How do you buy coils off FT? I've never had a need for pre-built ones but find myself needing a few packs now. I tried to buy with PP and CC but no go.
Thanks!
Is it for Aspire Coils? If so...

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.

Lol what a racket - found this on FT site

"For best results, Question CHANGED onto a Statement...'How to CREATE a Gift Certificate'1. Person to already have a PayPal account. (Not available just by credit card)2. Buy anything listed in the FastTech Website, check out as normal, then IMMEDIATLY CANCEL that item.3. When cancelling the item, select option, 'Refund Via Gift Certificate'4. Your new Gift Certificate has a number and is stored in your account.5. You don't need to spend the total certificate value at once, change is given, then returned to your account."

And this - guess I'm not a priority - who'da thunk...

"Only priority customers can purchase gift certificate for themselves or others. Once you become a priority customer, the "buy gift certificate" will appear in your account. There are a few ways to gain priority access. The most obvious one is to come back and keep placing orders. Other ways include participation in the forums."

Ok guys thanks for the tips :)

Buy something else of equal or greater value with paypal, cancel the order and refund to GC. Buy coils with GC.
Aspire doesn't like FT because they sell below MAP, so they got paypal and the credit cards to block aspire purchases... but they can't block it if you buy with GC.

No prob, I just learned that secret here a little while ago since I've never tried to order any aspire stuff. Now that you're officially in the club, I totally forgot to remind you about the sale on the 4th. 15% off, so if you don't mind waiting a few extra days (it'll be weeks before you get the order anyway!) and it hasn't shipped yet, you may want to cancel that order and do it again on Monday.

I've been shopping at Fasttech for several years. Always wondered what those 'rebate points' are. I've searched and searched for some way to redeem these things but find nothing. Is it necessary to be a "priority customer"? If so, how many years or dollars must be spent to be considered a good customer?

Rebates are .01 point for every dollar spent, and they (in theory) expire in a year. Plus .15 for every review you write on a product you've ordered. You can only redeem them after you get to 10 points, and I think you have to write customer service for that. Check them by looking at the top where it says Hello, *yourname* It's one of the options under your orders.
Priority status is a mystery, but people think it has to do with how long you've been a customer, how many reviews you write, and participation in the forums. AFAIK, it just means you can buy GC and you may get customer service questions answered a bit faster.

Too much hassle. I could get 15 dollars according to them, but I'm a stubborn old coot and ain't jumpin' through no hoops. Maybe if the page gets long enough someone will clean it up.
Hey if you don't want your points, you could always tip them to me. :p
