Beat the Winter blues Contest

[RaceGun59]

just a question for all entered in the contest do you experience other vendors, ecf or elsewhere that interact with customers, fellow vapers or customers to the degree that I would like to think that I do? just curious

I think you are right in the top with your customer service and interaction with fellow ECF users. Your contests promote way more interaction between yourself and those posting then almost any other. I have come to think of your online store as a nice crossover between the local B&Ms and the super site online stores.

2/20 entry 5

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. I like to have both kinds available, but I know everyone has their own opinion. On different notes;

I don't think I have tried any aspire products except for my friend's nautilus mini which I borrowed for a few days and really liked. But for me, the kanger tanks are my preference. And on the topic of your participation in this thread, I am impressed and enjoying your input. I don't think I've seen any other contest with the vendor interacting nearly as much. It is great to see and you have a nice way and attitude too

Thanks for the thread and contest!

the sigh was because kanger spanked it out of the park w/the subtank line and then produced a Li-po device. I know they did it to keep up with the Isticks and mvp's etc ( I am personally not a fan of Li-po disposable mods just my ) It would have made me happy if they had made a 18650 device capable of 5 to 50 watts again just my

edit: I have always liked Kanger over aspire... and again just my
like juice flavors everyone is different and taste and product use/likes is subjective.
thanks for entering the contest!

I have to agree that I like mods, either tube or box, that I can switch out batteries. I would like to get a hold of a dead VTR or MVP and pop it open to look inside. I have a couple of non ecig sties saved that specialize in batteries.

Something I would like is Mr.Owl....
Mr Owl RDA

*I will give a review after I get it....**
(TY Bruce)...

word of caution, always keep your Mister Owl, Blindfolded , keep shiny objects hidden and for extra security, tie down it's 510 connection. I found mine had a stash of pretty things and he creeps me out by always staring at me...

But when I use him, he is a good buddy, just watch him when not using him....

Ah, so this is the shiny thing stealing culprit?

had to be him as the dogs have no interest unless it is chewable... For once Mister Owl wouldn't stare at me when I asked.

after I tied him up, nothing went missing again.

 

[powerband]

Some do, most don't. Not sure I can mention names of those that do, but some are as good as you in their chatting and just relaxing with the posters.... Others post their contests and that is it til it's over....

was just curious as I dont get out much Ha Ha! well, out into the ecf pond, no allowed to, draw back of vendor status

 

[super dave]

these are really ellegant and well built mods 1.2# w/o a battery, indeed it is versatile being able to be used w/a 26650 or 18650 battery, the Dynast is also a dual battery mod like the Kriptonite

Yes this mod is a beauty & a beast too @ 1.2 lbs & I do like the battery choices and in looking at other mechanicals, if I had a choice and could only get one, I might think & choose the Chi Megan! As in thinking of another mech I have that can be used with an 18350 or two stacked, or just the 18650. Well, I think those 18350 batts have been sitting without use for a long, long time and there is no comparison in mah value, so I just always use the 18650's but it's nice to be able to have a choice but still in my thinking, I don't think I'd stay with the 18650's for long, as the same thing I said of the other's but there again it would be nice for the choice & no matter what, the Kryptonite seems to be one fine piece that I will add it to my collection sometime & for sure the Chi Megan also...and who knows what else but what the heck, why not? Well I do try & not get carried away with things & I really don't have too many devices & such but what I do have are pretty darn nice & lasting pieces I think!
Thanks for the info reply powerband & thanks for this great vaping contest, I'm really enjoying reading all the info & interesting stuff from everyone here and to be able to reply and I really like your Cactus Esmokes site as well...Hey it's nice meeting you and thanks for everything!

I haven't run across any that do to your extent, it's nice to know you're interested in feedback and stocking what we want, not just pushing whatever you may have in stock. Get that feeling from some...has kept me from ordering from them, or even participating in their contests.

Thanks RG I appreciate that as I just think of myself as a fellow vaper more than a vendor, didnt get into vape sales to get rich but to try and get wanted products out to fellow vapers as less expensive as i could and as a fellow consumer I want good CS and quick shipping myself.

drives me crazy when I see "shipping label created" then a day later I see "picked up at/by" and then 4 days later its out for delivery.... 1 state away.
I get my orders to the east coast 1 or 2 days quicker.
I personally take my orders to the post office and usually w/i one to a couple of hours after the order is placed depending on how busy I am that day.
I know that when people here in the Arizona ( the valley and most of the state) order from me its a 24 hour period to their mailbox.

best time to order from me is between 3pm and 9am M-Sat. Arizona time (Arizona has its own time zone and we never do daylight savings) as the order will go out first thing in the morning. and yes I do Saturday post office runs I know many shops wont ship a Friday thru Monday order until Monday afternoon

I dont meant to toot my own horn but stuff like that matters to me so I know its a + for my customers

The VTR uses replacable IMR 18650s....biggest drawback is their size and weight...you can use them for some forearm curls between puffs....

Thank You... of course you dont know me that well yet Ha Ha!
I have my stubborn streaks with certain aspects in the realm of vapism Ha ha!

yea, if your a good gizmologist you can replace those batteries. they are available in the hobby world just have to have a little bit of experience in the electronics world to do it

Oh Bruce pushes, how do you think I got into dripping. he sent me a Free starter dripper (an A-6) and some wire, Santa Joan sent me some Rayon and after a couple of weeks of failure, I got the basic hang of it. darn, Bruce and Joan... it helps that after i got a bigger dripper, it became real easy as i was not messing with a tiny single coil dripper with screw top and no space. laughs.
can't say how much help, I got from the folks on Bruce's Threads..(alot) .. But My vaping game really went up....

Online, I feel as though I get a lot of mass produced email. I don't really mind it... I read it, if it interests me I visit the site and peruse. If it doesn't, I can click trash as easily as the next person.

Through the ECF I feel like I begin to know some of the vendor and that puts at ease. Some still spam... but it feels a bit more personal.

On this thread, I feel very good... it's great to be asked opinions. It's great to receive straight answers and honest opinions.

B&Ms? They've got bills to pay, and I understand that. I have bills to pay, too. However, I often feel as though I'm beneath contempt if I am not buying that $350 gold plated one-of-a-kind mod that they're pushing. If I go in and want $5 worth of juice, don't tell me I need a $xxx mod.

Online is easier in that regard.

yea, having what people want is the only way I can do this. I want to sell what people want and I want to sell a good product not junk stuff, its one reason I like to stock Ehpro, IMO they are one of if not the top quality manufacturers in the market many other cloners/suppliers buy their product from one of a few manufacturers and sell it under names I cant mention here, Ehpro is different in that they produce their own products and dont buy from a mass source supplier.

eciggity contracted from Ehpro for a reason

yea I had to send you something to play with of course that world has changed and if it were today I would send you a quite different product Ha Ha!
I do however have a box of those Chinese frustration puzzles stashed away for anyone daring enough to try, heck if you can learn to rebuild on a A6, trident, patriot or nimbus then the others are a piece of cake Ha Ha!

Congrats to those with a milestone!!

I find myself in the odd position of my 3 year vaperversay is coming up, but also I am just a month back off smokes. Hit a major snag over a year ago now and spent a year + living in a homeless encampment, seemed just about everyone there smoked, and my stress was through the roof and I had started smoking again.

Things are much better now. In an apartment, got my vape stuff going and back off cigs. And taking measures to insure that doesn't happen again.

That just goes to prove what a precarious position as former smokers, we are in. It doesn't take much to push many of us over the edge and if the politicians really cared about our health, they would do everything possible to make it easy for us to keep on vaping.

I'm glad your situation is better now, and that you are back to vaping!
