I'm not giving totally.
I think it'll cool down. fasttech prices were getting a little less desirable than they were 4-5 months ago. Seemed they were creeping up over the last few months. Maybe this will be a good check for them... not that they weren't still cheap, just seemed the prices were starting to be higher than days gone by.
I needed a break anyway. My better half is NOT pleased with the credit card statement.
Unless they get a Hammer clone, I'm not buying anything else until at least January.

Not only quick, but there are places in the world outside the US(i know, shocking!!! :p) that don't have B&M stores or US online stores don't even ship to.

B&M's will be everywhere soon. I remember the day when there weren't any here. I got so excited the first time I found a cheap $20.00 cigalike in a 7-11. I was overjoyed with the little piece of junk. I think I even wrote a little review about it when I bought it. That was back in 2010 sometime. Now there are B&M's in just about every city around here.

There are also places outside the US that have B&M's.

I know, you understood what i was trying to convey tho...

I also know there are online stores that send items everywhere in the world(particularly in europe and they are faster than FT most of the time), but for me and others, the whole FT "package" was great. Quick free shipping, good selection, etc.

I'm really happy for everyone that can buy locally, i know i would if i could :)

Just to illustrate my last post :p

Got my first order from FastTech today. I can't really say anything bad about it considering the price, other than I wish they were a little more clear with some labels. I ordered a 650mah Ego-V with the LCD and all... and it doesn't support the passthrough. According to someone else who made the same mistake, they say it's a safety issue. It wasn't labelled on the site as a passthrough, but you kind of assume since every other Ego-V ever made apparently can do it.

Battery itself works fine I guess, it seems to cause a tighter draw in my tanks though. The voltage buttons are a little odd and the LCD doesn't automatically light up when I fire it (no puff counter, which doesn't matter to me) so I end up having to lock the voltage and hit one of those buttons to see the battery display. When I said the buttons were odd, I meant when I try to lock the voltage by pushing them both, half the time it'll think I meant up or down if I don't push them at EXACTLY the same time. My other knock off Ego-V (1200mah?) that I got from a local store that does have the puff counter and passthrough, doesn't have that issue. I haven't used it enough to speak any more specifically on the quality, but I think I'm going to sell/trade/gift it to a friend and just order the hard button SLB version. I'm way more upset about that passthrough than I should be. After all if it wasn't for that, I would have just picked up a Spinner.

All in all, I'd order from there again and just pay closer attention.

Isn't Canada the 51st state? It should be green.

I took this pic when it came in as I was comparing size, it's the one in the middle. My camera sucks, I know.
SKU is 1346300
Sho nuff...shows it with a USB passthru end cap on it...
$17.91 EGO-V 650mAh USB Rechargeable Battery for E-Cigarette - adjustable voltages at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Just noticed something
http://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004043/1301302

Dang man that sux!

Wonder if that end cap is supposed to have a cutout for the USB port
Notice on this image...the port seems "sunken" in as in solid cap but should have been cut out

That's a USB mini not micro correct?
