From those of you who have used fasttech, have you really saved money? I was just looking through a few products, such as an authentic iStick Pico, and it was about $1.50 less than My Vaporstore. I compared the Aspire nautilus and Mini, and there the price was about $4.00 less, which with free shipping, I guess is a bit better, but then you have that forever wait for it to arrive.

So I guess my real question is, is fasttech best for clones and accessories rather than authentic products? Or is it just random that my small selection comparison missed good savings on authentic stuff as well?

Fasttech is better for Someone who wants yo try a clone of an authentic to see if if works for them without spending a load of money.

My Friend Jon wanted to try vaping. I put a Kayfun nano clone together for him it cost $11. A few days latee he was in a vape shop and the authentic of tge same thing was for sale for $125. So yes he saved $114.

A moderator here at ECF bought a clone of the Goblin Mini on Fasttech, then won an authentic Goblin Mini and after using both she declared the clone was better of the two.

I bought the Silverplay Nano ay Fasttech for $10.07 when the authentic was $39.99 and my clone is freaking awesome!

So yes you can save a LOT of money if you shop carefully and compare prices.

My daily vape is a Kayfun Monster Mini V3. It works like a champion, and i paid only $5.43 for it, and got 6 spare tanks for it $6.54.

So about $12 got me an Atty and six spare tanks just in case i broke some.

I use that Atty every day for months and my first tank is working great.

I bought two spare bases and two spare chimneys for it.

This tiny Atty holds 2.5 ml of Juice and is only 30 mm tall not counting tge drip tip and 510 PIN.

Yeah I had the same problem with arrival, Although it was not Fastechs fault. I think I did mention it before, the goods arrived in my country within two days at the main terminal for customs to clear. Then our postal service Australia post took forever to send them. The stupid *)(&%$#$# sent them by regular snail mail from the entry port in my country. You can if you want them faster have them sent by DHL but it costs more. I never had a problem with DHL. Less than a week.

Dang , i understand illegal but "highly illegal " makes me nervous , just what does highly illegal mean compared to just illegal is my question ?

Sounds like "highly illegal" could possibly be a hacking off of ones hands compared to just "illegal" which could just be a "don't do it again" warning.

I know people from Thailand, Korea, Tokyo and Hong Kong who take their mods and liquids into Singers all the time…with no consequences. They are just incredibly discreet and trust no one to be around them when they fire up. It's just common sense…you don't walk through the airport with a fully functional mod in your pocket. There are procedures to follow. Im not going to spell out the precautions taken here because you never know who is reading this forum. i am pretty sure there are officials on here with memberships who are instigating conversations just to deter the ignorant, easily manipulated masses.

Trust no one is the operative word here. Use common sense and reserve your most probing questions on such practices in the verified members section…even that is no guarantee of safety but it's better than asking this kind of stuff here where the answers are for all to see and adjust their strategies accordingly.

They are reliable. The shipping takes awhile but it is coming from China.
Just take note that if you want authentic to be sure it says "authentic'. Fasttech is good about this. If it says it, it is.
Not to say clones are bad.. Not all anyway. Read reviews and discussions.
Best of luck to you!

Funnily enough, a pack of kanger SSOCC coils costs close to $15 on the china sites while in WOV it's around $10.70 or something.

So not everything is a bargain.

Across Europe, those coils are listed from China as about $8.50 (US) which is then converted into Euros or GB Pounds.

That is more than a bargain. Where are you looking? Are you sure that's US $?

They used to be a lot better than they are today. There are very long delays. I have been ordering from them for quite a few years but lately my orders are taking weeks to even package and things stay back-ordered. If you can wait for items you want to try it is worth it. If you want something within the next month order from your own country. Do not order 18650 batteries, my last order took 2 months and was returned to FT by Sweden post.

I always get exactly what I ordered, but it doesn't matter which shipping method I choose it always take a month or longer to arrive. IF i don't need something and find something just browsing then I'll order from them. If I need something soon, I spend the extra money and get it from a US Vendor in a couple of days.

I don't mind FT, but I read the reviews and discussions. FT is just a clearing house. They don't make anything. So, the three factories that are making clones are all selling at different prices and sometimes with different parts. Even the originator may be selling. Read the comments/discussions.

Ask here in the authenitics's forum about FT versions. Try and get a URL or the SKU of the one recommended.

Surprisingly, a lot chat on FT just for those reasons. It also makes the clone makers more competitive.
