I bought a 5ml liquinator tank from the Richardson Vaporescence sometime in December, and a few spare punched XL dual coil cartomizers. Those worked great for me. Good vape, holds lots of juice so I don't have to refill often, etc. The cartomizers would last 7 to 10 days, then start getting clogged and I'd put a new one in.
Fairly early in January, I went in to get more cartomizers, and they told me they were out, would have some soon. For the next week, I called in fairly often, and they kept telling me "We don't have them yet, but soon".
Then one day I called and they told me "We aren't going to carry those anymore". Which led to me asking "So why did you sell me this tank if you aren't going to sell me the cartomizers that I need to go with it?"
When it's all said and done, they told me to come in and we would work it out. I went in, and they gave me a new tank. (Delrin, not aluminum like I had before, but free.) I kept my old tank, they gave me a new smaller tank and several standard punched cartomizers to go with it. They threw in a drip tip, too.
I have to give them big props for customer service here. Giving me a tank and several cartomizers is a lot more than I expected, and a lot more than most businesses would do.
However, I still find myself a bit disappointed. The smaller cartomizers don't work as well. They don't wick as well. (I'm using Boba's Bounty, which is all VG, and I'm told that the filler is different on these cartomizers compared to what I was using before.) And they clog up much faster, usually in 1 or 2 days, compared to the 7-10 days I was getting before. Since the price is more or less the same, that means spending a lot more money every month (20 or so cartomizers a month instead of maybe 4 a month.) And it's just plain a hassle to have to switch them out every day or two. That's part of why I like a tank - so I don't have to mess with it all the time.
Elsewhere on ECF, I explained as best I could what my problem was, and what I was looking for, asking where I could go to buy cartomizers. Based on that, I'm going to try these Kanger cartomizers.
Kanger 510 Cartomizer - 5 Pack
Big props to Vaporesence for giving me another tank, some cartomizers for it, etc. But I must admit, it's going to end up costing them business because they don't want to sell the cartomizers I was happy with, and I'll find another source before I switch to the ones I'm not happy with. Rather disappointing, as I'd prefer to do business local, but I haven't had any juice from them that I really like (I know I'm picky about juice) and now I'll have to get cartomizers from someplace else, too.
I'll keep handing out their cards, though. That'll send them business indirectly.
