New to Vaping, Initial Thoughts on Vendors

[gaborger]

So I am new to the whole e-cig, vaping thing. I have been a smoker for many years and when on a business trip, I met a client who was vaping at his desk. I was intrigued and started learning more about it. I ordered the Tornado from Totally Wicked e-liquid, and was very happy with it. It is based off the popular eGo e-cig. So far my vaping increased and stopped smoking in a week. I haven't had nor crave a cigarette.

Since then I have been seeking good sites to order from. I ordered more parts and juice from Totally Wicked, Clouds of Vapor, and Vapor Bomb. Shipping and customer service from some of these vendors has been great. When looking at another vendor, I found that they were local to Charlotte, NC. Mapvapes.com. I was running out of parts, so I went to their offices and met Mark, the owner. I got to check out their operations, check out available hardware, and was very pleased with the service. Since they are local, even if I don't feel like driving over there, the shipping is fair and I will get my order the next day. This is great and I hope that other Vaper fans try to search out and support their local vendors.

Anyway, I am stocked up with supplies, and am a proud customer of MadVapes.com. Since they stock tons of parts, including circuit boards, batteries, connectors, etc, they are a great resource for the DIY crowd.

Props to madvapes.com, you have made my vaping experience much better.

You are so lucky! Wish I had a vendor close to my house.

Nothing against other vendors as I've had 100% positive experiences with every one I've patronized but MadVapes has just about everything a vaper would want. Lots of people rave about specialized juice vendors but I've yet to find anything anywhere that can hold a candle to TopVapor Fried Apple.

Mark has an excellent mix of products, ships quickly, outstanding customer service and is pretty much my one-stop-shop.

Just wish I was close enough to actually "stop" in and look behind the curtain.

Most of us aren't lucky enough to have a local vendor that carries everything you'd need, consider yourself lucky. Madvapes does have such a wide array of products, and I've thought about ordering some of their mod kits and parts. I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

I could not even imagine having a local vendor. Talk about impulse buying.

LOL. I suppose what saves me from impulse shopping is the fact that they are on the other side of town. So far I have opted to pay the $2.99 shipping cost twice to avoid driving up there. I need to get better organized with my supplies, but my wife and I are still newbs and we are still testing various configurations.
