seems like I order once a month at around $50, unlessI want a new toy ! Then add the cost of a new mod to that. Last moth my 'new toy' was four 1000mA eGo Twists and six Kanger T3's spread out over three seperate orders, in addition to my juice orders. Mamaw was starting to make comments on how much was coming in the mail a couple weeks ago so I promised her I'm done til January !
Being new to this every order I've made has been small. I'm just trying everything out. Vendors probably get tons of small orders due to newbs like me. I would think this would be an encouraging thing to vendors since it shows their potential customer base growing.
I'm Divided between 3 different liquid vendors, and i like tanks from far and wide. I place orders that are probably annoying all the time lol, i just received two glass replacement tank tubes on sale from hoosiervapes and the shipping and handling was like 1/4 the order. feels silly but you need those tidbits :/
As an e-pipe user I am finding I have to place small orders with several vendors to get the set-ups I want. Add that to the fact I also use rebuildables and you end up looking for the best prices from several places. I do try to avoid one or two item orders as I prefer spreading the shipping over multiple items but that is not always possible. And of course my three favorite juices come from 3 different vendors...
I just try to make a list and keep the shipping costs down as much as possible.

I use excel when placing orders that may involve may small parts + bigger items like mods/apvs. I make a list of what i want, scour the sites to see who has what, consolidate, compare prices + shipping and then go from there. Thankfully most vendors have very reasonable shipping.

Vaping supply sites often sell items that cost less than $1.00 apiece. They are not like online shoe stores where it may be impossible to make a purchase of less than $15.00.
I have no problem with minimal purchase limits at sites that sell inexpensive items. The minimal purchase amount is completely up to the vendor. I have made less than $10 purchases at some online sites.

e-juice vendors should realize that with bans in most countries, nobody is going to lose a package labeled e-juice. Plain silly way to lose customers.
This just goes for me but whenever I am in need of a " small " item, I always try to by in bulk so as not to " waste " the vendors time and money.... say for instance cartos or attys or a tank... I might order them in multiples... however if I am just wanting to " try " an item like a new tank then I will always look for a site that has some good juices too and throw some of them in with the order... I did have to place an order for under $10 one time but it was through a vendor that I have literally spend HUNDREDS with so I didn't feel to bad.
Why should anyone feel bad for placing a small order? I don't get why so many here are beholden to these vendors. I don't know of any other business that has it so good as to have customers willing to keep them pleased or happy instead of expecting to be so themselves. I have found this so strange ever since starting to read at ECF. Nor, I might add, have I ever seen businesses making the irrational excuses I've seen vendors make... and I've been astounded by those who actually buy them.
I don't really have set order limit, I get what I can when I can. I won't order anything silly (like a buck or 2) but I don't wait until I have x to spend either. I'm still in the phase of building up my supplies, backups, etc.
Most of my orders are $15 or under.
1. The nearest B&M is 15 miles away
2. I always have something in the mail.
3. Madvape's shipping is a flat $2.99.

All my orders are small. I think the largest order I've yet placed has been around $80.00, and my average is about $20.00. Hell, I recently orders 2 atties and a drip tip from Volcano, so that's less than $20.00 including shipping.
I spend about $100 a month, but $30 of that is because I order 60 mL a month from 1 spendy vendor in southern Wisconsin, the rest from other shops that are popular on this forum. And I'm new to this, like 4 months in, and I'm still trying new stuff. I read here to see what's good, watch vids and buy different juices every time. I've decided on a favorite carto, now, and a favorite tank, so the mod is next, then it'll be all about the juice.
And BTW, I ordered a $9 Cisco Spec atty from one site today, then ordered $35 of juice and parts from one site and a 30mL bottle of something new from a different vendor for $20. The last 2 are my normal twice a month purchases.

Placing small orders is a big plus to many who want to get samples of liquids. Some suppliers offer sample packs which is great for users who want to sample or love to mix it up when they vape.
