Soon after I started vaping I converted to buying "direct" from Chinese suppliers because I was convinced I would save significantly compared to domestic suppliers... Well it's time for my monthly restock and I think I can do it in the US, I just have to shop around a bit.

I'm ordering 2 usb passthrus, 4 atomizers and 4 bottles of 30ml juice. I can one-stop-shop all that for $105 from healthcabin, shipping included. Passthrus are $11 each, atomizers are $7 and juice is $9.

I can get the hardware from Rocky Mountain Vapor for $62 shipped, free shipping really makes a difference. I wanted to order a five pack of atomizers from TW since they also have the longer lasting 510 batteries but they're apparently out of stock on the attys.

Mist-stix has the best deal on juice in the US (that I've been able to find) at $9 for a 30ml bottle after a HUGE ECF discount. If shipping for 4 bottles is lower than $7 (and I doubt it will be, but who knows) I'd be able to get everything I want this month domestically for the same amount of money. Unfortunately Mist-stix and Rocky Mountain are BOTH out of coffee juice which means I'm going to need to find a 3rd company to order from.

That one stupid 30ml bottle of coffee is gonna throw this whole thing out the window because it's going to cost $15-20 plus shipping to get it anywhere else. I have to get it because it's what my wife will go through in a month.

I guess I'm overthinking this and should just go ahead and place one order with healthcabin after all, maybe next month...

I don't know about waiting for things to come from China, as it happens every order I've placed from a Chinese supplier has arrived FASTER than domestic deliveries. Seriously. There are people reporting 4 days from checkout to delivery from healthcabin for instance.

The other issue is of course the one that's confronting me now, stock. No matter how good the deal is if they can't sell it to me it's useless.
