Has anyone ordered from 3A vape? I placed an order Thursday, the money came out of my account Friday, and nothing has happened since.

3Avape - I decided to cancel my 3A vape order for the Armour pro and katana mods because I found other things I would rather have elsewhere and they told. me that they had no ETA for either mod as to when they would ship. So I decided to cancel.

They quickly canceled my order on the website, said refund would take up to 48 hours. But 48 hours have passed and no refund. Will give another 48 hours and then file dispute.

Vapesourcing - been trying to cancel an order for over 2 weeks. Contacted 3 or 4 times. They finally responded and said 48 hours for refund. Yet they never cancelled the order on the website and still no refund. Filed dispute yesterday. Very unresponsive and hard to deal with. And there was an article on Vaping360 where they claimed they have been back to work with full staff for weeks. :lol: SO they have no excuse for the poor and unresponsive customer service.

I won't order from Vapesourcing ever again. This is not the first time I had problems with VS, but it is the last, I promise you that. They will probably block me from ordering after the dispute anyway lol.

Nope. Even the clearance stuff isn't necessarily in stock. 3A vape told me the katana & armour mods were not yet shipping as it depends on when the manufacturers getting back up to speed.

Isn't the Wismec Luxotic BF Squonk Mod the one that people on the stocking up thread were having problems with not firing after very little use?
Agreed..lifespan out of the box 2weeks-2months per usage...then you get to redesign it into a mech. Not as easy as you would expect...i put a top value on it as $5..because it is hand friendly... Without the hand friendly aspect I would put it in the $1 range.

For those of you that like Sense V-Jet tanks or Herakles III tanks and need V-jet coils here is a pretty good deal.

Sense Herakles III Sub-Ohm Tank $5 each

Sense Vjet Tank $2.50 each

Sense V-Jet Replacement Coil - 5PK $2.50 each

Use BM2020 for 20% off - yes works on these items even though they are on clearance

I have ordered from LightFire many times and never had any issues and orders were shipped fast. Only issue is their shipping is a bit pricey at $10 unless you spend $75 before discount code applies. Not much difference between the 2 tanks so I would go with the V-Jet tank.

This was mostly clearance stuff, so they have it in stock. I figure they could be under staffed, but it would be nice if they indicated such on their website.

I really just wanted to know if anyone has ordered from them and gotten any results.

FYI: As I posted here: Are you done stocking up?

Okay - Done with 1) Heaven Gifts - 2) lightfire - 3) ejuicesteals,- and 'now 4) 3avape . . Items list for sale at reasonable/cheap prices and can be put in cart - then all of a sudden, after Ya' pay, [A week later - got email] items that Ya' purchased to go with other Items, are not available (even though they are still listed on their website as available) . . . Then they want to cancel half the order and still send Ya' the rest and then will credit your account for a future order . . . 3 or more weeks later and numerous emails back & forth - Finally get them to just cancel the total order . . . IMHO - This is getting to be the new norm for these companies/vendors . . . Just an FYI . . . :-x :censored:


SO - No, IMHO - Not a Good Vendor to deal with . . . ;)

I've had three orders with them, one from three years ago and two in the last 45 days. All arrived intact and complete. The 1/21 order I placed arrived yesterday but between the new year and virus I can live with it. I took a chance with another order on 2/22 and it reached the shipper last week and is in the "preparing to dispatch" status now, so likely about a three to four week turnaround. Overall I've had no problem other than the long delay for recent orders. Maybe I've been lucky.

Somewhere out there

I have two tracking numbers from 3A that are showing handoff to the carrier. This was from the Armour Pro and some other mod.

ooops. Went back to look at my email from 3A.

It was only the Katana mods (on clearance) they told me were not shipping yet, not the Armour. Thanks for posting your experience.

:blink: That's a strange request . . . AND - Actually - I can't, it was over a couple of months ago now and I do not keep a list of what I could/couldn't get - Nor would I want too . . . GEES - Why would I . . . :rolleyes:

What is important and the point of the post (replyng to @MikeADore) was, I felt "S_C_R_E_W_E_D" by the vendors I listed (not just one) and what happened with "3avape" in particular . . . More Importantly - IMHO (Yes - "My" Personal Opinion) - I found all of these vendors, not to be either reliable, nor customer service friendly at all in a number of ways (and from reading others post about having the same or similar problems it seems that others feel/felt the same way) . . . So . . . WITHOUT-A-DOUBT, I would not "deal" with them again . . . :-x :censored:

YMMV / "Your" Personal Opinion might be different . . . However, this is "My" Personal Opinion . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

No need to apologize. Some may have just gotten defective units. I was just curious if this was the same mod because they all run together anymore lol.

Besides, you aren't the one that posted it, you just posted the link :)

Don't apologize.... More people than not got a bum mod.. We are here to help each other.

Think of it this way.. You innocently brought it up.. &I warned about it.. Maybe save someone from a $30 brick.

I'm sure someone out there has a perfectly working mod who would very much disagree with me.. I tried to seal up the chip twice.. It didn't work for me.

Probably best to paint the chip with clear fingernail polish before use then. That and trying to seal the leak they are notorious for should help extend the life of the mod substantially.
