Well I am one of the fools who overpaid for my eGo setup; I love the product and am enjoying it immensely, but I overpaid. I then came across their supplier on the net and was able to order 8 juices various favors and strengths as well as an e9 as a backup. How much did all that cost me? $10 more than I would have paid Mall Kiosks for ONE 20ml juice. Supplier is in China; anyone on here ever ordered straight from Asia? It seems it all comes from there and every supplier sets prices as they see fit.
Mall Kiosks.

I myself don't mind paying more to help support an American business .. Mall shops will always be more costly than mail order .. they have overhead / rents expensive / folks have to make a living .. etc
It doesn't all come from there. A lot of juices are made here (a lot of them with nicotine from China or other countries but that can't be helped as most of the world's nicotine is produced there). Also the best APVs are made in US or Europe, while the next step in vaping - rebuildable atomizers come from Europe or are made here in the US.
But, yeah, if you are talking cheap "ultimately disposable" setups and all the disposable heads - atties, cartos, etc. - then they come from China. US vendors who re-sell them, however, give you some peace of mind and convenience. You get the delivery faster, are more likely to actually get what you ordered, and they offer good customer support. Ordering from China directly might be a gamble a lot of times. There are a lot of trusted and reputable US vendors - start by looking on the ECF Forum suppliers page.
We are not talking of Mall Kiosks on this forum, but of well established and reasonably priced vendors that mostly do their business online.

I actually stopped at one today. Ran out of juice and my orders arrive monday. Cute lil place. Egos. Some ones that look like provaris but i dont think they were. Got to test the juice too. Berry. Loved it which is good because monday my orders are mostly berry. Im just happy they have good setups and juices as opposed to the tiny pricey starter kits with cartridge refills only.
I most certainly will be checking out the approved vendors here on the site. The markup was what boggled my mind; who knows, I might be disappointed in the product that arrives. When it's all said and done I am just happy that I found such a thriving community here. Look forward to learning a grea deal.
you're in the Twin Cities. Check out the vermillion river thread in the venders part of the forum. They have a shop in the south suburbs and a couple other locations that sell their juice.
Greetings from Canada! Welcome to ECF!
It's actually Good News to hear that mall kiosks are selling eGos rather than the 'small batts' that always end up being replaced with eGo, or better, gear. I hope the eGo Twist will become the new standard equipment for beginner kits so that people can get a full experience from their first gear at a reasonable price.
Kiosks will always have to charge more for their wares because of high rent and wages. It's great to see that they have moved to more practical gear for vapers!
Relax, Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I agree that at least the kiosks are now offering higher quality stuff; it was a big selling point with me even with the premium price.

Paying more for an locally made product is ok by me but this right here is just plain gouging.
Still anything that gets you off the death sticks cant be all bad.

As far as the Ego clones go, it is all pretty much the same. But with juice, eh. Some of the cheaper juice isn't all that great. I've been burned buying cheap juice before, when it ended up being nasty nasty! Granted, some cheaper juices are really good too. It all just depends.
I do, however, prefer to buy from an American company at least, whenever I can. At least then some of the money stays domestic and cycles through the economy. Vendors with American made juices are even better. However, I do suspect that the supplies still come from China.

I envy anyone that lives within a reasonable distance of an actual shop .. the ability to sample liquid is invaluable, especially when you first get started ..
