U.S.A. vs Canadian prices

[Fog n Vape]

Even with with the exchange factored in I experience "sticker shock" when researching prices.
Started looking for a new mod recently and after watching some reviews on YouTube and reading through some forums decided on a Pico kit. Best price online so far is $55.05 can. but in the U.S., without much searching, have found it for $26.99 u.s. Sure our dollar is weaker at about .75 u.s. but at more then 2x the U.S. price I find it a bit much.

What do you think, are we getting ripped off here in Canada price wise ?

yes most definetly.
i havent found a canadian retailer, either b&m or online, that is not a ripoff excessively priced, but i keep finding myself comparing prices to what canvape.com lists items at, imo fairly reasonable priced unless someone else has another company i could look at as i need to buy some stuff, mod, atty, batteries within the next month.

Vincom I took a quick look at their website and prices seem better then others I've looked at. Might reconsider and order a Cloupor, just will have to read/watch a few reviews.

Am looking for a pocket mod for when I'm out n about until I can afford a Asmodus Ohmsmium in gold, yea I'm attracted to bright shiny things, but at over 200 grams weight before battery it's a bit heavy for a pocket mod and wouldn't want to scratch up that nice gold finish in my pocket !

Thanks for the suggestion.

After watching a few reviews the Clouper mod's on this site ain't for me. Oh well, have to keep looking I guess. Hope my mod doesn't die before I find something.

The only price worth looking at is total cost to your door. Canvape has competitive prices on the things I have looked at if I needed anything in a hurry.

I haven't need anything in a hurry for over a year. I buy most of my gear from China.

I hear you Corn Flakes and if I thought my mod would last I would probably order one from China, I am ordering some rta's and rda's through slowtech as can make due with the tanks and rda's I have until whenever the order arrives.

I use Canvape and Fasttech for price comparison... if the prices comes out close, then that provides me with a price range that I would expect online from most stores, while I'd consider a 10-15% mark-up from b&m store to be reasonable. Anything beyond that when I want to grab something on the spot, I'll skip and get online.

+1 for Canvape if you must buy in Canada

Everytime I find a mod I'm interested a new problem arrives which is is trying to find it in Canada. May have found a Coolfire IV 18650 just have to do a bit more research on it.

+1 Canvape/Fasttech.

I think it's more of a reflection of the recent strength of the US Dollar.
The rest of the planet is in the same boat as us with weaker currencies, which effects not only vape goods, but ALL goods from China, because China prices their goods in US Dollars.
