Being relatively new to the vaping world, I wanted to catch up fast..so I spent much of my Thanksgiving holidays searching for the best priced supplies on the net and increasing my knowledge as much as I could. I ordered a bunch of stuff from general vaping equipment to DIY supplies. I ordered several hundred bucks worth of supplies.
I already posted here that the cheapest supplies in US supplies were from VaporLeaf, VaporStation, Perfumer's Apprentice, and MyVaporStore. I had all good expeiences with all my orders. However, I also spun the wheel on Chinese suppliers for mostly e liquids and DIY liquids. I braced myself for trouble with them, but was amazed to find very little!
I ordered from three Chinese suppliers: Eastmall - (the best and slickest Chinese site) - three orders all came in accurate and timely from EMS (shipper). I took FULL advantage of their black Friday free shipping deals. A few labeling issues on some liquid, but awesome on all 3 orders overall. Not a glitch.
: ......c-o-m - I ordered some Nic. VG base. I was amazed! This order landed on my doorstep from EMS 5 days after I placed it! The base was great, already mixed some nice tobacco flavors up...vaping them as we speak, as a matter of fact. (I must admit though, the nic. base I got from e-liq.c-o-m was off a bit. I ordered pure VG with 60mg of nic.. I figured I'd cut it by 2/3 (2 parts VG and one part their nic. VG base), that would leave me with a 20mg and I puff 24mg normally (Marlboro red smoker here). Took a very, very tiny puff and figured it had to be about a 30mg end result, so I reduced the nic base by another third and kept the other base quantities the same and...BLISS! I know, I need to get a nic. test kit and ABSOLUTELY will, but not an error here that would have damaged me...this time.)
: e-liquid.cn - ok, read some not so nice reviews, but also some good ones. No one said they didn't get their order, just bad communication and delay. Placed a nice sized order for some kits but mostly some large quantities of Dekang liquid. By 7 days after the order, I noticed it was still in "processing". It was supposed to be out in 5 days. So, I sent an email. Within 24 hours I had a reply and an EMS tracking number. Assuming it will come in accurate, great, not a perfect experience, but certainly not bad either!
Overall, I have had a pretty darn good experience with these Chinese suppliers both in their products and the order experience. I will ABSOLUTELY be ordering more from theses three. The shipping is high, but for some equipment and e liquids and nic. base in quantity, hell yeah man, I am saving some serious money over domestic supplier prices.

I'm hyper-sensitive about where I get nic these days. I'd rather pay a tad more at Xtreme Vaping and RTS for my nic and know I'm getting what I ordered in strength and quality by sellers invested in the community. Don't mean to preach at you. I see you have 15 posts. If you're new to DIY it's important to know you need to be very, very careful when purchasing nic.
