You know what really grinds my gears!?!?! Vendor BandWagoners!!! That's right, vaping has bandwagoners too. how's that you ask? simple, the people that sing the praises to vendors on the hill top for all the world to hear and when their favorite carto is outta stock... BAM open a thread about how much they suck, they suddenly hate everything about "said vendor". let the bashing commence. Ill never understand it. however I do understand the complications of not having anything to vape on because supply is low and you need your vapes; but here's the issue, if your favorite carto out outta stock, maybe try a new one... who know, maybe if you step out of your comfort zone for once in your life you might find a new favorite, but instead of trying new things you bash your once favorite vendor. Why? because its easier than stepping outside the bounds of megas and 1.5o DCs. How can you say you are or WERE a loyal customer when all you do is make idle threats about going somewhere else for your stuff? that's like saying you are a diehard Patriots fan and once they get beat by the Jets you hate the Patriots and start to wear Jets gear! it makes no sense!!!! Patience is a virtue folks, and good things come to those who wait. Just remember this: At some point your new favorite vendor will, and I mean WILL be outta stock of your favorite thing, you cant keep running to another vendor, you'll eventually run out of people to buy from... if that happens, look on the bright side, 7-eleven will never run out of analogs. Im sure some will be ...... I even said all this, but that's what im here for... maybe, but oh well!

Its just how people are. Kind of like the person at the gas station tapping their foot and sighing cause they have to wait in line. Then they give the cashier the dirty look for the having to wait.
I guess people forget sometimes the world dose not revolve around them they quickly forget the vendor ships fast, is consistent in filling orders correctly. They don't look at them selves for allowing their stalk get low enough to run out. We live in a me me me society compassion and understanding is not something we strive for.

it's my belief that you are maybe talking about 10% of all vapers with this statement as most of us tend to have a favorite supplier and we've all experienced the dreaded out of stock message

as far as cartos i didn't think many people even used those anymore? maybe in the dcts I guess

This, and this some more. Convenience, and instant gratification. People have forgotten that they NEED to put EFFORT into things, even if it doesn't immediately make them happy, or gratified. That includes patience and consideration. I learned this the hard way, having been a product of said culture and society.

All that aside, my stalk got too low one time. It ducked under the garden fence and ran out! :)

Hey, vendors are one link is a long supply/delivery chain. Maybe a vendor doesn't do such a good job predicting demand and planning stock accordingly, but maybe the manufacturer(s) the vendor relies on didn't either, or maybe delivery of an order was delayed for any number of reasons. This happens. All the time. In every kind of retail business.

I assume responsibility for making sure I have the supplies I need. If my supply gets so low that it becomes a crisis, only to discover that my vendor is out of what I need, I don't blame the vendor, I blame myself for not planning sufficiently ahead.

OTOH, if my favorite vendor is constantly out of stock, then I'll probably start looking for alternative vendors. Hasn't happened yet.

7-eleven did ran out of my analog brand! not just them, they discontinued 2 times my ADS (all day smoke) That's life and we have to deal with it. the vendor bashing won't help you get your stuff any faster

This is what really grinds my gears...

... folk that have NO concept of paragraphs, writers cogent thoughts (intro/body/conclusion) and, most importantly of all for public comprehension, readers reading 'comfort'!

Other than that... just 'nother rant...

Did someone mention derail...?
