The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

[BreSha6869]

Does anyone know what type of products must be paid for by Bitcoin? After spending an hour picking products, I was told at checkout that I can't pay by PayPal or CC.

My order is pretty basic. Just parts like coils, RBAs, wire, replacement glass, o rings, etc. Not sure what product would be "restricted".

Help!

Thanks guys!

Turned out to be the authentic Aspire coils and replacement tanks. Pulled them off and I am good to go. Weird that authentic Kanger goes thru with no problem.

I think I have enough kanthal, replacement tanks, RBAs, o rings and cotton to last me for the rest of my life!

I ordered 3 different RBAs for my Uwell Crowns. I am very interested to see the difference between an $8 authentic Crown RBA vs a $4 clone and a $3 clone.

I've gotten that little dripper before... just be forewarned, that thing is TINY. I used one early on in my vaping as a dripper for my ego. Yes, they're that small. not a bad little dripper for the price. if it's the one like mine that takes an allen wrench, don't lose that wrench... you can't buy a replacement at home depot or lowes.

My first dripper and vape shop experience was with those. The shop had five tables with double level carousels, small squeeze bottles in the upper deck, drippers in the lower and cards describing the juice under glass on the flat of the table. They gave me a drip tip,a loaner ego battery, showed me how to use it and cut me loose. Nice setup, I was decidedly a vaper when I left.

So many things in the mail.... lol

I agree,it sucks when you have to go to the post office to pick something up haha.Pretty much all my packages come to my house,but i've had a few from different places that were signature required,and our very lazy mail man won't bother to knock,he will just leave the notice saying he missed me,and then i will have to go to the po and pick it up.It's only like a 10 minute drive for me,but standing in a never ending line is horrible haha.

I use nothing but PayPal on FT, have never had a problem. My registered address on both PayPal and FT is my home address.

Same here with the home address.

It seems there are certain items that they will not ship to Canada unless you use Bitcoin. Have you ordered any authentic Aspire stuff? That seems to be the big one.

Strangely enough, my initial order included 2 boxes of Aspire coils, I deleted them to allow me to use PayPal, added a few other items of similar value, saw that a few items were backordered after paying, deleted those items, got a "gift certificate", ordered the same Aspire coils and they shipped no problem. Very strange company, but anything is possible if you know their goofy system.

My order also arrived today. It took 3 weeks. Wow! Until I looked it up, I hadn't realized it took so long. I've been too busy to notice.

Got 1 order coming from fasttech, it shipped 2 days ago, but now also placed my 1st order from 3fvape, if I don't get it in 5 days, I'm blaming you

I think you'll get it pretty quick,as long as USPS doesn't give it the U.S. tour the way they like to do with my Fasttech orders haha.My 3f orders flew through customs and straight from Chicago to me,about half of my Fasttech orders go through customs,then bounce around 5 or 6 states before they get to me haha.
I think they may have been trying to deliver my last Ft to you,Wichita was one of it's many pit stops haha.

Just couldn't help myself. Pretty sure I just buy from Fasttech to have tracking numbers to check and check. And check. Ordered a couple of mech mod clones: Penny Style Mod SKU 2037900 and the King 2 Style Mod SKU 1759003. There's also two sets of Sony VTC 5 batts coming from a local(ish) vendor to me Lightning Vapes. Spent the last few days reading up on mech mod safety, 101 etc. Already pretty comfortable with battery safety and all that...just brushing up on what builds might work best with a mech for the way I vape as I have gotten accustomed to using the IPV4. and just clicking up or down. Super stoked, my birthday is this week so hopefully this order comes on the quickness. I'll be a happy camper if I get my stuff before February though. Happy Vaping and Happy Fastteching to everyone.

As far as i understand it's not FT policy, but PayPal policy not to sell "tobacco related products" to US-, Canada- and Brasil-citizens. Possibly due to those countries' laws.

Weird thing is that I have ordered dozens of vape products from FT.. Mods, other coils, tanks, RBAs, etc. It was only 3 of the 25+ products in my basket that had to be removed and they were all Aspire.

All aspire products have to be purchased through bitcoin or gift certificate and that is because aspire themselves did not want unauthorized sellers selling their product. Aspire went to paypal and complained so then it was changed. You see Fasttech does not get their aspire stock from aspire they get it from a middle man that is not supposed to sell to them.

Whenever you see on Fasttech that the authentificaton code has been scratched off or removed it is because Fasttech is getting their stock not from the maker but a middleman, out the bak door kind of thing.

When purchasing aspire products just purchase a gift certificate using your paypal or credit card.

I've never heard of changing the country before. Kind of interesting. I've noticed there's a lot of countries FT doesn't ship to that others will, like Mexico. Ecigs aren't technically legal there, but it's loosely enforced.

Wonder why FT doesn't use epkt any longer? 3fvape is faster because of that. They also sell Aspire without hassle so I picked up my coils there when they had a bf discount. Otherwise I've been able to match their prices on Aspire coils. Not much of a discount beyond shipping.

One thing still in FT's favor is their customer service and the forums. I refer to the forums and discussion threads constantly before buying anything. They are like Amazon for vape gear. All the other sites I find complaints when people can't get a hold of anyone or returns to China. Ugh.

I remember when that started. What a mess. FT wasn't informed by Paypal first. It was Kanger, then Innokin and Aspire within a week. They claimed they were counterfeits. I know Innokin was sending out letters saying that they couldn't be authentic, then it was proven they were. I don't know what all happened, but it seems like Aspire is the only one that stuck. Use the MAP code to see if there's an additional discount on any of the big brands.

The idea of minimum advertised price just seems wrong IMO. I know one vendor stateside was getting around it by setting up phoney vape shop websites and buying under the phoney name. Then they started tracking sku's and going after the distributors, which is why those are removed now. Retail is weird. I think it was vape mall that had a recent blog post saying anything from FT wasn't authentic. Really? Are we going thru that again?
