AltSmoke | The Yeti - Presale! & Site News!

[halopunker]

Release Date : February 12th, 2009!​

I wanted to let everyone know that we will be adding a new type of Electronic Vaporizer to our inventory. When I say we, I am referring to Jason (Electronicstix.com) and myself (Rob @ Altsmoke.com). This new vaporizer will hopefully make you leave your DSE901/RN4075 forever! We believe that this new Electronic Vaporizer will be one of our best selling items before the end of next month! And for this reason, we felt obligated to nickname it! We are calling it 'The Yeti'!


Our starter Kits will either come in Black or White, and will show off the BLUE LED.

All Starter Kits come in either White or Black

Each Starter Kit Includes:
​

• 2 Complete Yetis!
  • 2 Atomizers
  • 2 batteries BLUE LED)
• 1 USA Charger

Hi Rob...Just wondering what the battery and cartridge life is expected to be like. Will they be similar to the 901 or the Dura?

 

[posaune]

Here is a quote from electronicstix.com:

"This is the Newest Latest and Greatest E-Cig on the market, We have extensively tested this unit before deciding to carry them. This unit has Great Size and feel just like the 901 Series But with a Cart that holds almost as much liquid as a Pen Style E-Cig and has batteries that last between 4 and 5 hours each. Produces Vapor and Gives a Consistant Nice Throat Hit. Nice Easy Draw."

Don't know if true but if so it might be worth the extra $20 for the kits that include an extra atomizer that most kits do not sell.

Hey, Rob or Jason can you show some reliable sources to back up these claims?

Wasn't too impressed with puresmoker's pilot m-401. They claimed that it would blow away the DSE-901 and I didn't find anything that was better. And, actually worse in my opinion in many aspects.

You will not find a statement like that on my website.

Sadly, me and Jason decided to remain separate for the time being and to pretty much 'partner' in working with one another to keep items in stock on both sites.

But, I can say that I offer a 14 Day Guarantee on all my items (minus Cartridges), so if for some reason you are not impressed with an item you receive, you are more than welcome to return them within 14 days. When I say 14 days, I don't mean 14 days from the order, I'm referring to from the time the item arrives. I ship Priority Mail (2-3 Days Typically, but up to 5) on all my items and with a tracking number.

Also the extra atomizer is a promotion only So eventually we will stop carrying the dual atomizer kits. Also the price will jump up to $69.95 after this sale period ends.

Rob, I just pre-ordered one. I am looking forward to trying it.

Thanks

 

[lintz69]

Also, read on other forums these perform similar to dura can you confirm? Also, is there any type of PCC like Janty has? or will Janty's work with yours?

Joytech makes the 510

The 510 / Yeti is very similar to the Janty Dura

But Janty put it's own spin on the Janty Dura using different technology in
the unit.

So they are the same but will preform different


thanks

[lintz69]

Thanks Parked. Do you know if PCC would be compatible? Also I pm'd you btw

Before i say anything, let it be known that I already have a reputation for being a cheapskate by always ordering from China. So naturally, I will be paying more attention to the price.

So lets see, most of the top suppliers in this forum sells a good starter kit at an average of $49.95. By adding an extra atomier that most of the said suppliers sells at $10, you are selling the Yeti for $59.95 at a pre order promotional price. How is that considered a promotion?

After the "promotion", the price will increase to $69.95 for only 1 atomiser. This is not a good strategy on this forum imo. This forum has the most knowledgeable vapers around. Most of them already knows more or less how much you bought from your supplier.

This is not a flame. I'm just throwing this out for discussion cos you might have a good point that i missed out.

 

[applefr3ak]

There is a long story about the pricing... Im sure rob might want to chime in here about the pricing.. especially since it was him having the discussions with the suppliers. And according to the supplier the only difference between the 510 and the dura is the "logo ring" that says Janty. They said if i ordered 500 of them, i could have same logo ring with my logo on it. But that is as far as i will go and let Rob Chime in about the pricing problems..

[halopunker]

Well, I really don't want to open up a can of worms, especially on the forums. So I won't! Regardless my asking price of $69.99 after shipments arrived is incorrect, so hopefully this makes it seem more like a 'deal'. I will disclose the pricing after the shipment arrives, all i gotta say is $59.99 beats the hell out of what it's going to be at.

Another company posted about carrying Joye products and made it sound as though Joye forces suppliers to charge a certain amount, which sucks, but it doesn't sound like there is anything the suppliers can do about it. Joye probably doesn't want to make Janty mad .

I'm another notorious cheapskate when it comes to e-cigs, after all we are buying a rechargeable battery connected to a filament. Something that couldn't cost more than 20 bucks to manufacture, being a very simple electronic device. The filament which has a limited lifespan and will have to be replaced shortly, so why would we want to buy a more expensive one, knowing all of the things we know about e-cigs? Or are you going to be doing the atomizer carousel like Janty to make people feel like they are justified paying the higher price?

 

[acp63]

I ordered one from altsmoke for the pre sale of $59.95 along with PPC for an extra 19.95 I cant wait. I emailed joye and they said the Janty Dura is a 510.


Janty sells the same for $154.95

Sadly, the price is not up to me. I wanted to go cheaper than what I did, but last night I was informed I could not sell them as cheaply as I had originally planned to. Well I could, but the odds of me getting more in the future would've been a tad bit harder.

Regardless, as an informed purchaser of ECigs, you know that these are not made in the US, they do/can be seized/trapped/refused in customs, that china charges an arm and a leg for shipping, units have a chance of dying shortly after arrival, and know about 10-15% of all items that are purchased from the manufacturer will arrive DOA.

So between the possibilities of units disappearing, receiving bad products to begin with, high shipping costs, units dying in the first 2 weeks, replacing units that have died, and having the manufacturer raise the price per unit to try to encourage the price increase on our units, I think that the price we're offering them presently is still a good one.

Once the promo ends we will have higher priced units and with that comes extended warranties. All items I carry do have warranties...but they all vary depending on the price. Trust me, i'm not going to jack up the price and not give you something in return. Because that wouldn't be right of me to do; my mystery bags...I actually lost money on them. And I will continue to lose money on them because they are fun to do .

I also do monthly give aways to people who are signed up to my newsletter, and give them codes to receive 10%-20% off on items in my store. I could rant forever in regards to these units and what i wanted to sell them at, but sadly I suppose I'll stop here.

If you wanna talk more about it feel free to chat with me on the front of my website Or sitting on my F.A.Q. Pages.

You have a point but Chinese suppliers usually don't care how much you sell. They just want you to buy and pay. Smokeanywhere ppl sells at $150 but you don't see Kanger forcing other KR model suppliers to sell at a certain price. The same for Njoy and Sedansa. Thats the whole reason behind OEM and branding. I don't see why and how Joye is different.

I love the mystery bag idea. Instead of putting certain inventories on sale, just put them in a mystery bag at a bargain price. Great way of controlling stocks and providing customers a deal. Win win for everyone. As a marketing person, you have my respect.
