Chinese stuff out of stock too?

[plastictree]

So I had a little extra money in my budget, and I went to go get an a7 mini for my REO, and they were out of stock at empire mods, the only place that I've seen them. And went to go get an RSST and found like 3 vendors that are out of stock. Is it chinese new year or something what gives?

Right there with you. It seems to be an epidemic.
Seems everything I need is "Out Of Stock" from rba's to replacement heads for eVod.

I got the a8 , it sucks. If you haven't tried the a7 I'd get something else. AGA-T and RSST work really well. (When available)

*Sigh*

The A7 mini is a dripping atomizer, that is bottom fed

There was a big Chinese holiday recently, wasn't there? Maybe that was why.

Hopefully products come back sooner than later...

I think stuff is slowly starting to trickle back in. I know my replacement wicks are finally in stock at one place, and another posted on FB that they just got their big orders in.

There was a holiday a couple of weeks ago. My guess is they're probably all sold out due to mass purchases right after the holiday. I went to my closest B&M during the holiday...he was all sold out of almost everything...went back a couple of weeks ago & he said as soon as he got his stock of mods in they all flew out the door!

The community is growing by leaps and bounds. Add that with the fact that many vendors place orders under 200 units and it's no surprise that even the chinese vape gear is selling like hot cakes. On the plus side, you generally only have to wait a week or so for them to be restocked.

Yes....yes....the Chinese new year.
not surprising the Chinese sites are "out of stock" because "them" being out of stock is why most retailers are "also" out of stock.
After all....almost everything is coming out of China. So when they get back up to speed...then all the local shops and US vendors will again have all our goodies.
You didn't notice that US made equipment and stuff from Europe and the UK were mostly still available?

There are 3 reasons so many things in the vaping world are out of stock right now: The Chinese Holiday that means nothing is produced or shipped out of China for several weeks, second: some people are stocking up as a hedge against possible coming FDA regulations and third: there are more and more people joining the vaping world so simply more people purchasing vaping toys.
