Am I the only one that would like an online store that sold it all? Over a year into vaping, and I am growing weary of constantly filling in my details to so many vendors, and ordering a bottle here a atty there. My juice benchmarks are made up of variety of flavors from different vendors, and if im lucky enough that they have some of my order usually not the right attys i use etc etc. I am wasting $30 bucks a month at least on postage. I can not be the only one. Come on vendors please stock even if it is a small number all the current attys. There is a horrible bias forming towards the 510. :( I have lost count of the times a vendor did not get my order because of this.

I know what you mean.....just like it's such a pain that when I go to the dentist I can't buy my groceries there, I have to go to a grocery store.....and don't even get me started on why my bank doesn't sell gasoline.....

I'd have to say, as a newb it is a bit daunting to find all the places to get your stuff to build a stash.

V4L have juice hardware, and empty cartos, but no empty bottles, pipettes, syringes, extracts, doublers, flavorless high nic, etc (I can understand why, but I'm just saying as an example)

So you end up running around to a dozen places to get supplies.

No doubt a local store with a couple vendors like VaporNine, V4L, MFS, worth of stuff, plus all the other needed supplies, like PG, VG, EcoPure, Bottles, Pipettes, Nitrile Gloves, LorAnn, Capella, Fairies FInest, and on and on.

Wouldn't you just LOVE to browse such a store and talk with a knowledgable person?

Ahh to dream of the future, one without vapor nazis.....:evil:

While brain storming, I think one of the juice vendors should team up with the Coffee Syrup guys and pitch their wares to all the drive up and specialty coffee shacks.

Of course having a Vape Friendly Coffee Cafe, wifi, with ecig supplies, holiday special blends, is only dreaming, eh?

Flavor of the week, while you get your latte?

How about a Starbucks Mocha Frappacino. :D

There is a market, just needs to be tapped by someone fearless. :p

Of course I am still waiting for the first bar with the guts to say and advertise - VAPE FRIENDLY (of course they can also have some juices available to compliment cocktails, and other beverages) :toast:

To Dream.....

I notice they won't accept orders from the UK, I wonder why that is.

When one has a lot of stock to give away they prefer to sell it all at once and in exchange agree to ditch the individual consumer.

Anyways, i thing that mergers are happening and will happen more,these days are the golden days of vaping, once critical mass is achieved new mass-produced dead-cheap e-cig parts will dominate the market.

And when the state all over the world catches on there will be strict taxing-regulation imposed. Our far east friends will have to further ditch their percentages to keep the product viable, small vendors will literally disappear overnight or over-specialize in niche non-regulated parts of the market.

That is still some years off though, there are ppl out there making huge amounts of cash selling basically 'torches' and 'amp-resistant' cables selling on electronic malls by the kilos for 100's of $....

that is just one way of seeing it though ...​

Have you considered just stocking up? If you're set on a few juices, just buy a large bottle of each. Buy several cartos, or whatever at once.




Hmmm, I wonder why that is? :D

I can only speculate as to why a vendor might not carry a lot of stuff, but it probably has to do with having only so much money to tie up in inventory. If someone wants to specialize in juice, well, that's their decision. My impression is that most e-cig vendors aren't large operations. Maybe some are doing it as a sideline to their jobs. There's a limit somewhere to how much time you can spend doing that without going crazy too.

I doubt we'll ever get to the point where "grape" tastes the same whether you order it from TV or FSU or anyone. I don't know how to get 100+ vendors to agree on what grape should taste like. Compound that with hundreds of flavors, and where does that leave you?

If you're regularly buying juice from a particular vendor, you might be able to convince them to carry your favorite hardware.

Yeah I am working on that with the hardware.. Now if I can only get Johnson Creek to sell Rath juice, or Tasty vapor to sell attys. And for someone to mention to the Chinese to remove the wadding around the 510 filament and to stop them leaking. Well I am still a 801 fan even though I would love them to be as small as 510s. Perhaps 510 cartos are the answer.

I can see advantages of juice vendors grouping up. I love the choice out there but not the hide n seek for them :)

Yes the dream of a local store for vaping supplies. I am dribbling at the thought.

I keep ordering from heaven-gifts (China) simply because they DO seem to have everything I need. And great prices, too. But the postage is high, of course.

i stock up a little at a time at HG's also. 4 atties for a little over $22 and i always do the $3 airmail shipping because i'm in no hurry. the longest i've had to wait is about 3 weeks. their airmail is very good and they give you a tracking # within an hour of ordering :toast:. just track it at usps.com when it's underway.

i just keep $20 or less orders coming from them. I love their adapters, drip tips, etc. can do a good little order for less than $20 at a time. no hassles, no drama, i know what i need and i'm good to go.

i never order their juice though. gag. i get that elsewhere.

ps - the worse thing about having to shop several vendors for supplies is you're going to get hit with $5.95 shipping no matter how small the order because they only have a few things you need. add up all those orders at different vendors and you just spent a crap load of $ for shipping as small as a $9 order. not to mention the out of stocks and wanting you to prepay for the latest and greatest mod before it's manufactured lol.

Many X i fill my cart just to find out what shipping is and do a 'forget it' and clear my cart and usually go to HG's. HG's really is a superstore one stop shopping.

Excellent sarcasm : Very well thought out. I prostrate myself at the feet of the worlds greatest comedian. Perhaps you should shop at a superstore that has ATMs, Gas, and groceries.. Ever heard of or seen those? Plus they dont charge P@P. Must be a very long day for you.. Keep your eyes open of a company called Walmart.
