Ever heard of EcigaretteMall.NET?

[DonDaBoomVape]

I'm not talking about ecigarettemall.com (i.e., EastMall.net), but EcigaretteMall.net (in Shanghai, China). [EDIT: I see that fastecig.com and ecigbank.com also take you to their website.]

I stumbled on their website while searching for alternate suppliers for the BE112. [I've heard good things about BestEcig.com (the main source for the BE112), but I always try to get the best (pun not originally intended) price and lowest shipping cost.]

These guys certainly don't have the lowest shipping cost (flat rate $20), but they have a very good price on BE112 atomizers (5 for $28) and a special sale on BE112 starter kits ($23).

All of this is great if they are reliable ... but I've never heard of them (and I've searched ECF).

Does anyone know anything about them? If not, I'll probably chicken out and order from BestEcig, which does have a good rep.

Thanks!

That got me curious Don so had to look. Your example of a 5 pack of BE112's you'd be ahead a few dollars with bestecig.....

What I find interesting is that ecigarettemall.NET is sooo very similar to bestecig with respect to selection, site layout and prices that it's almost clonelike!

Oh yeah, nope, hadn't heard of 'em before

Thanks, olderthandirt! I see what you mean about it being a virtual clone.

And, yeah, if I just ordered a 5-pack of attys, tried-and-true BestEcig.com comes out $2 ahead in total cost ... but with that starter kit sale and/or multiple 5-packs, unknown EcigaretteMall.net is several dollars cheaper.

Unless I hear otherwise from others, I'll play it safe. But (like you) I am curious.

Tried their BE112 starter kit, it works fine, maybe just a branch of bestecig.com, who knows. I asked them, but they said no. It's OK, what I care about is the quality and price, that's all.

One of our newest members has heard of them ... and shares it with us on his second post!

Thanks, Alan ... and welcome to ECF!*

* On the other hand: I think I read that sometimes stealthy individuals join ECF just to plug their own company (or are in the pay of that company). But how do you distinguish those from all the really neat, honest vapers who don't have a hidden agenda?

I think Reagan had it right: Trust ... and verify. The trust is difficult in this case, because so little information (suspiciously little?) is available for verification: virtually no track record in postings (nothing suspicious in that), but no avatar or location in your posting, no photo or "About Me" in your profile?

Alan, if I have misjudged you, please accept my apology ... and don't be put off of ECF by what I'm saying here. I have no official status and do not represent the forum. You might choose to share some more info about yourself, so wary people like me don't jump to the wrong conclusion.

However, if my suspicions are warranted, either register as a supplier or go away.

As you can see from above it's pretty new. I also checked bestecig.com and they are not hiding anything -- names, contacts, phone#. So needless to say -- buyer beware.

Looks like I piqued some curiosity here. Thanks, Rogue X2 v2, for digging into this!

Somehow, I don't think you (or olderthandirt ... or me) are stealth posters.

FYI: My emergency order for three 801 attys (from Rocky Mountain Vapor) was lost in the mail, through no fault of RMV. I've been without the use of either my 801 penstyle or my 801 Prodigy for a week now (hobblying along with an old KR801D-1 with one battery and an ocassional analog).

I couldn't wait for an order from BestEcig in China to arrive; instead I placed an emergency order with RMV for a bunch of 801 attys. [BTW, RMV is great to work with, e.g., the duplicated my original order (at zero cost to me) and added it into my new order, sent via priority mail.] Should be back up and running by the end of the week (and for months to come).

As for BE112's, well maybe sometime in the future.

Fully agree with that, the entire product line including juices and accessories is the same stuff.

Ouch!
I betcha stock up on essentials from here on out, right?

I believe the esteemed Jim Davis has posted more than once that when he orders supplies he usually adds an extra 10 atomizers or whatever at the time of order so as not to get caught short. My best to ya between now and when your order gets in!!!

I'm in the process of changing one of my domains, so it's no biggie. I've been checking regularly to see when it has propagated.

On a different note: I have no idea why bestecig doesn't like my credit cards and debit card. They were the first I tried to order from. I have no problems with ruyan or lightinthebox or any other U.S.-based vendors.
