Worth it every way you look at it.
I haven't purchased anything except cotton and the rare juice at a store in a long while. Better prices, and I can wait 3-7 days for a product to save $5-30+.

I dont mind waiting 3 to 7 days. But i ordered a rda from fastech and it took almost 45 days to get it. When i finally received it i had forgot about it. Im not good at purchasing things online. Lol. I guess ill have to learn where you guys order from

If you want to avoid the craziest ship times Ive personally ever come across in any industry, you need to stay far far away from any Chinese vendors. If you want "normal" shipping times, you have to buy from US vendors. The trade off being many of the US vendors have higher prices. But when your talking about 3 weeks to a month being standard shipping time, Id much rather just pay an extra $10 or whatever.

Yes, I totally agree with you -- anticipation is a great thing, but I am terribly, horribly impatient. I once ordered a Kick ring from FT, because I couldn't find a brass-toned one anywhere in the US... it took 43 fucking days to reach me, and I swore, never again. Hong Kong shipping isn't too bad; usually around 10-14 days; much the same from Europe. I can pretty much handle a couple weeks... but 6 wks? No fucking way!

Fast tech. I knew it... Hold on let me stop laughing!!! Hahaha!
Not at you! At fast tech, the name itself is ironic.
Fast tech is Chinese based and will always take weeks to get there. 3-7 days is normal. I've only waited I think the most 10 days, and that was just poor timing lol.
Stay away from Chinese vendors as you've seen above. Fast tech. Lol what a name.

As much as I agree that 6wks is utterly ridiculous in this day and age.... I well remember the old days of "mail order"... and everything was "allow 6-8 wks for shipping and handling." Ain't it grand how technology has improved things? Except for FT of course, who are apparently still stuck in the 1960s.

FastTech really isn't bad at all as long as you're not in a hurry. I've ordered many times from them with no issues. The one time I had to return something they actually had a USA address in Florida so no shipping across the world. The place I really tell people to avoid is Gearbest.

Liionwholesale is in Pennsylvania, I'm in California, can't get much further of a ship than that, gets to me in 3-4 days (depends if it goes out that day or not I think). I want to say I ordered my set of HB2s on Thursday last week and I received them on Monday. International is a whole different ballgame, not only does the ship take a good 2 weeks from leaving their place, they also often list things as in stock when they aren't, so you have to wait a month for them to replenish the stock then ship it out and you end up forgetting what you even ordered by the time you get it.

And yeah @Wingsfan0310 Gearbest is notoriously bad, Fasttech is ehh, 3fvape surprised me though I've only ordered once there, less than 2 weeks, maybe I was just lucky but it was nice. Just can't beat china prices and availability sometimes.
Been rocking these coils in my Alliance V2+, on my Sig 150W TC for the past week, re-wicked it this morning, and tossed it on my RX200 (finally got a proper silicone sleeve, not those cheap ones with seams and shoddy edging)..........hits soooooo smooth at 100W, and flavor is on point! I'm a happy vaper right now
Fused Claptons
2x 24ga K1 + 27ga K1, 5 wrap 3mm ID
2x 22ga K1 + 32ga K1, 7 wrap 3mm ID
Both come in at roughly 0.25Ω, build comes in at 0.16Ω
(and yes, they both glow evenly, in unison, not in sequence)

I recommend the 25R's.

25r's are my favorite battery for many reasons. The 30q is a solid one as well, on par with the HG2 at 3000mAH and 20amp (says 15 but that's just samsung being overly caution like usual, the people I've seen test them all report them as 20amp). The 25r's are a step down on life (mAH) but again like Samsung likes to do they're more than a 20 amp, so with that they're safer and batter life isn't really anything I'd consider bad.
So if you need every bit of your battery life to get you through the day before you can swap them out or charge them, the 30q or LG HG2 are your go to batteries. If you don't have an issue with the slightly lower life the 25rs are just great. Personally when I stick to one device as my main vape for the day running ~100w I'll end up swapping out the batteries when I get home from work and they'll be at about 30-50% juice, then get another pair down like that through the evening and make the swap again in the morning. So I'd say roughly 10 hours of my usage (hard to nail things down with such subjective things) on the 25r's.

The 25R's are my 18650 of choice as well. I have also heard good things about the 30Q's. The 18650 battery link in my signature compares them to the LG HG2's favorably. The difference is more mah with less headroom in CDR. I guess it would depend on how you plan on using them. For example if you never planned to go over 10-15 (even up to 20 max) amps the 30Q's might work out better. I myself plan to get a set the next time I order 18650's to try out. All that being said I think the 25R's are a great compromise of CDR and mah. Here's the link:

Absolutely have heard some good things of the 30's.
I usually keep the 25Rs as my recommendation as they can handle most everything. Once someone who is just beginning their journey to vape safety learn a bit, they might find the 30's work better for their uses. But I recommend the 25R because even if you're going to use a Tube Mech or a 200Watt device, you'll be fine if you do something a little on the "crazy" end.
Either works.
Glad to see you ordered some solid batteries pal! 8 of em will last you quite a long while, unless you vape like Ray

With the 25R's, for my 2Ω/10w vaping, on the mod I use for my ADV, when I swap the batteries the next morning (I change batteries every morning before i start vaping for the day), the battery is still at about 3.7v; on my secondary mod that i don't hit as often, also at about 10w, I can easily get 2 days out of a 25R. That's why I love vaping at 2Ω, 10w.
I'm awaiting a pair of LG/HE2's, so I'll see how they compare.

Maybe it was too tight? No? I want to know what happened

I'm definitely saying user error but weird that it never did that before. With me tightening it the same tension as all the other times I've used it. Only thing different is juice type but idk... At least I was able to get it apart in time.

You are the only member i follow on this freaking forum so i check all the pics you post, one question keeps coming to mind constantly nagging me, what is your average monthly vaping budget and why are you so much into vaping like you are? i understand you are a technologist like me, vaping does not interest me all that much, why is it such a big time hobby for you?
I have no clue actually and the woman asks me that all the time also....I go through phases of things "Im really into" and those phases last some time...You are the only member i follow on this freaking forum so i check all the pics you post, one question keeps coming to mind constantly nagging me, what is your average monthly vaping budget and why are you so much into vaping like you are? i understand you are a technologist like me, vaping does not interest me all that much, why is it such a big time hobby for you?
I was into Alcohol and Drugs for my teenage years and got sober...then did R/C for years, then jumped into guns, then modding games, and I always jump in head first, learn all I can and then I perfect my skills in it then I usually loose interest and move on...
Ive had about 20 different under the table jobs that I jumped in just to develop skills I thought I would need if something happen to anything in my house and car.
Carpentry, Auto-body/Detailing, Airbrushing, Welding and Soldering, Plumbing, Masonry, Fast Food, Slow Food, Tech Consulting and Web design and intrusion (my current field).
I work at GE and not to gloat but I get paid handsomely for what I do...my vape budget is what most peoples house payments are..
I hated school when I attended and the only classes I specialized in were Psychology, Science, Math and History...After I graduated (barely) I for some reason felt the need to learn everything I could and did so on my own, then jumped into Stafford Tech Center and got a handful of certifications for Tech, Keyboarding and OS credentials.
