I don't care if the seller is from Asia, US,UK or EU.
Some are cheap but they charge crazy shipping fees.
Please answer if you have any personal experience combining price,shipping fees and quality.
Some companies from Asia have good quality and very cheap fees but they take too long to arrive.
Personally I don't mind too much about late delivery (if they do arrive) if they are cheap and good quality.

Please transfer if I am writing it in the wrong place.

The cheapest you will get is from china, period. Alibabi.com is littered with wholesalers and they are all willing to sell "samples" as long as they believe you are a supplier, and they never check so have at it. However, Ill warn ya that you WILL get what you pay for. You will get defects, and lots of them. Especially batteries. Finding a good chinese supplier is a very daunting task. Especially with the multitude of products.

I am still waiting my order from health...although they don't charge much for shipping (other Asian companies don't charge at all for slow shipment) I think I am already in my 20th day of waiting...without replies to my emails from the company.Anyway...
Since I started this thread do you know also where I could find the cheapest repairable a2 type atomizer? I want something similar to ego tank system but repairable.I know about bulli that is not very cheap and almost always in shortage.And because it is my first I want it to be quite easy :p

We had a sign at my old company....

"Our Prices are based on the best parts and service available. If you want a discount, please tell us which of those to leave out!"

If your time and trouble isn't worth anything to you, feel free to use companies that take a month or more (if ever) to get product to you. If your time is worth something to you, don't. I for one have better things to do with my time then waste it trolling the bottom to save $1 on something. While getting a good deal is great, buying price is always a loosing game. Price isn't everything, and you do GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR in the end. I do business with quality people, and they are always worth the extra I pay. Some folks will spend all day stepping over $20 bills to pick up that dime. I will never understand it.

Vaping requires hardware. If you're not able to get steady hardware, how much money are you truly saving in the end?

I'm with you, Uncle Willie. However, the OP may be in Athens Greece. If this is true, I'd be far more understanding of the need for the cheapest price. If we think we have it bad here in the US (as bad as I've seen in my 44 years) they are worse, by far. If the OP is in the US, no simpathy from me if he/she gets burned trying to bypass local business. They take all the risk out of buying from China, offer us support and returns if needed, and are feeding themselves. (our fellow Americans). I guess I'm just loyal like that.

does anyone know a good one?
most chinese suppliers ask for an order of 10 or more..

All of anything. and no minimum order.

But shippin' is a whole 'nother ball o' wax. And Customs likes to delay shipements in NY.
I've gotten stuff in a few days, and then other times I've waited months for it to clear customs in NY.

Hmm' for some reason I can't post a link. All the important bits go away when I try it.

Sorry but the post was intended to protect my own pocket and not country's...I will prefer a good Greek shop with prices a little higher but not when I know that they buy from China for 1 in wholesale and they sell it to me at 10 a piece.End of off topic :)
On the other hand there are Greek eshops selling original joytech or ovale a lot cheaper than I see in most US or British sites.Again I don't know shipping costs or if they sell abroad.
Personally and because right now I have some freetime to spend I want to find the best and cheapest shops so I won't have to look again.
Sorry but I find anything else just irrelevant here.
Healthcabin did 20 days for Europe but I think it worths a minute of your time to check it.
Of course I have also bought no name defective products so far.I tried some ego-c parts for 2€ and was a mistake from my part since the original cost 20€/5.in one shop...you can find it as much as 7 for one or more.
I don't think it is bad if we find and give credit to the cheapest seller, either original, or quality non-original.
