Hey, you guys, I have a question. How many of you have ordered from fasttech in the past and how was your experience? I'm STILL waiting on a mod Rich ordered me for my birthday back in December (he ordered it the end of November) from a stateside vendor, and it was on "pre-order" status at the time, but everyone seems to have this mod in stock now. Except I still don't have mine. I've contacted them on their live chat function "sorry, still not in stock," and e-mailed the owner, and now I've PM'd the owner here on ECF, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just cancel that order and reorder it from fasttech. They have it in stock, and the price is the same... I just want it NOW, and I'm tired of waiting.

What do you guys think? Is fasttech OK to order from, and might I actually get it in the next several weeks? Or should I just keep waiting on the U.S. vendor? What would YOU do?

Do yall have a suggestion on where I can find recipes to make liquids? I would kinda like to go over some and find some that sound good so I can start pricing out the concentrates and finding them. When taxes come in I want to have my stores book marked and wish lists made so I can hit the ground running. Thanks.

I have ordered SEVERAL times from them. I usually get the order within a couple of weeks, IF they say the item is in stock.

Who is the stateside seller? That would help me determine what I would do.

Cool I just book marked this page so I can go back and read it at home. I told my wife we needed to start getting our plans together so we could go on a shipping spree. Lol

Also I see lots of people buy nic from MFS. but on other pages people have said it was peppery. I know that taste means it is not good. I just don't want to order from the wrong place and end up with bad nic.

Vicshalls, I haven't tried MFS, but I thought the nic from Wizard Labs was peppery. The past couple of years I've used Nude Nic and stock up when they have a sale (40% off for Black Friday). I don't recall the others I tried in small samples, but I didn't have any problems with them, just WL.

In preparation for your DIY odyssey, you could download an ejuice calculator and start collecting recipes that interest you as you go along. That could help you sort out what you want on your initial order. Also, if you're feeling brave, you could plan to start out DIYing by weight. I've done drops and lots of syringes but it became much easier when I got a scale. I find it's faster and less clean up, two big benefits in my books!

MFS offers small bottles of nic. Get one of those and try it out?
I have used MFS nic since I started vaping. Except for one small bottle of DR Nic I got from Amazon when I first started. I can tell no difference in them and I do not like a lot of throat hit. Maybe a very slight peppery taste?
And I mix my juice at low flavoring percentages typically 5-7%.
Currently using 3% nic but until recently was using 6%. And right after starting vaping was using 12%.

It's an iJoy Solo mini ordered from Breazy.com, specifically the rose gold/pink one. They got BLACK in stock, but only that one color. Rich paid $53-something for it including postage, and Fasttech has them for $50 with free shipping. I've already waited a month and a half, so compared to that, a couple weeks is no big deal. If I could just get an answer from Breazy about WHEN they might have the pink in stock, I could decide whether to cancel it or not, but I hate to just cancel if it's going to ship in the next week or two anyway. This is SO frustrating! (I'm not normally a patient person, so this has been a Herculean effort for me so far!)

~Lannie

Oh, I forgot to say, yes, Fasttech says they have the pink ones in stock now.

Here's a couple other places that may complicate your decision, for $40 Authentic IJOY Solo Mini 75W Rose Gold Temperature Control VW Box Mod and for $47 Original IJOY Solo Mini 75W TC Box Mod . Neither one are here, so have about the same shipping time as Fasttech. I've ordered from gearbest once and don't remember having to wait too awful long for me to get my order. I don't know anything about 3fvape.

I've heard too many stories of long waits for shipping on those two to consider them. Fasttech is speedy by comparison, from the things I've read around ECF. ;) But thanks for looking! :wub:

I use MFS nic & don't taste any pepper. Things taste differently from one person to another, Vic. One example is eliquid juices. What tastes delightful to one person can taste like wet dog to someone else. I've heard the same pepper thing said about nic from several vendors. It doesn't mean the nic is no good, it does mean there is possibly something about the source of the nic (plant variety or something?) that that individual is sensitive to. I Iove the smell of roses, lavender, jasmine, & lilacs, but can't stand honeysuckle or patchouli. I can eat cinnamon, I can't vape it & it doesn't smell good to me in juice, but smells great in cobbler. Contact the nic vendors & see if they offer sample sizes. Or order a 30ml bottle of unflavored juice in your nic level to try it before you commit to a larger amount.
