Hey owners,moderators or whoever is in charge. I'm always hearing of sales going on with vaping sites,but always through another member and always by stumbling upon it by thumbing through a random post. By then it's usually over or almost over. Would it be possible to add a "sales from vendors" section somewhere? Ya know, where vendors and/or members can post where a current sale is going on. Kinda like a "Sunday Sales paper" of sorts. Somewhere on the main page where we all can hit it up first before browsing other categories.

This is a good idea and we will implement it one way or another. Maybe call it Hot Deals or something - just need to find the best place to put it.

Right now, Deals & Steals and the Suppliers Forum are the best places to look. All the Suppliers put their deals in that forum, including those with their own forum.

It would be good to restrict it to registered suppliers and/or include caveats about buyer beware. Some of the discount postings are for non-ECF suppliers who are priced radically higher than most ECF registered suppliers, or not legitimate businesses.

I recall as a new member I followed deals to a couple of suppliers I thought were fine because they were mentioned in Deals and Steals, only to find out later they were overpriced or sub-par, with no ECF accountability. The Box Elder incident is just one example.

If ECF creates a specific area for sales I'm concerned that newer members will be led to think all deals there are legitimate savings as they are grouped there by ECF. Perhaps two sections, one for ECF registered and one for Non-ECF deals would help members differentiate established suppliers from riskier deals. It would also add value to the registration of suppliers.
