Consider ordering from www.mechsauce.com sometime. They ship to aus, and offer ups. Cheaper mt baker, and out of the 10+ flavors I've tried, there was only 1 I didn't care for. Only thing that sucks is that they're having a high volume of orders right now, so it takes like 7 business days for your order to even be shipped out. But it's so worth the wait.

Glorious. 
My order hasn't been filled yet, but I still got plenty of juice and I'm getting juice + other supplies from vaporbeast in the post today. In a lot of ways, vapemail is better than drug mail. It's just as exciting, but you don't worry about legality.
Anyone in here ever order from fasttech? The prices are insanely low, but I've read some shit about orders taking like 50 days, or not even showing.

Yeah Fasttech is a good source for vape stuff but they do take a realllly long time to ship from what I've heard, like a month or more
I would never have the patience to buy anything from them

Unless it's something I don't really want, I'd probably just rather pay a few more bucks and buy it domestically. And if it's something I don't really want, why would I even buy it? I don't really see myself ordering from them.

Cheers, Burke. I've got mech sauce bookmarked, I'll give em a shot. 
I bought my sigelei 150w and herakles tank from fasttech, it was some time ago now but iirc it didn't take long, a week, give or take. They're both legitimate products too, on the other hand, the RDAs I ordered off them claimed to be authentic (a vertias and a plume veil) were both clones and they're god awful. So IME, their RDA listings are no bueno.
I still restock my subtank coils from them, though. I just ordered a couple of boxes for my uwell crown. Thanks for the reminder. 
I'm not sure what shipping methods they provide to US customers, but should you ever decide to order from them, when you're going through the check out, select the "+ show more options" tab in the customize shipping section for the full list, your best option might be hiding in there somewhere. They all show transit time estimates, too.
By the sounds of things, if you're ever gonna order from them I'd find out from shroomism what method he used and steer clear of it, lol.

You should go with a regulated box instead
They're safer and less of a hassle to use, I'd recommend a Sigelei 50W v2 box mod (or the 150W if you have more money to spend), a couple pairs of Samsung 25R 18650 batteries, an Xtar VC2 charger & a Mutation X RDA
What kind of tank do you have?

couple of different devices here. innokin svd2 (only 20w, but very adjustable) on which i use a nautilus tank as my "go to work" vape. i rebuild the nautilus coils to about 1.1ohm.
when i get home, i get down and dirty with a 40w kbox (very basic, it is adjustable, but no lcd display) and a subtank with homebrew coils at .8ohm, this is a monster. i vowed not to become a dripper and leave well enough alone, and i think i'm finally happy with what i've got and how they work.
for juice, i use quack's juice factory "quack snack" at 2 to 3mg (i've been mixing higher nicotine juice down with 0 nic to get what i want) and mt baker vapor root beer and razzleberry.
Mt Baker's juice is very hit or miss...most of their flavors are shit. the root beer and the razzleberry and raspberry are delish.

Do I seem Australian to you? 
Anyway, since people are talking about equipment, I use an ipv4 with a herakles sub ohm tank. Samsung 25r's. Its a real solid setup that does everything I need it to and more. The box mod goes up to 100w, but I rarely turn it above even 45w, as I don't like hot vapor.

As you can see, it's pretty big, which is the only real drawback. Sucks taking it out of the house. I think I'm going to get a kanger subox mini soon as the vape I go out with. My brother has one and for its size and price range, it rocks. Also, it comes with the RDA, which I want to try out. I kinda want to get into dripping & building my own coils, but I honestly doubt that it'd become my primary way to vape. Just seems like an inconvenience to have to drip every 5 hits. But I do want to get more "hands on" with the hobby, and RDAs seem like a good way to do so.

building my own coils is where i draw the line. that's enough of an adjustment, and is kinda pleasing to pull off a nice tight symetrical coil.
the dripping, i have no doubt now that flavor wise it's the way to go, but like you said i don't want to drip every half dozen puffs.
these newer tanks are pretty good. i'm "on the fence" about getting the aspire atlantis. i don't need another tank, and hence another coil design. but i hear they're easily rebuildable...easier then the nautilus so maybe. hell it's only $25 at the local smoke shop.

Aren't all Aspire coil heads interchangeable?
I used an aspire triton last week, it was a really nice tank.

Yes, about a half dozen times since I started vaping. They offer free shipping on just about every item which is great but the shortest amount of time it took one of my orders to get to my home was 27 days.
My most recent order was for a Kanger RBA+ which is a $3 item and it took 54 days to arrive.
I honestly don't think it's worth ordering from them unless it's an incredible price drop. Waiting a month or longer for vape mail is extremely frustrating. I get antsy after a week when other vendors make me wait.
A few things that I found were really worth ordering from Fasttech because they were so cheap:
- Silicone protecctive sleeves for your mods. ~75 cents each
- RDA clones ~$5-$20. I've ordered a few and each one has worked perfectly. The only difference I notice between it and authentics is the machining quality of the stainless steel. That doesn't really affect performance.
-Ohm Readers.
-Coil jigs
Just about everything else vaping related can be found through domestic vendors at similar prices imo. Vapecrawler.com is an amazing search tool to find the cheapest gear.

What are y'all vapin' on? I'm puffin' on some custard flavored stuff right now.
We do have a dedicated vaping sub here on the Shroomery:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/236
Several very knowledgeable people in there. Definitely worth checking out.
I just got to work and my shop received a ton of vapemail today. A lot of new sample/tester bottles of flavors from Kilo, Beard, and Zoop Juice. The "cereal milk" by Kilo is one of my favorite premium juices so that's what I'll be vaping on for the next few hours.
Vaping the juice with some of the store's display items. VaporShark DNA40 and a Velocity RDA (amazing little dripper)

Kron: working at the vape shop sounds like a ton of fun. Getting paid to do your hobby, using new and/or free shit all day, etc. Sweet gig.
Mr.Johnson: I see you got the mech sauce. Alien Ooze is okay, but IMO the mango doesn't really come through. I do have a bottle of it that's been steeping for like 6 weeks, haven't tried it in over a month, so maybe the mango is more pronounced. You enjoying any of the other flavors you got?

Yeah I don't taste much mango in it either but I love blueberry vapes so naturally I think it's amazing
The other two I tried were Mech Sauce and Kalypso, both of which are also verry delicious
Overall I'm really impressed with how high quality their juice is for how much it costs and will definitely be buying from them again in the future
