Accessories you'de like to see at Aroma

[aikanae1]

I believe the REO, Silver bullet, Zenisis, and Super T are all made in America, just to name a few.

Saber, Billet Box, Penny Mods, there's a few other start-ups on Facebook. I ran into a company making small mods, using 14000 and 16000 batteries and can't recall the name. It's an emerging industry. Most of these have smart design, good customer service and warrenties provided by manufacturers. There a number of tanks made in the US, drip tips, etc.

I'd like to see Aroma carry the best of the best; "connoisseur's" in the vaping world. A lot of people swear by Cisco atty's and Borge carto's.

Steam Monkey posted an offer to provide backing for someone starting up manufacturing in the US in another forum. That's the post that got me thinking and realizing what is made here but it's so fragmented that it's not noticed. There's more start-ups everyday.

Mods are going to contribute to landfill issues if they continue to be treated as disposables. I liked the greener aspects of e-cig use and would rather fix a mod if it dies in 3-6 months. I expect I can do that with a US made mod and would pay more to have an extended warrenty (although some don't need that for continued manufacturer support).

If industry projections are accurate, there will be an increasing need for distributors and that's where I would position my company for long term growth.

So now that's my

Some good ideas so far.
Keep em coming!

At this point I doubt there will be mods or devices. Just accessories.

Replacement heads are my most commonly ordered hardware. I'm a Kanger Protank fan myself, so those heads and tanks, also EVODs and T3s. The main thing I would like from Aroma though is larger bottles of WTA juices with a lower price point now that I am completely addicted to your juices

 

[spacekitty]

What happened to the new Contest thread Jerry was supposed to start??

 

[Berylanna]

Well, that leaves us out of the one-stop shopping then. Especially for replacement parts.

HOWEVER, when it comes to accessories, nobody has a decent holster (not lanyard or clip!) for most mods, and pockets don't work that well either for the long mods.

And for sure NOBODY has a reasonable case for these either -- the eGo cases are too lose, not versatile-enough, not big enough for what I need to carry.

I'm using MAXPEDITION EDC case E.D.C. POCKET ORGANIZER, which comes in colors, but I'd love it if it were ONE inch taller and 1 inch narrower, and a little thicker.


This is really good but in a just-a-little-too-big way: Tactical Toiletry Bag

But, once I got set-up and senior-enough to identify WTA as something I need, I already pretty much had the accessories I need/want. Now I need juice, replacement parts, and maintenance stuff like ziplocs and replacement heads.

T-shirts or patches that are neither stupid nor overly-masculine nor only-available-in-black might be nice. Maybe a shopping bag like the ones from Whole Foods that disappear easily into a pocket or purse but have your logo and a slogan about vaping killing cigs.

<<<< Older than dirt and shaky. So needle caps would be nice. Not necessarily the whole bottle, I've seen just the caps somewhere??? I like to keep it simple. Just Evods and 650 batts, although, I do like to tinker, so I rebuild the heads. If they ever quit making those, I'll just go with an IV to get my WTA. Yup, KISS for me, but I do like to look at the eye candy in the "pictures of you setup" thread. (Yes, snork, I saw your wonderful blue Empire........best looking mod in the whole thread IMHO)

Looking at some of the requests here, I also think Jerry should KISS too. Definitely don't want the WTA to fall by the wayside.

I'm all for getting supply's from Aroma for one stop shopping but can there be a profitable revenue stream with all the competition? I would guess that's the first question that Aroma would ask themselves.

What items? The basics. None of the over the moon latest and greatest gizmo. Attys, cartos, a tank or two, maybe a couple of batts and some re-building items. The things that you have to have to make your juice work that you order all the time.

Most of all, if this does come to be, I would hope Aroma chooses items that they believe in as much as they believe in their juice.

Most places take turns running out of Nova replacement heads. Having a big supply of something often-used over Chinese New Year would be pretty good. 'Course, that's 3/4 of a year away at this point.

I buy juice the most, heads the second-most, other random parts like o-rings etc the third-most, after that....new toys. Batteries rarely, but that is because I bought too many at the beginning, due to shipping costs. Accessories....all the time when I started but now I'm pretty much set.

A charger-cord organizer might be nice.

Good customer service is not running out of stock. Does Aroma want to add to current supply problems by adding chinese manufacterers / distribution into the mix? Retailers are not stupid and there are reasons for being out of stock or why some things are not sold from the same store; branding issues, exclusivity, price agreements and what is made available through distributors. Retailers can't meet the monthly minimums required and are forced to use smaller chinese distribution system to get even a 10% discount from retail. It's a crazy, unpredictable system.


Let retailers do what they do, Aroma should make the best #@^&*! juice possible. I wasn't a happy customer when my juice was sold out this month. Customer service is making the product available, in larger sizes and offers the maximum outlets possible. Buying should be easy.


Aroma WTA is in a unique position of that it doesn't competite directly with an existing retailers juice line but compliments it. I get the benefit of being able to buy it in more than one location which (hopefully) deminishes the impact of any shortages. Getting into retailing makes Aroma a competitor and less likely that B&M's will want to carry WTA.


I'm selfish enough that I'd like to see one good juice go national that's not affiliated with BT. I think Aroma could strategize to do that in such a way that tobacco warehouses would be compelled into carrying WTA if that were a requirement for distrubtion into B&M's. Aroma's patents have already, probably put WTA in their crosshairs. That's the playing field, ready or not.


However, good customer service is not running out of stock. My carto's are worthless with juice and wth current distribution, I can guarentee that juice and carto's will rarely, if ever, be in stock at the same time.

[somejerk]

I think that if they do opt to sell rebuild-able items then they should include coil, mesh, silica, etc.
Just a suggestion

 

[snork]

Hmm. I wonder if with Jerry's laboratory equipment experience he could source stainless steel mesh in various gauges. Seems many people look for that and can't find it or pay dearly for it when they do.

While nobody likes it when the juice they want is out of stock I think most of us know that Jerry and everybody at Aroma do every thing they can to try to keep up. Need to remember this isn't Jerry's only business. I think to equate being out of stock to bad customer service is uncalled for. IMHO nobody beats Aroma in Customer service. I just placed an order. Total time from order confirmation to order shipped notice was a total of 6 minutes. No other vendor I've dealt with even comes close to service like that

 

[super dave]

Hey there Charlie, thanks for this and i'll tell ya what I'd like to see!
#1-In the juice lines (pg base) I'd like to see 50ml good squeeze bottles and some Pina Colada
2-ego batts of different mah sizes and some 18650's maybe?
3-would love the Vivi Nova's, big & mini and all the coil heads, especially the 2.4 ohm and a 5 pack bubble pack special! Love the Nova's, all I ever use anymore!
I know this is individual me wants but pretty basic for me, Will be ordering some 30ml juices soon and wish had some Pina Colada! Thanks and good to see Aroma going ahead with accessories and such!

That's actually a pretty good list. I myself would love to see unflavored nic, PG , VG and sond some flavorings. That would actually tie in with the products that Aroma is already offering and already has a steady supply of. I will always buy Aroma juice but I would like to try my hand at some DIY also

That's not what I was attempting to say. I was trying to say that the value of any expansion is going to be diminished if it takes away from the primary product line. They do have supply issues. That's an observation. That's frustrating as much as other stores having tanks but no heads or vice versa. Retailing has supply issues too and it's likely the profit margins are thinner. In this case, it could compound the problems.

 

[alisa1970]

I have nothing to add...good suggestions as far as I'm concerned. I like the unflavored WTA idea, as for those of us with some issues with flavorings, this is a great alternative! I haven't been vaping long enough to need any replacement parts or accessories yet. I always buy extra on my first purchase of anything.

 

[Jobear]

I 2nd the smoktek cartos- I've had such bad luck with Boges, especially with thicker liquids like the Red Vapor line. Doesn't matter what method I use to fill them or how long I let them sit- after a couple puffs they burn out. I've also had good luck with the Kanger horizontal coil cartos, and the nice warm vape works well with WTAs. I don't have a lot of experience with batteries other than eGos and cigalikes. The best atty's I've used- and now the only ones I will use- are the Cisco specs- but I've never seen them outside of Avid Vaper. I'm not sure if there's an exclusive arrangement there or an owner/manufacturer kind of thing.

 

[SeaTownLassy]

I have nothing to add as well, as all the suggestions are wonderful. I would be looking forward to having Aroma as a one-stop shop!

 

[Jobear]

I will say this- if someone could come up with a decent USA made cartomizer, I'd kiss their feet. I love cartos and I try to buy USA as much as possible, but I have yet to find a carto made in the USA. I thought the Bloog 808s were, but this forum told me otherwise. Sigh.

 

[Reddhott]

definitely larger bottles sizes for sure. cartomizers****808's.... 510 and i love the 801 Fusion Cartomizer Kanger horizontal coil cartos i like bottom coil tanks..replaceable heads for people that like the tanks. but being able to get larger bottles of the WTA juice is #1 for me.
