The best suppliers?

[Dharma]

Hey Vets,

I am looking for other cheap, fast and reliable suppliers. I know about madvapes, valuevapor and electronicnicstix. I've noticed a lot of e cig suppliers overcharge and don't have a lot of accessories in stock. Also, madvapes sent me a leaky mod and just ignored my issues with it. I got 3 different kinds of attys from valuevapor and 2 didn't work or quickly burned out

Who else has Good attys and carto prices?
batteries for mods and stuff?
Good overall suppliers as far as price, selection and speed go?

Thank you!

As another ECF veteran once said:

There's an old saying that I stole and used in my sign business when people would ask me about pricing, quality and speed of delivery:

1. you can have fast.
2. You can have cheap.
3. You can have quality.

Pick any two.

If you want (1)fast and (2)cheap, (3)quality ain't gonna be as good.

If you want (2)cheap and (3)quality, it ain't gonna be fast.

If you want (1)fast and (3)quality, it ain't gonna be cheap.

I've found this works in just about any situation, including buying e-liquids...

That said, all ECF approved vendors are good and reliable. I've done business with many of them and never encountered a problem; my orders are shipped quickly, warranties are honored, and replacements/exchanges are handled promptly and politely. If a problem arises, just a simple email to the vendor is usually all that's needed.

When buying batteries and atomizers, look for vendors who offer extended warranties (not just DOA), like Cignot, Liberty Flights, Vapors Etc., Janty and SmokeStik.

I have also bought hardware from Vapor Junction, Good Prophets, LiteCig, Vapor Kings, MadVapes, Smokeless Image, Wordupecig and V4L. All great vendors.

What Katya said! [Although I've never fully agreed with Elwin's statement. High price is no guarantee of quality and low price does not necessarily mean shoddy or poor customer service.]

My own list of examples overlaps Katya's. I would put LiteCigUSA and MadVapes at the head of the list – for price ... but they don't necessarily carry the particular item in which I'm interested at the time. Or another supplier may have a lower price on certain products, e.g., you want an adapter, go to Good Prophets ... you want the lowest-priced (good quality) fat batt, go to Liberty-Flights ... you want EastMall 801 attys or cartos, go to Vapor Junction.

Many suppliers specialize. For example: BreezEsmokes is a great source for higher-mAh fat batts; Jazz CartoPipe sells two of the best low cost mods (plus the great cartopipe); only Happy Vaper sells the wonderful new Ego Booster, etc.

And, of course, e-liquid is another ballgame entirely. [The Katya principle still applies: Stick with ECF registered suppliers.]
