Next time you order...think MORE! ;)

if only it were that easy. It's about funds.
To order in large quantities I have to tie up a lot of funds for a relatively long time, as you all know I really don't make too much. There are a ton of expenses to run this beast, and I try to funnel all of it back into more products but when you carry so many Go-go items, it's hard. I had 50 kits Sunday, I have 5 now. I had 400 packs of black cartos delivered last week and I am now out. 400 would have lasted me three months just a short time ago, so adjusting is HARD. I am glad this business is growing so quickly I just hope it doesn't bite me in the .....

These other items I am buying are small runs so the investment isn't much but it all adds up.
I am trying believe me. I also have run into a wall with vendors not responding (assuming they are all leaving early for holiday) and some not shipping before they leave when they previously said they would.

Dealing with the Chinese is a headache on so many levels....

What keeps me going is all of you :)

Hopefully soon I'll get a handle on all the stocking and trying to predict whats going to happen but there is NO way I could have predicted this much growth! Wow...

Well, I ordered some silver cartos a while back and apparently they got sent back to you for insufficient address? Weird, since I've ordered quite a few times before.

Anyway... please don't send those cartos to someone else!!! I needs them!

I do not know you by your handle to match up the order but I did just get one back and I just stuck it in a new envelope and resent priority. I didn't open it, just checked the address, corrected it and resent it out.

and just so you know, I would never do that :)

If having too much business is your main problem, then you got it made, kid. :)

We know you're doing your best and you're doing it very well. A growing company is extremely difficult to balance. I know it's a lot of fun getting in new items but it also may make you grow faster than your current operation and funding can handle. I used to own a manufacturing company and my strength was in new product design, so I know of what I say. ;)

Oh yea, it's a LOT of fun. I don't buy much but everything I carry seems to be a hit, I guess it pays to be picky :)
Like Cleo said once, try not to buy things just to have the latest and greatest. I investigate this stuff and ask for samples, if it's good, I buy.. so far so good.


My only real worry is disappointing people who are looking for stuff, like the Go-go cartos, I'm going to be out soon :( and they are all on vacation over there...

Yeah, that is a bummer. Who'd a thought? The premier gogo vendor would run out of gogo cartos just before Chinese New Years. Put that in your memior's as a major.

I know. I was teasing because you said you were running out of things. I should have added a smiley :)

URGENT about the Smokymizers that some have purchased from me


DiscountVapers.com_Smokymizer_CE3_Box2__51614_zoom.jpg

It has come to my attention (Thank you Nate) that some of the Smokymizers that have been purchased could potentially be faulty. A report from a Nate came in about the Smokymizers not performing properly with eGo batteries, in some cases ruining the battery itself!! :blink:

The silicone washer inside might be broken and cause contact with positive and negative potentially causing a short and causing havoc with your eGo battery.

It is advised NOT to use these, or at the very least use them with caution. I have not personally experienced this problem, but the potential is there and I trust Nate 1000%

If you have any doubts, please stop using them and send them back for a full credit. When they work, they really are a great product but after this report I will no longer be carrying this item.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I am truly sorry about this. The manufacturer is going to be hearing a lot about this I assure you.




This just figures.. didn't I just post that everything I purchhased worked out? Yea, karma bitting me in the ....... :blink:

Wow... I got some from 'somewhere else' a little over a month ago and I killed 3 ego batteries with them. First one cause I thought the battery was old, second one I KNEW it had to be the CE... and of course I had to try a fresh one on another battery :( I tossed the rest, but never heard anything about those so I though I just had a bummer pack.

Scary to think this is not an isolated occurance!! Thank you for letting people know, instead of brushing it under the carpet!

what burns me the most? The manufacturer HAD to know this was going on...

Unbelievable that they would continue to sell them.

Yep, and I shiver to think I might have killed my beloved Kgos with them. I'll use an adapter and slap those puppies on my gogo...

It also could be that the ego batts use a regulated chip in them that is getting blown out by the cartos. I got some ego 1100s from penny smokes on a fire sale deal and I notice that the batterey starts to do weird things and won't work properly with the crystal clear vaping dual coils and the resurrectors and the gogo dual coils. If I put on a boge 2.0 ohm carto the battery works fine. I'd check this avenue out more thoroughly before I start a war with the Chinese vendors. Egos are known to be finicky about the cartos they accept. Try the cartos on different batts (Even rivas) and see if you get the same results. I'll bet it's the ego batts, eric.
