Well my curiosity is maxed out. If you can't give up a name how about initials. I can't believe as many vendors there are on ECF that anyone pays ten bucks for shipping. I order from the east coast and get my juice all the way over here just as fast as I do a vendor that's on the west coast so why would you need a Texas vendor anyway?

i'll have to agree with you 100%. 95% of the juices i've tried have no flavor, or vape nothing like the description. Like you, i've spent hundreds, probably closer to a grand in the last 3 months..........for crap that I give away on PIF, or have to try to resell on the classifieds here. It took 3 months until I found my few favorite vapes & vendors

-(not located in Houston yet, but moving here this very weekend). Hype, cravelope & sweet tarts are fabulous
Vapor Renew- The customer service is beyond phenominal!! Juice is inexpensive $8 for 30ml!!! & the flavors are right on point. This company is owned by flavor west (a flavor provider). Jason is great & really goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy. I like Vapor Renew especially, because I can add caffeine to them, and the "renew blend" has different herbal ingredients and I can add B-12 to my juices.
Tasty Vapor is another vendor that is on point with their flavors. You can also create your own mix. They currently sell in just 30ml at a time, but this week will begin with samples. Definitely a must try vendor. No preservatives used in their juices & if you buy their doublers, & add your own nic it's incredibly inexpensive.
GotVapes is located in Sugarland, TX (just south of Houston). i've had "gummy bears" from 4 total vendors & this is the ONLY place that definitely has the flavor right on point. Their "swedish fish" is also just like the real swedish fish we used to buy for as penny candy when we were kids. I've ordered from them many times. Dan is swell do deal with & I've never had a problem with them. I'm extremely pleased with their juice flavors. They don't have a TON of flavors like other vendors, & it's because each flavor goes through stringent testing at their home headquarters in New York. Just recently they've added some new flavors.

Honestly, I can't even recall all of the vendors i've bought from in the past 3 months. (I suppose I could pull out my bag of receipts, because I save each and every one)...........but it really IS unreal how much BAD juice is out there & how many places ship either slowly, or just plain suck at customer service.

On ebay, the seller is charged by ebay a percentage of the price of the item they sell. And they charge a lot. So if the person sells something for $1.00 and $10.00 for shipping, they only pay ebay a percentage of $1.00. They don't let people do that anymore, buy that's the reason. Plus, the seller has to pay paypal too (which is owned by ebay). So the seller gets ripped off.
That's the reason people do that- not that it's right.

If you wanna sell on ebay, you've made your bed, now lay in it. The seller should NOT pass their seller fees onto the buyer & I think in the past year ebay has put some precautions in place that the asking price can't be super low & shipping fees inflated (so that the seller doesn't have to pay ebay so much)

Very true. That bugs me so much when people do that. I get why they do it- but it still bugs me.:laugh:

I usually get my liquid from Totally Wicked e-liquid.. Runs about $30 for 30ml, but it does the trick..

Their juice got me away from regular cigs, so despite the price I still by that incredibly expensive liquid gold from time to time.

also someone on the thread mentioned DFWVapor if you live near the dfw area, sometimes they can meet up with you if you are strapped for juice and time. Plus their juice is consistantly good.

I don't think it matters where someone ships from if the service is good. So don't limit yourself to finding a great vendor in TX, just a great vendor in general. :)

I agree! I have ordered from 4 vendors and bought at a local smoke shop. Flavors were off/weird and the smoke shop pack (6 flavors) had ZERO flavor except for menthol.

Then I ordered from Vapor Bomb and what a difference! Their liquid is flavorful right out of the mailbox. They are in Ohio, and I'm in Minnesota, and I've ordered 4 times and I've received my order in 3 days each time.

I've been getting all my juices from Freedom Smoke USA and all my hardware from Liberty Flights.
Both of these companies have excellent products, prices customer service and fast shipping.
I had a really disappointing experience with one company that seems to be really popular on ECF, but I'd prefer not to mention their name, I don't want to slam them, I just won't ever do business with them again.
Their "Hello- my name Peggy" approach to customer service is terrible.
Here's their response to me when I tried to return something....

You can send those back but we would have to charge for return shipping and we don't keep your credit card on file...and we can't be sure how long it will take us to process items that are mailed in like this as we are a bit backed up....Just a bid of advice: I'd just order what you need and maybe try to sell those in classifieds or give them a try. This would be less complicating for all concerned.

I am new to Vaping, only 3 months now. I have learned some hard lessons, but lately, even after hundreds of dollars of ordering I feel like I am getting jerked around.

I ordered 5 different liquids, all fruits, and every single one had zero taste. Next I noticed, one of the vendors i was using was charging $10 + dollars for shipping but when I got the package, the charge was $1.67. (by the way, this shipping was 66 miles away.) How is this right in anyway?

I live in Texas, anyone who can suggest a vendor, it would be appreciated.

If customer service is not your first concern, you probably should not be in business. I am not going to list names, because some of my issues could be mistakes or even my fault. However, if someone would like my $100 a month ordering, let me know.

Texas? DFW Vapor they're out of Lewisville. Good customer Service, decent prices. $6.00 shipping takes about 2 days to get your stuff. I hear if you live fairly close sometimes he will even drive to meet you with it if you email him and ask. I live a bit further out than that. If you like fruity try his Slurm tastes like fruit stripe gum. Some of his flavors are lighter than others but so far I haven't found one I couldn't vape. :). Hope this helps.

Everytime I go there I read that one particular thread- I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about. Pretty shocking.

I think I know which one you're talking about...very disappointing cs given the fact that the product, in general, has received rave reviews.

I believe Vapor Station is in texas... Great juices. Quality

Hey man I'm in Mass too, you ever get juice from Vermont Vapor? I'm a menthol person and thier Cool Mint is pretty good and being so close it comes in 2 days. Lately tho I been getting stuff from Tasty Vapor and mixing up my own stuff, I got a menthol recipe that will clear your sinuses like a muhF!@#er lol, and its a lot cheaper to DIY. Where do u mostly get your juice from tho? Any favorites?

In the Houston area, there are 2 major vendors if u need local service. Alvin e-cigs and electronic cigarettes of houston. You never said what part of the state you live in, so I figured i'd throw those out there in case u were down here. I got my starter kit, an eGo, from the ecoh dealer. His stuff is a flat $5 shipping. I've never dealt with alvin e-cigs, but I've heard nothing but positive comments about them. My eGo rocks, and he carries all replacement parts at reasonable prices.
