things I wanted (I was promptly refunded for this item due to I videoed the opening and unpacking of my order with no edits.

Local vendor would be preferred. Need the better after-sale service. Besides, can wait a long time for the bettery, but not the ejuice.

Well OP, all my mods are from China, purely because I don't want to spending a shed load of cash on expensive mods, especially when clones operate just as well.

The money I save on buying a couple of clones I spend on good quality US juice, primarily Fivepawns, suicide bunny and the standard.

I stay in Malaysia but Fasttech still takes a couple of weeks to arrive providing everything is in stock, all US juices are stocked here now and are pretty much the RRP as they are in the US.

Frankly, I don't know about that.
I ordered from the Chinese online store, and the package just arrived fine, because I'm not far away from mainland China.
But I totally understand that if you place an order online, sometimes you just got ...... off. Not to mention the long time delivery, but if something wrong with the package, it just cost us double time to exchange.

The ejuice or the battery can be delivered to USA by Epacket? Don't know about that..

My first kit I bought at a local vape shop, it's not too good. I'm waiting on my debit card to arrive in the mail so I can order something new. Gonna get an ego-c twist and a hypertank, heard they're both pretty good. I would've went with a vision spinner but the vendor I'm using doesn't have the colour I want. Also getting some vanilla and cherry ejuice, everything from Viper Vape.

Totally understand!

understood. Once the ejuice was done, need to get the replacement soon, or just go crazy.

I have done both US purchases and Fast tech( AKA SLOW TECH) purchases my last slow tech purchase took 63 days to arrive. My current mods are all US made but I have purchased and PIF'ed many Chinese Mods, and I do purchase many clearos, and RBA clones from overseas. All my e-juice is purchased in the USA

Haha. Not to defend. But I'm still surprised that the Mod and the Ejuice can be delivered from China to overseas! I got a friend in Australia, and try to order some cell phone batteries, but the Epacket/HK Post... are just not available!

Interesting! After some feedback, guess that we all don't mind taking more money at the Ejuice! And more people are still lack of confidence for the Made-in-China Ejuice??

For me, it's not a lack of confidence in Made In China Ejuice. That's one of the items that could easily leak, or not get past customs (in some areas or countries). Plus, it's an item we need to buy frequently, and the delivery times from overseas can be too long of a wait for the ONE thing we need to keep vaping.

Other than that, I am envious that you are "local" to FastTech. I really like Innokin products, and recommend their batteries and iClears to many people. I like FastTech's prices on them, too. Many are put off by the long wait times, but those prices can't be beat, definitely plan purchases in advance, and buy a LOT in advance so you're fully supplied for a while, especially the coils.

Also, I do like my American made devices. My Reos (see my signature) are my favorites, too. But they still need Chinese made batteries (AW IMR 18650's--thank you, China ). I like Chinese made, American made, it doesn't matter. As long as it's made well and comes from a good company, it's all good!

Well, its not that I don't trust the ejuice from China, its more that there only seems to be set flavours i.e 555/Marlboro/Mint etc, I have tried hangsen, dekang & Liqua juices and I found that the throat hit was a bit much on them.

Not to mention the fact that if you want to import juices into Malaysia you need a license, as nicotine is considered a poison and will most likely be confiscated at customs or i'd receive a letter in the post telling me to come and collect my poison! So it would be a waste of cash, plus waiting for a couple of weeks to get some juice is pointless in my opinion, its much easier to just source juice locally.

Btw, my first set up was a vamo v2 with a lot of Liqua juices and it got me off cigarettes completely, and to this day i still tell new vapers that liqua is probably the best line of juices to start off with considering they're cheap, they have a range of flavours from dessert, fruit and tobacco and also because I know its decent juice.

Halo G6 Starter Kit -- Likely to be USA + China (+ other countries?)
Halo G6 Accessories (Blank Cartos, Mini-Tank, Carry Case, etc.) -- Likely to be USA + China (+ other countries?)
Halo Triton Starter Kit -- Likely to be USA + China (+ other countries?)
Halo E-Liquids -- USA
G50 Mega Tank* -- China


* - I can't wait to try out this bad boy. It may be a few more weeks before I can justify the purchase of the Vamo V5 that I want to use with it.

nope but with mtbaker for juice and vendors on this site that sells batteries almost as cheap no need to buy these from china.

Hahaha.. It's much more convenient for me to purchase from Fasttech. But I didn't realize they're in Shenzhen, China at first. I bought my new set from Cigabuy and got the package in 4 days.
In HK, we still lack the confidence for the made-in-China products, not just because of the quality, but also afraid of buying some "knock-off" products.
But things are getting better now, sometimes I have to go to Shenzhen for Business, and could visit the factory. So I could know where/how are the products come out!

Sometimes, the things you bought from USA are just made in China. So Prefer to buy directly from China.
Bought my cellphone from China, but not work well at first. Called the service centre, they were nice, patient. But I just not familiar with such eletronic things, but I fixed it enventually after an-hour-online-lesson. So not hard to understand that why some people prefer to buy things from local store!

Couldn't agree any more.
You bought your cellphone from China? What brand? I happen to be a fan of smart phone....
