Online VS Local

[Constans86]

Hey guys,

I know that this is going to piss off some people but..

I just thought that i'd raise the question of affordability. It does seem that in Cape Town at least, there is a monopoly when it comes to purchasing e-smoking supplies locally. I recently move to the UK but I still swear by ordering online..

I am paying in pounds, but I still see savings for you guys back home.

I do realise that many of you do order online.. but thought this was a worth while discussion..

I'm still mostly buying all my stuff from China, but the minimum order is $50 for hardware and $100 for liquid, plus $15 shipping. The local suppliers are getting more affordable, I've noticed the difference in the few months I've been vaping, but I guess some people are wary of buying online. I also noticed that to buy a Janty stick or Twisp stick as they are over here, I'd save less than R100 getting it direct from Janty and I haven't seen them for sale in China so for me I'd get that here, in fact that's next on my hardware shopping list. I like the fact that even my local pharmacy now has e-cigs, so in the unlikely event of all my devices failing at once and all my liquid going vrot I could drive up the road and get sorted, even if it costs me a bit.

What Gavin says

I'm also trying to get a local spar to stock liquids-tested liquids, ingredient disclosed liquids, and the owners said they'd been approached already but they seemed put out by the prices at the moment. These guys buy bulk...

At present, I only buy online, all the local shops are asking between R120 and R150 for 10 ml of juice. Online, I get it for R70. Buy 2 bottles, include postage of R95 with delivery within 24 hours, the local shops can't compete.

I ordered a passthrough for my 901 and 140ml of juice (on special for $50) from East Mall a couple of weeks ago. The package arrived on my doorstep exactly one week from ordering....worked out at roughly R30 per 10ml of liquid.

Can't fault that kind of service for postage of only $15. My next order will be online again...and most likely from East Mall.

They marked the goods as "gift of pens" - 12 units valued at $1.50 each so customs had no issue with it either
