They're a chain of truck stops that also sell eleaf OEMs.

But, yeah. To your point regarding the possible age of those 40w is a bit of a deal breaker.

Just got my tracking # for the coils I bought from StevensWholesale yesterday. :banana:

This isn't exactly a bargain bin sort of post but on the site Stevens wholesale they have iSub coils which look exactly like the coils you use in the Ajax tank which I know places have them for 10 $12 a pack I like the tank I'm not in love with it I'm not paying $10 to $12 a pack for those coils but I'm reading sporadically that Ajax is considered one of the I sub serieswhich makes sense cuz it first made its appearance I think on the MVP5.. does anyone have any idea if they fit? The isub coils in the Ajax that is.. This is what makes me think they are. And then people also say you can use the Ajax coils in something called the Apex there's just so many different innokin tanks that it's making me crazy

I'm pretty well set, but could use a couple more 4ml ZLIDES or some Zenith tanks .. I've got 400 coils stashed so I think I'm good there ..

So, if anyone sees any deals, a heads up would be great ..

You missed a really super deal on the full size, 4mL, Zeniths in SS...when I found them on a US website for $8.70 each on Dec. 22nd. I bought 10 for myself and several friends. Then I posted about the deal in the Innokin Zenith MTL thread because they still had 36 in stock. Had people PM me to find out where they were and the exact price...so members, not lurkers, would get first dibs at them. Also, didn't want any other vendors to snap them up and resell them on their website for much more! (I know for a fact that's happened in the past, and wanted to prevent it again.)

After getting more than a dozen PMs from people, who then bought some and said they wouldn't "spill the beans" (post) about where they were...I checked with the vendor on the quantity still left. The lady said she'd just found another shipping box full of them...so they had at least 70 more!

ETA: Once I saw that someone else had posted openly about where they were...I figured they'd go fast, not only to members, but likely to lurkers and other vendors. So I went ahead and posted about them, too, in the Are You Done Stocking Up thread. They were all gone then by Feb. 23rd.

Now I'm depressed .. :(

I've passed up on a few deals that were outrageously good but have gotten so many that I have no complaints. Many were turned up by the great members here!

I think my vaping hobby since 2016 has been deal hunting. It's been fun but the end is drawing near.

This thread is for posting links to fantastic deals, not keeping secrets. ;)

When I find a deal, I'm gonna post it here or/and on the Are You stocking up thread. If someone misses it, how is that my fault? It's absolutely ludicrous to even think that someone who posted a deal did something wrong because by posting it someone else lost out. :eek: The real sour grapes comes from the fact that SOMEONE'S FRIEND'S lost out. NOT. MY. PROBLEM!

I posted that deal for the Zenith 2 times in this thread, once in December 2020 and once in Feb when I saw they they were still in stock, to help keep this thread alive.

I'm pretty sure I came across another deal on Zenith tanks last week or so but I have to remember what it is. I will post it here if I remember what it is. But if you miss cannot be made to be responsible or guilty for you missing it. :rolleyes:

I don't know what every single person is looking for. Besides I have wasted a lot of time finding people deals (at their request) only to have them tell me they decided to not stock up or stick with their ego batteries, AFTER THE FACT! I won't bother being someone's person shopper anymore. The deal get's posted publicly. FCFS.

    I agree. These people can Google what they're looking for as well as you or I can. It doesn't hurt the newbies to ask the old timers, because, we often would get emails from the vendors, but to do the actual shopping is too much. And to expect personal private deals, keeping it secret from others...what makes you better than the next person, just because you posted first? Ask away, but rest assured the reply will be public. And open your own search engine of preference to do your own shopping.

    Just to be fair. Using only Google sucks because most vape websites suck at SEO or don't even engage in it. That's why it is important to be subbed to this thread, the are you stocking up thread and even the mail band thread as that has also been known to turn up some deals (because, let's face it, there's only so much you can say about a vape mail ban and then it just becomes redundant).

    If you folks are referring to my above post, I'm not asking for a PM heads up ..

    It used to be, when a fellow member asked about something, helpful people would step in if they had any info related to what the member was asking ..

    Now, it sounds like people are somehow offended ..

    Willie, nothing wrong with asking here. I don't think that post had anything to do with your post.

    Plus the shinyitis thread, and many of the other threads, will discuss good deals. Using other search engines may help too. There are deals to be found, but you got to look. They ain't coming to you.

    When I posted this deal the cart was showing 10 in stock, then last night when you made your post there were 7 in stock and there are still 7 in stock. Did you ever figure out what's stopping you from checking out?
    Yeah, it was a case of me being boneheaded, tired, and maybe a wee bit too much wine. So, it seems you have to have and account and be signed in before you can order. When I went back and tried again tonight, the site told me what the problem was. Ordered with no further problems.

    Yes - It may have not been meant for "Uncle Willie". . . However it was totally inappropriate and abusive to the person with whom you are supposedly reprimanding in your post without naming them - nor quoting their post . . . You took it personally as though you were being accused, by obscurely referencing "Secrets" being kept . . . There was Absolutely NO NEED for "Your" Uncalled For Rant, especially since you were neither mentioned - nor "Tagged" or Called Out in any previous post . . . You of all people who take others words and the information from their post - AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY POSTED THE INFORMATION BEFORE YOU and then repost that information elsewhere as though you found the information first and on your own without quoting them/their original post (can we say - plagiarism) . . . :rolleyes:

    NOT NICE ! ! !
