    Fast tech has no bearing on what a price might be in the US, most of what they sell is low quality and extremely cheap. Plenty of batteries work just fine in mechs and especially in regulated mods. Would be silly to be limited to those if you can take 5 minutes to learn about the type of battery you are using.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge, anything that's labeled 'authentic' on FastTech is genuine, and isn't lower in quality to gear you'd get anywhere else. The reason why I point people to them is because they are cheap. Many people I have recommended vaping to in the past have been put off by the cost of the initial investment in gear, and it's great that for $50, you can now get a decent starter kit. Also, for those that do not live in the US, it's the most convenient/affordable place to get gear (especially batteries) because most US vendors do not ship internationally or have a $40 shipping fee.

      Agree, but many people do not take the time to learn about battery safety (you still see people asking about using xfire batteries) and others may get overwhelmed when looking at something like this. I mentioned the 25R and VTC4 because they are two of the more common batteries that are suitable for vaping. The 'avoid everything else' line was included because there are vendors out there that push unknown rewrapped batteries, or brands like Efest (once regarded as decent, readily available batteries, which have been shown to be unreliable).
