ok..checked out the istick and I love it..still not sure about co-ops..

A co-op is a GROUP pre-sale that is hosted by someone, usually at a forum like on ECF or other forums/social media sites. You pre-pay for the items that you want/order from the co-op organizer. He/she in turn orders the vaping items from a vendor or company in China (usually), and in a large quantity to get a LOWER price than normal retail. The PLUS side to it.....You (usually) can get really good prices/deals than you would get from ordering from a local or U.S. online vendor, because a LARGE quantity of the item(s) are being purchased for the group of people that are in the co-op buy. The downside (and there's at least 2 or them).......You will have no control on when you get your product(s). The co-op organizer pays for the entire GROUP order, and usually only when EVERYONE in the co-op has paid for their orders FIRST. You get an "estimated" time that you SHOULD receive your items......but you are at the mercy of the company in China (usually from there) as far as shipping time and availability of the items. Co-ops are usually NOT guaranteed, and if items are seized from customs, or they get lost/misdelivered etc.......You may not get your items.....AND....you're out the money for them. It's a risk, yes, but if you find a really good price for something that you want (and you don't mind waiting a month or so to get it), and the co-op organizer is a reputable person...... then co-ops can be a good thing. If you don't like risks, and you need something within a week....co-ops are NOT for those people.

If you really like the iStick and would like one at a good price (and receive it within a week).....Let me know, and I can point you in the right direction to a place that has them IN STOCK.....and at a good price. If so....let me know, and I will PM (private message) you on where to get one.
