I haven't bought from china in a while, and for sourcemore in particular it's been 2 years and 4 months. Prices on the stuff I bought in my last order haven't changed but shipping's gone through the roof! On my last SM order, shipping was $67 for a bunch of mods and coils (87 units in total, with a weight of 4.2kg). That same exact order is now $156 for shipping lol.
Done.
Done.
I ordered a couple of Innokin Z80 mods from Sourcemore, they were pretty cheap, $24 each. Way cheaper than anywhere in the US. Shipping was $17. Still a lot cheaper than getting them here.
Took 10 days before I got a shipping notification from SM with a shipping company I never heard of. Neither the shipper nor 17Track show the shipping number 4 days later. One of the sites says 14 to 24 days shipping time. One of the sites said they might not arrive until Jul.
Actually that's the first time I've ordered from China since FT closed down. It was an impulsive purchase and probably the last one.
I actually thought it was coming from the US. On the Sourcemore site it said it was coming from a bonded warehouse which I thought meant in the US.
Interesting. I wonder if my large order is the culprit? An order that large comes in a rather large box (about 12x12x24) and is (was) ultimately delivered FedEx. It could be the alternate carriers they use are insane on large packages. I might try to split the order up to see what total shipping would be if each package in under a certain weight.
I ran a sample order the other day at Sourcemore and they wanted $25.81 to ship ten boxes of gti coils.
I just checked 10 packs of protank coils, which are considerably lighter, and those came (rounded shipping)
10 packs = $15 shipping
20 packs = $20 shipping
30 packs = $26 shipping
40 packs = $30 shipping
50 packs = $34 shipping
Higher than it used to be total cost but likely cheaper to some small extent than buying form USA site, if you can find them anymore. It's just not a "fantastic" deal anymore.
Aaah, the good old days.
I also noticed at Sourcemore the checkout says...
That's new compared to the past. Chinese retailers used to tell you taxes and such are your responsibility. That must be their way of removing one barrier to hitting that "purchase" button. That's figured into cost. I trust it to some degree because I have had to "return" defective products 2 times to SM and they honored it with proof. They sent me new units both times at their expense, no actual return required. Rather painless process.
Anyhow, none of this is too too surprising as I saw people online complaining about costs from Chinese marketplaces like AliExpress going up back when the tariff war thing happened. But I never knew if it was true since people complain about a lot of "facts" that aren't always facts, just ragebaiting.
I wonder if they ship stuff as filters like FastTech used to do. Maybe some of the shipping cost is down to stuff they have to do to avoid the import ban. Or to cover their costs for reshipping stuff that is confiscated by customs.
Nicotine Giant removed nic base from their site sometime at the very end of 2025. I see now they took their site down entirely. That leaves 4 retail suppliers of nic base left in the USA that I know of. List of US Retailers Still Shipping 100mg Nicotine Base
I’m so glad I stocked up long ago when prices were still pretty reasonable.
Yup.
But put it in perspective...
A liter of 100 mg base will last the average DYI vaper several years and costs maybe $120 these days.
How many packs of cigs, could you buy for $120 where you are and how long would they last you if you still had your former habit?
How many disposable vapes could you buy for $120 and how long would they last you?
