Thanks for the nice comments, we really appreciate them.

Our customers usually start out with the standard kit which is a pretty darned good kit. Before long, however, they wish to try more flavors, experiment with different cartos, etc. So we have the "enhanced" kit which just gets them along to that next step a little quicker. It's just more fun.

We plan to do the same with our Riva and EGO kits too but that's a little more complicated only because there are more options available. Right now, we're toying with the idea of a create your own kit for those 510 items.

I'd be very interested in that. Be nice to have a place that has a custom starter kit..... Sort of set up like some of the computer companies where you pick your CPU, RAM, sound card.

That vape caddy would make a really nice gift too!

I have four VapeCaddies, all for different rooms on three different floors. They're extraordinarily well thought out. Not only are the four holes the perfect size for fat-batts, but the rectangular holder accommodates a Reo Grande nicely. I have one on my desk with four fat-batt setups, a Reo Grande, a Reo Mini and three 10-ml. e-liquid bottles.

The VapeStation is a really fine gift, also. The quality of engineering and construction belie the modest price. Both compartments will accommodate the big 50-ml. bottles.

Strongly recommended! (BTW, I have no connection with either the vendor or the manufacturer. I'm just a very happy customer.)

Thanks for all the great comments, they really do help.

I think in a week or so I'll have the website setup where you can specify the basic battery you want to start with and it would of course come with a charger too. Then you'd have the ability to add on to the basics as needed. Maybe add some cartos, some juice, etc. My first experiment at setting this up online came out pretty ugly but I think I've got a better approach to it now.

Drip Tips - I've got a bunch of them. My aluminum ones come in lots of different colors but are ever so slightly smaller in diameter than some of the others. So it depends upon the carto, sometimes they fit a little too loose. My Delrin and plastic ones are slightly chubbier and fit pretty much everything, so I use them most of the time. Kind of stupid of me to have them in stock and not put them online :blink:

Vape Caddy - These things really are pretty nice to have around and well made to boot. I keep a few in the office and when people come in to buy parts or something they see them and snatch them up pretty fast. Plus, I have a new tank I'm testing out and it works great, unless you lay it down. Then it leaks. So I just keep that rascal in the caddy to keep it happy.

Thanks again for all the great tips and comments.

Oops, forgot to mention the eliquids . . .

We just started carrying them the past 6 weeks ago and most everyone really loves the flavors we started with. Now we just need to add some more flavors plus carry them in more than one strength.

Since we don't mix our own it's kind of hard to know the best way to inventory these. We don't want them sitting around too long but we also want to offer a good variety. So we've been kicking around the best way to move forward and it's a little tricky. So I think it's just one of those things you have to feel your way through the best you can.

The good news is the maker (eliquidmonkeys) is super nice to deal with and offers me lots of help and tips.

Well, got the drip tips on there this morning so that was a move forward. This afternoon hoping to find some time to tweak the custom ordering process so everyone can build their own kit. And we finished testing a whole bunch of new toys, most of which passed with flying colors. So we'll get those on order and then online as soon as we can.

Progress, I love progress.

I'm getting closer to finalizing the configuration for a customized kit.

The website software has some quirky rules about product options, coupons, etc. so it takes a good bit of testing. But I'm fairly confident we'll come up with something that is pretty simple to use and still cover most of the options. Seems to me the main thing is get it as close as we can then tweak it over time.

Another item we're working on is to come up with some tiny little stickers we can use to put on cartos and things. It's really hard to keep track of which flavor is in each one when you have a tiny little pile sitting in front of you. So if anyone knows where some tiny stickers can be found I'd sure appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

wow i like that!! easy to choose from! it would be good also if you had some cartomizers to choose from too alot of people like them to use instead of the tank system and maybe add a drip tip to the choices. nice job!:D
I've put together a page that I think will work out OK for the custom kits. I still need to go back in and fill in the descriptions so it makes sense to anyone not all that familiar with the products.

Yep, definitely needs some tweaking. I'll get the drip tips in there and make the carto option more clear. The Revivers are the cartos and come in standard and XL sizes.

I like the sticker links you sent. My neice also sent me a few links and I think I'll be ordering some from one of those places. The smaller the better and those are hard to find.

These look just about right.
