New here do just got enough posts to post in this sub forum
i was postin in the new members thread do I'll vary all the relevant info here

Can't find gear locally[/h]

Live near Vancouver well actually about 30 mins away but can't find any place that sells this stuff.
The places that do I gotten suckered and found out no nicotine and the kits suck. The places I've gotten from have been corner stores and places most them don't even know what the stuff is.
I have pretty much narrowed it down to variable voltage in size of a ego at most.
Be nice to have variable wattage but that's all much bigger than ego style
from what I've seen I narrowed it to Ego c twist 1000mah, vision spinner 1300mah or the ego-v v2 1200mah I think
I can't find them anywhere around here. Anyone know place I can drive to locally anywhere in lower mainland Vancouver.
Oi would settle for local online place if I had to but rather see the stuff.
Also many online places I've seen are a total ripoff .
And lastly never find nicotine I know why but man that stinks I was close to giving up till I found this site
any all help apreciated
Tried alibaba but most want like minimum of 10 or 100 orders any places from china that do free shipping 1 item for this stuff.​

[h=2]After that was referred to this sub forum to look for sellers

[/h]

Yea I have tried there's a few. It all seem like ripoffs. All I'm lookin for is about 4 ego twists prefer 1000mah and 4 bottom coil rebuildable clearomizers like kanger t3 or mini. Also need 2 chargers. Or even 2 ego twist kits with t3 bcc.
Battery should b 20-25 tops x 4=80-100
Bcc t3 clearomizer. 5 buc each=20
2cargers and wall plugs 5-10 each=10-20
Total 110-140 for both kits or everything I need

Now everyone says cheaper to buy in kits rather than individual pieces. Well that's what I've done oricrd out individual units so it should still be cheaper for kits I would think.
It's not
By they way I calculated it I'm trying to find a kit with this stuff for prob $55 cheapest to max of $70
I don't see anyone locally or online I can buy from in a kit in canada if I do there prices are a ripoff
Example I found a guy in burnaby today corner store he's got twists but thier the 650mah ones and no t3 bcc just the normal ce4
He wanted $120 for that kit. I was like ... I wanted to smash his face in but it's his store so whatever I walked out

Long story short I'm still tiring to find someone I can buy from that reasonably priced and those prices above are not hard to come by there just all in states and most guys want $10-$40 more to ship to canada thinking we are in north pole
However I'm only 10 minutes away from border near Vancouver bc.

It's like all the guys in Canada selling this stuff are creating a monoply in this and artificially jacking up the prices and giving just crap or no support and in the end I'm not surprised why soo many people I know have just given up on vaping​

 

[crazycooter]

And when I say $55 cheapest that's buying each piece individually shouldn't be even cheaper in a kit??

Do you have the list of suppliers that's available only by PM? Check the stickies at the top of this forum. I ordered a kit and juice locally (vapor geek).on Monday, and it was here (maple ridge) on Thursday. Highly recommend, awesome communication, service, packing, excellent prices...I shopped around. I went with the ego c twist. So far so good! (I just started, and I've only tried the "after eight thin mint" flavor, and I like it a lot.)

 

[crazycooter]

Yea I checked out all those vendors. Have u seen some the prices in those sites. It's crazy
Even vapourgeeks prices are Lil high but I will contact them see what they can do for a kit

 

[albertbert]

You aren't going to find a kit with 4 ego twists, and a bunch of good clearomizers, anywhere for $70. You can't really go off of alibaba pricing, like you said its wholesale, you need to order a lot to get that kind of price.

 

[crazycooter]

Please reread
I never said that
I'm going off websites not alibaba and that price was for HALF of what I wanted

Battery should b 20-25 tops x 4=80-100
Bcc t3 clearomizer. 5 buc each=20
2cargers and wall plugs 5-10 each=10-20
Total 110-140 for both kits or everything I need
Those prices are from many different amaerican vendors
So def not wholesale pricing

I'll explain a little better
Wanted 4 twists 1000 Mah
4 t3 kangers
2 chargers
I understand there will be no kit that has all that. That is why I broke it apart

So in other words I need 2 kits with
2 twists
2 kangers
Charger

Make sense?

So in the end each kit shouldn't be any more than $55 to 70 tops
That's buying individually also should be even cheaper in a kit

Hopefully that clarifies Lil better
But if u read the first 2 post it explains all that

 

[albertbert]

Oh, that is still kind of pushing it though. One vendor gets kind of close to what you need, but HST will put you over the budget you want for sure.

It was a lot to read, i just skimmed it for the most part..

 

[Dashe]

Just re-read your first post. Yeah....good luck!

 

[crazycooter]

You want me to redo my first post dash?

And as for kinda pushing it, I used a high and low from sites in states.
Should be even cheaper if in kit format
This what's going on u guys just except the high prices and don't do anything bout it. It's always been kinda a canadain problem why whe get ripped off cause we too passive and get exploited. Comeon for those prices any vendor out here could do it. But will they is the real question when u got soo many people willing to pay thier crazy prices and even defend them why worry bout minority like myself it's cost if business to lose me when they got everyone else happy to follow them like sheep to the slaughter.

 

[froghammer]

Sounds like you need to start a vape gear business. Figure out a way to hit the prices you're looking for and I'll be among your customers.

 

[albertbert]

I think that was directed at me, i asked about extra kangers in your list, but i either misread it or you edited it out.

I agree with you completely, not enough competition. One site has everything you want for 135 with free shipping, but HST puts it over 150.

How hard did you look at american sites? Some will ship very cheap, cheaper than the standard $10 canada post price.

 

[bk78]

Feel free to spend your money across the border and wait up to a month for your shipment or pay the extra $10 and get it in a couple days. It is what it is and always has been. Deal with it!!!

 

[Dashe]

Re -do your post? Nope, I just hadn't read it thoroughly, my bad. For me, given what I've spent on smokes over the years, I thought that the price I paid was more than fair; as I said, I shopped around. Sure, I could have driven down to Bellingham and tried to deal with the border...fun! Instead I've kept my spending in Canada, supported a local business, and I'm happy with the result. I own a small business and I'm a smart shopper, hardly a naive sheep to the slaughter

 

[SoUnique]

Why not just check out canvape if your looking for a deal in Canada. Great prices combined with customer service = win

 

[crazycooter]

Check canvapes prices compared to prices I listed I found at American sites u will find canvapes and other Canadian sites are much more than the $10 extra bk78 mentioned. Canvapes =lose

Btw I should have mentioned my rant earlier wasn't ment as a bash or diss at anyone here b4 anyone takes it that way just sheer frustration of tring to get a decent deal and no canadain vendor even willing to offer closer prices as to owr American counterparts, it is true we need to get more competition or find American sellers with free or cheap shipping to Canada that still have good prices on this gear mayb that will wake up the canadain sellers to offer better deal to keep us buying off them.
Awesome place I'm glad I found the site and hope to stick to this. I've seen too many people give up on vaping altogether cause of pricing and no nicotine in Canada.

 

[Starrlamia]

you cant just blatantly state we are getting ripped off from our prices, there are variances in business from USA and Canadian that account for those price differences. If you want USA pricing, buy from the USA. Personally I choose to support Canadian vendors as many of them are members of the community and extremely generous people. Most retail prices here are more than in the USA.

 

[bk78]

I took it as you bashing all our Canadian venders I am very happy and proud of our venders. And like I said have fun waiting!

 

[LesVegas]

Great to see a new member come here looking for help and at the same time insulting the very people trying to help him. This place has gone a little off the rails lately.

To the OP, although you already trashed vaporgeek.com, as an fyi their prices include tax and they ship free on orders over $75. Also they offer a 5% discount on your first order so the overall cost is about as good as you will find, and since they are local the shipping is fast.

I smoked a pad of players lights...I don't care about prices here as I am still saving money every month. I care about getting the product quickly so I order Canadian.
Don't get hung up on the small stuff, odds are you are saving money from leaving cigarettes.
