Anybody have any idea wtf is up with Volcano's site?

[Magus86]

Is anybody else experiencing this? I went to volcano's site to try and place an order. I can't log in to my account, and I can't add anything to my cart. Whenever I click "add to cart" or the "login" button, all it does is reload the page I'm on. I tried doing this on two different browsers just in case Chrome is being screwy, but it's the same result with IE as well. And just in case, if someone tells me to get firefox, NO.

EDIT: Okay, what the crap, it's working now...

I don't know. I was able to log in and add stuff to my cart but it says my total is $65.86 instead of the $31.45 that it should be.

I posted something on the Volcano forums so hopefully it'll be cleared up soon.

Everything seems to be working fine now for me. It let me log in and place my order, and the price is all right and everything.

However, on a side note, I've just discovered how utterly pointless Volcano Points are... It takes a purchase of $4 to gain 1 point. It takes 5 points to get a $1 discount. That means I save ONE DOLLAR for every TWENTY I spend. That's ridiculous. Unless I'm going to spend a ton of money there(which I won't because I can get spare parts elsewhere for a lot less... 25 bucks for a 5 pack of 510 manual batteries as opposed to 55 something for 5 batteries from volcano), I won't get any kind of significant discount. If I were to purchase 5 batteries at roughly $55, I would get 13 points, which would give me just $2 off my NEXT purchase... Or, I could go to Totally Wicked and get a 5 pack of atties for $30 along with my 5 pack of batteries, end up spending the same $55 and have essentially 5 e-cigs instead of 5 HALF e-cigs. I wouldn't save the $2, but I think I can trade $2 for 5 atomizers and not lose sleep over it... While volcano has a good idea with the points, the way they're implemented makes them very insignificant. $11 is 55 points. To get 55 points, I'd have to spend $220. So after I spend $220, I can get a free battery. Hooray...

Well, at least their 510 aluminum drip tips are cheaper than Nhaler, and I can't find their KR808-style 510 PCC anywhere else.

Well, it does promote customer loyalty and if you can find the same stuff elsewhere at the same price, wouldn't you rather get a little something extra? Plus I think if someone lists you as a referral, you get 25 bonus points or something like that. It would probably work out better if you bought your juice exclusively from them because your always gonna need juice unless you DIY.

maybe i could find stuff cheaper elsewhere but volcano has never done me wrong so i continue to order from them. as for discount points, if i'm going to be ordering from them anyway a buck or 2 saved adds up.

Well, maybe I'm just different, or maybe it's because I'm from Pennsylvania Dutch country... Or maybe I just get it from my dad, I dunno. But I like to save money and find the best deal I can as much as possible. Volcano sells their 10ml bottles for $8.99. That's about 90 cents an ml. Vapor Renu sells 30ml bottles for $6.99. That's 23 cents an ml. Volcano's juice costs almost 4X as much and gives no options for pg/vg mixture, throat hit, flavor intensity, or options for liquid vitamin c, ginseng, milk thistle, or vitamin B12. Vapor Renu has all of these plus a crapload more flavors. I mean no disrespect to those who like Volcano, and I'm not trying to badmouth them either, but I would never buy juice from them. I like 100% VG, and I can't justify paying the same amount of money for 25% of the volume that I could get. A box of cereal costs like 3-5 dollars... Would you honestly spend 12-20 dollars on a box of cereal? Or a dollar on a pack of wrigley's gum? 2.50-5 dollars on a pack of bubbalicious? What about 20 - 40 on a pack of cigarettes? If you could get all of these things for 75% off of the prices I just mentioned(and you can, as all I did was multiply everything by 4), would you pay those prices? I highly doubt it. Volcano hasn't done me wrong either, but neither has vapor renu or totally wicked. A buck or two saved definitely adds up, but you're not saving anything if you pay more than you have to. I'm nowhere near the penny pincher my dad is, but holy crap. I just can't justify buying much of anything from Volcano. PCC, drip tip, spare L88B parts... that's it.

i agree, the juice is a rip. unfortunately i like their tobacco flavor and haven't found anything similar elsewhere.

i really should order from vapor renu more. i like their juice but i order from everywhere but there and they're the best deal going. i try not to become a creature of habit and try different things but it ends up costing me more in the long run. i'm awful with money sometimes.

 

[Magus86]

lol, it's okay. I'm actually not that great with money myself. I try to find the best deal, but I have a problem stopping myself from spending it in the first place. When grocery shopping I'll actually break out my phone to use the calculator on it to see which thing costs more per oz. or whatever if it's not blatantly obvious at a first glance.

The only other juices I've tried besides vapor renu are blu's pre-filled carts, and they just plain suck. So to me, vapor renu is phenomenal. That may change, should I ever actually try any other juice(it would have to be around the same price. When I first started looking at juice I thought the prices were absolutely ridiculous), but since I'm so happy with them, why change? Besides, they have SO many flavors that I wanna try, and I love the fact that I just asked them to make some new flavors, and they did. They even give credit to the ones who submitted certain flavors on their site. And they have the most kiss-... customer service I've ever seen. I got 2 free bottles just because my order shipped 2 days after their normal shipping time, and I'd asked them what the holdup was.
