Located in Jacksonville, FL. Can you recommend them?

Looking at a kennedy Vindicator 21700. They have colors here not available directly from Kennedy.

I’ve bought from them in the past with no problems.

Can you recommend them?

I've placed at least a half dozen orders with them in the last 4-5 years. I always got exactly what I ordered and had no problems.

If you have any questions or concerns about a product they sell...I'd just give them a call. They have good customer service, based on the couple times I've called them about some items.

I used them a couple times years ago - no problems.

thanks for the replies. Order placed!

they have an impressive selection from top to bottom of the price range. Quite a few things that I haven't seen other places.

Order placed 12-25-20, arrived 1-2-21. Everything was as ordered. My only complaint is that the RDAs were shipped in zip-lock baggies with the accessory/tools in another baggie. In other words NO MANUFACTURER'S BOXES for the atomizers. These rda's are going to last a long time but they will always be like orphans without boxes. I'm going to write to the supplier and see what's up with that.

I also wrote to Kennedy to see if EVCigarettes is an authorized reseller and if there is a chance that I spent a lot of money on clones.

Email to evcigarettes (dot) com:

Hi

This order was promptly delivered yesterday and all items were delivered in good condition. Thank You.

I ordered these atomizers from you because you had the color I wanted in stock, while the manufacturer was sold out of that color.
However the atomizers were shipped in little zip-lock baggies instead of the manufacturer’s box. This was very disappointing. The boxes are important to verify authenticity and for display and storage. Do you repackage these atomizers and throw away the boxes? Or did I pay a lot of money for clones?
If I had known this, I would have ordered directly from the manufacturer and picked a color that they had in stock.
What do you have to say about this?

their reply:

First off, we'd like to thank you for your recent order. We're glad to hear you are happy with our services and will be happy to address your concern regarding packaging.
To begin, all of our products are 100% authentic since we purchase directly from product manufacturers, or their authorized distributors.
As for the Kennedy products you received, we ship them exactly how we receive them directly from Kennedy Vapors. The only difference being is that we put the items in zip lock bag and add our own SKU stickers.

If you'd like further confirmation that the products you received are authentic, please feel free to reach out to Kennedy directly. They will confirm that Evcigarettes does purchase their products solely through them. For your convenience, I've provided you with Kennedy's contact information here:

Anyhow, we appreciate your understanding and hope this helps. Of course, if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to your continued patronage and hope you have a great day!

Then I called Kennedy. They confirmed that they do not package their RDAs in boxes.

So I wrote back to evcigarettes:

I called Kennedy. They confirmed that they do not package their atomizers in boxes and they confirmed that they supply to you.

No box: that's a new twist for me. I suppose that they let the quality of their product speak for itself. While my original email was sharply worded, your response was measured and professional. Good Job.

I like the selection that you offer on your site and will certainly be back for more!

Thanks,

How do you like that? Function over form. Case Closed.

Cheap, printed, card stock packaging can be pretty inexpensive, like pennies per box. Seems better to me than no packaging at all. But that's just me.

I have ordered several Kennedy atomizers and a couple of mech mods over the years. Fantastic build quality, solid devices. But the atomizers, without exception, all came in cheap sandwich bags. Granted, cnc machines are extremely expensive and he has costs I can't imagine. And he has a big fan base, guess he figures the customer will put up with it. Still, sandwich bag packaging reeks of tacky.

Going out on a limb here are you sure that they actually ever come in a manufacturer's box we're not talking about vaporesso or Vandy Vape here and it's not uncommon for products to come without boxes or in very simple bags when were talking a specific higher-end brands. Now I don't have enough experience with Kennedy or any of their products to say if they're one of them but often companies like that that don't do mass releases for just the general public at low prices oddly enough do not include boxes as they're cheaper more available cousins I suppose do. Nothing against Vandy Vape or vaporesso I prefer a box because I also like to have the box for keeping the product in and it's probably a pet peeve of mine when things don't arrive in packaging but it's not uncommon at all in the specialty or higher end market for it to be just checked in a bag or something LOL you would think that it would be like the opposite and they'd have a nice box but not always. I totally understand why that would be disconcerting

^^^This.^^^ Kennedy RDAs don't come in boxes.

I can live with that given how awesome they are.

I love happy endings

 

[Ed Brown]

Thanks for all the replies. Funny thing, when I called the number on their website, there was no receptionist, no voice mail menu - it was just a guy answering his cell phone and it took him a couple seconds to focus on my call, like he was eating or something when I called.

Granted, some higher end atomizers come in minimal packaging and no extras. Which is sad. But a Kennedy atomizer, which runs about $95 US...ought to at least have a box or plastic container. Hell, even the cheapest chinese clone comes in those.
