Im thinking about ordering an istick 50w from fasttech but I'm worried about the authenticity of the product. The site says it's an authentic product but I still worried it will be a clone. What do u guys think?
If you are concerned about your parcel taking upto a month to arrive then you should consider paying extra and buying your goods in your own country.

because they are scared to be caught with stock after legislation hits
Why NOT to order from FastTech...My Story...
I placed an order on march 6 for almost $50 worth of merchandise from them. Today is April 10 and I have no package! They shipped it, USPS received it but it appears to be lost... Unfortunately the local post office has told me to file an "International Claim" in order to get reimbursed for the money I spent as they are the ones that can not locate it. I attempted to file an International Claim only to be told that such claims must be started by the seller, not the buyer! I contacted FT about this part of the problem (contact #fifty billion regarding this situation) and was told that they don't do that...that they do not contact USPS and file claims...I don't know why not but I am furious! My children gave me $$ for my birthday so that I could purchase vape stuff (I live on a small fixed income and don't have the extra $$ to buy 'special' stuff).
FastTech took the money from my PayPal account on 3/8 and they have their money but I DO NOT HAVE MY MERCHANDISE!!!! It may not be due to a problem on their end, but they apparently are not willing to do what is necessary In order to start the claim process!!! (I am in the midst of fighting it out with them but it does not look like they are going to do anything about it so far!)
One would think that a company of their size could handle this by just getting the necessary documents to either begin the claim OR to prove I didn't receive the package and resend a new package (I even offered to pay the difference in cost for a signed receipt for them to ensure I get it in my hand this time by signing for it)
Losing the $50 is hurting me (when I have no merchandise to show for it and can't come up with additional funds to re-purchase the items) but I guarantee they wouldn't even feel it! There is NO WAY I can spare $50 to pay for the merchandise again and even if I could, if they won't file the claim (and I am not allowed to per USPS) then they should replace it, right?
We'll see...in the meantime, I had been gifted with several other vaping items for my birthday that I am unable to use until I receive the items I ordered from FT!
Oh, btw, everything else I've ever ordered from them has arrived in Massachusetts anywhere between 10 days from the day I've ordered to 30 days from the day they've SHIPPED the order (with the 8-12 day shipping method!) well, actually to NEVER RECEIVING THE PACKAGE AT ALL as in this case!
...And that is why YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE ORDERING FROM FASTTECH!
I have at least 10 vape shops within 10 miles of me and not 1 sells anything that isn't as LEAST triple the price of FT...
@cr ..do you work for the FDA, or some anti vaping org, or just own your own local shop?...because what U write is just BS..
Nobody is selling cheap now or clones because of pending POSSIBLE legislation that will take a few years to even get enacted if ever....and believe it when FT says its AUTHENTIC, because it is...if U ever shopped there and compared to other alleged Authentics, they're identical except for possibly the box or the manual......and USA vendors don't come close to Chinese vendor prices...I'd like to know where U even got that idea, because it so wrong....I have at least 10 vape shops within 10 miles of me and not 1 sells anything that isn't as LEAST triple the price of FT...for example I just bought a 2200mah battery at FT for $8, all my local vape shops want $35 for the same one, which I'm sure they bought at FT themselves......if you never shopped at FT, you really shouldn't be misleading people about them and trying to create misleading wrongful panic and paranoid theories about possible legislation that won't even affect most online vendor....things are authentic and cheap every where now because Chinese manufacturers have cranked up their quantities due to the large increase in the number of people who have learned of vaping and the numbers of quantities and sites now available for everybody....even AUTHENTICS....and USA vendors are trying to capitalize by marking up there Authentics and clones to prices so high , that smart people with some financial savvy will buy directly from China now and cut out many of these money hungry overnight lil vape shops that are in it ONLY for the quick buck..
BTW, FT sells many clones that are even better than some AUTHENTICS and for 1/3 the price or less..
I ordered a HANA clone box kit which took a month to get here to start with. shipping is a joke.
Leason learned. No more Fastech PERIOD.
