I'm not sure I understand exactly. If you are talking about brands like, greensmoke, V2 Cigs, the SAfe Cig, Blu, Pure, whitecloud njoy etc. etc. Not at all. IMO all ripoffs. If you are talking about reputable resellers, yes. I buy quite a bit from Liberty flights and Mypvshop.com and a few others.

I am vendor loyal if I have gotten good service and prices (these are mostly multi-brand good-price hardware vendors like Liberty-Flights.com and LiteCigUSA.net)

I am model loyal no matter which vendor I buy it from

I am anti-clone unless I know the clone is well made, well liked, and totally compatible with the original manufacturer model.

I am viciously anti anything that is called one model number but has different threading or polarity (vicious like a badger) and for some models that have that problem I steer people totally away from clones

I am anti ripoff rebranders, especially those that charge too much for parts, lie, do not sell blank cartridges, sell prefills that are glued shut to thwart adding juice, or sell bad models

I am fine with reasonably priced rebranders that offer nice colors and full service w/ juice, blank cartridges and good service though if we don't know what model it is then I will warn people against it

I have an attitude about places that don't offer manual batteries

I have no loyalty. I own and use Joye 510 batts, Egos, 5 VT direct PT and 5 different mods made from 4 different vendors. LR-SR-and HV attys, Joye-Boge-Dual- and G4 cartomizers. I prefer different PV's at different times along with different methods of getting my juice to my PV's. Since I started vaping I've placed orders with 20+ different vendors at different times and have reordered from more than half of them and would reorder again from all of them if they had on sale what I was looking for when I wished to purchase something. I do have my favorites and will look at them first before ordering anything but have no hesitating to order from someone else if the other person's product has what I'm looking for at a price I'm willing to pay and the vendor and the product has a reputation on ECF for being good.

Not sure when you bought yours but the site says genuine Joye now.

May be confusion here, myPVshop.com clearly states fs ego's and genuine Joye eGo's. I have a geniune Joye eGo from there, but the clones (fs) have an excellent rep as well. Difference is 5 second cut off mainly, maybe battery life.

I'm vendor loyal, and will also tell people about bad experiences with vendors that over hype products. The sapphires at gotvapes I have tried were awful. The Flavor is nothing great and muted compared to DC's... the CE2's had more flavor. Had dry spots on them too... just an over hyped product.

JuicyVapor is over priced. Flavors were decent and close to what they were suppose to be. I checked my account and was told they shipped out on the 20th, got an email on the 21st saying it was shipped, then finally checked the usps tracking and found out it wasnt shipped til the 22nd... overall took a complete week and wasn't happy since they had mentioned they extended a sale due to people not ordering... so it couldnt of been they were busy. I ordered on a sunday and didnt receive until the following monday. Was hoping to get my juice at least in that weeks span.

Only options when I checked out were 6$ + priority shipping, turned out to be the slowest shipping of any juice I have ordered from anywhere. Next day I noticed they had a first class option when I put 1 item in a cart. Also CS didn't answer the phone during hours of operations when I called to fix the shipping issue. And they never answered a question about a papaya juice I asked about. These things may be little to some, But I feel its a bad sign for things to come.

On above posts about mypvshop.com, I have some of the FS 510's and they work well, got a couple of people started on the ones I bought and only 1 reported atty died. Great deal on those, and a good vendor.

Madvapes has always been great and found great juice and CS at jooglerjuice.

I wouldn't say I'm loyal to vendors in general but I have only ordered my juice from kickbassvapors latley because of the quality. i ordered from many vendors before and was always disappointed. I am ready to try some new vendors out though. As far as devices i use a 900mah ego battery and a varivolt sabertouch mod both strictly with clear dual coil cartomizers.
