Can't pay for authentic aspire stuff (coils or nautilus), unless I go through bitcoin only. No other options listed. :(
I found this as a workaround to your problem. Don't know how accurate it is or if you want to go to this much trouble, but I have read other people doing this so it apparently does work:

"You buy anything legit on here that paypal will allow and pay for it, then cancel the order and take your refund as a gift certificate

So if you want to buy an item of $10.67, try find something as close to that price as possible, either exactly, or slightly higher, buy it, pay fot it, cancel it and refund to gift certificate, use gift certificate on aspire product."

Thanks, @MikeE3. I made sure to choose only items listed as "in stock" but I know that could change at checkout. Just a few coils, wire, drip tips etc. It's weird. Some items are listed as "ships next day" while others are listed as "in stock." I wonder what the difference is.

I've seen some discussion about where packages travel (Singapore was one one of them). Did you have to make that distinction or just choose e-packet?

ETA: The July 4 code is FREEDOM if anyone else is looking for it. Gives 10 percent off.

All I did was select e-packet for the shipping ... nothing else.

I'm thinking of placing a small, first-time order with Fasttech today just to test the waters. Are there any tricks I need to know going in, especially on shipping choices?

ETA: I saw yesterday they were having a July 4 sale but can't find the code anywhere. Anyone know it?
Code is FREEDOM
I did an order today & chose USPS. It said 12- 20 days. But was free.

This is only my 2nd order in 2 years. Be prepared to wait & possibly get multiple shipments, & glass things could arrive broken, or parts not fit.
Sounds like a winner. :rolleyes: I just ordered a few drip tips, coils, plastic 30ml bottles and some 26ga wire to try. After discount it came to $22.10, so if it's a nightmare, I'll take it as lesson learned. I did notice that two items said expected shipping July 5 and two others said July 6. Not in a hurry or in great need for any of it, so I won't stress.
Fasttech coup for 10% is FREEDOM. Today only.
Thanks. Did find it, and it worked fine.

The only "problem" with Fasttech, which isn't really a problem, is if an item is listed as "ships in X days it can hold up your order. I actually placed 2 orders today, one for "in stock" or "ships next day" and the other for items that say "ships in X days". The "ships in X days" order was not quite $20 ($20 gets you free shipping options), but shipping was only $.13. Yep, 13 cents!!!! So I paid shipping. Chose USPS for both. Last 2 orders shipped USPS were in my mailbox within 10 days of shipping.

I've read about that X number of days thing before so was careful to avoid it.

But we stop short of hoarding!

No, she's still 3mg, I just have fat thumbs!
The porch ought to give out a prize for the person with the most KFs when deeming hits. :lol:
I'm not a hoarder .... nope .. not me! :lol:

El Whacko has the that dog beat all to hell, except he collects single knots. He chews off one end of the bone and usually leaves the other half lying on the floor. (They hurt like the dickens when you step on them barefoot.) He's got one cardboard box and one basket full of them. Every so often we sneak a grocery bag full of them out to the trash. When he wants to chew on one, it's always the one at the bottom of the second container he looks in. Thank heavens for nic or I wouldn't be able to stand it.

1) You should know that you shouldn't order from them because it is very addicting.

2) Don't looking at the tracking every day, it makes your package go slower.

Getting a multiple of 5 items can bring the price down a lot. For example, I buy PT coils from them. One box cost $3.45, buy five or more and they are $3.06 per box. Looking at something yesterday and it was a couple of pennies more, literally, to buy five than two.
I found this as a workaround to your problem. Don't know how accurate it is or if you want to go to this much trouble, but I have read other people doing this so it apparently does work:

"You buy anything legit on here that paypal will allow and pay for it, then cancel the order and take your refund as a gift certificate

So if you want to buy an item of $10.67, try find something as close to that price as possible, either exactly, or slightly higher, buy it, pay fot it, cancel it and refund to gift certificate, use gift certificate on aspire product."
Read that also. The minute you get your invoice, go in and cancel the order. Just love that there's a workaround for some company trying to dictate what you can spend your own money on..

I placed 2 orders. One ships USPS, & the other Singapore Post because it had built in batteries in it.

MFS put out a discount SUMMER17 for 17% off your order. I ordered the 2 Liter 100mg/ml Nic and some more Ni200 coils. Yea for me. Now I just need to order more VG/PG at Essential Depot and I will be set.


Diver, the nic will be okay in your freezer for however long, but Essential Depot does have an expiration date of two yrs. out stamped on label for both pg/vg. :)

Has anyone had their pg or vg over two yrs. to give us the "skinny"?

Also, noticed the vg comes in "palm" since last April. Anyone know about this?
