Sorry to dredge up such an old thread but did not want to start another one while one was here.
Looking to buy one but am concerned the only places I am seeing it sold is direct from China. Worried about getting a clone and not being authentic. Seen it at Myvapestore but I am a cheapskate and not paying $5 shipping. :p
Any other ideas or anyone have good luck with a reliable Chinese site?

Fasttech has Authentic OBS items, no styled versions are on the site. 3 colors, $23.97 for the Black version,$21.35 for the Silver. Gold is in between.

My last black one was here in 10 days, order to door, just before this last Chinese holiday.

Will be very hard to find one in US. I've gotten three from FT at various times and happy with them. The only one I bought US has a very loose port fill ring and af ring. The tolerance on the FT Nanos are better. They are getting scarce, better jump soon.

Are the rings on the black one very stiff and tight? I have 6 silver and 5 have good rings but the only black one I have you can't hardly open the fill port or adjust af. Juicing them didn't help at all.

The rings are fine on my new black one. Of course, I have so many rings now from all the Engines that it's silly. I keep them in a coil case with all the extra grub screws.

Fasttech reputable I assume? My first non-Kanger tank in three years so a bit concerned about making the switch and getting screwed in one fail swoop. I assume it will come from China. What is the time frame I would be looking at, approximately?

Fasttech is a great place. Some people claim hit or miss, but as long as you order items marked Authentic, you generally have no worries. They have a great store warranty and local return addresses. I always have 24 hour replies to any issues I have had, they also have rebates and specials all the time. Shipping is usually the biggest issue for people who can't wait.

Ten Days to 4 to 6 weeks. All depends on the weather, Global Politics and who has the quarter to flip today. ;)

Fasttech can take anywhere from 10 days to a month for me. It's gotten a bit faster since I started with the epacket. You can trust authentic to be authentic and "styled" to be clones. I think speed of shipping will also depend on port of entry and where you are located in the US. Although Chinese new year is pretty much over I think there may be some backlog of orders that could slow things down.

If you need it sooner, it's probably worth paying a few dollars more. I don't know who might carry it though. You could try vapecrawler I guess, it should give you some US vendors as well, not just Chinese ones.

Best of luck!
