Is Vaping "Picking Up Major Steam" Or Is It Normal For Everyone To Be Out Of Stock?

[spainman]

I've been looking for the last few days and I'm having the hardest time finding replacement twist batteries as everyone is out of stock. Oh yea and 5 pack vivi coils.... everyone is out of those too... This will be my first extra battery order since I got started with my kit, and I'm looking at trying the 1300mah spinner but everyone is out. The Joye 1000 mah is a second choice but finding those is also kind of hard (or only available in colors I don't want), but I do like the dial on the spinner.

But is this the norm for stuff to run out? Or is vaping getting that popular now where everything is flying off shelves?

Just kind of venting a bit too...

I've kinda been wondering the same thing. I'm new to this and have been visiting lots of sites in the last week or so, and have noticed the "out of stock" sign waving in lots of places. Is this the norm?

Part of it was Chinese new yr everything was shut down for 3 weeks. Another part is fda scare.

I got my Joyetech ego from Cignot. It looks like they have some in stock but don't know what colors your looking for......

 

[mommyofdoom]

I'm thinking it's a combination of factors, and an expanding customer base is almost certainly part of it.

Our local shop is always slammed, when I show up I usually am 5th or 6th in line for help, and they always have 3-4 people working the counter. And it seems about half of the customers in front of me are new and trying to figure out a good initial setup. I'd say the industry is growing pretty steadily.

Okay thanks, I see Cignot does have Joyetechs in colors I would order. Anybody know (before I give up) who has vision spinners in stock?
I'm also ordering for two, and the other guy I'm ordering for seems bent on blue or black... yea when I said battery color I was more so talking about him... push come to shove I'm flexible.

I've noticed too. I've been looking for a Vamo, everywhere I find it is sold out. Not sure if there really popular or if people are buying backups cause of the FDA scare.
Anybody know where I can procure one???

 

[klynnn]

This is a pre order on the vamo to arrive by mar 10. Lots are out as usual after the chinese new year- things will start being available soon . Smoke tech is out also but usually not for too long. I am very happy with my vamo.

During Chinese new year, the Chinese companies shut down. So the vendors run out of stock. Just keep checking different places for what you need, you can find most things by shopping around. Several companies have said they will be fully restocked by mid-March.

I wish we celebrated new years for three weeks.

Dress up like dragons and light sparklers.

That would be wicked awesome.

The disruption in the supply chain happens every year, so you need to plan for it and order ahead.

That said, the juice supplier I use flat can't keep up with demand. They have even added a third shift, so they are producing juice 24/7 now.

Dekang products have been intermittently unavailable at certain vendors I frequent. The same for Vision Vivi Nova tanks and parts. When one vendor was out, I was able to find one or two other who obviously ordered ahead and was able to find what I needed. I think it's also a year end effect caused by vendors allowing inventory to dwindle until after the new year. Taxes on inventory at year end can be affected by overstocking, so they sell down to an acceptable level. It's a beginning of year inventory minus end of year inventory factor that affects cost of goods sold for taxes.

Then, the Chinese New Year delays shipping for inventory rebuild.

And yea juices too... my usual ECBlend orders are taking longer... I've been wanting to try Alice In Vapeland out and they seem to be swamped too...

I looked at his store and found the page on his starter kits. He says batteries have a lifespan of 3 weeks? ... is that ? i spose if you constantly over fill you cartos and let them drain into the batteries they would not last 2 days but still..3 weeks? i have 808 and 4081 batteries i've had for a year with no issues.
