    2300 Baht is the going price it looks from the Local shops. It is always going to be a higher cost from our local guys as they have to make a buck. No different from back home shopping at the brick and mortars. We pay a certain upcharge for the local warranties, the quick availability and to keep our local guys and local industry in business and growing. That and the cost straight from Fasttech is only $10 cheaper....not nearly double. Make sure it isn't a knockoff you're looking at.

    Authentic:
    $54.31 Authentic Kanger SUBOX Mini Black Starter Kit - 1*18650 / 4.5ml / 0.5ohm / 7-50W at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    and the knock off:
    $38.57 SUBOX Mini Styled Starter Kit - 7-50W / 4.5ml / 0.5ohm(15-60W) / 1*18650 / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    Haha, i cannot link it that is why.. hmmmm i want to verify that product cause it looks little different from kangertech main site. You can just go to the madeinchina site and check out that kangertech subox , they have it there too. But i find it look different so my question was is it original and it is only $38.90


    By the way i already send a line message to check out with big.

    It says high imitation on the madeinchina website so that is a knockoff

    Welcome to the forum Avion.
    Honestly I think you should. I only buy from our vendors. They do a fine job and if you want local vendors available tomorrow, well then buy from them today.

    Get an eVic VTC Mini / eGo One kit. OK, the tank isn't supposedly as good as the Subtank but the mod itself is far better than the Kbox mini IMO

    I agree and would add that the ability to resell it will be much better should you ever decide to do so.

    If you see the word "styled" or something similar when you're browsing the China suppliers, that's the code word for, "it's a clone." Personally, I'd avoid buying any mods (batteries) that say this...you're never sure what you're getting (and it's usually sh*te). But hey, YMMV. ;)

    Yeah i get you, i forgot to tell you guys. I actually got Big's reply, well i guess his english is limited as he keep asking me to check his site. Personally i really feel it is little expensive. I mean you guys stay here, ya we make better money but still....i think its better to buy something not so expensive.

    Thanks for the tip on the word "styled" now i know hahaha, this is awesome information. I find that some of their stuff from madeinchina.com is really cheap seriously..maybe i should buy from them and do resell here

    I agree some things are more expensive here quite often. But when I take in to international shipping and more importantly the "difficulties" that can be encountered bringing something in to the LOS I don't particularly mind. Importing and sell this stuff is illegal as you know and having had several packages totaling well over 30,000 B seized I am more than happy to pay our local vendors a little bit more and be guaranteed receipt.

    But that's me.

    "Styled", "Clone", "high imitation" mods are mostly bad quality mods with very low quality chips and materials used.:not good:

    "Authentic", "original" mods are mostly better quality mods with better or good quality chips and materials used.:cheers2:

    Why would you take a chance to buy them from there and try to sell them here? Maybe you can, lets say, a 20% profit if you want to sell them cheaper than other vendors or a 100% loss if customs confiscates your package! :police:

    My advise, buy an authentic mod here in Thailand and be a happy vaper!:vaping:
