I was already ordering a bunch of stuff from fasttech, not worried about a couple bucks. Plus with shipping it would be more anyway.
I just wanted to point that it is possible to find many things cheaper elsewhere. For example you can find some authentic stuff cheaper even from US based vendors (I bought Siegelei 30 from 101vapes cheaper that from FT, even including shipping, and shipping was just a few days). And Amazon ships for free orders above $35.

the secret is googling "-sitename- coupon", you get a bunch of good coupons for websites that compete with fasttech pricing. It still may end up costing a -bit- more, but you get it MUCH quicker when you buy from within your own country.

Right on. I like fasttech for stuff like drip tips, replacement glass, stuff like that which they have an awesome selection you can't really find elsewhere. Some stuff the prices can't be beat at all though. Then I'm lazy and they have the prewrapped coils. So I just toss in other stuff because it's just easier from one spot with free shipping. I don't need anything I ordered for a good 4 weeks. Sure I want it now lol, but I really do not need any of it yet.

Another example-- Authentic Lemo RTAs are $30.99 from FastTrch. I just bought 3 from Vapingzone for $14.99 each + $5.99 shipping, & they were in the mail from Columbia, South Carolina within 2 hours.

As for batteries - for Europe they have to go via Sweden and then I think the Swedish postman walks across the continent to deliver them :D so really less than three weeks is pretty good.

It is also true that you might find items that are cheaper elsewhere. The one big thing that keeps me faithful to FT is the free shipping. Buying from anywhere else (except other Chinese sources) would double or even treble my costs, depending on the country of origin. In some cases the shipping is much more than the cost of the item. Even on Amazon the free shipping above a certain order does not apply to me. There is no local Amazon so I still have to order from the UK. Then there is the other snag.. small things like Kanthal etc, not supplied directly by Amazon themselves, don't even ship to Malta. Living in a small, albeit beautiful island, comes with a price tag.

And I must say, FT have been very accommodating. I wanted the rebuildable section of the STM. They didn't carry it. I wrote to them. Within less than a week It was listed. I've just written them about providing the top and bottom caps of the Caravelas. They wrote back they would do their best. Let's see if and when they get them. :)

That was a problem for awhile, but I think they worked it out like a couple of months ago, when they came out with that "USPS expedited" option.

Yeah,i remember when they came out with that battery option in the shipping options.They have the best deal i've seen on the samsung 25r,so i definitely plan to pick those up.I wish they would of had the batteries that i needed this time,but i was getting some lipo batteries for a mod i'm building,and surprisingly they didn't have the ones i needed,fasttech has almost everything haha,but not on that one.

the good ol' tease tracking. after that processed through china message, beyond that is unknown til it arrives in the states :eek:, then it arrives at customs, which is unknown how long it stays there as well. The real fun/wait begins only once it leaves the stateside customs.
If it goes through customs in Chicago,it should move along pretty quick.My last several orders all moved through there in a day or less,usually just a few hours in and out.

Orange bottles, not green? :laugh:
Nice finds! :thumb: I like the audio cable.

Dunny why, but I don't really like any of the bottle cap colors :(
I just go for the ones in stock.

Already got a purple audio cable, too. They're quite neat. Not expecting any audiophiles to approve, but they're nice to have around. Hooking up a phone to an old radio and such.

Planning to make an order shortly with one of these

$16.50 Calvert Styled 18350 Mechanical Mod (1*18350 Mod, SS) at m.FastTech.com - FastTech Mobile

Seems the original is out of production (?)

Oh... the Evic tempcontrol thingy really caught my eye too.

I've had this one in my cart since it came out, for my incoming Aqua V2:
$22.82 Calvert Styled 18350 / 18650 Mechanical Mod (18350/8650 Mod, SS) at m.FastTech.com - FastTech Mobile
Something about the singles that I didn't like: looking at the pics, looks like the switch on the one in the set lines up better when it's idle, probably because of the smaller magnets. Plus I want 18650.

Rocky Mountain Vapor has a 25% SUMMER15 discount + special on the subtanks and that brings it down to the clone price. Free shipping + free bottle of eliquid. For some time now, I've been able to successfully match or undercut FT's pricing stateside on a lot of stuff. There are exceptions......

Thanks for the tip.... just snagged a subtank mini for $22.50 shipped. Looks like it should be fun!

RMV has high volume sales. You could ask them but I'd be surprised if it wasn't the latest available. They sell out regularly and in a couple of days, they have new stock. Vape Super Saver does high volume and seem to have the latest in stock.

i really want that FT Micro Stick, but I'm also tempted by the 26650 Continental mainly due to bigger battery size. How to choose?
