The batts are a problem. Mine have toned down a little though. Amplified music and wind are the main problem. I just disconnect mine when not in use.
I won't order any more from best. The paypal is nice though. Just wish they had other batts.
I'm trying SLB for this order. Cheaper prices and hopefully a better battery.

I finally ordered from Bestecig because they had some things in stock with eastmall didn't plus they were a bit cheaper. I received my package fairly quick (i'm in New York). The items were bubble-wrapped so heavily that I had a fun time trying to get to my parts.

I placed an order for atomizers, nothing else.

The only thing which upset me is that when I received the envelope, the packing slip stuck to the front had on it in big capital letters "Vaporizer" which could've alarmed customs. The service was great but I think I would suggest to them to not put that next time. They could've just put spare parts or something since it's not like I ordered a whole kit.

If I buy a 901 from Bestecigs will any part of a 901 from another supplier fir it ???? What other parts fit a 901.

Also can someone tell me How long do the USB pass-thru batteries last.

So far, I have confirmed that myvaporstore, esmokershop and rutandirect all have the pressure switch/mechanical batteries. Beci did tell me that they were "improving" theirs.

The news of quick deliveries is good but you need to be aware that there are orders that never make it (seized)! I know of a few different individual orders (China) that were destroyed at entry. You need to be aware that there are no gurantees. You take a chance whenever you import the e-cigarette. The chances are likely 1 out of 20 of a problem but never- the-less possible. The only sources that are 100% reliable are suppliers in the States. It is more prudent to stick with suppliers that have USA in their address.

I agree. Best ecig flue cured is great. I had been using totally wicked juice which is also great. Best ecigs juice is less than half the price. Their be-112 atomizers are their best deal at 5 for $30.00. I have an order for 5 flue cured(35ml) and ten atomizers coming soon. Their blank carts are also good and only 70 cents for a pack of 5.

Another vote for the customer service at BesteCig, Beci is great and always quick to answer emails.

I've made 3 orders now totalling 20 BE112 atomizers, 10 batteries, 2 passthroughs and about 200ml of juice.

I've not yet had an atomizer that's lasted longer than a week, great for two or three days then they trail off before giving up the ghost entirely. I'm guessing that this must be the way I vape as going by this thread there are few complaints. In any case they are pretty cheap and i'm treating them as disposable. I've no doubt that Beci would replace them if I pursued it.

I've had the same issues with batteries as others with a bag full of flashing blue and red lights. Brings back memories of a Blues Brothers car chase :thumb:. They do last pretty well though and only have a couple that have failed.

As has been mentioned packing is great and I noticed that the last order said 'Vitamins' on the slip :).

I've tried the RY4, Menthol, Cherry and Cola flavours so far. I liked all bar the Cola which was grim to say the least :cry:

All things considered i'd say they are good value but I would like to see the atomizers lasting a bit longer.

I received a replacement batt for by BE112, the "improved" version, improved my ...! It might be a teeny bit better but it still sucks.

I recently got a BE112 kit with a spare set of atomizers, an extra battery, and two passthroughs. The passthroughs work fine but all three batteries are awful. They turn on in my pocket even when the ecig is the only thing in there - no keys or change to jangle it - and it must turn on in the car even when it is parked (I leave the windows cracked and it's been windy lately) since I leave an ecig in there and the battery's dead when I get back. I really like the easy draw of the BE112 compared to my M-201, but this makes the BE112 practically worthless unless I am sitting at my computer.

From other threads it appears that even though the parts are interchangeable between the 801 and BE112, the 801 from Eastpark comes with a mechanical battery and does not have this problem. Is that true?

I am about to advise a merchant (who is going to start stocking ecigs and make a wholesale order) on which online vendor to order from and had it narrowed down to bestecig and eastpark. It can't be bestecig due to this problem which appears to affect their entire line of batteries. Are eastpark's batteries mechanical?

Spradling, didn't you recently have the same choice - ordering wholesale from eastpark vs bestecig. Which did you choose?

That thread should help you find mechanical 801 batteries.

well,

based on your reports and recommendations, I decided to give BestEcig.com a try.

I ordered the 901, some 5 packs of cartdriges of different flavors (bottled juice is some of a problem here in Brazil, the shipment of juice I ordered from JC is stuck in the health department since may 21st, I have reports of others which has their shipment stuck in the same place since Apr 29th) and let's see how it goes.

They are fast, indeed, I ordered yesterday afternoon and today's morning they already confirmed the shhipping and sent me the EMS tracking code.

let's see how long does it take to get to Brazil and if Brazilian customs will pose a problem.

can anyone confirm Beci's claim of not having custom problems or refunding?

I have read with great interest all of the raves regarding Bestecig. While I totally agree that the shipping is VERY fast, it's the quality of the product (pen-style battery) and total lack of customer service that I have a major problem with. I purchased several atomizers and a battery from them in mid May and while the atomizers seem okay, the battery was dead after one charge (no, I don't drip). I have sent repeated emails to these people but have not received a response in 2 weeks so my advice to anyone is BEWARE. They sell JUNK.
Purchase from a reputable U.S. company that stand by the products that they sell (there are some very good sellers here).
