best way/place to buy bulk products?

[Kyi]

I work at a private club where customers and employees alike are always asking about my PV and wanting to try it. Lately, I've had a lot of people ask me if I will order them one and they will pay me back for it, I always say I'll look into it or suggest a few websites to them, but they always just want me to get it instead since they don't know what to order and would rather not deal with the hassle of it. For me, I'd love to help them all, but in the end, I don't really see me gaining very much from it except charging my card and expecting them to compensate me for it. However, with an increasing amount of people asking me for kits and what not, I was just wondering, if I decided to just order bulk, how would I go about that? Should I just find a vendor and ask them for wholesale prices or order from China? I'm guessing some kind of eGo style kit would be good and maybe T3 clearos since they're easy to fill and replace the heads to? I already have a ton of juices so I'm just going to let them sample mine. The only thing I worry about is when they run out of stuff or if something breaks or goes wrong, they will be constantly bugging me about it and since I'm not really looking to make a profit, it seems like it'd be a hassle. But I do want to help people stop smoking cigarettes and at least give a few sets out to my good friends (and good tippers), so I think I'm gonna do it! Otherwise I'll never hear the end of it from everyone at work!!

I'm thinking just 10 sets to start off with? Any advice from people who have ordered in bulk before?

Health Cabin is probably the cheapest and have discounts for larger orders and free shipping offers. They also have Christmas sales.

You usually receive orders quickly but you must also be prepared to wait patiently if there is a bottle neck anywhere in the delivery system.

If you wish to have orders in your hand quickly you should only order within your own country, regardless of which country you are in.

ETA: Don't expect to please everyone or to be appreciated for your efforts! You may be asking for more headaches than it is worth.

I order from Health Cabin allot and I always get my order in three days, I use DHL as shipping it is higher but if you order quite a bit it is still cheaper. On a side note I can order from a site in Nashville which is just 140 miles from me and it takes 4 to 5 days to get here!!!

Alibaba.com - That's where resellers get most of their product. It allows you to get in contact with a supplier.

I've used Health Cabin also. They're excellent! The prices are very good and they don't carry knock-offs, which you can get with Alibaba.

Normally I'll save up a list until I have $250 or more to order. Then the shipping (via, literally, the slow boat from China) is free. Usually the slow boat takes ten days to two weeks, which is acceptable to me.

Alibaba is just a directory of suppliers. I'm pretty sure Health Cabin is getting their inventory from one of the resellers listed at Alibaba like everyone else. I mean ... even joyetech is a listed supplier at Alibaba.

If it's an official product, it's generally stated in the description. Or you can find out who makes the official product and make sure that's who you are in contact with.

It is a PITA dealing with China, ask anyone who had managed a co-op that dealt with Chinese wholesaler. My suggestion is to get 10 kits from a US supplier while they are having a special on starter kits. Right now is a good time since there are a ton of holiday sales. I would say this would be the best and easiest way to go.

Check out this nice little kit for only $17.49: Ego K Kit Electronic Cigarette | Ecig. Make sure to use their holiday coupon "30PercentOff" to get it at that price.

I think there was, not long ago, a place that had free, or near free cig-like ecigs? Anyone remembre?

This is about the cheapest set-up I've seen-

Wow, that is cheap! Seems like it would be a good place to start for a newb.
