I've been trying to buy a cvi for at least 2 weeks... Personally I think it's ridiculous!

As soon as they notify me of a stock update, I'm getting one!

China manufactured production lines will halt due to Chinese new year. From what I remember a friend telling me, they get a whole week off for that holiday.

Can't blame them I guess. We get our holidays off, they ought to get theirs off as well.

That FEAR FACTOR certainly helps the vendors tremendously !!! Stuff flying off the shelfs.. due to the Fear Factor.

I was trying to help a friend to secure batteries and a charger for a new Mini Provari last nite online. Even vendors like RTD Vapor and Super T Manufacturing, who always have a good supply, were out of stock of what we were looking for. So you are right, people are stocking up on supplies. Maybe not a bad idea.

I'm now happy that I got my first RBA last week. Only thing I need for it is wire and steel mesh or silica wicks.

I feel the same way! I was lucky that I was able to get a Spheroid before they went out of stock again and I was able to get a Line V2 on the classifieds on another site... but I really, REALLY want a Penelope and I don't think CoV is ever going to have them again. Wanting to move up to the really high quality mods like an iHybrid, Caravela or even a GG but they are so difficult to get. Same thing with high quality RBAs.[/endofbuiltupfrustration] Good thing Provari's are always available.

Here's what the Gun & Ammo shelves in Bass Pro looked like yesterday in Denver Colorado.

If you want the "cool" stuff then you have to be willing to wait and pay for it. I personally don't get involved with it. My eGo Twist and Nova Minis do me right day after day. I am off the cigs and happy with my setup. Why would I want to spend time chasing after the next
"cool" toy, knowing that something cooler is coming out soon?

I have a meager setup that I enjoy and I buy my juice from a great vendor who values their customers. I am happy as a pig in slop. I can't be bothered to chase a ZAP or an iHy.

According to your banner, you're also only 5 months in. Give that eGo 2 years and you'll be ready for something new. I have had my original Lava Tube since they first came out. It still works, but it looks like it's been run over by a bus. I know some people do, but I am not trying to chase "cool" stuff. I simply need a replacement and hopefully wont be in the market again for 2 more years!

I am ready for something new now. I am about to order a ProVari. I don't have to get on a list to get it and I don't have to hunt the classies here either. I am not hating on people that want those limited, elite PVs. I just can't be bothered to join in the hunt.

And the time shown on my banner does not equate to my time dealing with real life issues. These limited, "cool" things are not strictly limited to vaping. It happens in all walks of life. Cool shoes, cool cars, cool jewelry, etc. I have never been one to wait on a list to get what I want. I am happy getting what is readily available and do not think less of those that chase the high end stuff. I just can't be bothered to do it myself.

My favorite cartos have been out of stock for what seems like a month...both vendors. Ikenvape and Smoktek.

I'm wondering if people are freaking out and stocking up on stuff because of the uncertain FDA rulings coming up? Also, there's some sort of prolonged Chinese holiday presently, which may be affecting production and distribution.

The elite stuff that is in limited production I can understand. These folks might not be much larger in skilled workers than mom and pop type manufacturers, so they can only make so much at once.

Its possible

I can empathize.
I am waiting for the Lavatube in the Red (again, lol).
I wanted one earlier this month and they didn't have it, so I ordered a Vamo (love it!).
TWO DAYS later they got the red LT in again. Well I couldn't buy it 'cause I'd pulled the trigger on the Vamo and a whole slew of other vapestuff.
Now they are sold out of the Red LT again :(
I'm skeered to buy another mod because the red LT may come in again and that's what I want :p

But then...I historically have really bad timing too, lol

I have noticed that when I want something, it's usually out of stock. The ZAP, the CVI, the Vamo (last I checked), all of the Kir Fanis stuff, etc. The list goes on.

I'm seriously contemplating writing a script that allows one to put a list of links to things one wants, that will notify one when the items are marked in stock.



Frustrated!

Just remember with everything you can't buy, you're saving money and it might relieve your frustration a bit :p
