    Default Canada, U.S., China, UK???????

    I would just like to express why I choose to deal with a Canadian supplier (while I am still able) despite the price difference.

    1. I don't have to worry about customs, which to me, is worth a few bucks in somebody's pocket.

    2. Having some Canadian suppliers in existence might encourage the potential for one day having manufacturing here. Gods know we could use some manufaturing. I know, I'm an optomist.

    3. I like the idea of at least some of my money remaining here in Canada, even if it is on the top.

    4. Profit isn't a dirty word. We all have the lifestyles that we have for a reason, and I'd like all of us to continue or improve in that regard.

    Now I'm not saying that all Canadian suppliers are the same, or that just because they are Canadian, they deserve our business. Far from it. All I am saying is that these are things that I think about when contemplating any purchase, not just e-cigarettes and supplies.

    I really hope that I have not offended anyone, because that is definitely not my intention. We are all (more or less) free to do as we please. Just thought I'd raise it for some hopefully interesting discussion.

    I'm pretty much the same way in thought when making "any" purchase.

    I try to support our Canadian economy by buying from a Canadian supplier.

    But of course it boils down to $$$, which inclues selling price, exchange rate, duty & brokerage fee's, as well as the hassle involved, and availability.

    Most importantly, to me, is CUSTOMER SERVICE, which even though I "should'nt" have to pay more for, I will.

    Default Supply

    I 100% agree, and to date have only made 2 purchases outside Canada, that said, I really wish supply was more consistent. I am still using analogs because I can not get consistent supply of juice and carts, it is frustrating because I do love vaping but I can't seem to get a sufficient supply to be consistent. I am hoping my order from Eastmall will give me enough liquid and blank carts to ride out the shortages here in Canada and look out when I see some stock in...... I buying it all up!

    BTW, it is already more than 20 degrees here, beauty! Hope it is nice where ever you are!

    It's 3 degrees here now, and I think that is nice.
