[clayU]

well my cheap ego from ebay broke . its almost like the threads are messed up . it will not connect to two different chargers and the post on the chargers look like they have been chewed on now . so I am smoking for now . . the stupid thing never really worked good with iclear 16 tanks . is it safe to order from china on ebay ? how can real products be identified ? I have been looking at a kamry X6 its a VV ego fatty style i see two different ones they both have different cases . one case looks just plain black and the other is black and has 3 little decals . any thoughts ????????

Check out fasttech and read all reviews of anything you want to buy. I order from China regularly. fasttech.com Shipping can take awhile.

That sucks, ego clones can be good or bad, you gots the bad. Most things that are not hundreds of dollars are from China, and lots of it is awesome (better be, can't afford American made mods and atties), you can get some good stuff from ebay too. You get the best deals ordering direct from China, but expect to be waiting for weeks for it to show up.
Don't have experience with Kamry you can see if it's on 9614 Electronic Cigarettes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping The reviews are generally trustworthy, as is the company again, if you don't mind waiting over a month for it to show up.
Good Luck!
Or someone else will be by shortly.

Bump up to a Vision Spinner, and only buy from high feedback rated sellers, and you should be fine on Ebay. They're roughly $20 or less on ebay.

o wow! I just seen some of the ship times . I guess if I plan on starting vaping again with in the next few weeks I will have to buy something from the US . maybe this EGO V 900 mAh . Looks like a good VV . I was having throat troubles after I got the Iclear16 and after 100% Vg I was basically getting the same trouble I believe the hardware was the case or the nic 14-18. I do chain vape some . not sure if the cheap-o ego didn't have enough power to push the Iclear 16 . now I have a pile of junk BOOOOOOO. its like the tanks are stripped ? I would hate to ruin a new one just to find out . I think I am going with a kanger pro tank 2 .

Not a bad option at all there, I loved my MVP1 and used it everyday for close to a year till it wouldn't hold a charge all the way through work anymore.

Ebay and fasttech are less expensive, kind of. From one of the form suppliers or at a local B&M store you might pay a little more but they have a reputation to maintain. They also usually stand behind their products.

Only buy from the top rated vendors on eBay, and you should be fine. Another place to check out is 101vape.com if you decide to go with the MVP 2 or the iTaste VVv3. The VVv3 does everything the MVP 2 does, save for charging other devices. It's the size of an ego. I'd just skip the variable volt egos and go for that if you want to keep to that size.

I've ordered from both ebay sellers in the US with good feedback, and fasttech....no problems either way. Fasttech is free shipping, so separate your orders with them...order batteries on one order, then anything else you buy in a second order. The batteries will slow down arrival time, but other products will arrive faster by themselves. Fill in with ebay to tide you over on batteries if you need something right away, as it's much faster if you buy from sellers here.

Beware, fasttech can be a budget killer!! Lotsa toys cheap...

Honestly... For something like that, there are so many benefits for going and buying from a B&M store. Sure, you're probably going to pay $8-10 more... But you can be sure that it works as advertised. Hell, I work at a B&M and we encourage our customers to make sure everything is in working order before they leave the store.

Just gonna throw this out there too...

Even if you buy from a USA vendor, there's a high chance your product was manufactured in China. Not everything that comes out of there is bad... But there are those manufacturers that will do everything the quickest, cheapest way possible with little to no quality control. Just gotta do your research on where you're buying from.

I have never been to a B&M . we don't have one in my town. only liquor stores selling limited vape gear. off brand starter kits, e juice with high nic or its just nasty . yes its how i started vaping . i have not been to a B&M. because my friends say they usually walk out spending around $100 . i just don't have that kind of money at once right now. i hate sales people trying to talk me into stuff. but i may visit a B&M some day. i walked out of the liquor store and have not been back when they tried to sell me a cheap ce4 style for $9 . when i knew i could get a tank and juice online for $11 shipped . hopefully may next experience will be better . what are some good tanks for the itaste3 ?

Obviously I don't know exactly where you are, but there are plenty of shops in Missouri I'm sure you could find one in a reasonable driving distance if you really tried... Just go in knowing what you want and don't let them talk you into $100 worth of sales Most of them don't make commission (at least none of the shops in my area do) so if they try to sell you something it's only because they think you'll enjoy it more and end up there eventually anyway. If you're talking about ordering something like a mod or high end atty then you'd be better going online since the prices are gonna be significantly cheaper... But it's worth the extra few bucks for something like an ego battery with a T3S tank just to see a person face-to-face and know that the product you're buying is 100% functional versus rolling the dice buying online.

As for the iTaste VV3... Pretty much any Assuming you aren't going the rebuildable route, I'd recommend a Kanger T3S/T3D/Evod, Aspire BBC, iClear 16/iClear 16b for cheaper options... Kanger Protank 2/3, Aspire Nautilus, iClear 30/iClear 30S for higher end.

The iTaste VV3 is a fantastic upgrade from a cheapo ego. I have a DNA 30 box mod, MVP, Evic, and got my first mech not too long ago but I still use my VV3s here and there and have 2 of them. The MVP is nice but it is too large and heavy for me. I like the VV3s for their small size and features. I have gone through a lot of different brands of clearos in my day, some good, some bad, but I honestly have to say they were mostly bad for me. Keep an eye out for the new Aspire Nautilus Mini... I hear good things about it. It might look a little big on your Ego style batteries but if it doesn't bother you, give it a try.

 

[crxess]

Purchase a VV V3 and get some decent toppers
Do NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Do NOT POCKET CARRY any 510 attached tanks

Batteries are fragile little things and we all to often abuse them to death

If you want stuff from China, this is the best place I know of. Take a look. Best E Cig Mechanical Mods & Rebuildable Atomizer For Sale

I'm a fan of Kanger T3ds and ARO tanks just cheap bottom coil tanks that get the job done and still take a bit of abuse to break.
