How long does is usually take for orders from EastMall? My only other experience with China orders were with deal extreme for flashlights. Took forever so I'm prepared. I ordered the Riva from them earlier this week. Just curious.


My first order from Eastmall took almost a month to receive. The package just sort of disappeared for a while after it was received by EMS from Eastmall. I have since gotten an order from them that took 10 days. Most of that time was spent in US customs. I have seen posts where people have gotten an order in 4-5 days however.

Seems like a crap shoot ..... prices are well worth the chance of a wait in my opinion.

Shipping to Canada: (Their ego kit, an extra atomizer, and carrying case).

with 5% discount applied it comes to $42.70 + the $11.75 for shipping. This seems like a good deal? People from Canada can you chime in on how much duties would be (say worst case scenario)?

Expedited Shipping 3-6 days
(0.535kg) - $29.81
Standard Shipping 6-12 days
(0.535kg) - $26.50
Air Mail 7-21 days
(0.535kg) - $11.75

They may not've taken their own pictures, instead lifting them from another site, so don't rely too heavily on the pix (or anyone's pix online, unless it's a small vendor & explicitly says "you will receive this exact unit" or something to that effect).

I used to sell jewelry online, and my pictures were constantly being stolen from other sellers for their similar items.

Anyone deal with this company? They have some pretty nice stuff(even non0ecig related). I am tempted to get another eGo at that price if it is a legit Joye.

Well I just ordered one so will see. I found a discount code of LETO but only for 5% ($1.74 or so). Also cheapest shipping is over $9 for delivery in 7-10 days airmail so sounds like its coming from China. Does anyone know who/where Joye Ego is made?
I expecting good things from this -- the forum is full of good reviews on the ego over the 510 which I normally use.

This one's very wierd. If you look at just the batteries, it says 750mah for manual and 650 for auto. I would suspect they got in a bunch of seconds (items that wouldn't pass original manufacturers quality standards) for the Ego and Riva and just sort of threw them together or they have a new clone and are trying to take advantage of people who love both.

maybe someone who has done business with the company can comment on their reliability/customer service.

Cheapest shipping for me was $9.70 Still a pretty good price.

I have ordered from lots of these places, they are basicaly a middle man who advertizes and uses drop shipping. I have always gotten my stuff, sometimes it's fast sometimes, not so much. But I wouldn't count on any warranty.

If I was looking for one and didn't need it right away, I might consider it. It's a full kit and for that price it's pretty hard to beat.

I'm sure they are maxing out production right now on the eGo and it's clones. Prices will keep falling for a while yet.

I might be over stepping the bounds of this post but! I really feel newish vapers need to understand that they could be buying just the attys and then going straight to a common battery mod.
Ego, Riva, aren't bad but you could do alot better for your money.
If youd just look past brand names and read, read, read. Youd see where all veterans end up. And it's not "Joye-Janty Ego".

These guys are playing catchup with whats really going on. And of course they can't with big production. The atomizers are the weak link in the chain now. And thats all these companys are good for at the moment

Not sure about everyone else, but as a newish vaper myself, I have to say most of the mods I've seen just aren't for me. I may be wrong and find the right one 5 minutes after posting this, but I've looked at a ton of them and they just don't appeal to me.

What I am going to try, as soon as the batts that came with my Riva start dying on me, is to see if I can mod those. That way I'll still have the style I like with cheaper batteries. But if prices started dropping to 8-9 bucks for a Riva batt, I probably wouldn't even worry about trying that.
