I prefer fast tech, but be careful that it says in stock or ships next day, anything else means it's out of stock and could be a long time before shipping.
They're all fine though.

I’ve used both FT and 3f and haven’t had issues with either, just make sure you pay the $1 something extra for faster delivery.

So 3fvape is good? The Berserker I'm ordering soon is slightly cheaper there than at either elementvape or MVS.

3FVape, Fast Tech, and Heavens Gift are all Chinese companies, so ship times will include a proverbial and possibly a literal slow boat from China and customs delays. Gear best goes on the same category, although I think they and heavens gift may have some items in US warehouses? Would have to check that.
The reason I prefer FT is first selection, and second, it may take a long while but they are good at clearing up problems.
Wasp Nano? FT.
I can't remember where I got the DB2, FT as well maybe.

I’ve personally always had good luck with them, hank got me to try them out and I haven’t looked back since. It’s my go to place when I want something but not in a pinch for.

Yeah, I may not wanna wait that long; I already have to wait just to order it, for my CC"s statement to post, then for the payment I make to post.
I may order from MVS; they're kinda slow to process orders, but at least US, and they also have vape bands, which I need desperately if I'm gonna be sporting a glass tank again instead of just titanium (Achilles), and elementvape doesn't seem to have those.Andria
Indeed, the Chinese vendors are better for things you'll need eventually, not now.Yeah, I may not wanna wait that long; I already have to wait just to order it, for my CC"s statement to post, then for the payment I make to post.

Speaking of vendors, I recently found another vendor for 317L, that makes two in Missouri with negligible mail times for me.
I, my Inbox, and my Sx350J squonker are all very happy with this.
My FT orders usually take about 10-12 days.
Domestic orders take about a week less typically. But I pay for shipping too.
Bull City for flavorings is the fastest in 3-4 days.

I've had similar results from FT...quickest was 6 days longest was 18.
Nicotine River for me on flavorings, in state delivery...Simi Valley to San Diego...normally 2 days.

That beach looks so beautiful!!!!
Fanboy? Well, I guess I like them....a lot. The v1 has a shoulder that the cap/top rests on, I believe were made by a phillipino company. The v2 doesn't have that shoulder and the cap/top covers the entire base. The v2 was made in the US.
V1 on the left, V2 on the right. The only other difference I can see is the threaded part of the 510 is shorter on the V1 than on the v2.
I better clarify, the 510 is but the same length on both versions but the v1 has fewer threads. You can see from the picture, the v2s threaded part is almost twice as long.

Sweet! I have a bare V2 deck, now I need to find internals for it.
You gotta love it! Let me know if you want to fiddle with the "Mickey Mouse" coils (@The Cromwell named them) aka Tricro coils. I'll be happy to send you a couple of pairs.
If anyone is getting the dna 75c bf therion, the regular therion doors without the squonk hole fit, just in case you want to use it for tanks or a dripping rda that you don't have a squonk pin for and don't want to see the bottle. I've been getting into rta's a bit lately so I picked up a regular door from FT for 11$.
Thank you for that info. The better question is if the doors from Therion BF 75 fit on the Therion 75C.

It is one thing to sell 'Styled" items, quite another to claim it is original. I really don't have a dog in this fight but I would hate for anyone to get a YFTK Haku and think it authentic.I know it is - but the drawings on FB and clones of the Haku are what caused the big

Even better 3f said that if you can't wait for the clone, you can click their link to buy the original on their site
That is the YFTK clone for $19.99 preorder
What they should get is that "You're #1" finger sign @JuicyLucy keeps showing the FDA in her signature.Right, and they said their link takes you to the authentic on their site.

I left my 2¢ on the post about the giveaway. Namely that the wording they chose makes it fraud, in the legal sense much less the moral sense.

Their link that says original (not authentic) goes to YFTK original. YFTK is a cloning company - but that would be enough to fool people that don't know that YFTK is a clone manufacturer like SXK and Tobeco
That is a blatant misrepresentation, and pretty much, if they don't retract it, will keep me from buying anything from 3F anymore.
I trust Fasttech, because time and time again, when something says "Authentic" on Fasttech, it IS authentic.
When it's not, it says "Style".
3F's link to the "original" Haku is a link to a clone.
It's fraud to call that the original, whichleads me to distrust every claim in their descriptions...

Saying Authentic YFTK Haku and Original YFTK Haku are both misleading statements - unless the designers in the US used YFTK to manufacture their original design and now YFTK is undercutting the designers
Any of those scenarios are deceptive

That is pretty much what I said in their posting.
That would be bad enough.
But a couple other things bother me. YFTK's name doesn't appear in any of the link paragraphs.
That is fraud. Doesn't matter that YFTK appears elsewhere on the page.

I don't really have an opinion about this Haku business, except that it sounds like 3f is trying to pull a fast one. However I have a question about a couple of RDAs, and wondered if any of you squonk experts might be able to help.
I was recently PIFed a huge box of many different atomizers and all their paraphernalia; today I discovered that along with quite a few different versions of various Kayfuns, there were also 2 RDAs, about which I know very little. I wondered if either of them might be able to be used as a BF atty, if there might be 510 pins for that, for these two.
One is called the Crown RDA, and yeah, it looks like a crown. It's got several pairs of airholes, and the smallest pair are VERY tiny, so it might just possibly suit my need for very tight draw. The other is one of the low profile sort, called a Nectar Nano, and it also seems to be possible to reduce the airflow on it quite drastically. In some things I read about it, it's described as a genesis-style atomizer, and it does have a baffling assortment of round holes on the deck. I know absolutely zero about genny-style attys, and have no desire to learn, but I wondered if it could be used as a regular RDA, and/or, if it might be BF-able.
Any clues?
Thx!!

I have exactly one time seen a fake listed as authentic on Fast Tech.
They got duped by counterfeit intellichargers, sold as authentic, and when they found out about it they spent a couple hours verifying what happened and fixed the situation.
Sure, returns and whatnot with FT can be slow. But they will usually get the problem fixed.
And I think it's funny they sell marital aids on the same site, but some people wouldn't consider that a bonus like I do.
@AndriaD
I actually have something for this! With a little work but more reliable than hoping to find a random pin that will fit.
The positive pins are usually 2.5mm, or 3mm. The tricky part is getting a BF pin that's the right length.
Ventilated machine screws are available in metric sizes.
Here's links to packs of 10 of each size on Amazon. It's a bit over $2 a piece from there, but a bit of digging could probably find them cheaper. Anyway, you figure out how long you need, and cut off the rest. A dremel would be perfect, but a hack saw would work for that step. You would probably want to sand the head down as well.

For the plug and play solution, Fast tech also carries squonk pins if you're not in a hurry. There's a lot to pick from there though.

Ok, thanks guys. All this squonking stuff is a totally new world to me, but I've wanted to learn more about it, maybe try it, for a long time; since there's a bit of breathing room from the FDA now, maybe I'll have a chance.
I guess the best way to find out if that Nectar Nano could be used as a regular RDA (rather than a genny-style) is to just put a coil in it the usual way and see if it vapes.

Had a wild weekend. Rally was fun but a little "mild" for my taste. Vendors were sort of lacking especially food vendors. Good thing there are plenty of places to eat in Ruidoso. Saw a bunch of deer so that was cool. Sat at 6pm I wound up losing my drive belt... No motorcycle shops were open and the vendor at the rally didn't have a belt. So, Thank god for pickup trucks. At least I got a little lucky at the casino. Turns out, It's almost exactly the price of a new belt!
Picked up this little BVB Vorbfish from a guy on a FB group, and man is this thing tiny. I am really liking this little fish 
Edit: forgot to mention the Zion rda . Been using this rda for about a month and love it. It's single coil 22 mm and a nice build deck.
