I hope that I'm posting this in the correct section of the forum. I'm still pretty new here and finding my way around.

I've been checking "forum suppliers" and "store locator" sections of this site and I can't seem find a USA vendor who sells the Heatvape Defender. I've found some overseas vendors that have for $35 plus about $5 shipping, but I'd prefer not to wait 4 weeks for it to arrive and prefer to support domestic vendors whenever possible.

If anyone knows of a domestic shop that sells the Defender please point me to them, thanks!

Thanks guys!

I can't tell if either vendor is selling the newer version with stainless steel connector, matte finish, and no gap between tank & battery. (The original that came out late last year had a chrome-plated brass connector, glossy finish, and left a visible gap between the battery and most tanks. All of which have since been corrected / changed). Also currently neither of those sites show the "matte black" option.

So I'm going to contact both and see if they're stocking the newer version with corrections / enhancements and if they carry matte black finish.

Thanks very much for your replies and the links.

The 3Avape site says it does have the "This is an improved version: stainless steel connector, spring loaded center pin, no gap between tank and battery and no finger print."

Thanks! I ended up buying one from VaporBeast.com because they responded to my email promptly and had the new version in-stock ready to ship. Had it within 5 days, as opposed to the 6 weeks I would have had to wait for 3Avape. Sure I paid a few bucks more by purchasing it from VB, but it's good to support domestic vendors and they were quick to respond to my email and also very friendly / helpful over the phone, and of course it was nice to get my order fast :)
KanVape.com is still my main "go-to" vendor but they didn't have the Defender so I ended up checking around and it all worked out nicely with VB. Gotta love all the help and info on this forum!
