Think about this before you save a few bucks. (Soap box rant)

In my quest for a mod I noticed something. Lots and lot of vapors are buying overseas to save a few bucks. I did the math and weighed the pros and cons. I'm a bit OCD when spend my money. I look and look and research and study before I make a decision. The conclusion I came to was buying overseas is not worth the cons. Sure you save a few bucks but what your giving up is well worth the few bucks your saving. Before you send your money to china you should think about what your saving and what your loosing. Your loosing customer service. I know many people have had good luck with fasttech but. If there is a problem there is no way you get the service you get from a well respected American vendor. Your loosing time. My time is worth money. When I order something I pay attention to the emails, tracking and arrival of my purchase. I wait and stalk the mailman. When the package is in hand I stop paying attention and worrying about the process. It's a difference of 1-2 weeks in shipping overseas or from an American vendor.
If these things don't bother you one way or the other you still have one more thing to consider, where your money is going. I work hard for my money and I get to decide who spends my money next. I worked hard in this country because other Americans worked hard before me. I want another hard working American to spend my money next. I want to support the men and women who fight for this country with my tax dollars. I want a hard working American business owner to use my money to feed his family and pay his bills. All in return for his great customer service and fast shipping. If that's not worth $20-$30 I don't know what is. Spend your money on America not on wonton soup and egg rolls(unless it's take out). Times are tight in America these days, please think about it.

You had me until you started talking about wars. I don't want one plug nickel of my money going towards unconstitutional warmongering and the minding of other sovereign nations' affairs that have not attacked us, nor pose any immediate threat. To do so is shutting our eyes while we become what we all used to abhor.

Must agree with you. My udder impatience is the reason why I will never order from over-seas.

But I also understand the 'customer service' aspect of it that you want.

I don't have time to sit on the phone for hours on end, or wait 2 weeks for an email to be sent back from China.

I can barely wait the 2-3 days it takes for most places to ship out!

Right now I'm waiting on a shipment from the classified with Evic & 2 RBA's since Wed of last week - shipping finally updated today and said will be expected on Tuesday. UGH! Waiting is by far the worst part of this hobby lol.

Support you a hundred percent on this.........okay, maybe 80 percent.............60? With mods it may work, but your choices would be severely limited. Juice, you can have that one, as anything 'fresh' would be made here; not sure where the juice makers get their raw materials though. Devices, you're practically SOL on that one!

I'd readily go for that one, but it seems that new vapers seeking looky-likeys would be left out in the cold. All that is left is a few hardcore vapers paying large prices for custom mods from a few vendors, vaping nothing but mesh wicks.

If American vapers want American products, PICK UP THE BALL!
