Anyone order directly from China or Eastmall?

[wv2win]

As a veteran of ECF pionted out, China is a big mess, and as im finding out by spending some time looking, it may be getting even worse. I found it better, if you like joyetech, to go to their site and try to find if Eastmall is selling genuine joyetech products. There are numerous chinese companies that have start-up dates of 2012, and worst yet are selling "ego-c ", which i have, or vision vivi nova, which i want to try. Assuming the vision vivi nova that everbody is talking about is made by Visionecigar, thats the one i want to get and try. Chinese companies dont seem to care about coping each other and both joyetech and Visionecigar have issued warnings about copycats. Visionecigar lists their partners as Healthcabin and Topchanced. I could only find a list of USA venders on Joyetech. Maybe try under their "news" link. ALL newbe's , like myself, and even veterans, need to be aware of this.

Chinese companies like Heaven Gifts, Eastmall, BestEcigs and Health Cabin have been around since 2009 and have thousands of US customers who give them high marks. I think it is the same here in the US and there are good and bad companies in both locations.

Here is my

10 boxes of Boge cartos from two vendors: Health Cabin (China) and Vapor Kings (USA)

Health Cabin - $4.50 each = $45.00 + $21.00 shipping = $66.00 (Shipping time usually a week from my experience)
Vapor Kings - $5.50 each = $55.00 + $5.50 shipping = $60.50 (Shipping time usually two days from my experience)

Not that much difference. However, for some reason when I have bought cartos direct from china (four times) there have been at least 5-8 cartos in each order that just will not fire. When I have bought cartos from Vapor Kings (three times) I have gotten exactly 3 cartos that have not fired. I realize that all of these cartos come from the same manufacturer, but with the amount of DOA cartos I have gotten direct from China, I will stick with American vendors.

That being said, I have no qualms about ordering other hardware from Health Cabin. That is usually only if I am making a big order for multiple people, that way we share the shipping charge.

I've used HC several times and am pleased.

BUT, I also found THIS DEAL for my v-verts (vaping converts). Not bad for two -T batts, charger et al. Ordered and received 5 kits in about nine days.

Is this an eGo T Copy/knockoff or the real deal?

ETA: ( I know you posted this in may...I'm slow! )

So then what do you use for an atomizer or cartomizer??? They are all made in China. And where does 90% of all vaping supplies come from? - China, the country that invented vaping. And it was a Chinese company that brought suit against the FDA and saved vaping from being banned in this country.

But, and correct me if im wrong, it was an american that has the patent from 1963.

I believe he (the American) was the first gentlemen to design an E-Cig. Whether it was anatomically the same as what's used today I don't know? I remember reading that the technology needed to make it back then was either not available or if it was, cost made it impractical to mass produce due to the retail price point it would've ended up at .

That sounds like what I recall reading also.....i should have just looked it up before posting.
I would think that has to be a copy at that price. I would believe that joyetech sets prices at a certain piont. They are issuing warnings of copycats on their website. Visionecigar is also. Thats not to say that anybody cant take a chance and try it if they wish.

Thankfully I did not see EASTMALL of HEALTH CABIN. I've ordered several times from BEST E-CIG, great service, 5 day shipping. I have an order that should be here tomorrow, 5 EGO batteries for 62.50 + 15.80 shipping. I have not ordered any atty's (atomizers) from China.

Have to be patient and wait for their sales. Recently ordered about $800 of hardware for about $400.00 and free shipping. As for cartos lots of QC issues with Boge and Smok Tech right now.

Being from the UK I'd rather order from the US, as the UK is flooded with Chinese imports.

I agree, I'll order EGO batteries from China but that's it.

I'm using Healthcabin and so far so good. Devices work and if not, they replace them gladly.

Works both ways then

I've ordered multiple items there and received them 10 days later. shipping was also good money-wise. Was satisfied with products I've ordered.

I think I read somewhere that some people here have ordered from China-sells. The website looks legit..... But I have no personal experience.

I would not recommend china-sells. page. I got one of 2 orders I have with them, and they have messed my order good.
They send me wrong batteries, that doesn't fit my lavatube and are horrible and don't hold the charge, wrong atomizers, wrong colour cartridges and when I told them about my complaints, they offer their apology ant told me that they were out of stock the moment I ordered, and that they will try better next time. And they told me that their batteries are excellent quality, and it is I that doesn't understand.
I don't think this is a way to make a business, I have emails to prove my complaint. I hope no one will be unhappy because of this vendor. If there will be anything wrong with your order, something wont work - they will wash their hands and wont offer you any real help.

Well I ordered from these folks - E-CigaretteMate: The Best E-Cigarettes and E-Cigarette Kit Online Shop that was back in September. Since then nothing. Their CS doesn't answer, unless you ask a question about a product, the someone named Rita answers right away. About my order? No reply. Eight weeks and nothing. That was my intro into vaping. Luckily, I found ECF and through this forum found Madvapes and Vaporkings. What a difference! Two day delivery and I'm a happy vaper.

I tried vaporbreak, and I do NOT recommend them as they totally messed up my order - wrong items , missing items, items not a pictured on site, missing parts to items, all in all a totally negative experience. I have been attempting to dontact them since mid October 2012, and they refuse to answer emails, onsite chat "glitches" as soon as I type in that I have a complaint re: my order, and on site email is also never answered. The tracking info is a mess, very inaccurate. AVOID this company, the cheap prices are not worth the aggravation and lack of any customer responsibility is assured that you will have no recourse for their shoddy business practice.
