FS510 is reverse polarity and its charger can fry and vent normal 510 batteries and vice versa. For that reason I steer people away from them.

This is why each kit comes with a card on top marked clearly to not use these chargers with any other 510 battery. At least they don't hide the fact. Any other disadvantage to the reverse polarity batteries?

I have favorites for juice and supplies and shop sales for first-time buying with other vendors. I'm fiercly loyal to AltSmoke and GreatLakesVapor for mods. It's all fun and games until you have a serious issue :( Tried the main fat batt PV sellers and brands and they seem nearly the same to me, one brand has a little more power (Kgo). I guess I'm loyal to recommending that or Ego/Riva to a noob.

We're in the early Wild West of vaping. I'm glad there's not a WalMart vaping store yet. I'm enjoying doing business with small suppliers happy for the business and eager to satisfy.

Yes - the disadvantage is exactly that - a person forever will have to buy their 510 batteries and charger from that one place. if they ever buy normal 510 batteries elsewhere they will have to always be careful about which 510 battery goes in which 510 charging cable. If they see a particular PCC or a battery color they want elsewhere, they cannot use it. Etc. I only recommend people buy 510 stuff that is compatible with the vast majority of 510 stuff and that includes chargers, PCC, batteries.

I was just curious how e cig brand loyal are you?
Do you try different e cig brands often or stick with one company?

I'm loyal to the folks that offer what I want at a good price with fast shipping and treat me well. Good examples are Liberty Flights, Ace of Vapes and Alien Visions. They could teach anyone in the industry how to do business.

I'm very brand loyal to Bloog after my crappy Smoketip screw (I was too loyal to them). I love their bats, chargers and blank cartos and won't go anywhere else to save a buck. The fact I can literally scroll down to the vendor section here and get answers from Bloog directly to any question (which I did last week) with a fast answer time is amazing to me.

I hope the same thing doesn't happen to you when you ask a question/post a comment- the whole thread gets deleted.

pricing is one thing, good venders is another, but another aspect is where the vender is located for shipping. for me, madvapes takes only three days to get to florida while ecigexpress takes about ten days coming from washington state, so even if selling the same thing at the same price, shipping is a factor. so yeah i guess i'm more vender loyal than brand loyal just due to geographics...

guess it would depend upon shipping method too, mine always ships through usps and 3000 miles is less than 500 miles. i don't know how they are going across country in three days, fedex i'd guess 'cause ups and the usps can't do that unless they airmail from california to florida, i must have an extra sorting hub or something for my geography adding into the travel time.

Is method of shipping USPS? 10 days - I have never experienced. Sounds of "direct ship" from China. Location in US - somewhat important - but not the 7 day difference mentioned - in my experiences.
