Vapelite has them for $5 a 5pack but they're out of stock at the moment. Also crystal clear vaping has a 15 carto deal on Boge 2.0 for $20 with free shipping and a free drip tip. One more, good prophets has them for about $7 a 5 pack with 14%off right now if you look at the deals and steals thread there's a code.

Eastmall also sells them for $4.50 a pack when you get 5 5-packs for $22.50

I had looked at Eastmall and Health Cabin when I was looking around for cartomizers. The problem with shipping (from China I guess?) is that it is so high! It's not really much of a savings unless you are buying a lot of stuff. The minimum order from East mall for shipping to US was $35 or $36, iirc, then shipping was 17.00. So $22.50*2 + $17 = $62. That comes to $6.20 per 5 pack, which really isn't that low of a price and then shipping takes a long time right?

Am I missing something with these bargains from China? Is there a way to get a lower shipping price, other than just ordering enough stuff to make it worth it?

My bad.... I didn't realize they were in China. Thanks for pointing that out and saving me the grief next time I'm ready to order. :)
The last time I bought carto's I got 30 of them (6 boxes) from Spring Vapor and after shipping, I paid $46.70 for them, which comes to about $1.56 each. I messed up somehow and didn't apply for some discount I should have, so Nik threw in a couple of free drip tips for me. Nice guy.
That was on Jan 2nd and I still have 23 of them left (not including the 4 in use now in various tanks), so evidently they last me a while. My point (to myself anyway) is, that at that rate of use, $1.56 per carto isn't too bad.

Edited to add: Ever wonder why I chose this avatar?

Spaz, your post was not even a little bit rude. Thanks for having such great social skills, but you have nothing to worry about.

I reread my post, and realized it sounded kind of rude. I didn't mean it to be. I really was curious as to whether I was missing some cheaper shipping deals on the Chinese supplier sites. :)

thanks everyone for the answers. I went ahead and just ordered them from CCV, since that is where I got my resurrectors from recently. 15 for $19 with coupon code and free shipping. And yes, the chinese supplier great deal but cost just as much in shipping as it did for 2 5packs :/ $1.26 is prob about as good as I am gonna get that are in stock and not having to order 50 of them I guess.
Of course I have to wait for ccv website to allow ordering tomorrow :/
I hope they will punch them for me for my tank
