All I simply meant is, yes, while I'm a supplier and yes I like to provide, I would really just watch what is going on, not everyone is having supply issues, and I almost think in a way a group mob frenzy has been going on due to the FDA scares.

I know many suppliers that have had issues, but also many who have not. Your money is your money and feel free to spend it! I just don't want people to think I'm saying "come buy my liquid before everything is gone, the end is nigh.. etc etc etc."


Oh, that clarifies a lot.....yes I agree that suppliers should not sell using "scare" tactics.(unless there truly is a problem).

I apologize for misinterpreting your first post...........;)

Coming from a Supplier I can say the issue is complex.

As stated earlier, you have 4 issues:
1. Demand is up, we are all seeing this.
2. My suppliers overseas seem to be taking longer to process my orders (demand up again)
3. Our shipping methods into the USA have changed from 1 company to another.. slower company to help avoid customs issues..
4. Some packages either get delayed by customs or refused.. in turn adding 2x to the supply delay.

although supplier input is appreciated , can we please leave out the " come check us out at: " and the "come stock up with us" spamming please...


Sorry, that is taken care of and I won't post that type of info anymore, I'm new to the supplier side and sometimes "following what you see elsewhere" is not the right approach, and neither is ignorance so you won't see such in the future from me, other than on our own forum!

I'm not sure why suppliers came on here and promoted their products when that is clearly against forum rules. Those posts have been deleted.

Suppliers....check where you are posting!

Chinese can't produce the stuff fast enough for every supplier to get what they need.

that one is the simple answer... western demand is growing at a faster rate than the chinese factories can supply...

as i said earlier e cigs dont grow on chinese trees.. they can only make so many...

everyone stock piling just brings the problem forward..

Wish my factory here in the States could start making e-cigs, then maybe we would not be on the verge of shutting down :oops:

Of course the product has to be FDA approved, OSHA, union, etc. etc. etc. :evil:


oddly enough there are many factories in china shutting down.. the e cig ones are over loaded but the rest are having to slow down.. the west does have too many obstacles in the way of business.. too many overheads and costs plus legal issues and the point about small packages getting thru and large ones hitting problems is valid..

we have 600 atomizers arriving this week.. enough to keep us going for a while but its taken six week to get them.. its all very unpredictable..

we are lucky because our needs are modest but larger suppliers have my sympathies..
