A bit annoyed with suppliers

I have found it quite difficult to find a supplier that carries the necessary parts. I also realize that these are not Wally Worlds but small businesses serving a genuine need. An example would be buying Kanger T2 clearomizer from a supplier and needing to purchase replacement coils, or eGo T batteries without having to go to three separate suppliers - Canada post is making a mint. I will admit that I have only been to 6 different suppliers so far but I would like to give my business to say two who carried the spare parts. I realize this is an ever changing product, so I am asking asking around to see if there is a super supplier that carries complete lines of products out there?:unsure:

I've been able to find what I've been looking for so far from vendors relatively local to me (Southeastern Ontario / GTA). Though they are local, (and I've been able to get next day delivery or 2nd day) I have had to go to 6 different vendors. It doesn't bother me too much though and I like buying Canadian because I can use Interac which is a heckuva lot safer than giving out your CC# to unknown websites. I'm not sure what the Winnipeg vape scene is like but it is a large city, I've been there many times. Looks like the selection is limited for MB vendors. Ask for the list of vendors in the sticky thread.

Unfortunately, vendors are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to stocking up on items. Especially those that are trying to get established and don't have the cash reserves or warehouse space to stock up on a wide range of products. Let's face it, a lot of these folks are running the operation out of their home and there's only so much space to go around when you get into this.

Have you contacted your favorite vendor and asked them to carry specific products? Or do you just surf until you can find what you need? If you aren't providing feedback to your local (or favorite vendor) they won't know what they need to carry on a regular basis. This industry is changing so rapidly, many are scrambling in an attempt to keep up.

Work with your vendor. Provide feedback. Many would be totally overjoyed to receive that kind of information so they know they're providing a good service to their customers. Otherwise, they're left scratching their heads and stocking up on the "next best thing" in an attempt to stay in the business.
