Internet puchasing scares me

[BunkysPrincess]

I am wanting to order e juices on line, being a recent vaping virgin I am not quite sure what companies are reputable and which I will send money to and never hear from.I also want sweet flavor non tobacco flavours.If it doesn't have a sweet vapor it will sit in a box,so with that said, can you guide me in the right direction? Watermelon Jolly Rancher is my ABSOLUTE fave but my local retailer hasn't heard from her supplier, and I am out of that flavor.

Try myfreedomsmokes.com. I have ordered from them with no problems and I notice they have all kinds of non-tobacco flavors in varying strengths. Try using the coupon code LIQUID20. It was good for 20% off.

Go through the list of vendors here and pick one you like, with flavors you think you'll like.

I know typing your credit card number into a web page can seem intimidating, but really you're not at any more risk on the internet than you are anywhere else. Hand your credit card to your server at a restaurant, and he/she can swipe it through a reader to clone the card on their way to the cash register. Use your debit card at an ATM and have it cloned (with your PIN number, recorded through a camera, or circuitry built into the ATM) and someone has carte blanche access to your bank account. I know that last one, because it happened to me. Just do the same thing with the internet that you'd do locally - be aware of where you're using it, and make sure you only hand over that information to reputable people/places. Personally, I prefer to use US businesses. Easier to file a complaint in the unlikely event that something happens, and easier for your bank to pursue after they refund your money.

There's a great selection of vendors that are used frequently by many of us in the ECF Supplier's Forum. A few that I've used and never had a problem with are: FreedomSmokeUSA, Vapor4Life, MyFreedomSmokes, and Gourmet Vapor.

Check out the reviews for some of the suppliers that you are interested in to see if anybody has had problems.

You can also consider getting a prepaid card to make transactions with if you are that concerned with your personal accounts. Just make sure you can use it for internet transactions.

It is very scary to buy online when beginning vaping, but most of the vendors I have ordered from have outstanding customer service and will work to make a customer happy. I only buy juice from companies that have been recommended by other members. I have had one bad experience from a vendor because the juice was just unvapable to me, but other people love that supplier, so that is part of the gamble of ordering. You will like some juice and others you won't. I have noticed that if you like one juice from a vendor you may like other juices from the same vendor because they seem to have the same characteristics. Remember to just buy samples to begin with.

Some good, highly recommended vendors on the forum are:

BlueMist Vapors
Mrs. T's
Tasty Vapors
Vaporbomb
Madvapes
Backwoods Brew
Gourmet Vapor
Velvet Vapors

There are plenty of juice suppliers besides that, those are ones I can think of off-hand.
Vapor Renu is my primary supplier but does not offer samples.

Really, the vendors on the forum are good, and if they do mess up, you can read all about it in their subforum. ECF members aren't shy about feedback.

...I am not quite sure what companies are reputable and which I will send money to and never hear from...

If you think they're all out to get you, they probably are...

(all the good advice has been dispensed, so all I got is some snark. )

I wouldn't worry about it, if someone defrauds your credit card you can easily dispute the charges, you are not responsible. Have fun

I have made probably close to a hundred orders and have never had one issue so unless you just get really unlucky I'm sure it will be fine .

Get a credit card that uses virtual account numbers. Every time you make a purchase you set the amount and a new account number is generated that is good for that sale only. Got mine through Citi and it works like a charm.
