Hmmm. Sounds legit.

fastech is a huge retail site.
E cigs are a tiny portion of their inventory.
They have a stellar reputation and better a customer service and warranty dept. than most authentic modders.

They ship litterally MILLIONS of dollars worth of goods every day.
They, like most major players in China have a commercial shipping arrangement with HKP and SP.

Just be sure your order is over $20 or free shipping means a slow boat.

Normal shipping times for items listed as "in stock" are about 9 days from China to So Cal.

As said - fasttech is a good source, but read carefully (regarding whether an item is authentic or a copy) and read reviews, and figure at LEAST a week for "ships next day".
Another one to check is Focalecig.com



Are there any other websites like this I feel out of the loop now! I have just bought of websites I googled and in store.

What other websites are there like fasttech that I have missed?

I for one will avoid this site forever. Sure it is cheap but it all ships out from overseas and from what people on here have said, it can take forever to get to you. I seem to recall one guy saying it took like a month or 2 to get. Way too long for me lol


Actually Fasttech in my experience is much faster than "Gearbest", " Focalecig" and the other based in China companies. If the item is in stock and says "ships next day" and you choose the USPS shipping option the longest i have waited is 12 days.

When the items ships a week later, you order batteries or the item is" not in stock" is when you wait forever.

They have, by far the biggest selection to be found anywhere and they have very long warranties on most of their products , CS is reliable but you need to wait a day or two for them to contact you back.

Make sure you don't pick the "rowboat" shipping option , a small Chinese gentlemen is of average size and strength , you can't expect him to row full speed the whole way and it's no secret a small rowboat can be blown off course by hurricanes and it does happen .

Expect a delay in delivery if this happens.

Careful. It becomes an addiction!

haha i bet. vaping as a whole has become sort of an addiction for me. never thought it would do the trick (for replacing cigarettes), then my girlfriend brought her little evod pen around, tried it for a night, didn't feel like i needed a cigarette and here i am a week later, obsessed! cheers

You can have it faster from 'fast' tech too - options to tick are plentiful. Shipping charges then take a huge bite off the advantage from ordering there in the first place.

And as I'm working in the shipping industry; pre-sorted by region / destination gets you already a huge discount from the mail service providers as you're doing some of their work for them already.
If the order numbers at FT are consecutive ( and I have reason to believe that are ) that company alone got several truckloads of small parcels every day. Ship as standby mail ( i.e. for operators to 'top-up' any unsold capacity with low-yield stuff is still better than no-yield :) ) and you also got an idea why there delivery times vary wildly...had stuff here in 12 days, had other parcels taking almost two months...

Someone linked me this on the forums and it seems like the cheapest website every?!?

I can get a billow V2 for 10 dollars with free shipping apparently.

Is this site legit?!? It seems amazing!
It's funny though. A month ago I was asking the excact same question :)

I never order from any of those. I only order from places in the US.

I used them and the juice is okay but the tanks and atomizers / coils = BIG NO. I would be wary of the batteries also.

I found the coils would die faster than genuine Kanger or Janty ones and also the tanks such as EVODS etc would leak, gurgle and spit when genuine ones did not. Not worth the hassle for me as I want as hassle free an experience to keep me non frustrated with vaping which can be frustrating enough even with great products.

Genuine stuff really is - in my experience - much better. Like everything else in life you get what you pay for.

Of course genuine usually is better. And fasttech sells genuine as well. I agree, their coils are crap. And they sell a lot of bad things.

But take a look at the reviews anf forums for each product. And you are taking a chance when buying something non-authentic.
