Hey all,

Just wanted to say that I received my Nebula today and have been using it all day. This is a really nice ecig and I am glad I purchased one. I am still fairly new to vaping and only other unit I have is the Dura-C(510). I am definately going to use my Nebula as my "everywhere" choice because of the low maintanence and it performs just as good as my 510. The one thing I really like is that every drag gives you a nice throat hit and loads of vapor, it has not tailed off as of yet and it has been about 5 hours of use. I am getting the same amount of vapor as my 510 but just not as "thick" of a smoke. I think it might have to do with the liquid or the ability to drip with my 510. The "thickness" of the smoke isn't really a concern of mine as long as throat hit and taste is good. But just wanted to throw that out there for those who like the "thick" smoke:). This unit will definately satisfy event the pickiest user it really is a quality product and the server was great. I ordered on Monday and received it on Thursday. Once I finish the starter cart I will drip some of my own liquid into the cartomizer and see if there is a difference. I think I am just going to use my 510 to drip at home and take my Nebula everywhere with me :) Just wanted to share my experience with you all.

yep, greatest thing since sliced bread in the ecig world as far as my experience has gone so far!...no carts to restuff and the associated mess, you're not constantly stuck to your liquid bottles nearby because you no longer have to top off every 20-30 puffs as with other models. The only downside for me, personally, is the cost of the cartomizers...if they ever come down far enough though this would be my ONLY ecig, all day everyday.

I think the cost for a pack of 5 will settle at $9.99 eventually. The supplier cost is 10 percent of that price. When a supplier is just getting started they typically make prices high and then slowly lower them until they find their happy place. In this industry the typical mark up is X 5 on equipment and X 10 on consumables. The Larger franchise suppliers get away with X 20 because they come up first on search engines and because they also sell in malls at X 30 or more. It is suppliers like the ones who deal with customers directly on these forums that will eventually dominate the market because they are home based business and not getting as many confiscations, thus keeping their loss low.

rob - are you saying that the SELLERS cost is only 10% of that, or are you meaning the manufacturer cost is 10%?...i cant imagine supplier cost being so low as only $1 per pack (although i really dont know)...i was thinking maybe a suppliers cost would be at least $4 per pack plus shipping from China, no?

PS - there are already a few sellers out here charging $9.99 for them, so hopefully itll get even a bit lower!

Yes, those are the prices the suppliers pay, It's no secret. The thing you have to remember is how many they have to buy to get that price. When I considered opening a mall kiosk I got price lists from all the manufacturers in china.

If you goto alibaba you can see the prices and the minimum quantities required.

Most require 100 units. Some will do 50. There are some people who do group buys to save money. Then there are people like us who buy from fine suppliers like vapornine and pay a bit more for confirmed delivery, a warranty and personalized service.

Cartomizers are far more expensive than you might think... More than Hangar's estimates, even... Working on getting the price down a bit at which point I'll be able to pass along some savings.

My son confiscated my first Nebula I received so I ended up ordering a second one for myself. *had to be the good mom you know. Anyway both are working great and the service is top notch.

Side note: son hasn't touched a ciggy in 4 days now so I'm thinking that was the best gift I could have ever given him. :)

Glad to hear it's working nicely :)

I have a couple of other units, and I have to say that the Nebula is my go-to vaporizer. It performs beautifully, and I couldn't be more pleased.

Now, when the prices of the carts decrease, I will buy bulk, so Ben, please make sure you have enough for lil ole me, K?

I let a neighbor friend of mine try my Nebula today, and she loved it, and will be, or already has ordered one.

Looking forward to some savings on the Cartomizers. Right now I'm ordering 10 packs (50 cartomizers) for $99.99 with free shipping & no tax from another online vendor. I would be more than happy to order from Vapornine if you could match these prices.

Would also like to have low or no nico flavorless cartomizers that I could fill with E-Juice of my choice. Would like to see Grape, Pear & Cherry cartomizers added to your inventory.

Also when will you be getting in the Nebula Pass-through? Any idea of the cost?

I'm very happy with my Nebula and have already ordered two backup batteries from Vapornine.
All the Best,
Peaches
