Looking for a good vendor

[Prylosis]

Greetings all
I've been searching this site for a few weeks now, (I wish I'd have found it a couple years ago!), and I can't seem to find answers to some of the questions I have, so at the risk of extreme redundancy, I've decided to post them here.

I'm looking for a reputable vendor here in the states. I've found a couple I liked in the UK and Canada, but I'm trying to avoid international shipping. All things being equal, if I can save 30 or 40 bucks from one vendor to the next, I'd like that, but more important to me is service during and after the sale. Is the customer service is just going to give me a pat answer so that I'll leave them alone, or write back to me saying; "Well, our people will contact your people, to let you know just how screwed you are"? Also, some sort of guarantee, even a 30 day would be good.

I'm thinking of buying an innokin iTaste VTR and an IBTanked product, as well as Cartomizers, batteries, and the like. I've narrowed my search down to three, and was wondering if they are a good choice, or if one of you with far more experience than myself, could suggest a good company to do buisness with. Thank you all in advance, and I hope your all having a great day!

1. Aqua Vapor
2. mad vapes
3. My Vapor Store

In that order.

Well, if you're going to get a carto tank from IBTanked, get it from the source at ibtanked.com.

As for the rest, do your research and price comparisons. The Supplier section here on ECF would be a good place to start.

I used My Vapor Store to buy my initial setup .... VTR (which you will love by the way) a couple of spare tanks, spare heads and some juice. I was very happy with their selection and the speed of delivery. I can't say anything about the other two.

One company that I stumbled across was 101 vape .... I have no idea about their customer support but they have crazy insane prices on hardware.

Thank you retired1, I was going to order from IBTanked... But forgot to mention that. lol sucks to get old. But you are right, thank you for pointing that out.

I was looking at the supplier section, but I guess I was trying to find a rating or ranking to each supplier. Thinking about that, I suppose unless the vendor is just real bad, it would be like asking 10 people to choose an e-liquid for you.

Thanks marcaroni! MVS looks real good, I'll check out 101 vape. I appreciate the response!

Madvapes seems to be alright, but have issues keeping things in stock!
I think Ikenvape has the best cartomizers, but, again, you have to catch them in stock!
Randy at RTD vapor is GREAT with everything he carries!
OKC vapes is great to deal with.
And of course, for my juice of choice, vapingwatch is the place for all the Mad Murdock flavors you will be reading about!

I seriously use about 50 different vendors, as no one carries all the products I use, including many specialty products. A good place to find good deals in VaporJoes.com. Sign up for the newsletter. Be warned, this can get expensive. For early vaping general gear there are several very good ones:

1. 101vapes
2. Discount Vapers
3. My Vapor Store
4. MyFreedomSmokes
5. Got Vapes
6. Mad Vapes
7. CigTechs
8. Avid vaper
9. SureVapes (cartomizers!)
10. RTD Vapors (batteries)
11. Exhale Vapors
12. VaportekUSA
13. IVape
14. Empire Mods

There are at least 30 mone that I use and could recommend. Since most of my gear is now on the higher end, there's at least 20 outstanding vendors out there, worldwide, that I buy from frequently, but wouldn't recommend them for the early vaping hobby. Good luck to you!

Thanks so much sawlight and Bill's! A lot of good info there. I think my new hobby is just looking at all the shiny things!!

Be careful! It gets expensive quick!

101vape is personally my favorite. I had a mix up at the post office and it was returned to sender. They replied very quickly, let me reorder and sent another within a day. Then refunded my first order.
