If you ever wanted a Super-T mod, now is the time. Selection is pretty sparse. So, if something tickles your fancy, buy it now before it's too late. Guess I waited too long to order a brass body for my Workhorse. :(

Technically, not going out of business, just discontinuing the manufacturing of ecig products. Unfortunately, we've just found with the current climate and influx of Chinese clones and the high cost of US Manufacturing, it just isn't viable anymore. The products you see on the site are currently up to 50% off and once they are gone, they are gone, so if you've been wanting that something special, wanted to stock up or just wanted to grab a piece of Ecig history so to speak, now is your chance!
I can't tell you how honored we are to have been part of Ecig history and a part of the ECF community. We have truly met some great people on here that we are proud to call our friends. Super-T Manufacturing Inc was founded in early 2009 to provide quality alternatives to the cheap Chinese products out at the time and most importantly, keep my mom off cigarettes! I must say, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED as she is still smoke free over 5 years later! Congrats Mom!

Since we'll still be in business in another industry, we'll still honor the warranty too.

We'll be getting some more springs, oring kits, contacts, compression bands, and some various other parts up on the site too later this week or next week. Just a note that we are not able to add to existing orders (so if you place one and decide you want other parts too, you'll have to place another order as the system will not allow us to add onto existing orders). We also will not be able to combine orders or save parts. It's first come, first serve. If you don't see it, it still may be coming as we just don't have it up on the site yet, so please be patient, there's only two of us here, so I won't have a lot of time for emails unfortunately. Please allow extra time for delivery.

Visit www.supertmanufacturing.com to see our deals!

Thank you for all the great years!

This is the only way that I could be sad about getting great deals on Super T mods.

I have spent waaay to much

Another ELA with all the brass goodies and locking tubes
14500 precise
Industrious RBA
2 more Stratas
Talked myself out of a 18350 Workhorse

I am ...... that now I will never have a 14 series Precise Plus

I have slowed down now, but for the first coupla years that I vaped, I spent quite a bit - too much really (between $500 to $1500 a month).
Now, I flipped the vast majority, so I really only spent a few hundred a month.
Of all the mods that I have bought - Super T has been the only mods that I kept. Every single one.
I wish that he would put out a hybrid genesis.

Edit: Oops, wrong thread, still relevant though.


The reasons I bought my first mech are still valid today, so I don't see them disappearing completely.

1. Simple, no electronics to fail
2. Simple, easily cleaned/maintained
3. They look great.

It does make me sad that Super T is ending their production. Always wanted one of theirs, just never could fit it into my budget.

always wondered why they diddn't make a 14650 extension piece for the 14500 Simplicity cause i sure wanted one.....last time i looked there was one 14500 Simplicity left.

A 14500 Simplicity is rocking my Picilusci 14mm genesis right now.
A very elegant setup, and rare as well.
Super T was unmatched it quality of build, and attention to fit and finish.
The closest mod to it that I have seen or bought are the GP products.

Just got a new top insulator and positive Pin for my workhorse! ( I buggered mine up, nothing at fault with the device).
SuperT is till on point with support for customers.
Sad to see one of the only well run businesses in the vape scene disappear.
Very professional.

This is what supporting clones does. Think about that when thinking about prices. In the end Super T's lower prices didn't prove a viable business model.

Lol
The only SuperT product that was cloned was the ELA and the clone is horrible.
Not one Potential ELA customer bought a clone. Mercedes buyers don't drive Kias.

Sales slowed down, and SuperT is a real machine shop with other work.

SuperT has almost sold every single piece of inventory they have, including parts and accessories.
There isn't a ton of profit in making mechanicals, and SuperT has to focus on other work to keep employees fed and the business running.
This industry isn't for everyone. They had a great run and remain one of the most professional manufacturers to ever enter the vape scene.

Every Modder should strive to reach their level of customer service.

I wanted a Super T. Then I ordered one. A week after my card has been charged, no shipping, no word from the manufacturer. After two emails I come to their ecf forum kinda ......, since the only thing their website said was "pleas allow extra time for shipping." I get told that's how it is, you have to wait. F that. Waiting on my refund right now.

It could be made of pure gold and I'm not willing to wait several weeks while they're sitting on my money because they don't have the inventory they're selling made. How come Provari never runs out of stock?

The non-viable business model is not having stock to sell.

Some of the products were slow to deliver (cue the Shockwave and the V1 ELA).
I waiting 6 weeks for mine.
I never, ever, had to wait more than 36 hours for an answer from them, either by email of via the forum.
Heck, he even emailed me about a youtube comment once.

I have three Provari 2.5's and on average it took 8 - 10 days to get them. Just as most if my Super T products did.
Also, Provari serves a completely different type of market. Super T is about the flawless precison of the work, not market driven streamlining. Two very different products.

Super T did link clones to the discontinuation of their products, but in the sense that the market for high end products had declined, nit in that competed directly with them.

He also said, as you mentioned, that he had the other aspect of business to attend to, and I am sure that it dwarfs anything he did with mods
