A lot of us here have ordered from fasttech (myself included, and I still do) but I decided to give Chinabuye a try last month. Before I order from any vendor, I google them extensively and read reviews, and I had read a lot of negative reviews for Chinabuye, but thought to myself, Well, they're a pretty big company, so there's bound to be some unsatisfied customers here and there. So I decided to give them a try and placed a small order. This:

CE4S-DTK 650mAh Detachable Electronic Cigarette with CE4S Clearomizer/LED Indicator/Flashlight - Black


I've had it almost a month now, and have had no problems with it. It's built fairly well, and performs fairly well, BUT, only if you're using a clearo or tank with coils rated 1.8ohms or lower.

So, in summary, I wasn't disappointed with what I ordered. They're just as inexpensive as FT, and, like I said, I wasn't disappointed with what I got, for the price. But be warned, their shipping is slooooowwww, it took a little over a month for me to get what I ordered, but hey, at least it was free shipping, just like FT.

Thanks mate. Always interested in looking at gadgets. Am having trouble finding the vape section. I did look at electric razors and saw a 5 head for like 25 bucks. I just bought a Norelco 1250x. Wonder how it would shape up to it. Maybe it would warrant a test run.

The e-cig stuff is under the 'Gadgets' category, believe it or not. When you first visit the site, click the "All Categories" thingamabob near the top of the homepage, on the left, and a drop-down menu will appear, with 'gadgets' near the top. The site threw me off, too, the first time I visited. :vapor:

Edit: Oh, and let us know how your purchase(or purchases) pan out. As I mentioned, this was the first and only thing I've ordered from them, so it's not much of a barometer to measure them by as a whole. At least not yet.

I guess it's the luck of the draw. I pulled the short straw. They sent me the wrong product and wanted me to pay USD10 to ship the correct product. Darn it! They made a mistake and I'm supposed to pay them to get the correct product?

You can't find their contact number or address anywhere in their site. Any product returns, you'll have to contact them thru email, and drag it out if them.

They're not a scam company in my opinion, but their business ethics sucks. I'm not the only one who had to pay more to get the correct product shipped.

Will do if I remember. I am kinda weird about purchases though. For some reason only buy vape related gear from China.. well except for that 50 cent hdmi cable that took 2-3 months to show up. I had even forgot I purchased it. My wife came to me when a plain vanilla package showed up with Chinese writing over all of it and said "What kinda trouble did you get in this time". I opened it and said oh that is my 50 cent hdmi cable I order a few months ago.

After 7 months of FT purchases think I am going to stick to stateside for the shipping unless I can absolutely wait. This last purchase from FT soured me.

I also have tried a few smaller Chinese vendors, wallbuys.com and focalecigs.com (affiliates), which has same prices as FastTtech (FT), but had better luck with shipping/ordering from wallbuys and focalecigs than I did with FT.....I have 4 orders on 28 Nov shipped with FT, that are still in China..and 4 orders with wallbuys and focalecigs from same date shipped 28 Nov , that have been delivered already to me in the US..all orders were ego batts and tanks etc..so another option , U may want to consider is wallbuys and focalecigs....I have a feeling FT had burned some bridges and not well received by postal in China, and that's why I did this lil 8 order test run...and the products and prices are all fairly equal in quality from all 3 of these Chinese vendors..and they all use Singapore Post, Swiss Post, Sweden Post, HK Post, China Post etc then USPS for shipping..

You're right, that does suck, having to pay shipping for their mistake.

I'll be checking them out as well, I can guarantee you that. I already spread my business around to 7 different stateside vendors anyway (my favorite so far is Simplyvapes).
