Anyone try Giant Vapes

[mirandag819]

I placed an order about three hours ago and they have already sent me the tracking number. I hope that means it actually shipped today.

In my experience, it means they have actually shipped. I usually get my package (from RI to VA) in 1-2 days. The only time it took longer they still dropped it off right away and the post office was really really slow (even though it was sent priority)... even though it wasn't their fault, Mike sent me a discount code for a future order.

There is still some juice lines that I like not at GiantVapes, but like I said, hopefully he keeps growing.

You can see if those vendors will send samples in 0-6mg/mL.. I'm pretty sure they only put up things they sample and like or can see other people liking. They don't carry everything from every vendor.

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

Yeah, the Post Office is taking their sweet time with this one (again). I know they made some cut backs and the weather is bad. I just wish the tracking wouldn't say it will be here "Monday, February 10" if it isn't going to be here then. I really wish they wouldn't do that. It doesn't benefit anyone.

Giant Vapes did in fact ship it on Saturday but according to the tracking it's still in Providence, RI. No "Departure" scan as of yet.

I'll let you know how the caRnY4 compares to R Y U No 4? - I don't think the flavors they offer in the "Prime" line excite me enough to drop the $22 on them, but I've heard really good things. I hope you get your samples.

By the way - are you in Kentucky, as your name seems to imply? If so, it's nice to see a fellow Kentuckian here.

Why, yes! I'm in Lexington. How about you?

 

[VapinNathan]

Yes I've ordered from then and they're good.

I've used them so has my dad, great vendor imo. Mike is a good guy, very patient and helpful! I had a lot of questions, he answered all of them, and gave me some very solid juice recommendations!(By phone, not email) Five Stars from me, excellent experience everytime I've used them!

I'm jealous, you have some vape shops and easy access to a variety of craft beer!

I'm from Ashland, but I moved out to the middle of nowhere when I got married - I actually enjoy it quite a bit. Anyway, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Go Cats!

I really like the customer service and they ship very fast. I also called them and they spent all the time with no rush and answered all my questions . I will buy from them again for sure..

Well my order was supposed to be delivered today, but I was at work all day. After not finding it in my mailbox when I got home, I checked the tracking and it showed a notice of attempted delivery was left (it wasn't). I guess they require a signature? That's a bummer, I'll be at work the rest of the week, including Saturday, and my local post office closes for an hour during my lunch break. I'm so sad. Lol.

For whatever it's worth, I have ordered three times from Giant Vapes and neither time did my vape mail require a signature. My orders were all small orders.

I know that USPS automatically requires a signature for items insured for $200 or more but aside from that they shouldn't unless the sender requested signature confirmation.

Would it be possible to contact your local Post Office with the tracking number and ask them to instruct your carrier to leave it in the mailbox?

It's definitely worth a shot. Thanks for the info! My order wasn't that big, less than $100.00. It's weird because I live in the middle of nowhere and have never had to sign for any vape mail. Vaperev requires a signature, but they give you the option to waive it. Oh well, I'll get it figured out somehow.

 

[suspectK]

I've never had to sign... I've ordered from them at least 10 times.. my orders are never under $100 either. USPS is cutting a lot of corners lately...sucks to expect something in your mailbox, especially juice, and it not be there.

There's really only 2 vape shops that I know of, but I will only go to 1 of them-AltSmoke. The other one is a mom and pop, but they have been very rude to their neighboring business owners in the area and I don't support that. So I won't go there. I don't even remember what it was called.

Yes, lots of craft beers. But Blue Moon is still my fave.

I'm familiar with Ashland and eastern KY...As I am originally from WVA. I grew up in Clarksburg. Moved to Lex at 18 and never looked back. Kentucky has been good to me.

GO CATS! We are watching the game right now.

That really is strange...I've never had to sign for an order from Giant Vapes...wait a minute...I think one time I chose a different shipping option and the mailman did leave a note instead of my package. But there were instructions on the note on how to handle it...you could pick it up or go online and schedule a re-delivery and you can even leave instructions for no signature I think.

In fact, just take the tracking number and go online and see what you can do. Here is a link to schedule a re-delivery. See if it helps! https://redelivery.usps.com/redelivery/

Indeed it does! Especially since the tracking originally showed and expected delivery date of yesterday - when I was off work! Haha. Oh well, you just gotta roll with the punches right? It's not like I don't have enough juice to hold me over.

Thanks! I actually just checked the tracking again and they had the option to authorize shipment release - I just had to create an account and leave instructions on where to leave my packages. Apparently this gives them authorization to leave any package, which is fine by me!

Well that's terrible that the mom and pop in Lexington isn't friendly with their neighboring business owners, I wouldn't support that either! I've heard good things about AltSmoke though.

I do love me some Blue Moon, but I'm a big fan of stouts and porters - my wife and I try to make it a point to go to Hamburg at least once every couple of months to eat at Old Chicago and I always have to drive over to The Liquor Barn... they carry a creme brulee stout from Southern Tier that is freaking delicious (if you like that sort of thing) and impossible to find around here. Last time we went, Old Chicago had it on tap!

My brother-in-law lived in Lexington for a few years and I fell in love with it from visiting so much. I know it's not a huge city, but it's one of my favorite "big" cities.

Yum...OLD CHICAGO! They also just opened a Frisches and a Red Lobster, and of course it feels like they are opening a new store every day. And that Liquor Barn is HUGE! I go to stock up on my Sailor Jerry's and they have an awesome olive bar. I'm going over that way tomorrow for an appointment, I may just have to swing by LB to get my fix.

Well I got my order from Gian Vapes and R Y U No 4? was the first liquid I loaded up to try - I dripped it in my Patriot on a 1.2ohm coil and set my PV to 12 watts - it is definitely yummy! I got it in 6mg and it has enough throat hit for me (I'm not a huge throat hit guy) and PLENTY of vapor. It reminds me of a smoother Tribeca from Halo, but WAY better! Definitely a re-order! Thanks for throwing it out there Schmidty!
I also got Mother's Milk and Derailed from Suicide bunny and caRnY4 and Mr. Cookie from G2. The only other juice I have tried so far is Mother's Milk and as I was vaping it the other day, it hit me that it tastes a lot like one of those strawberry wafer cookies - the ones that came in a pack with chocolate and vanilla. I'm liking it quite a bit so far. The caRnY4 is next on my list to try - it smells like an RY4 with some popcorn or caramel corn undertones.
