ya.. of course $10 shipping to spoil my excitement. What is it with Canadian vendors and their shipping prices? I order from China, Europe and the U.S. for half that price.

It's shipped Xpresspost, and $10 is pretty much the minimum charge for Xpresspost shipping.

thats my issue with the Canadian vendors.. most of them only offer 1 rate and thats for expresspost (at least the 5 or 6 that I've dealt with so far). I'm only orderering a couple of connectors, just drop em in a bubble wrap and fire em off for a few bucks.

Kind of ridiculous when I can order four 30ml bottles of nic juice and 25 cartos from China and the shipping is only $5. The shipping on my DCA306 was only $8..

I've decided to just order the 510 connectors from an american vendor. Shipping is under $4.. what a bunch of bullsh t.

Some places use cheap/free shipping as a lost leader to get your business.

Wish I knew which ones those were because I can clearly read the price the vendors paid on the boxes and envelopes they've mailed. The one in front of me from rtdvapor cost $1.91 but IIRC the online charge was $3.40. I dont mind a bit of a markup considering the price of the envelope and the time to put it together. That's fair IMHO.

Worst case, create your own? Here's the link on proper threading:

Otherwise, (unfortunately I'm not home - can't check my history), I know there is some place that sells eGo connectors. Not exactly what you're looking for, but close. Hopefully somebody knows.

edit: Found it:

Adapters/Connectors : Vapor Geek!, Buy E-Liquid, Personal Vaporizers & Accessories!Canada

Thanks I was looking for this also.
The prices for the connectors are pretty good more than make up for the shipping cost.

Yea if it's standard post. The 10$ here is so you get it in 1-3 days. Lately if it's in the box day one before ten it's at my door the next day which I appreciate. Now if I was only buying a 2$ connector of whatever I can see why your tripping out. I thought I was the most value driven, frugal (cheap) person on here, but it looks like I have some competition :) haha

$10 is definitely a little steep for a $2 connector, which is why I used to buy them at MadVapes in bulk and rack up a $150+ shopping cart to lessen the blow of the $25 shipping.

TallGrass if you just need 2-3 shoot me a PM and I'll gladly send you some for the price I paid at MadVapes + the actual cost of shipping regular mail.

Yea I'm good at math. I already put an order together with 3 people, lets see that's $3.33 each and the price of the connectors we are ordering are the same as madvapes.The canadian dollar fell to less than .97 cents that means the credit card rippers will take about .06 cents on dollar ad nauseam.

That's what's good about having and attending vape meets, you get a group together and save $$$.
Vape on.:2cool:
