Beware of cheap stuff and knock-offs!

yeah, buss, the Dekang liquids sat on a shelf for who only knows how long before they shipped from China, and they're notorious for 'forgetting' to rinse the equipment between batches, and never getting the same 'flavors' from the same flavor names... All in all, I'll never vape any non-US made liquid again...

Thanks as i was wondering. No wonder Madvapes sells this stuff for $11 for 50ml. That is easily 3 times what it is worth... lol. UGH. i thought I was set on juice for a bit... and i HAVE to order some, like right NOW. (I didn't buy it from there, but same juice).

The craziest thing ever though is that every flavor I bought the reviews raved about it. I am thinking these people are comparing it to pre-filled - bad pre-filled. i can barely stand to vape this stuff.

Edit: And I am NOT a picky person. If needed I could smoke weeds from the side of the road.

Most of my business is with two suppliers and I have used warranty service once with each supplier. In both cases I was told "no problem" and they shipped atomizers out the same day. One was a 510 standard atty and the other was an Ego mega cylinder atty, both Joye parts.

I think most suppliers are great at replacing faulty parts and early failures. The suppliers above were Cignot and Awesome Vapor. They both proved their customer loyalty and, as a result, are my two favorites.

BTW, my first Ego battery failure was this month. Its twin brother is still vaping, but showing slightly lower stamina after 5 months of heavy use.

I agree, I think the wholesaler meant 1 battery or something and it all got confused. No big. The basic premise of the thread is correct though - make sure you know the quality of what you are buying. But that is the same with any product.

But as Bob just said, you cannot presume smaller manufacturers have less quality. In many industries smaller companies make better versions of the same as they have less overhead.

Yes you have to know the quality of which you are buying. That's why I don't consider Boge and SLB to be generic. I love Boge cartos and love slb attys.

Man, I have to order more juice... I cannot possibly vape this Chinese stuff. I mean holy cow. It tastes like dog. Perhaps i got a bad batch of EVERY flavor... lol. Seems highly unlikely that every flavor i happened to get a bad batch.....

I am telling you, I have no idea if High Caliber is well regarded, but there is no comparison between it and my Dekang. Perhaps I just ordered 4 flavors and i happened to despise all 4... very unlikely however as one is 555, one is Flu tobacco, etc. I didn't order blueberry cheesecake or something...

Slightly different topic, but the same. You get what you pay for...

sorry I know I'm off topic but I must say:

"Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.
Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play for Blood," remember?
Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't."

...could be my favorite "western" of all!

Somewhat similar... you get what you "play" for... ha ha.

And yes, years ago I knew every word of that movie.... A guy flick, but great movie.

"Well.... Johnny Ringo... you look like someone just walked all over your grave"... That is the line preceding the lines you placed... ...

I would disagree with the OP when it comes to attys and cartos. I have ahd good luck with non joye attys and cartos as well as many others here. A lot of people even prefer the so called off brands over authentic joye. I would try to get authentic joye batteries though as I have heard some complaints about the off brands.
