Read this! New ECF Sister Site - Metavaper (can I get your help?)

Visiting it now, and I'll put my comments as I see them..

First thing I visited, was the tanks. I didn't see an option to filter out RTA or premade coils. Nor is there an option for that.

It may be a bit daunting, but maybe have a clearance section.. those deals that last only while they have stock, etc. Sometimes I might bite if I see an old favorite tank on clearance, but those deals won't be shown in the regular sales.

Maybe a dedicated space for ads if you have ads. that way the familiar format will always be the same.

A link to ECF?

Maybe a hint that it is a pre-order for those items that are a pre order?

Although I am from the US, maybe post where that company is from if known.. might help with shipping.

For mods, maybe post battery/wattage for separation and have an "all" option. maybe: built in, Single, dual, tri, 4+.

the logo is perfect, and the color and layout is simplistic which is good. if you wish to polish it up some, you could put some low res pics.. maybe a quick loading black and white gif of vapor on the sides or as a background.

Just some precursory observations.

 

Checked it out and registered. I like it! All the best deals in one place. This may not be good for my Shinyitis though.

 

Excellent idea! Good luck going forward.

 

I think it would be helpful to have a sale start and end date for time sensitive sales or a clearance til stock is gone type of notice for clearance items..

It seems very difficult as it is to tell whether the posting your looking at is still good..

 

I like the sort by store and brand features, and that you can select multiples. It’s frustrating in some sites when you have to look at a single brand, or wade through 12 pages of stuff you’ve no interest in.

 

Won't let me register. Keeps asking for an activation code that I do not have.

 

After browsing the website for awhile now, I have a few comments and questions:
(1) I clicked to go take a look at Accessories. When the page loaded...of the 10 things shown there, 8 are RDAs and RTAs. Question: Since members spot these "deals" for the site...do they also choose what category to have them appear in, ON the site? If the answer is yes, I can see where the categories can become very cluttered with items that should be in different categories.

(2) While browsing the "Stores" list, I noticed that many places I buy vaping items from, don't appear on the list. I'm sure there are lots of them that others shop at, too, that aren't on there.
Question: What determines which stores appear on the site? Do only those stores who pay a fee to be shown, show up? Or...Will any store appear when members post a deal that vendor has?

 

Tagging in to follow this. Looks interesting

 

Just registered with the site and had and problems.
*Would prefer accessories be limited to actual accessories. There were only two actual accessories listed; the rest were attys and a kit.
*The "buy now" without listing where I am buying from is a guarantee that I won't click on that posting.
* I agree that there should be a drop down for atomizers: RDA, RTA, Tanks
*Would be nice if you could get some wire vendors on board like Advanced Vape Supply, Kbees, Lightning Vapes, etc.
*Would have liked to have seen instruction on how to post deals or if I can post deals when I registered.

 

I registered and was told to log in, but couldn't log in without the activation email which I haven't received yet..

You got yours already?

 

I wasn't told to log in, just that I now had an account don't remember the exact wording). I used my ECF name and the same password I use here to register.

 

Okay that's useful.. I used all the same login information as well.. it's likely we just haven't gotten the registration emails yet..

Thank you

 

I just logged in and wasn't asked for any code. Trying to figure out how to post a deal now.

 

So in my profile there are spots for groups and friends...will this be a social forum as well?

 

Very cool! I registered and performed a search for "minikin" (just to test the search function. Yielded 0 results, lol) and clicked on some of the categories. Got me 100 points for logging in today, too!

Will this be all new gear or will there be a section for preloved gear and "looking for" like we have here?

So, for the search engine we will be able to type in a product and get results from multiple stores (like vapecrawler does)? That will be awesome if so. Lots of options! I'm excited!!

 

Love the idea - and I can see the site being an awesome resource

Only thing from me would be sub-categories - box mods --> tc --> squonkers etc

 

I agree this site could be a valuable resource but it needs subcategories. As it is now you have to slog through a list of items that have nothing to do with the category or very little.
The price division could be more user friendly. Like 0-10, 0-20, 0-30 etc. I don't want to miss a sale because I put the wrong parameters into the search.

It didn't even make me register or sign in. Maybe because I was signed in here.

 

So I posted a deal and site said it was posted but can't find it in the categories. Will check back later, maybe it takes a while to show up.
