Crazy deal alert: eightvape has Freemax fireluke ntx2 coils for 99¢ for a 5 pack. That’s insane for these incredible coils. They last forever and taste great plus they are 0.5 ohms which is dead center of my wheelhouse. 35 watts and perfect warm flavorful clouds. The also have the fireluke 2 tanks for $8.99 so I got two of them and 100 coils for under $40 bucks. Oh and Xmas12 gives an additional 12% off. But I made a mistake because you can get the Twister kit that has that tank on top plus the twister mod for $9.99 which would have made more sense but alas I ordered before seeing that. Anyway at these prices I might not have to build a coils and wick it the rest of my life even if every piece of vape gear is outlawed. I feel like it’s a mistake because how can they sell these pretty new coils for so cheap. Well go out and spend some cash on a ton of great gear.
I kind of got the impression that they may be offloading all their inventory I almost didn't make my purchase because I was so paranoid about the prices. I got a whole bunch of stuff for like 40 bucks including a mod two of these gemm things that I absolutely love I was just going to get the replaceable disposable tanks but they actually cost more than the whole kit. Now what I'm wondering about is if I'm going to get a message saying that they're out of stock on everything I purchased but it does seem like the site was actually done in a way that it registered how much had been bought even before they did inventory. I also got some vaporesso coils for 99 cents and two things of Jam monster. Which I've got to find a good dupe for because I'm in love with that stuff. I would have gotten a lot more including their buy one get one free magma but I've been seeing a lot of really screwed up reviews lately like and not just your normal it's taking forever stuff but like I got the wrong thing and they are not doing stuff about it.

High volume stores can sell cheaper because they make up for per item loss in the sheer volume they sell.

However, eightvape seems to be doing a lot of close out selling lately, and I've noticed they aren't adding any new RTA stock, for instance, and in general aren't doing a lot of new items.. they are doing some, but not as much as they used to.

So I'm wondering if they aren't buying out stores that are going out of business and other such things, and then turning around and selling cheap during these sales, in hopes you'll buy other things they can make a profit from..

As a whole though, it's looking like when May 2020 hits they have no intention of holding any stock..

That sounds about right I didn't even think about that but I noticed the same thing with the rta's and the newer stock they just don't have much unless it's a banger seller like the Aegis line. I bet you hit the nail on the head about them buying out the stock of closing stores.

Thanks. I had a cart started at 8vape and grabbed a couple of those tanks and coils. I have and liked the first version of that tank. I also grabbed some Nords, cartridges, and coils for my son - saw him yesterday and that’s what he’s using. He buys at his local shop, and I didn’t ask how much they charge.

I got a couple Flow pods too for $.99 each. For that money, everyone who is pod curious ought to try them. I’m kicking myself for not buying every last one they had.

Yea I’m a little concerned just because if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Having said that I’ve placed orders with them for the past six years and have no complaints. They once sent me the wrong thing (several years ago) and let me keep it and sent what I did order promptly so I’m giving them the benefit of doubt. I fully expect to wait for awhile because even on their site it says shipping will be slow and I’m fine with that. But ya I don’t get it, at those
prices how can that be?!? The cheapest I’ve ever seen these TX coils is $10 a five pack. So where are all these super cheap coils coming from? Hell some places are charging $18 for a five pack. I’m just gonna keep an eye on it and hope all ends well. They’ve always treated me right so I trust they will honor their prices.
Edit: I just read the comment above saying maybe they are buying out closing stores. That makes sense and could explain how and why they are selling these for cheap. I thought maybe they were closing because I noticed the lack of new stock on some stuff also.

I've only made a couple purchases from them but I never had an issue. But I've also never seen the kind of reviews that I've been seeing in the amount that I've been seeing. If I have to wait Chinese shipper times for my product I'm okay with that not thrilled obviously but okay as long as I get my products and they work :)

Yeah, I'm thinking it's all coming out of Massachusetts right now..

I remember one business owner there who said the second his doors were closed he had offers for his stock coming in, and what they were offering wasn't near what he had invested in his inventory..

He said the offers were so low he would rather give it all away and file bankruptcy than take what he was being offered..

however I'm sure some owners are just taking whatever they can get, no matter how low, and chalking it up as a loss..

And that is my bet on what we are seeing from EightVape lately.

There really should be an emoji that you can pick that is a :-( because that's what I would like to use as a rating for this post. Because it's sad but I think you're right

I bought a couple of these tanks too but opted for the .15 coils. One box for .99 and I bought 4 boxes. Good deal and thanks to whoever posted it :)

The vape tax in Nevada is about to go into effect. I believe all the shops are going to have to pay 30% wholesale tax on all unsold inventory. A lot of wholesalers are moving out of state now, and online retailers will probably soon after. 8vape is a pretty big company, so they likely have a lot of inventory. It is probably better for them to liquidate it than rry to have to come up with a huge lump sum for taxes in order to stay in business. I predict a lot on Nevada businesses will be closing soon. All these new regulations and taxes have done is kill the American businesses, and made a better market for the Chinese companies.

I'm sorry to see that tax force most all the B&M and web sellers out of business or the state. Relocating is no small thing and unlikely for most, particularly with the impending regulations around the corner.

Eightvape may end up making out better as a result of shrinking that inventory now. The stocking up fever is high and interest in remaining inventories closer to the deadline may drop off as those in the know are already overloaded. Starting with the Jackaroo party a couple months ago they have fed the craving regularly and credit cards may max out!

I'm really enjoying the Tripod. Don't know what extension kit means...? I got some bubble tanks from these people
3PCS Atmizoo Tripod rta 22mm tank Bubble Glass Tube Fatboy Replacement [FT090x3]$7.99
It gives real good flavor. Only "problem" really is the drip tip. Its way to short, unless one has chicken lips :p. It does build up some condensation now and again, and deposit it unexpectedly :cry:
You can use a bigger bore tip but it needs bigger o rings. I'll work on that later. For now i'm content and happy with it :thumbs:
Thanks for the bubble glass link. This is the extension kit for the clone.

It's sad. Las Vegas had such a thriving vape community and one by one shops are closing down. It has been a large industry here for a long time but thanks to the State government's greed it will probably be greatly reduced. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with the tax as well.They won't be getting any tax revenue when nobody is buying, or is ordering from overseas. You can't tax businesses that don't exist...

I know eightvape does drop shipping for other online vaping vendors, this makes me think that they have a larger stock normally than is listed. With all the businesses being shut down, maybe they are liquidating excess inventory that is stored to supply those vendors. Even then, I think they must be getting ready to go out of business themselves, or at least preparing for it.

Any smart US vendor will be getting rid of whatever they can as soon as they can. May is very close.

The larger vendors are already relocating to more favorable (at the moment) states. Breazy was based in NYC, but moved fulfillment to Las Vegas some time ago. Their home office is now in Delaware and they closed their offices in NY. MVS relocated juice fulfillment to CT when it appeared NY was coming down on flavors, but kept hardware fulfillment in NY as that didn't seem in danger.

I think a company as large as Eightvape may relocate as well if the tax burden is too painful. However, if they have a lot of back stock, especially drop shipping for other vendors, they may sell off a good amount of inventory that's not been moving well, as it may be better than the cost of relocating that stock to another warehouse.

All of this is conjecture as there's no way to know what folks have in mind. It is clear that larger vendors have markedly expanded into the CBD business. They can still theoretically sell hardware for CBD liquids, while dropping nic juices as necessary.

It's one of the grey areas they may exploit for a little while to see if the FDA will come after them for it. They simply present all the vape gear as for CBD, not nicotine use. We could then buy CBD "hardware" and repurpose it as we wish. Yes, it's a loophole bound to be closed, but if the FDA doesn't rush right in to regulate, they can generate revenue that way for at least a while as everything else shakes out.

    thanks Angz.
    it's got all the stuff ya'll said i'd need + a couple extra basic, and includes the long handled-drivers @Opinionated mentioned.
    not even the cheapest with these items, found also
    https://www.fasttech.com/product/9680462
    https://www.fasttech.com/product/9662124

    the first has those big ceramic tweezers i didn't understand the point of until @DeloresRose mentioned holding the tank. maybe i should go for it instead. it actually has positive reviews (except the spanish one says it looks less than the picture). they all even have a brush.

    these are the Vandyvape ones, the second is the one you said is good, but i would then have to get the curved tweezers separately
    https://www.fasttech.com/product/8716900
    https://www.fasttech.com/product/9666247

    I'd still go for this one:
    https://www.fasttech.com/products/9694054
    it just looks a more solid kit and it has full sized fat screwdrivers, plus a decent case :thumb:

    The mechlyfe rba is vinci compatible. Looks like the easiest one to build, tiny little things they are. Also have a 510 adapter for the vinci coming.

    About the Zenith pro, it's pretty good with the 1.0 coil. Still some restriction but definitely dl with 2 holes and cyclops open. Haven't put the 0.8 in yet. Flavor isn't rta flavor but okay for a tank. Only significant con is it can come apart too easily on the mod, beauty ring is just an unnecessary aggravation imo. All in all for me good enough for the stash and buying a few boxes of coils.
    For some reason I thought the clunky beauty ring held it together since it screws on (from something in PB’s video preview) so I left it. But I hate how it sticks out.
    Where did you get the vinci rba and 510 connector? I really ordered it on a whim based on @bigbob2322 ’s review
