And THOSE differences, heck yeah! Bring on da hoops.

Here, though. Still a difference, and may still be worth it, but I'm OK at these numbers. Plus they arrive in about three days.

Personal choice though, and neither is wrong. $15, well THAT'S just "wrong"!

you can also go to the fasttech mobile site and purchase gift certificates:

...as far as I know it is only needed for Aspire products...at least that is the only time I needed to use it (to buy coils for the Kabuki). Bought some other things a few days ago, and it worked fine with PP....as long as you don't put aspire product in your basket.

Thank you - I wonder why they offer the option on the mobile site but not the full site? When I login to the full site, the option doesn't exist to purchase gift certificates. I very much appreciate this information.

That is the price my local B&M charges for the Nautilus coils - $3 a coil with a discount price of $15 for a 5 pack

The response I received from FT is that e-cigs products are off the list for PP, since it violates Paypal's rules . They gave me the same option of buying something and cancelling, but it seemed a questionable practice, so I declined. I've used 3FVape, US Suppliers, or EU to supply my vape needs.

I am confused by this discussion as well. I order everything from FT and have never had issues using Paypal. They just shipped 3 attys, an IPV D2 and an Evic mini on separate orders using PP. I have done at least 20 orders over the last year without any issues. I don't use Aspire products so have never tried but I just placed the envy22 in my cart and tried to checkout and it gave me the option to use PP.

 

[Freedom2Vape]

Now this is aggravating - I had a number of items in my cart, including Aspire coils. If FT support had told me I couldn't order Aspire items using PP instead of telling me that e-cigarette items could not be purchased using PP, then I would have just removed the coils...

 

[TheWestPole]

August 16th. I even asked them about purchasing Fast Tech Gift Certificates using Paypal and then using them for purchases, but the FT support said the only way to get a gift certificate was to buy an item and then cancel it.

Weird. I've placed 12 orders with them since the end of August, all sorts of vape stuff (no Aspire products) and all paid with PP. All were processed and delivered with no issues.

You know the Envy22 will make your shipment time much longer. Because of its built in battery, USPS option is not offered, and it takes forever. I don't order anything with a battery from FT. Learned the hard way.

 

[ian91]

I didn't plan to order it. Just wanted to see if I could using PP. To Canada, all orders with built in batteries go thru Sweden. Takes about a month or more for shipping. Not sure if the US is the same but all normal orders to Canada now go thru Singapore. That takes at least 21 days in shipping. When they were going thru China Post, I was getting them in 1-2 weeks. If you don't have patience, don't use FT.

Yeah, thats way too high , why people are not buying Nautilus coils when MFS run their 40% off sale every few months i don't know but thats where i buy mine. They are priced at around $11.00 regularly .

You think $15.00 is bad , i was on "Vaporstek" website and he wants $24.00 for a 5 pack , i don't know what Kevin is thinking but he's not looking after us thats for sure.

 

[aikanae1]

I noticed coil prices have raised, esp Aspire's. I wasted my bf sale on comparing prices and even with MFS % off they still came out to > ten$ / pack with shipping. Not much of a "sale". Sweet Vapes was the lowest I found stateside. VSS was next best. I haven't had much luck with clones lasting so I was only looking at authentics. I did find some for $7 to $8 at 3FVape but that was a bf only discount. I saw some prices over twenty $ too. And that was just for Nautilus. I saw other sub ohm coils sometimes higher than the atty. wth?

The paypal thing has been going on for sometime. On the right hand side under specs there will be a note that pp is not available for this item. Applies to all "authentic" coils of Innokin, Kanger and Aspire. They complained that FT was not an authorized reseller. I'm sure it would apply to mobile sales as well since it comes from pp. Right now the other chinese sites are still able to sell coils, but for how long? They don't do the amount of biz FT does.

That restriction could get expanded to other stuff but FT seems to be following map pricing instead. At one time, MAP code gave a lower price on items that had map prices. I don't know if it still does.

Most do buy GC's in the same amount, and buy items with those. It's common now, maybe not when it first started since it caught FT by surprise. They weren't warned and it took them a couple of weeks to get a response from pp. FT's cs forums exploded with comments when it happened. At first it was impossible to buy anything with the word Kanger in the tittle and that's not true anymore.

But it's a good idea to check on the right hand side, same space they put comments about battery shipping restrictions when getting anything anymore. Just in case of more restrictions. I've got a couple of pkgs in route now with "authentic" Kanger stuff, but not coils, paid with pp. I buy all my colored tanks from there.

 

[ian91]

MAP still works. They have a Cthulhu atty for $38. MAP brings it to $27. Weird about the Aspire PP thing. Never noticed that as I don't order any of their products.

Thanks, @aikanae1, this is clarifying.

For others, see the restriction note on this Aspire coil in the lower right:

I'm glad. It doesn't take much to cut a place off and FT carries so much that can't be found elsewhere, esp replacement parts.

 

[herb]

I have noticed some sites like "Lightning Vapes" is offering a free shipping option, that to me is a HUGE deal as shipping usually wipes out any savings benefit.

Agreed. It's been my prime Chinese source, and most trusted at that. Even more so now that Focalecig is changing its shipping practices and requiring signatures on more packages.

I've never used them or others because customer service is so important. FT really does well imo. 3F is gaining a good rep too. We'll see. There is a FT thread on ECF. I just discovered today that a person doesn't need to order batteries to use the "expidited battery shipping" and people are reporting stateside deliveries in 8 days. Course now that will get bogged down soon. lol.

 

[Katdarling]

FT told me that it was the Aspire coils that are/were the problem (with not being able to use PP). They said that Aspire products on their website have the payment limitation and can only be paid by Bitcoin or gift certificate.

They then said that at present, only their priority customers could buy the gift certificates with a paypal account (credit card is not acceptable), and linked the same mobile site.

How does one become a priority customer? Hmmm... "There are a few ways to gain priority access. The most obvious one is to come back and keep placing orders. Other ways include participation in the forums."

The things we do for love, and coils.

Well, I'm certainly no priority customer and I bought a GC via their mobile app a month ago. Have you tried? And you can place a PP order, cancel it and GC will be issued to you automatically. Unless that has changed recently, of course. I don't like that option, either, but it works.

I know "authentic" Kanger coils are restricted too. If you avoid "authentic" coils, they go thru paypal just fine now. I did buy "authentic" Kanger and Aspire bases, rba's and insulators with pp last week with no trouble. But I checked the lower rh corner first and saw no restrictions.

I've never heard of a priority customer. There's 2 or 3 volunteers that have some sort of privledge to speak for FT that are helpful, more like moderators that speak english. Even the ebay resellers aren't "priority" to my knowledge. They are on the forums like everyone else.

Whenever I've seen comments about if gift certs can be bought or if they can only be obtained thru canceled refunds it has been based on what country you are in. I've canceled something before just because everything was ready to ship except one or two things, and I got refunded instantly with a gift cert.

There is a reward point system for how much you buy and for giving reviews. Those rewards can be cashed in for gift certs when you get enough. I bet that's what FT was refferring to. I got a $5 gift cert at the end of last year. Sometimes there's a lot lost in translation. Go to the FT thread here, or ask in the customer forums at FT.

It never hurts to double check. I have to do that with Sprint all the time and they speak english.
