But again, they were'nt actually selling them.

RIIIIGGGHHTTTT!!!


So, going into their stock room, bringing the baggie of atmoizers out which they CLAIMED were new and unused, handing one to a customer and asking for money in return is NOT selling them?


What universe do you live in? Clearly it's not ours.

Most likely just a rebranded web store front for a drop shipper. When I owned my own computer biz, I had an online store that searched, sold, and drop shipped from the distributor. I didnt always know everything that was sold, nor knew about everything they carried.

You seem to have a hard time grasping the concept that your anecdotal experience is not universally authoritative, or necessarily applicable to anyone but yourself.

OK.. attacks it is...

And you seem to have a hard time excepting that you were and are rude, belittling and small. Just cause you like and use one kind of atomizer does not mean that the world does, or should, revolve around you and your limited ways. Get over yourself and get a actual life. The world out there works in certains ways. If you cant handle that and adapt, you need to crawl back into your hole.



Was that ok for an attack?

No.. 'Type A' atomizers... And, generally, 'newbs' have no idea what an atomizer is anyways.. Most shops that have started up, including shops that have started to carry ecigs' are for the newbs. They neither want, nor care about, atomizers.

Dude, what planet do you live on? You're actually suggesting (presumably with a straight face) that most vape shops don't stock normal replacement parts for one of the most common product lines on the face of the Earth?

They must be operating under a very unique definition of the term "vape shop" in Indiana.

Personal experience only, man...


But, just how do you know that these are the 'most common product lines on the face of the Earth'? I thought that was Coke, Pepsi, and Marlboro?

And, while we are discussing 'my reality', how is it that most people here, on this forum, haven't heard about these Type A's? If 'your reality' is the only 'correct one' than why do I not know about them? If they are so popular, why doesn't everyone know about them?

If the *owner* of a vape shop looked at me like a deer in headlights when I asked them about atomizers, I would've had the same reaction as the OP. sSc_escape.gif

I don't suppose you're familiar with the term "spurious appeal to popular opinion." At least it would seem not.

Also, the eGo sub-board on this forum has 2,927 threads and 47,445 posts, both of which far exceed the numbers for any of the other model-specific boards. In other words, you're just making stuff up and don't seem to care that it's the opposite of the truth.

And, most likely me too.. I wasnt arguing that point. I was merely making observations about certain things based on experience. I dont really care if the OP's story was true or his reactions to the owners were good or not.

Wow.. talk about not applying what you say... 6 months a vapor, well, actually 'ecig user', read one forum that has a lot of posts, and think that that proves your point? Can we say 'hypocrite'? LOL!

Bad case of Know it all verses new comer trying to do more.
So the owners are not Einsteins. I bet you once didn't know Jack(or maybe you were born all knowing)
Yea that is a bit S.A. but so is the opening post.

The people have gone out of their way, at their expense to attempt to bring supply to the area.
You teach, they learn.
You ask/explain and they may order/supply.
They get a lot of arrogant customers like you seem to be and you LOSE a possible supply source.

Been there/Done that - 23 years in business for myself and I learned VOLUMES along the way.:)

I dunno, maybe it's just me but I fail to see where the OP was all that rude. It appeared he even tried to throw in a little humor.

I guess I've just.. well... got a pair and sport thick skin.

Agreed and exactly what I was thinking... Never heard of it and I doubt many who started in the last 9-12 months have ever used them..
c'mon

no just no

You're saying no one who's started in the last year uses Joyetech products? or has ever used them?

:\
No.. 'Type A' atomizers... And, generally, 'newbs' have no idea what an atomizer is anyways.. Most shops that have started up, including shops that have started to carry ecigs' are for the newbs. They neither want, nor care about, atomizers. Only that it looks good, works, and easy to use. That means, for the most part, clearomizers and tanks along with some fancy looking (but cheap) batteries to power them.

As I said in another post, most car shops are not 'modding shops'. If you want to mod, you find a shop that deals in that. This industry is starting to take off, and for better or for worse, that means catering to the newb. Simple example would be the Harley explosion of the last 15 years or so.. Tons of 'new' bikes that only catered to the newb and casuals..
Type-A attys are the standard replacement part for pretty much every single Joyetech product made in the past 2 yrs. They come in the Joye starter kits; you need them to keep you Joye products working.

i.e. the epitome of a newb product that everyone owning a vape shop not catering exclusively to modders should carry

but your response is very revealing of your own ignorance and fairly substantial assumptions
