Well I have been holding off on this review for a couple of reasons. 1.) I am still waiting on a replacement batt to be sent out, but I have enough contact with the owner/operator to feel confident enough to write this out and if something happens with the replacement other than what has been promised I will be sure to post an update.

I have placed 2 orders so far with this vendor, 1 to buy 2 ego kits, about 25 carts and 4 attys. The order took 1 week from order to my door, which is rather long compared to some other vendors but hey, this guys in Alaska from goodness sake. Also he ships USPS priority, so that does help a little.

The order came and all was good, he even sent a sample of peanut butter cup which quickly became my new fav. But (as I mentioned earlier) I had an issue with 1 of the batts which stopped taking a charge all of a sudden about 2 weeks later. So I contacted Dan and he offered to send me a new one, after I sent back the defective one. The issue at that time was that he was waiting on a batt shipment from his supplier--and still is from our last contact with each other. But he assured me he would send a new one out as soon as they get in.

My second order was for a 30ml bottle of peanut butter cup, which as I understand it they brew in-house. Some peaches n cream juice, 25 more carts, 2 attys, and an ac adapter as the kits he sent did not come with one. Well again, the order took 1 week to arrive, but was missing the AC adapter. I emailed Dan again, and he apologized and promptly sent one out.

Communication has been great, and their products seem to be pretty good too. One minor thing I was disappointed about was the ego kits I got were not joye, but bauway. They work well, but I try to stick with the joye products when I can. My original ego from cignot is still kicking ..., and wanted to get one for my GF and an extra for me. So, I gave the GF my batt while we wait for the replacement.

So, to sum it all up, there has been a couple of 'bumps' along the way with this vendor, but he has been more than willing to make things right, and ever threw in 2-10ml bottles of juice with the AC adapter which came in today. All in all, I'd say they are a great vendor. Shipping time is kind of slow but again, they are in Alaska so that's kind of out of his hands. The prices are great, and I especially like their carts. They seem to be joye, and hold up much better than madvapes carts.

Keep up the good work Dan! And I look forward to our continuing relationship. Hope this helps someone who was thinking about ordering from them. Do it, you will be happy, especially if can catch their sales...

Thank you for the review. I just ordered an eGo kit (mega stainless)from Arctic Vapor while on sale last weekend! (now I hope it is in fact an eGo and not bauway) The juice I've ordered from FSUSA and Vaperite are already on their way so I guess I'd better start watching some vids on how to proceed once the unit gets here. =)

Hi Tracy, congrats on your purchase. You'll find that Dan is all about making his customers happy, like I said before I had some bumps in the road but he has always worked with me to me me a happy customer and that is very much appreciated. I plan on posting another update on this review by this weekend when I finally get all of my issues put to bed.

Also, I hate to disapoint you but his kits are bauway... I know I was bummed when I first got mine in...but looking back I should have known because everyone that sells ego kits makes SURE and puts joye if they really are genuine joye's. All in all the bauways work good, but I am going to stick with joye and maybe a mod or two from now on.

PS...try the peanut butter cup!

OK, just wanted to post an update on my full experience with this vendor. I have finally got all of my issues resolved with Dan, and I must say it again, this guy is the best! He replaced the failed batts I got with one of my kits with 2 new ones that appear to be riva batteries, but they seem to be much better. They hold a charge very well and feel heavier that the originals that were sent with the kit.

Dan practically bent over backwards to make things right and for all of your great communication and genuine desire to make the customer happy, I salute you. Seriously, Dan is a great person to work with and I don't hesitate referring people to him. Like others have mentioned the shipping time takes about a week, but hey it's coming from alaska.

Also, his juices are excellent. I finally got around to vaping his chocolate covered cherry and peaches and cream and they are amazing. Seriously, his juices rivals FSUSA in my opinion and for the few that I have tried I think they are actually better (peanut butter cup for example, I think is better than FSUSA's version). Now that being FSUSA does have a bigger selection, and some of their flavors are awesome too. I'm no fanboy, but I would recommend Arctic Vapor to anyone so for anyone who has been think about buying from them, do it, you won't be sorry.

Dan, keep up the good work bro! And Happy thanksgiving to you and yours.

Hey Se77vN!

I am sorry but I am just now seeing your reply to me. I will agree with you that Dan does go out of his way to make things right as I had a carrying case missing from my original shipment. I spoke with his Grandmother (who was very sweet btw!) and she assured me that she would give him the message and he'd get one right out to me. Well, next morning there was indeed an email waiting for me with an apology from Dan and he promised to send it right out. He did and I had it in my hand w/in a week. Like you said, he's in Alaska for goodness sake! (Thought that was pretty cool...no pun intended!) ;)
My kit is a bauway, like you said. It works like a charm though and has never let me down yet. I do have a sample of chocolate covered cherry that I haven't tried yet....but now that I saw your comment, I really must! Thanks again for your reply and I apologize it took me so long to find my way back here. Vape On!~
