I'm sorry If its insulting u guys and vendors that people are asking for better deals and I'm sure they can offer better deals just no one will stick to it and they don't have to lower prices if u guys defend the prices and bash people for wanting cheaper prices.and when did I TRASH vapourgeek??
Now u are making things up when did I ever TRASH vapourgeek. Only thing I said was I was ginna email them see what they could do. THAT is all I said how do u get I TRASHED and insulted them???
You are reading into it more than I posted.
Like I said glad I found this place and wasn't my intention to insult anyone just just make light of the situation we canadain consumers are in and what we can do to get a better deal. As for canadain venirds and me TRASHING them I never trashed anyone just stated the facts
No competition means they can charge more and we as Canadians will put up with higher prices and not wanna complain so why should they reduce thier prices.

I did my second order with Vaporgeek today. (Second order, period) I did a lot of price checking locally and across the border. I'm not seeing the atrocious price discrepancies that you're referring to.

Tax incl. And free shipping at the price point that I hit. Local company, etc..... but then all of this has already been covered in this very thread, hasn't it? I guess I just choose to deal with the reality of living in Canada and occasionally paying a bit more for things. But then.......free health care! And no more paying for smokes! And yummy flavors!

Dude.....life is good!

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

I'm curious about this in particular. Which American sites are cheaper?

The last time I checked Canvape was cheaper than pretty much every US site I looked at for the items you are talking about. The only US sites I have seen that are cheaper are either known for selling knock-off items or have bad reputation/ no reputation.

Update after many months tring vendors and stores.

Still ordering supplies outta china great deals on ce4 and ego batteries lanyards ect but takes a minth or so.
For new clearos like evod protank vapeonly ect eastsidevapes in Vancouver now has storefront location and prices cheaper than most. Besides that cevstore and vaporgeek for hardware shipped if I'm needing something quick.
For juices I tend to just get from juicyclear and MLv directly or from sites when there's a sale.
Sadly no juice from vaporgeek anymore but can easily pickup from cev in Burnaby or eastsidevapes in van.
Seems things out here are changing for better and those stores I mentioned really helpfull staff I recommend them highly.
Haven't tried vaporsolutions yet might give them a try sometime.

Btw got first kit with 1100mah twist 2 ce4 charger and 15ml juice from bomb vapor outta states for under $30 Canadian shipped awesome deal.
Individually best I've seen out here has been eastsidevapes $25 twist 1100mah ce4 not worth paying the $5 each better off just getting from china for under $1 same for thar charger. And for juice u lookin at at least $10 for 15ml so it was def great deal sadly he don't got that kit anymore.

Right now I been sending guys to esv as they can get a twist and a evod or t3 for under $35 and I got around 10 chargers and lanyards laying around from a bulk order I did from I china I just give out to friends to get them started.
si was able to get kit with 2 twists 2 t3s and charger fir under $70. And if esv don't have it then cev they Lil more but if u gotta have it right away ,only other local place. Both great places and super helpful.

Hopefully this helps others in local area here find a good deal.

All I was looking for was a decently priced kit and now that seems to b able to b done. Don't ever give up or except things as they are things can and should b even cheaper on this stuff especially juice prices, think I may just start mixing my own. And as for heads in clearos I just started looking into rebuilding them myself.

Well I guess as Canadians we are used to paying higher prices for same product locally compared to the US China etc but that's ok.

Personally I want what I want now not next month so for a few bucks more I use Canvape and their prices are pretty good.

In your sig location, looks like u spelled Canada incorrectly. Just saying.

Also glad u figured out a good price for your set up mate.

Ive shopped Canada Only as well.

I am in the Vancouver area also sorta, in Maple Ridge. The only B&M store I have visited was ESV and the guys in there were great! They knew their stuff and hell...they even had great music playing. Not much more I can ask for :)

Its quite a drive for me to visit there so most of my stuff will be ordered online through various vendors. I have had good experiences with The Gentleman's Reserve and Canvape. I have had no bad experiences yet and hope it stays that way!

This thread confuses the hell out of me every time I read it. So a kits 5 bucks less stateside, its also double the shipping with a chance at brokerage fees and getting sent back at the border. Order from China and you don't even know if your getting a genuine product. I thought the same at one point and did my first few orders from the u.s and promptly learned my lesson. Canadian only vendors from here on out.

On a side note I notice your not complaining about about juicy and mlv's juice prices when they can be higher than some. Perhaps the realization that you pay for a quality product has set in. I've never delt with juicy but I'll pay an extra dollar or two any day to deal with mlv's great product and customer service. There's so many good Canadian juice vendors out there now it's actually tough for me to decide these days.

think u confused yourself its about half the cost the kit not $5 cheaper and was free shipping not sure where u got that shipping charge from.

to avoid silly brogerage fees ect i learned that about 10 years ago. got hit with $20 fee for a $5 item using ups and another time something just as dumb using fedex brokerage fee on a free setup disc from compaq for my laptop.
use usps never a issue thats been over 15 years of using them for us purchases. and use american adress like shiphappens for places in us that wanna charge insane shipping to canada

i been using eastsidevapes and vaporgeek for a while now awsome vendors. mlv is actually cheaper than most checkout ther sample packs. also jc was on sale. makin my own stuff now

for stuff outta china mayb not being genuine i dont really care if a lanyard is fake its piece of shoestring at 1/10 the cost of many websites in us or canada. stuff like my clearos and such protanks t3s evods heads i tend to get from canadian vendors to ensure they are genuine but even then there are deals to be had in china on genuine ones too. awsome deal on itaste kit and vamos if u know where to look out there and they are genuine.

the situation out there has defenatly changed expecially out in bc as we getting more vendors and better prices. theres still the few scammers out there selling kits for $150 outta corner stores but on the whole good scene. two thumbs up for eastsidevapes vaporgeek and cevstore. i gotta try canvape next.

I mainly buy all my juice and gear from the states. Shipping from the states is sometimes faster then shipping from the East Coast. Never had any issues with customs. If you're on a budget... hit up the classifieds section. Buying used is a hit or a miss though. I've had great luck buying from China too and found most items available locally is from China.

I've spent more money then I'm willing to admit...

I've gotten vapemail weekly for the passed year. My record is 6 packages in a day.
