A bit annoyed with suppliers

[noanaforme]

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?

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.

Been a problem since I started. A bit better now, a lot of products aren't selling anymore, vendors carries more stuff and more brick store are opening which carries a lot of stuff and you don't have to pay for shipping. But I'm sure it'll still be a problem for years to come lol so much stuff out there !

Yes, spare parts are problematic, especially with the exploding range of vaping products out there On the other hand, the products are getting better and better

Personally I try most everything, and then if I like it, I do a bulk buy on sale.

You'll find the vendors here. Also, I'm sure a moderator could correct me, but registered vendors have different posting rules than regular ECFers.

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.

There is zero vendors here, but there is one in Kenora. VapeMate is a not too far drive and they have a b&m. They also have a good selection of vaping gear and joose. Check 'em out!

I love the Kanger T2's, the only supplier I have found is Canvape for those.

Searching high and low for suppliers has been a thing of the passed for me since I've gotten into rebuildables.

I'm fully stocked up on wires, ekowool, and ss mesh. Only thing I'm worried about now is finding good juice.
