After this, I'll probably be banned from ordering from them! LOL I was talking about the regular CE2's, revision 5 has been out for quite awhile with the fat wicks and they sent revision 4's with the loop wick. I've heard of them doing this to eliminate their old stock months ago but this is crazy! If I hadn't cut a few for mods, I would have never known.

I tried sending him an email when I wasn't getting a resonce from anyone over there, even he didn't answer. It took one month and many emails before they responded, then another month to ge my order shipped. This was just recently. I'm just glad to see others are making CE2's now, maybe that will take some of the burden off of them.

Do you have sources for the new CE2's from other suppliers? Has anyone tried out Bauways and tested them for comparison?

We've been carrying Royal Smokers for about 8 months - but have had such a problem with customer service, bad product, breakage, etc - I'm not crazy to continue with them. We've found dozens of new sources for the clearo's - but nothing yet for the CE2's.

Suggestions??

Not sure if trying to chase the fad of the day is the way to go... Remember Cisco atomizers, Boge cartomizers, drip tips and others...

The big boys like Blu are out selling their product targeted at millions rather than chasing the latest fad from a handful of vapor geeks.

Even worse when these products are played up so much online that they can never live up to their expectation.. See eGO-T and possibly the CE2

It is when vaper geeks are your customer base. If you stop doing that, you're in a whole new marketing game.

Is that a good or bad thing?

I find the vapor geeks are always looking for something new, if you have 99% of the products on the market, they will still leave you to get that one thing. Also they are the first to jump ship to the basement retailer selling for $1 over cost... They are out googling and searching for every other shop hours a day it seems.

I worry, and have found carrying too much stuff actually is scaring away the guy who just wants something that works, and is going to continue to buy a 3 bottles of juice and 2 atomizers every month, while he tells all his friends for new business. The content customer..

As your volume is greater than mine, and the number of products you carry is lower..........

Bad company stole from me, beware guys.

You get what you pay for... Your next problem is when you get shipped a load of junk, which you find out about after you've sold a ton of kits.

Your margin is next to nothing, so you will be paying out of your pocket for people to vape. And even when you do sell kits, you aren't going to make more than you would working at McD's.

Sorry for the harshness and welcome to the suppliers forums ;)

Of course you are welcome to show me ;)

Haha I can tell you how many times I answered the phone, what? a phone where you can actually speak to someone? I can also tell you how many advocates I've built and how many people have thanked me because they can buy all the basic items they need at a reasonable price. Sure a little flash and few few lost leaders. That is what happens when an organized professional with a background in business enters a market jammed with your likes, in search of no glorious profits, at all, what so ever. For as long as I have been on here it's been quite easy to tell I haven't focused on making friends. Funny how I ended up with so many. I've already shown you, you just haven't realized it yet ;) Enjoy your Christmas sales this year boys cause I've just bled a whole bunch of cash in a fair fashion out of your pockets while helping your customers(mine?) save money and probably provided superior customer service.

Funny story had you noticed the hundreds of dollars I spent at your store and had some sort of process in place to see where I went when I quit ordering.... oh but you didn't. So here I am. I'd tell you to pull up your socks but I don't even think there on your feet. Don't worry the 5 piece atty system is on it's way to save you.

I could keep going but I won't. Thanks for the warm welcome, friend.

Either you're drunk or I'm too sober. That's about how much sense that just made.

Naw we Canadians are nasty LOL

But if you can dish it, you certainly should be able to take it. I'm fine with that.

All I can say Mopar is you are taking it personal, trying to show me.. Often when you do that, you loose sight of what the real objective is.

Comes down to there are different markets out there. I'm not interested in the budget market, and don't see a future in at this time as there isn't the market to support the volume you'd require to make it profitable.

Uvapeit told me the same thing you just did.. Who us that?? LOL Exactly.

On reflection I am hurt that you don't feel I am a charitable guy, and I'm not doing my part to make friends and the world a better place. You don't know me... I have another site, where I am saving the world from overpriced office supplies. Damn you Office Depot!! Together WE can make a difference against overpricing of stationary.

VV eGo-T type A kite!
https://www.canvape.com/ProductDetai...ode=EGOVV900PT
Current price: $64.95
Opening sale price: $39.95!!

Oh my friend... ***shakes head*** In poker you never want to show your hand...

Anyone with a calculator can do $64.95 - $39.95 = $25.00.. So now if you ever decided to go to your "current price" rather than having it permanently crossed out as a tacky prop as if its a saving... All your customers know you are ripping them off $25.00 per kit.. Sell the 1,000 kits in a day they think you are moving and you are making $25,000 per day!! You greedy $^#^$^ LOL ;)

Think crappy tire... Would you EVER buy a tool from them at full price?
