Just found a wee site selling batches of 21 CE4 clearomizers for $33.06 and with theexchange rate to pounds it works out about £1-1.10 a clearomizer. I'm sure the majority of e-cig stuff is made in china so the quality is bound to be alright ? Also this person has sold around 20000 of them and not 1 negative review. Anyone else ever bough bulk from china and what has been your experience ?
Buying wholesale Clearomizers from china...Yea or Nah ?

Ive bought things directly from the manufacturer in China. There is no guarantees. Id order a small quantity first if you happy then buy the 5 year supply also remember whats great today may suck 2 months from now as delivery systems change so quickly. Ive been happy with my purchases.
I bought the 7 pack of CE6s from fasttech before and they have been great to me. They did need a little help like trimming the wicks, but overall they have been great!
I had several good bargains buying direct from China until one order arrived with several broken items. If you are prepared to return ship with proof of postage at your cost then go ahead and order. If you are prepared to throw away any broken or defective items and chalk it up to experience then go ahead and order. It's a lottery.
I would, however, recommend fast tech simply because their return policy is good and they will reimburse postage costs for defective items.
A word of warning though; All the generic clearomisers for sale have huge variations in their resistance. Anything from 1.6 - 2.8 ohms making most of them unusable on ego batteries.

Who said they were knockoffs? I haven't heard of non Chinese clearos.
I have been buying china cheepies and genuine Vision stardusts. It had been hit or miss for both. I use them on my eGos and not stellar but do the job for me. Much better to at least have one spinner/twist, VV, as their ohms are not so well calibrated. I have found most to be OK. Some rock, some DOA. But the cheepies price is right for me. So I continue to buy them. I like that they are light weight and not a hunk of hardware.
I got 20 510T atomisers at about $2 each, they are as good as the Totally Wicked Titan ones priced at $10.
It's not about supporting US/UK firms, they just buy the stuff from China anyway. If they buy at $2 and sell at $10, the Chinese company makes $2, the middleman makes $8 and the citizen pays $10. If you buy direct, the Chinese company gets $2 and the citizen gets the product he wanted and $8 left in his pocket.
When virtually everything you buy is made in the Far East why not buy direct.

+1, the markup on this stuff is huge, and it has to come from somewhere before our suppliers can sell it to us.
I purchase MOST of my CE4 clearos from chinabuye.com. It saves me a lot of $ and I have not had a failure rate any higher than the failure rate I experienced when buying CE4 from US vendors. Heck, the things are made in China anyhow.. just be prepared to wait 30-45 days to receive your shipment.
