Got my first shipment from the USA.

Post by chinoy »

All I can say is that my mind is blown. By the quality.
I had planned to put on sale a lot of the stuff. But this is so good Im going to wait for my stuff from fast tech to arrive.

everything is made China. You can buy from China. Or you can buy from the USA the same china stuff.

Things I realized after getting this shipment.

a. There is no comparing the quality of the liquid between what you get in India and what you get from the USA.

b. Big Tabaco has already won / shafted the e-cig business and user community. They did it in a very easy and very convenient way.
They just baned the sale off anything with more than 2% of Nicotine. So now the real cigi has no competition. I feel heavy smokers need higher dostage off nicotine to quit.
Smoked some high quality liquid 24 MG/ML from the US. It was the strangest exp. I have ever had. The rush goes straight to the head.

That was one thing I noticed with e-cigs that I tried...unlike analogues, there's no 'hit' to the head, doesn't exactly clear the head and instantly (and temporarily) make the world a brighter place the way analogues do :D

Motor that is only because you have not tried quality nicotine in the right strength.

Regular smokes need 24 Mg/Ml at the very least.

Trust me the day you try the right stuff. Its like a smoking exp. you could never even dream of having on an analogue.
Its hard to put into words.

But big Tabaco has made it hard because they say its not legal to sell anything more than 20 MG/ML.
Its ok to sell Bidis, Cigars, and high nicotine tabaco products. But when it comes to e-cig they want to make sure e-cig never really becomes a challange to them.

I think they will loose. In the end people will figure out whats going on. And there will always be somebody who is willing to sell you 24 MG/ML e-juice.
Come over while I still have some stock left of the good stuff from the US. And have a hit. It will blow your mind.
Know anybody coming in from the US. Ask them to carry some e-juice for you. I think the shit being sold in India is diluted.

After 24 MG from some companies. Im sure I will be disappointed with a regular analogue smokes.
Chk todays news pappers. Big Head Lines. E-Cig causes cancer or some bull shit. But then when you read the article it says only happen when you use high power Mod Tanks and super heat the coils.
Big Tabaco is getting desperate man. They know they dont stand a chance against this.

Motor saare, you are mixing up vapour concentration and volume. Lung capacity doesn't change whether you draw on one or ten.

I found a guy who will door deliver 36 MG/ML for under Rs 450/- per 10 ML.
So much for Indian FDA rules LOL.
I also figured out something if the thought of going back to regular analogues even enters your mind. It just means your body is not getting the Nicotine levels it is craving.
Im trying to line up my own supply off 100Mg/ML. That way I just need one toke to get my nictone.

Motor if you want to get serious about this you have to move to Tanks. Even if its a cheap CLone Tank. On the cheap the Kanger T2 clones are good.
For serious money 10$ lol. The Pro Tank 2 Mini wins my nod for best Clearomiszer.

So true about the nicotine..strong enough nic hit and the craving is gone. Smokes a cig after vaping and thought- man this does'nt fell half as good as it used to

Be careful with going overboard on nic.. things can go bad.

t2 clone user here.. works well. Even tried some diy ejuice on it. 100% laboratory glycerin + rose +vanilla flavouring. negligible gurgling.
Though if you want to go all out, try the genesis mod. vape production on this looks ridiculous. And they are easy to rebuild

dude top coils will never have gurgling.
Gurling is when you have a bottom coil and juice leaks into the breathing tube.
Not going to happen on a T2.
Diy on any Tank will gunk up your coil. And performance will taper off.
They was 275/- for a replacement coil for the T2. So I just rebuilt mine and am waiting for new coils from fast Tech. I suggest you get an order in for the T2 Coils. 5 units is like 2$.
Also order some wick 2mm and 3mm. And some coil wire get 30 gauge.

im thinking of ordering a whole bunch of stuff once i do receive my first fasttech order
upto 10 ego batteries
1-2 vamo v5's
a whole bunch of 100ml eliquids
2xkanger t2+atomizers
Kanger t3d (dual coil)+ atomiers
maybe a russian 91%- http://vapormods.com/russian-91/
a lotta friends have shown interest in e-cigs.
will order em separately. will separate batts, tanks and e-liquids.
how much juice did you order? ive read packages with more than 5 bottles have a difficult time at the ports.
also, chked out mfv. wholesale is cheap. 1 liter costs rs10,500. although using the whole liter will be hard.
im ready for 100ml. anyone interested in a group buy?
I would've really liked to order kanthal wire. but they just dont sell it
any idea if kanthal wire and silica wicks can be sourced locally?

edit: saw the t3d review. any recommendations as to what i should order instead of it?

Have you got anything on sale? Too much variety and I don't really know what works and what doesn't. Importing from China via postal service is frustrating, takes months and could end up being rubbish.

I'm interested in a ready-to-go kit, flavored/unflavored are both fine. Just recharge and go.

and im interested in some liquids..
@cyanide- kits dont need much maintenance. Clean coils once or twice a week or replace. recharge everyday for 2hrs. refill and use.
Cleaning coils may sound like a chore but takes 2 mins. Rebuilding coils, which is only required if you dont wanna spend on replacement coils, takes 10 mins.

Like I said Ive placed a huge Order with Fasttech.
I too thought I would space out the orders over a period off 1 week.
I only placed my next order after they indicated that the last one had shipped.

But now if I go an check. I see that they have bunched all my orders into one order and shipped it out together.
The shipment reached India on the 5th. It has still not reached me. Which means customs has held it. And they will do their usuall drama to get their usual bribe.
Im not going to even fight them. What ever bribe they want I plan to just pay it and clear my order.

Once the order is cleared we will take it forward.
Some cities report no issues with customs.
Some cities like Bangalore have a very very hard time with customs.
Best bet is to find a city where customs are less anal or corrupt and ship it to that city.

There is no doubt that huge huge quantities of stuff is entering the Indian Market.
There is no doubt that every seller in the Indian market is selling what ever strength they like. Other than litejoy every single vendor in the Indian market will sell you 36 Mg/ML. Which is more than enough to have you flying high as a kite.
Nobody in their right mind will want to go back to smoking if they get the good nicotine.
I have been experimenting cant share the details. But yes I have no doubt in my mind that nicotine is a very dangerous mind altering Narcotic drug.
My only tip to all you guys be very very careful.

If you can get by with just an e-cig with a carto and some drops to top up the carto do that.
Tanks get you into the danger zone.
Mods and tanks take you into the danger + Zone for sure.

All this talk about vape qty etc mean nothing.
You can blow you mind with one tiny tiny puff with little or no smoke if the nicotine content is high enough.

You only crave smoke when your not getting enoughf nicotine.
Once you get pure nicotine. Trust me all you need is one puff with a tiny bit of smoke to be totally satisfied.

I used to think Ill smoke zero nic just to enjoy the smoke. Who are we kidding. There is nothing to enjoy in smoking. Or in inhaling flavored smoke.

Pranav. Get a nice 1000 mah bat like the ego twist. Should be getting in a few when my shipment clears customs.
Then get your self a nice tank. T2 is cheap and best. On the high side Pro Tank 2 / 3 mini. And get some e-juice in 2-3 flavors that is all you need.

If you cant wait. Esutta have committed a 20% discount to RDD members. Wait for the promo code and order it from them.
If you know somebody coming in from the US ask them to carry in stuff for you.
China and US prices have almost leveled out.
It will happen in India also.
I predict there will be tons of people importing and selling stuff at low margins. This is bound to happen.
This thing is going to be big and its going to explode.
There is not a single smoker who has converted to e-cig who will ever go back to the real thing. Its just so so stupid to smoke a regular cig.
To *bleep* your lungs, your stamina and such high cancer risk for some piddly qty of nicotine. When you can get 10 times the hit with one puff from an e-cig.

Wow.. someone changed his religion. from analogues to digi. lol.
The part i love most about e cigs is the lack of drama. No smell.. no taste. Can smoke almost anywhere. and i dont need to pop mints to get rid of taste & smell
20% off on esutta makes the prices tempting. Thanks for this offer. i asked em if they'd offer any discount and they said only 10% on 10 or more items.
this is what my fasttech tracking no. says

That means they haven't even shipped it lol.
Things are cool now. But wait and watch as this grows. The scene will change over night.
India is famous for aping the USA.
In the USA e-cig stuff is already attracting a duty off 95% And is being baned in many states.
This present scene is not going to last for very long.

I just may wake up one day and switch to Gum. Long run thats the only form the Govt cant touch.
