I have now been at this a few months, At first my issue was what where and why do i need that!! Now I'm settling in but along the way i have used some really great vendors and I'm the type of person that likes to support people who treat me with respect and have helped me with decisions along the way......So my new issue is cost! its easy to search and get a good idea of the value of the product you want. So if your preferred vendor is always 20% more then average should you stick with them? ask for a hey i like you but i can get this here discount? or just buy it at the other vendor?
Just curious.

    I'm one of those lucky ones to have a brick & morter store 5 minutes from the house.
    So I would support them even at twice the price. The only things I buy elsewhere are the things they don't carry.
    Interisting enough, they now carry some of the things I've bought elsewhere. Guess it's safe to say that they listen to their customers needs.

    I go with the best prices and if I get bummer CS, I don't go back. But I always go back some time sooner or later to the ones who had great CS. I have quite a list of great ones, thankfully. Nobody has everything in stock of the goodies I am shopping for at the moment, and the larger the list of good vendors, the more confidence I have. Shop around. Everyone needs backups for their backups to their backups...

    I stick with my vendor for several reasons. First, when I have compared hardware prices on what I buy, I don't find the pricing different enough to make me wanna "go there" with a new vendor. Second, I already know I'm getting excellent customer service and consistently fast shipping. Third, I've never received a "We're sorry. The x, y or z you ordered is out of stock..." e-mail after placing an order. Lastly, I always thought I was buying from a small vendor. Then when I look around I have found there are a lot of less established places with much smaller offerings.

    I will eventually purchase somewhere else. But excellent - and consistent - customer service and shipping goes a long way in holding onto my loyalty. For now, I'm glad to give my vendor the 4 or 5 extra bucks I might save on a $60.00 order if I went someplace else. Knowing what to expect is worth it.

    I like cheaper prices but, I will NOT settle for a lack of quality. All of my vendors are in the middle of the pack when it comes to prices of their juices. All of them have great customer service which is very important to me as well. Which vendors have you tried so far? My go to vendors for juice are; nitelitevapor, vapor station, virgin vapor, and vermillion river. For supplies and mods; reosmods, avid vapor, crystal clear vaping, and madvapes.

    Also, you sometimes have to pay a little more for a quality product. It costs more for them to make it and so, it's not that bad and you don't have to deal with a crappy product that doesn't measure up to your standards.
