lol I called him he did not answer of course but I left him a nice message. I will be out tonight for drinks let's hope he leaves his phone on so I can call him at like 2am totally wasted. Love how he says "your call IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT to me" on his voice mail just hilarious.
what should he do call the cops and go like " yes hello this is Craig Patterson I have a issue I stole money from a bunch of people and now they are calling me and demand their money back can you help me please?" f that dude ASAP a person steals money from hard working people he loses any respect from me and I mean any.
I am luckily not one of the people that he ripped off but I work hard for my money if someone considers stealing it from me he will suffer from it one way or another. I'll call him every 15mins until he turns off his phone period.
whats illegal about calling him and demanding back the money he owes you?
My initial concern was that by putting his address out there someone might decide to actually go to his home/business, which isn’t a good idea. Also, as the information was posted on this site I was concerned that it could reflect negatively on ECF and our community.
I do think those of you who have, in fact, been harmed by him, might start working together to present your issues to the Georgia Attorney General’s office, or at least each file a complaint with the office. If they get a sufficient number of complaints they may start looking into his business. Also think about posting complaints on the BBB website, Angie’s List, and anyplace else where it could at least warn others about him. This fool deserves to be immortalized for his atrocious behavior, and I totally agree with that.
As to phone calls, he did list his phone number on his site (I presume), so there is no reason those of you who have been burned shouldn’t continue to inquire about the status of your orders, and/or problems with orders.
As I said in my initial post, I just wanted to caution folks away from crossing the line from injured party to something less honorable. If any of you ever watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry David usually starts from a place of strength in that his point is valid, but simply by the way he addresses it he comes off as the bad guy in the end. Funny in a sitcom, not so funny in the real world.

I am totally with ya the people that got ripped off should get together with all the information gathered it should be possible to do something.
There is a line that can be crossed that is between calling in inquire about a refund and harassment.
I don't know where that line is so thread softly.

To be fair, I must report that the day before yesterday 7/28/11 , I FINALLY received the remainder of my order, drop shipped from Madvapes. However, the 2 510 batteries I received were not the 350mah 'mega XL' ones that I ordered but were the smaller ones. Also, the 10 empty 30ml bottles I ordered arrived without the dropper caps that snap into the top of the bottle (that may have been madvapes' fault though). (At least I got my good ol' Boge LR cartos)
I emailed Craig about this, and asked if I could use the $10 gift cert. he issued me (for the delayed shipping) to buy an 18650 Ultrafire from his site (which would exceed $10 with shipping) to make up for it. He said no problem, and then he sent me another email saying that they were in the mail and he sent 2. lol
We shall see... however I suspect that weeks will pass by without a package from him in site. I'm not counting on it, but what the heck it was worth a shot, right?
Even though I got the wrong batteries, and empty bottles that are practically useless to me without the dropper caps, I'm glad this nightmare is over. It took exactly 58 days for me to receive my order. I had to involve the BBB and threaten to show up at his home/place of business to finally get my stuff. And then it was the wrong stuff, and missing some more stuff! lol... but hey, we live and we learn, right? At least in the end I didn't get totally and completely burned
Happy vaping my friends
P.S. To the person/s who had concerns about his address being posted here, FYI it is posted on his website, on the contact us page. Anyone can see it there. (Therefor it is public information)
VAPE ON!

Glad I could help, Chet. I'd like to help as many people as I can avoid the nightmare that is 'ecigmods.com' lol
Craig doesn't have anything on his site that isn't available elsewhere except for his useless mods. All you gotta do is check out youtube and you'll see what I mean about his mods lol.... the guy is a complete and utter joke. The biggest looser joke of the entire vaping world! I don't see how he can go through each day without hanging his head in shame. Craig Patterson, you are pathetic! lol
Thanks for the heads up! I'm new to vaping and buying materials online, so I'll know to stay away from this guy x)
I don't know if y'all saw this but Kevbow on VapersPlace is going to have a show about the Worst Mod Ever Made on Sunday at 9est on VPLive -- guess which one it is?!?!?!?
I ordered a vapezilla and paid in full. (why? poor decision but I was desperate for a box mod and there weren't many available delivered to Australia at that time) I never received anything and made multiple requests for a refund. Craig Patterson pleaded poor, saying that he was financially ruined by the whole affair and had no money to eat let alone pay me back the money that I had transferred to him in good faith. I felt slightly sorry for him and agreed to give him 6 months to earn some money before paying me back. It is now what, 18 months? and I have been repeatedly emailing and creating tickets on his site over the last month. I have not had a single reply. I can only conclude that the man is an outright scammer and I should never have given him the benefit of the doubt.
Craig Patterson if you read this you can PM or email me via this site or email the address I have given your site tickets or email dave.spamtrap@gmail.com. I plan to make many, many threads and posts on vaping forums until the day I get my refund for services not rendered. You stole US $80 off me at a time when I was quite poor too, but desperate to give up smoking. It's time to pay it back.

It will never happen friend. Chalk it up to a lesson learned. If it makes you feel any better, go ahead and post all the negative feedback you want but Craig is a scumbag and you'll never receive a penny.
And he's not allowed on here so he won't see it -- but its not a bad idea to have this scumbag being outed occasionally as he still continues to operate and scam newbs...
