Is FastTech reputable? Does anyone have any purchases from there?

cheap stuff - lots of hit and miss. check the discussion and reviews. Also, shipping takes a while because it comes over on slow boat from china then ships out of San Diego USPS with standard shipping.
Don't buy batteries from there or it will get held up by customs for an extra few days or more (or so I hear).
I've gotten a few atomizers from them, and like I said, hit and miss. but for $10 an atty, you really can't beat the prices.

I've ordered about 20 times from FT now, nothing but good experiences to report.
There are tricks to ordering correctly though, to make sure you get the best product for the best price. There are also different ways to ship so you get the stuff in time. Rather than rehash that here, I'll just point you to the Fasttech subforum. Everything you could possibly want to know about FT is there.

Aware of that. This is exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you. I really don't want to wait 
They are reputable. Some items, like batteries, can cause shipping delays. Otherwise, it's shipping via the Chinese and US postal services, Plan for at least 1-2 weeks of transit time minimum China to US and the same 1-2 week to you once in the US. If there are loose batteries (non permanent) in the order then change the weeks to months.
I buy from there or Focalecig often. Just not for items I need in less than a month.

angelcigs is good too - good quality clones - though their selection is thin shipping is pretty quick too... inside a week I think.
I haven't kept count, but I have ordered from FT many times over the last two years with out a single proplem. When I do order from FT I am not in a hurry.
Right now, from FT, I am waiting for; Authentic Cloupor Mini 30W Variable Wattage / Voltage VW VV APV Box Mod and a Kayfun Nano Style RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (2.5ml). Like I said, I'm not in a hurry. I do like their prices.

With any RDA/RTA ... well, anything you juice is going to touch... CLEAN IT! completely disassembled, hot water and dawn work great to clean off machine oil and other manufacturing crud. Just be sure and rinse it thoroughly.
I got my last few orders in between 6-11 days from ordering to my door in South Texas.
They recently offered a new shipping upgrade for batteries that significantly reduces the time for them now - cost is $5 extra.

Yep my first order was a mech and some 18650s. It was held up in customs for over a month, and eventually returned to Fasttech. They were really apologetic though and refunded everything I paid. Made another order eventually (no batteries) and it came through in about 2 weeks, like others have said.
These days I tend to order from eBay when I want a cheap clone. It's a few dollars more, but arrives so much faster that it's worth the price to me.
If you do go Fasttech, here are some tips:
- Don't buy batteries (see above).
- Read reviews to make sure what you're getting is what you wanted.
- Double-check the item, photos and all, from the drop-down list before you add it to your cart. I hit the wrong button once and got a REALLY weird Nimbus. No post holes and a smaller chamber. It's actually pretty cool and I still use it for some stuff, but as a newbie at the time it really set back my build progress.
- Check the availability. Twice. If it says "ships next day," then it takes about 2 days before leaving their warehouse. If it says "in stock," then it will ship in like 3-ish days, give or take. If it says anything else, expect to wait a while... (and the "ETA" numbers are not always accurate)
It's China and everything is pretty disorganized over there. But you'll get your stuff eventually and also some surprisingly decent customer service, should you need to use it. I buy stuff from them every now and then still, when I don't have a timeline of when I want it. Usually, right about the time I forgot I ordered an item is when it arrives to my doorstep. Always well packaged. (I like how they show you photos of your item packed up when you check your order status!)
i use fasttech all the time
they are slow... but they work.,,,,, and they do returns if you have issues.
some of their stuff is hit and miss though. Got a couple RDA ive never used from there. and a couple mods that have been rotated out. now just my peggy, and soon, my sigelei

You have to be selective on what you order, read the reviews. I have saved quite a bit. Oh by the way I have been ordering for almost 2 years.
I have used Fasttech since I began vaping a year and a half ago. I am very pleased with their products. (maybe not so much the shipping time but hey. . .I save money). When you find something that you are interested in, make sure you read all the reviews and discussions. If you have any questions regarding a mod, just ask us here. There is always someone that can help with anything you need help on. That is what is so wonderful about ecf. I know I have come here to get a "second opinion". Good luck to you.
Fasttech is a distributor, not a manufacturer or anything. Given they're based in Shenzhen, China, it takes 2 weeks-ish to ship. Otherwise, you'll have to read reviews and study the images carefully before you make a purchase.
I've bought a ton of stuff from fasttech and most of it has been great. Just got a copper praxis clone for 26 bucks and couldn't be happier. The real thing goes for 130.
I'd recommend paying the extra two bucks to upgrade shipping, when I do my stuff usually arrives in ten days. That said my kuro koilers have been in transit for three weeks now with the upgraded shipping... can't win em all.

i purchased a Sigelei 100w Plus, Cloupor T6, SX300 and some battery case from there. Took around 10 days to arrive. That's if they have stock ready. So far so good.
Don't order anything from them now, however. Their New Year holiday is coming up in a few weeks, and it lasts a week. Orders are going to be backlogged for ages.
i spent good amount of money at FT. so far everything is good. on thing to note as everyone mentioned, the shipping to US or anywhere can take some time. if the item you want is in stock, maybe 2-3 weeks. if the item you want is on waiting list, can be as long as months. i ordered few drip tips once. that took 3 months. last time i ordered it was 1:1 SMPL clone. that took exactly 2 weeks.
they do not list the manufacturer. so if you are looking for specific clone maker like hcigar or infinite, your guess will be good as any.
their customer service is rather nice. they don't ask too many questions if something goes wrong. they will provide replacement right away. most everything i have from FT is 1:1 clones. they have not let me down yet. vapes nice. right now, i'm vaping 1:1 4nine clone with 1:1 tohb v2 clone. running at .4 ohm. nice airflow and great performance.
don't get battery or juice from them. i don't at least.

I wouldn't get juice or batteries, I'm probably putting in an order to Mt. Baker soon enough. Is that new years thing true? That would stink.
