A disturbing trend on stock levels at vendors in the US

[tonyorion]

Has anyone else noticed that it is getting harder to order certain items? I am talking about the more advanced stuff like certain mods and anything more than your stock 510 atomizers and cartomizers-specifically rba's. I have been on the wish list for over two months on a bunch of stuff with different vendors for AGA T+, Eternity, Terminator, and Kanger, and, unless I start splitting orders which will drive up my postage, I will be waiting a long time. Nobody seems to have everything I want in stock, even though they list it on the website. The Chinese New Year could explain some of it. Deliveries of newer items like the Vamo V2 could be slow. Is the threatened FDA ruling making people stock up like crazy and vendors leery about carrying inventory? There is one annoying thing, and I won't mention any names: some vendors listing sale items which are never in stock.

Some are worse... you add item to cart and it shows out of stock only during checkout...
Or ones that list your country in Intl. shipping but won't ship to it and you find that out only after filling checkout info...

Chinese New year guys

I'll be one of the oddballs and say that yes, I believe people are now stocking up. I know that I am, so I can't be the only one. That probably does contribute to the shortages and Chinese New Year didn't help.

Yeah I've noticed it. The rebuildables are flying off the shelves because people want to be able to keep on vaping in case this mess with the FDA makes these things even harder to get after next month.

I'm looking to get a new phoenix style and the vision eternity as soon as possible...

It could also mean that the ranks of vapers are growing.

I noticed the trend myself. I believe it is a combination of Chinese New Year, stocking-up and more new vapers than normal.

Happens every year..... Chinese new year, some new FDA scare, and a steady influx of new vapers.

China is fast with new product releases. So, what you want may be old news before you even know you want it. Also MOST online dealers are Small business and hold small stock of all but their best movers.
I Always look for discount deals and order from dozens of places. The discounts cover additional shipping cost so everything works out.

This week - 7 different purchases/7 different shipments. One 50% OFF e-liquid deal covered All shipping expense.
