Hello all, I'm not necessarily "new" to vaping, just haven't been doing it for awhile. So my deal is, I picked a mistic kit from Wally mart awhile back and I realized how inferior they are. So I somewhat frankensteined a system to run a smoketech dct carto with tank. Works ok. Now on to the issue. I ordered a cherry bomb kit from hotvapes.com and I'm a bit nervous. I don't order much from the net.
Anyone do business with hotvapes.com lately?

I haven't ordered anything from hotvapes in particular, but ALL the stuff that I've purchased when it comes to vaping has been online. I personally wouldn't waste the time or the money on the overpriced cheap equipment that you would get at wally world or any other brick and mortar retailer. Vapingzone.com is the site that I've been the most pleased with, but my coworker orders his stuff from MadVapes.com.

Everything I have ordered online over the time has come out fine, maybe a hickup in posting out for "next day delivery" but hey we are all human after all!.

As for brick and mortar shops, well I am sure If you find one that sells things as a e-cig enthusiast then whats the problem?. Unfortunately the only "e-cig" shops I know in the UK are Totally Wicked shops (not that they are bad or anything) but it would be nice to have a bit of verity if that makes sense.

You should be fine anyways m8! And wish you all the best in your ecig journey!

Thanks guys. Just a little nervous. I guess excited would be a good alternative to that. I have ordered from High Desert Ecigs which is awesome about delivery. So I'm comparing to them.

Either way I'm sure your right. It will be all good :)

Sure you will be rocking and rolling before you know it! ;)

I've done some business with hotvapes and they are good people!! I have been curious about the cherry bomb, it sounds like a great product, I hope you enjoy it!! I'm sure it will be tons better than your mystic ecig!! Next time you order from hotvapes try helen's chocolate slurry juice! Or if you like cherry they have in my opinion the best cherry - cherry sucka!!

Here is my take on HotVapes... I ordered a Bombshell from them 2 years ago and had problems with the button sticking. I was told by the owner, Mike I think, that the manufacturer had a bad run of switches and to turn it counterclockwise and it would not stick. Well I really didn't like that e-mail so I called him on the phone 2 weeks later and told him my concerns and he told me that he had a new batch of top caps, top part with switch, and he would mail me out another blue one and not to send back the defective one. Sure enuff it came in the mail 9 days later and worked flawlessly. I do believe they are on the up and up and I even considered buying wholesale from him in hopes to open a brick and mortar shop in my town, which didn't happen 'cuz of my end. But Mike IS good people and we actually spoke on the phone 3 or 4 times... a dyeing art for some internet companies of late. As far as buying a Cherry Bomb, a 14500 Mod, I would personally recommend a 18650 mod and utilize the extended run time and much better vape quality. I wouldn't have worries dealing with his site, they make it right! IMO, if the 14500 cherry bomb gets old, I would jump over their next model the Bombshell and go to Buy Electronic Cigarettes Online - USA Electronic Cigarettes, E Cigarette Kits, Cartridges, eLiquid <meta name="google-site-verification" content="SSgkbLlwlWuvKWeOXbuDTrw3Oy29md2PvsfFoD7uluQ" /> and buy a 18650 LEGACY because it has a mechanical switch (no wires) and is made from much better materials and IMO looks sweet. I bought my first mod from them (puresmoker) 3 years ago and Steve and Casey were the first US manufacturers of any big battery mod in the US. Good luck on your journey and you wont go wrong with the BOMBSHELL OR LEGACY! PS... 1.5 Ohm Dual cartos in a tank would preform excellent on either the Bombshell or Legacy!!! Take care!

HotVapes has provided me with above average customer service, I own the Cherry Bomb as well as the Bombshell. Happy Vaping :)

I wouldn't worry much about ordering online. A lot of e-cig vendor sites look like ...., but they have great products and customer service.

I order a lot of stuff online (even groceries, have them delivered) and have only run into a handful of issues. This is after literally thousands of transactions. About the only things I go to the store for are beer and toiletries. :laugh:

I bought my first mod from them.. The bombshell.. They are awesome.

You have nothing to worry about. They are working on a new prototype mod too. Bigger then the bombshell :)
