Hi All - Fast Tech Question

[mazz]

Hi all,

I have used Fast Tech for some time, but was just wondering if anyone knows if it's 'business as usual' with them? I ordered some coils on 5th May but having just logged in it seems they haven't even been sent yet.

I also usually order Deluxe Tobacco Flavor, 24mg/ml liquid from them in bulk and I could do with getting an order in. But the only postage option is China Post which I'm not entirely confident in at the best of times. Has anyone had any recent experience with them? And if there's an issue, any other suggestions as to where I can get my liquid for a decent price?

Welcome to you mazz .

Have you spotted our China Shopping Board where there's a couple of threads running regarding deliveries : allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/42/shopping-china

The best advice any of us can give you is to avoid if at all possible, or only order if you're in no rush for the item(s) as you've to be prepared for a wait . . . . most likely a long one. China might be open for business, but it's far from the normal we know.

I placed an order with them last week for a vaping friend and I'm anticipating at least a two month wait if not longer - any quicker will be a bonus. Although I used British Express Shipping, which is an option you don't have with eliquid.

Could be Hangsen your Deluxe Tobacco so it might be worthwhile googling for any UK suppliers of the flavour.

Hi Perpetua and thank you for the link.

As it happens, I do have enough supplies for a good 2-3 months and so could wait. But the trouble is the uncertainty as to if it will arrive at all so I guess you're right, probably best avoided and to find an alternative.

I think you're right that it is Hangsen Deluxe Tobacco, although it says 'Hangda' on the bottle. But I've definitely had Hangsen before and it seems to be the same stuff to me? I have searched UK suppliers, but the problems are that the prices are so comparatively high and also that they are bound by silly (in my opinion) EU rules, i.e fiddly little 10ml bottles and unable to supply 24mg.

I was kind of hoping to find a way around these issues but I guess it's just one of those things and a sign of the times?

Yes, one work around is to buy the concentrate and mix your own mazz - we'd guide you through it.

72mg nicotine base is still available if you look in the right places.

This didn't seem too bad a deal for 200ml ( just decant all those pesky 10ml bottles into something larger ) . . . . although 18mg is the highest strength allowed under the TPD. Might be an opportunity to have a go reducing your nic strength perhaps?

By the by . . . . if you combined 10ml of your 24mg and 10ml of 18mg - that would give you overall an overall strength of 21mg, which you might not find quite such a step down.

fwiw orders should arrive eventually.. I made a couple of orders in advance of the pandemic that were delayed due to restocking (my bad) They were eventually shipped at the worst time.. Both did eventually arrive, the 2nd was last week.

So if you do order just prepare to be extra patient and all should be good..
