What the deal with Fast Tech?

[Thrasher]

Poor girl, I don't think I've had an order go over 13-14 days shipping except for the postal problem last year.

And yes you have to be careful there's now a couple west coast supply houses and shops coming close to fasttech prices on some items, they just will never be able to match selection. Right now fasttech has 1800+ mech mods listed.

About once a week I pop in and hit the " last 7 days" button and see what's new.

Smok Galileo is my daily driver when I'm home. LOVE that mod. Almost bought a backup from FT but the reviews stopped me as well.

I maintain all my stuff and with FT often a 10 pack of something is lest then one locally so I have bins full of spares. people I know will look at a Natilus tank and go "boy I'd be screwed in that broke". I say order one from FT for like a buck. They don't and who's door are they knockin on when it drops?? So I sell them a tank for 2 bucks. Long way to rich of coarse but I try to makes others vaping life seemless so they stay off the stinkies. Without FT I could not afford to be such a nice guy.

$25 at hoosieerecigs.com right now. I agree, I'm plumb tickled with mine; outstanding mod.

I'm equally puzzled by those who don't keep backups for their backup's backup. It's like they just WANT to fail and go back to smoking. I let my husband know early on that I was going to have lots of vape gear, in the interest of it always being easier for me to vape than to go buy cigarettes.

just read the reviews and discussions on the fasttech forums on each product.
99% of what I have is from fasttech and 99% of that is perfect, the costumer service though slow is outstanding and they have always fixed my issues and refunds

it is a great vendor but you need to make your homework

I have ordered Kanger coils and O-rings without issue.

fast tech is a great sight yes some of the stuff is great but that why you look at the comments the specs and look up a video of the item if there are no reviews and not videos then just dont buy it alot of the stuff on there is made great. and they do have returns if you not happy with the item so you cant loose really. i bought $10.30 Orchid V3 Styled Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2.5-3.0ml / stainless steel + PC tank at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and the $19.05 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod (Mixed Edition) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping and the threads are great build really well nice and heavy dont feel cheap at all and the orchid is the best tank i ever bought. 99% of the clones and smoke and all that stuff you buy came from there any way just marked up alot. its just like any other site you always want to read the reviews and do your research on any item you buy. its a great place to get deals strait from the manufacture.

you can buy bull.... from usa vender's to only difference is you payed bout 20-50 bucks more and it was sold as is or no refunds fasttech will refund you or send a replace ment no questions ask i buy all kinds of stuff from there all you have to do is do a little home work like you would do regardless.

bought the vamo 20w from there to works like a charm no problems what so ever and got it for 18 bucks vs the 60-75 bucks they where going for at the time. bought the kayfun the atty dripper king mod sting ray hana mod 2 more orchid tanks cause there that good and bunch of other stuff i bought like 3-4 mods and 5 diff tanks and bout 6 drips tips and spent 96 bucks do that on a usa site lol

 

[vapero]

fasttech is the biggest vape store in the world AFAIK they have 28,454 items! so of course there are great products and bad products just based on the size

here is a rule of thumb
if you want a mech or a rebuildable tank just look at the reviews/discussions and you can get a perfect device

if you are looking for something with a chip, you are probably better getting the ones that say authentic on the title but I could be wrong as I don't have anything with a chip

 

[akr-]

im a big fan. not only from fasttech, but also from gearbest and others as well... sometimes it is risky, when you buy a new device with electronics... the early dna chipset clones for example... but regarding atomizers, i usually look real close to the pictures and always what i payed for. i even buy my authentic devices like the eleaf lemos from them.
for me as student more than perfect.

I've done business with fasttech.com and they're awesome. I recently received my first mech and rda. Nemesis and plume veil clones. Awesome fast shipping 1 1/2 weeks. Both clones work perfectly. Bought 2 vtc3 and they work perfectly. Bought an ohm reader and 28g kanthal a1 and IT works awesome. Also a 200 ct muji. I'm getting an rta soon. The squape, lemo, or Kayfun v4. And I'm guessing they'll be ok

 

[Stopfakn]

Just read the reviews also

 

[nikolis2000]

well everything i try to buy from FT i try to be Authentic.They have better prices.Its like you buy from the source.You donta pay the extra resellers profit.If you buy clone look for the reviews.all my clones from there work fine.if not out of the box with some modification

I won't put in my 2 cents about my experiences with fast techBut I will about the batteries. Just because they have the same wrapping and lettering (both really faked with battery heat shrink tubes and a printer) doesn't make them real. The problem isn't just with fast tech. I have bought fake MNKE 26650 of Amazon. Fully charge they drop 1 volt on a 1 ohm coil. My real ones dropped. 1 volt and then went back to normal. These were 3 second tests. I have a background in electronics and can do basic test. Most batteries you will buy on fasttech will be made our have the name fire in them. Look online on you tube about the"fire"line of batteries. The clones. Approach it with a"if is to good to be true" attitude. Me personally I've thrown away for various reasons most of the tanks I got from fasttech. Usually a screw or something would break or bend rendering it useless. Then you bring the file or and realize that"stainless steel" isn't so stainless but a coating. I would stay clear and buy from reputable stores on this forum, fastech excluded

 

[Thrasher]

Well the real issue is you should have known better then to buy a battery on the amazon market place. Lol

if it says authentic it is. I have he2 and panasonic 2900pd/pf from them, 2 years later the panny still runs exactly like the one I got from rtd for 2x the price

And contrary to what a lot of people think fasttech been selling batteries long before vaping was a thing.

You have to be careful you dont buy 2nds or ones marked as is. But if it says samsung authentic it really is.

I've bought $1600 worth of e-cig stuff from FT over the last year and a half. 21 orders, I've had one drip tip missing the center hole and one Vamo V2 with bad threads in all those products. FT made them good and paid shipping for both initial delivery and returns. I've bought batteries from FT for both myself and family members. I'm currently vaping Panny batteries that I bought approximately a year ago. I cant talk to the experience others have had but mine have all been positive.
All that said, I do a little research before buying. Read the reviews and check the FT forums.
Orders take on average 21 days from order to delivery (items that are Out Of Stock take longer).
YRMV, but that's my story (and I'll swear to it).

Not as cheap as what they used to be. A lot of authenic stuff you can get in the us cheaper.

I used to use them soley, now i basically only use them for cheap knock off stuff.

Their warranty is cryptic, while their cs is good their engrish on the warranty allows loop holes for them. What westerners read means something differnt to them.

I do buy my dekang from them, most of it is good and cheap but there have been a few issues where i have reordered and a differnt liquid turned up. I.e the watermelon was clear with a slight yellow, the most recent stuff i got was pinkish and tasted different. I still have some and its not as nice so i doubt ill oorder that again. I would put this down to manufacture batch though

 

[Spencer87]

Fasttech has an american shipping and recieving branch.
When you do encounter duds, you send it back and they refund you the money for the shipping either by paypal or store credit.
Most of the time what you get is alright. Ive bought countless clones. A couple sucked, most were good. I also bought authentic from them. Only issue is they take forever to get to you. If you dont mind waiting the extra week, and look at the reviews, you should be ok.
their customer service is pretty decent though, if you do encounter problems, they will help you...

 

[Phassat]

Be careful there. I have six of their Orchids, and use them exclusively. They work, if you treat them right, and the price is right.

I also have Orchid from Fasttech. Dirt cheap at $10 compared to my local vendor who try to sell the same clone at $50.

The do leak when put in sleep position overnight but other than that, it works. Since authentic rta getting cheaper with good performance, I have used the authentic one.

Edit: the deck that I received from Fasttech was having issues with its thread. I think the size was tad smaller and would be a problem in most mech mod after few weeks. I claim and they did replace the deck for me.
Afterward when i start buying vw, i just realized that either deck works fine with vw but not gripping with mechs ... So i guess its just the way it is and i didnt get bad deck ti begin with

 

[Sotakone]

Kayfun clones are ok (i have couple those), NEVER order batteries from fasttech, bad quality and shipping time is almost always longer.
