I don't recall this coming up before in this thread. Have any other consumers that shop fast tech been hit with these Duty Rates? Factoring this in would definitely change the perspective of shopping all of these great deals from F.T.

I posted the rules for the US here a day or two back. I think it's $200 limit or $100 for gifts before it gets charged US import tax.

Paying 25-90% off retail prices with the off chance of your country charing your import tax and only if you go over your countries set limits is still in every way better than the alternative.

Sounds good,so this means its better too split up the order too 20 bucks and under for each one too avoid the charges?..seems stupid for govts too do this.Seems like we spend most of lives trying too save a buck,im sick of all this money horse hockey.

Canada limit is stupidly low, but the import tax is usually a business thing, and if you run a business is it is cheaper and more effiicient to order in bulk with the discounts that gets and the cheaper shipping from one large order and to pay the tax than try to dodge it by placing stupid amounts of small orders each with the paperwork involved in invoicing etc.

If this is the case,goodbye Fasstech.

You may as well say goodbye to all "out of country" vendors too in that case, because it really looks like it is a matter of "luck".. could happen to anybody at any time. :)

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's right for US. That is a per day also if I'm not mistaken.

After like 10 orders i got hit with taxes for only one of them(MVP from FT), had to pay around 60% of the FT price. I'm in Uruguay tho, so even if they stopped all my orders it would be better than other options :)

On another topic, i need one of those long drip tips asap :p

Wow, nice...
Just an "in my experience" post - those ready built coils and wicks in the iGo-L are horrible - had a really bad plasticky flavor I couldn't wash or burn out. I just ended up taking them out and putting in some of my own. (yes it took me like 2 hours as I am a complete noob to RDA's but it was worth it)

To ask the noob question about RDAs. THe 2 new ones fasttech listed today are dual coils. DO you HAVE to set them up dual coil or can a noob like me set them up single coil until I get the hang of this?

You can set them up as single coils. Dual is an option, not a necessity.

Thanks !

I plan on microcoiling it when my brain is less fuzzy from being up for 15 hours on 4 hours of sleep.

Oh, enjoying a microcoiled protank (1.2 ohms) on the V3 Mod with DIY DRY4
