I used to smoke almost two packs a day when I was in college years. After two semesters, I noticed selling e-cigs at small (local) grocery store. I bought e-cig kit right away, and long story short - I did run away and cut strings from Marlboro Red!

I've GOOD experience in web development (which is my major) and am building website and planning to sell e-liquids online. I'd like to sell other eliquid brands on my website. At fasttech.com, their e-liquid prices are very competitive for certain market segments and I'd like to make bulk order for e-liquids (50 - 100 bottles) on different brands from fasttech to MA, USA. After reading some complaints about e-liquids seized / held by US customs, I'm bit worried of ordering those from fasttech. Why would you guys do when your orders were stuck at such places? Any experiences and suggestions?

Yes, I found one long thread on FastTech at this forum but as a newbie, I'm not allowed to ask / post those areas except this place. Please help me and guide me through. Looking forward and thank you very much.

If you're ordering eliquids from China to sell to others then you had better put that in your advertising.

Most people do NOT want Chinese eliquid since there is absolutely no quality control of the ingredients at all. Is that food grade VG they are using, or is it meant for commercial fog machines? Do you know? If you don't then why would you sell it to someone else to ingest?

I tell everyone I know to only buy liquids with FDA approved GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredients. If they aren't then you could be vaping antifreeze for all you know.

Thanks C-Average!
Yes, me too. I really don't believe (less harsh word = think) e-liquid from China has strict controls and standards over ingredients. But it'd be better if the customers has choices before they hit buy button. But I should have to agree with you on Chinese stuff, displaying on my website for sake of buyers. Again, thanks man. I need a rethink.

Maybe investigate more, China has been doing this for something like 12 years. They have a big leg up on us, it would be hard to believe their major companies were doing something harmful as they also sell in many other countries. A lot of the cheaper juice here is rebranded Chinese stuff, that is kind of funny, because they have loads of it to sell from their huge factories. I've used it and its cheaper like most things from there, it tends to be more 'mellow' while US flavors are stronger and I get tired of them faster (far as using them for an all day vape). I assume over the years they have figured that out. I didn't have any issues with shipping though its slow, but also takes them time to fill the order, then time to move it to the postal service, all before it even ships out of China. Last order was Singapore post as they will do liquids some will not. It takes 3-4 weeks if they have it all in stock, make sure you check your order on your account and keep track of it or they will hold it for restock unless you cancel that item. I just had one that took around 2 months because I let them wait. I had one bottle leak some the top was not tight, messy but only 20% of it, everything else was ok most things are wrapped separately. Other orders were fine.

I'd like to preface this by saying this is my personal opinion.

Next, congratulations on quitting the stinkies!

As for the website, I think its a good idea for someone to start their own business. If you'd like to make a profit by buying at low prices and providing a convenience over competitors (shipping time, in this case) why not just make your own? You'd be able to say with certainty what your ingredients are and know what quality standards are upheld

I don't know a ton about different juices, as I'm new to the scene, but I gather that quality of juices and their ingredients coming from China are questionable at best.

Just because a lot of countries purchase it doesn't make it better. Again, my personal opinion is that if things are able to be made cheaper, there's a reason.

I would much rather pay a slightly higher price to know what I'm ingesting.

If its brand names your worried about, you can still buy domestically at wholesale and sell at retail and supplement the profit you're making with your own new brand that you create.

:facepalm: unfounded scare tactics again CA?

Hangsen e-juice has been around for years and is a well respected e-juice from China, as is Dekang. Don't let my xenophobic friend here put you off.
