Canada, U.S., China, UK???????

I would just like to express why I choose to deal with a Canadian supplier (while I am still able) despite the price difference.

1. I don't have to worry about customs, which to me, is worth a few bucks in somebody's pocket.

2. Having some Canadian suppliers in existence might encourage the potential for one day having manufacturing here. Gods know we could use some manufaturing. I know, I'm an optomist.

3. I like the idea of at least some of my money remaining here in Canada, even if it is on the top.

4. Profit isn't a dirty word. We all have the lifestyles that we have for a reason, and I'd like all of us to continue or improve in that regard.

Now I'm not saying that all Canadian suppliers are the same, or that just because they are Canadian, they deserve our business. Far from it. All I am saying is that these are things that I think about when contemplating any purchase, not just e-cigarettes and supplies.

I really hope that I have not offended anyone, because that is definitely not my intention. We are all (more or less) free to do as we please. Just thought I'd raise it for some hopefully interesting discussion.

I'm pretty much the same way in thought when making "any" purchase.

I try to support our Canadian economy by buying from a Canadian supplier.

But of course it boils down to $$$, which inclues selling price, exchange rate, duty & brokerage fee's, as well as the hassle involved, and availability.

Most importantly, to me, is CUSTOMER SERVICE, which even though I "should'nt" have to pay more for, I will.

I 100% agree, and to date have only made 2 purchases outside Canada, that said, I really wish supply was more consistent. I am still using analogs because I can not get consistent supply of juice and carts, it is frustrating because I do love vaping but I can't seem to get a sufficient supply to be consistent. I am hoping my order from Eastmall will give me enough liquid and blank carts to ride out the shortages here in Canada and look out when I see some stock in...... I buying it all up!

BTW, it is already more than 20 degrees here, beauty! Hope it is nice where ever you are!

It's 3 degrees here now, and I think that is nice.

it happended to me to also my area is full of blooming tree flowers so pollen galour on my car with in 4 hours after it was washed waxed and then rained i give up keeping in clean to much hasle

 

[Lesliea]

LMFAO!!!!!!! Yes, we should all buy Canadian.......it's warm......i'ts WARRM!!!!!!! Okay, a little rain here and there, but it's WARM!!!!!!! I can feel sweat along my hairline!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEE!!!! Give me a month or two and I'll complain about the heat. LOL.

I have an idea that might help out some of our Canadian vaporers. I am hesitant to post it here for obvious reasons, but if anyone wants to PM me, I will share my idea. It has nothing to do with a money making proposition or anything like that, just a potential work around.

One thing that I forgot to mention, is that loyal customers that stick with Canadian suppliers, as much as they can, would likely get kick .... service (pun intended) in the future.

 

[Nuck]

I stick with a few Canadian suppliers because of the great service AND I really really like to get my supplies within 2 days but there are definitely a few gaps in the Canadian product offerings at the moment. I suppose it's to be expected given the political climate but when I see DIY sites like juicyliquid and liquidxpress....

A man can dream

Nuck...please share your thoughts. Maybe some of the suppliers will read and understand what we canadians are vaping on/with. I would love to have a great supplier that can look after my hardware needs (Tim's already got it covered....for now)...as for juice, guess every Canadian rolls the dice on a trans-border shippment, suppliers and consumers alike.

Its a bit harder with our current restrictions but if I wanted to stay completely in Canada I'd need a really solid DIY shop.

The basics are:

Nic juice (36mg VG and PG)
Nic free pure VG and PG
Bottles, droppers, pipettes, etc.
Misc supplies like citric acid crystals and menthol crystals
A nice range of premade flavors (flavor without nic)
(might even want to supply the vape friendly lorann flavors)

The premade flavors I've been getting from liquidxpress. It's really nice because you can control how strong you want the flavor and can increase or decrease it based on mood.

I'm not holding my breath though

 

[puff-puff-pass]

Yes...would be nice...also if they sold Kingston pack for cheap as well...that would be kick-...!
