Just another point, when buying cheap knock off's sometimes you can come unstuck, had atties where the quality of thread meant they went in bin in UK when they should have seen bin in China, it's a gamble, but when it's only a few dollars well take the risk, would not do it with anything over $5 buy the original then.

I haven't had much luck with fast tech but other chinese vendors (health cabin and heaven gifts) have been fab... I still order from fast tech. Am just picky. favourite thing to order from fast tech is drip tips 5 for $3.50 or so rather than one from the UK for £2 plus £2 postage..... Clones wise see above. I have two taifun gs clones which may well be better than my original taifun gs. I got from UK about £30 each (cheaper in china) and the original was £100...still....clones just as good if not better than original And don't forget clones of mobiles for your kiddos . Save a packet. So long as a mobile can play games, text and phone (and all it'll need to do that is a cheap micro sd card) why worry?

Had nothing but a good experince from fastech, as been said read the reviews and if your unlucky and get bad one take a picture and raise a ticket. Had a tank that was DOA, glass broken, they offered refund or replacement within 12hrs.

Agree with the aboves. If you read the reviews and the discussions you are less likely to get a dud than ordering something from Tesco click and collect. As Mart says the threads can be a weak area and if the original isn't excessively priced it maybe a better buy as it will last much longer. Its a good idea to get some SS M2 and M2.5 screws from eBay if you are buying anything that says "some of the minor parts may not be SS" - packs of 50 aren't much more than packs of 10 and you won't fret when a screw does a runner. I avoid anything with brass pins as it may not be lead free brass. Edit brass 510 connectors are fine.
I get most of my stuff from Fasttech and if I want to buy something non-vaping, I check to see if FT sells it.

For some strange reason UK HMRC ignore anything from China unless it comes via DHL or similar 24 hour service. Whereas anything from USA attracts mega attention and added tax/VAT etc. I hate ordering from USA for that reason.
