Hello all, nice forum!
That being said, this is my first post, but I do A LOT of reading here, and love the forum. I started with a 4801, then moved up to the DSE801, which I love. My friend introduced me to it, after he purchased his first 801 to quit smoking. (BTW, we a re both smoke free for going on 6 mos!).
Anyway, he bought his on an impulse buy, at the local mall (Mall Of Ga, Atlanta) from QuantumCig. After doing a bit of research, I bought the same unit for a 3rd of the price from one of the vendors recommended by your site, and have been a happy customer ever since. His might be a little more convenient to replace, since the mall is only a few mins away, but I don't personally think it was worth the $150 bucks he spent for it, and the 1 year warranty. I've been through half as many atomizers, and have come to realize they should only last a few months at best, and find the prices very accommodating (and every vaper knows ya always keep spare attys.
)
The problem we face now, is that I was purchasing their pre-filled carts at $10 bucks a pop for 5 vanilla high (18) from the store (yes, its a rip, but it was convenient), and just refilling, or topping off, and purchasing my liquids from my online suppliers. None of the online suppliers I've gone through seem to have the hard plastic tips I prefer, only the soft rubber ones. Recently, and without so much as a kind word (more like a middle finger) the Quantum store closed and issued a statement on their website apologizing for the closings, and offering to honor the 1 year warranty for him through their website. I went to purchase the hard tipped pre-filled's, and found out that they wanted about $10 in shipping now, when I used to be able to just drive 5 mins and get them...instant gratification style.
So now my question is this: if anyone is familiar with the Quantum tips (hard, black plastic, very sturdy, pre-filled with vanilla, coffee, etc, at 18mg or higher) can someone direct me where to purchase them?
I am admitedly a little peeved about the way a company charges $150 bucks for a unit, and then vanishes to tell me later I need to pay for their overpriced carts, AND a new shipping fee, because their lease is "unexpectedly up" (oddly, there's another store in it's place 2 days later charging $30 for 10 ml, even more than the previous store's $20 for 15 ml-which is why I thank heaven for this forum and better sites for liquids! lol).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We're a little new to this, and I feel like we've been blindsided a little. I can upload a pic of the carts I'm used to using if it helps. Thanks in advance!
