Sure would be nice if vendors provided this information on their websites so there wasn't so much confusion. So far from what I've seen Health Cabin in China provides the best info on the items their selling. Just made an order from them for this reason. If the vendors want my business they'd better start putting specs up for newbies. Might take longer to ship, but I'm tired of spending hours looking through crappy websites.

Amen to that one Deb
Consistency is EVERYTHING in this business, especially when it comes to juice...
When a I find a GREAT vape with a certain combo of hardware and juice, my vendor better be able to reproduce my order EXACTLY, or I will not spend any more of my money with them. GV has been able to do so...COUNTLESS times
Order processing time
E-mail notification time
Shipping and tracking number notification time
Actual product delivery time
Product delivered as described
GV Gets a A+++ on all of these.

Ya mean you don't like the UFO that landed on top of Soldier Field? Next you'll say that tearing up Meigs Field at midnight was a bad idea

No...that was one of the coolest thing Mayor Daley ever did. I still remember that picture on the front page the morning after.
AMEN ! I tried voicing this same issue in the GV prize thread, where aside from posting #'s to win, the majority of the posts on the thread were personal.. "Who got some last night, my wife left me or whatever" But I posted about vaping & how I believe vendors should stand behind what they sell. Last I checked that's called false advertising & there are penalties for that here in America, but in the vaping community its considered normal ? How some of us are disabled, elderly, single parents or too ill to work & can't afford to buy a 5pk of cartos & only 2 work or buying a new carto to try & find that it works GREAT ! But when you buy more of the identical carto (4/5) from the same vendor & none of them work like the first. I hear the excuse that the Chinese or who ever mass produces them doesn't check for quality or consistency, so why can't the vendors do it ? I can only imagine how much these vendors make from the consumers who don't report or return faulty $5 cartos bcuz it costs $2/$3 to mail it back. I smoked for over 30yrs & have been vaping for the past 3 going on 4yrs. I never bought a pack of smokes that didn't work, but I have a box filled with cartos that I researched & viewed countless videos on, that still DID NOT work as advertised or not at all. I'm not pointing the finger at any particular vendor, but speaking in general & honestly from experience. In 3 yrs I estimate a little over $300 worth of crappy cartos, atomizers & tanks. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't buy things that I expect NOT to work. I'm happy for the vendors who are making honest money in this economy, but somewhere along the line someone or somebody needs to start looking out for the little guy, the single mothers, the elderly, the disabled, the guy out of work or the average Joe, who's trying to enjoy the only thing that brings calm to everyday life... Vaping (smoking alternative)
I used to find joy waiting on the mailman but now I find myself worried if what I ordered will work. I'd scrape up & pay extra for a guaranteed working carto, instead of playing the vape lottery. Some may find it fun & to each his own. I survived an aortic aneurysm 7/4/2009, which left me a single mother of 2, crippled & unable to work, so vaping is not a hobby for me. Every penny counts for me, so I don't have a Provari, a Darwin , Reo or any of those great PV's most folks have & boast about. My LavaTube recently broke & I'm working with a SB that I traded for 2yrs ago. I don't see a new one in my future anytime soon. Did I mention that I got kicked out of that GV thread so I can't even win a new PV, (smdh) Anyhoo, my point is.... Vaping has come a long way from dripping, cotton filled caps & regular boges, but now with so many new cartos/tanks & new folks switching to vaping... You would think something would be in place to protect the vaptastic consumer ? I'll be waiting & still vaping until then, but instead of thinking I'm just another disgruntled customer, read my criticism & at least make an attempt to improve the vaping experience for the customer. Yeah I know I'm asking for a lot, but its not impossible. Now I'm going back in my corner to puff & watch the smoke disappear. Promise I won't say another word unless someone asks me too...

This a very interesting point. I've spent gobs of dough on stuff that doesn't work, and I've been vaping only ten months. I haven't returned most of the stuff that doesn't work. I do think it's great that the vendors are making money at this. I really like supporting Mom and Pop businesses; I have a small business too.
Think of it like the early days of any new invention. There are lots of copycat manufacturers, everyone wants to make a buck off of a good idea. Eventually the market sifts out all but the most successful; some get bought up by bigger companies that get even bigger. We are in the very early days of vape history.
It's very sad that some of the manufacturers seem to have no soul, and no regrets about making cheap products. Anyone remember the 1950's and what "Made in Japan" meant?

Mist I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances. I'm in very similar ones. And I do wish it could be as you said....but the thing is....no vendor can check all the products. It's just not possible. I am not one to roll over and just take things, but no one can check all the ce3s in a pack to make sure they work......no one can test all the vivi heads to make sure they work.... etc. I might be wrong, but I seriously doubt that any vendors are getting rich, maybe some big ones. But I know many of the smaller ones, the folks that run them still work full time jobs to pay their bills.
It is sad that it has to be this way. In America we're used to demanding and getting quality. That is just not the case in other countries, particularly the one all this stuff comes from. Until American manufacturers decide to start producing all this stuff, and we're willing to pay the price for that (many would be), this just is the nature of the beast unfortunately.

Vendors need to relay dissatisfaction to manufacturers. If quality control isn't improved, stop carrying their products. This is part of being a responsible vendor. Stand behind your products and provide replacements/refunds to customers for defective items and get a refund from the manufacturer. There's no reason why China can't put in place quality controls. We need to stop racing to the bottom.
not sure what products your discussing but we are selling thousands of vivi novas of all sizes and the issues are beyond extremely minimal in the info coming in, quality has improved greatly on many products but you will still have issues at time just like we did with the ravens, at least with us you know we will work on it and do what we can to get them improved, there is no way for us to on top of it all, we are not in china but we do the best we can and I truly think it shows, we are proactive in this industry and strive to improve, even if its a little at a time. we are always discussing issues with china but sometimes we have to be on top of them for long periods of time to get things done but little by little things are getting better over all.
the amount of issues we deal with has dropped significantly and when a crazy situation arises we are here to deal with it.

And we appreciate it Bad!! That's why I won't even try getting my vivis anyplace else. Also why when someone asked in another thread how they could know they were getting the real thing and not a knockoff, I told em to get it here. And seriously that's how I know. I know there are other reputable companies selling the real thing and it's a good product, but the way I know for sure I'm getting what I'm paying for, is to get it at GV.
I have very very little to spend on vaping, so my $ are precious, and I do look for ways to cut corners. But it doesn't save me money to buy something a lot cheaper elsewhere, then maybe spend more on shipping, then find out it wasn't a good product maybe. I'm not one to blow sunshine, but seeing how y'all have handled various situations......seeing y'all up at all hours of the night loading phx's cuz we were all up waiting on them.....when you'd said it was gonna be another day or so before they were up..... and a lot of other things, makes me know what kinda folks y'all are, and how much you care about what you're doing. Plus you send me taffy!! lol

Totally agree Deb. I know I am getting the real stuff at GV.....pretty much afraid to order from anyone else after having been burned several times.
It struck me when someone mentioned something to the effect "until there made in America"
I tell you it would be great if Dan and Bad had the knowledge no offense and a cnc type machine lathe setup shop and materials whatever needed and churned out there own Got Vapes Made in America vaping supplies.

that was me, and I totally agree!! We just expect quality goods here, and we're willing to pay for them. That's just not the case in many other places. But......there's no way anyone could keep up with the demand if we actually had good quality stuff from here. At least not til they had a factory goin that was the approximate size of......oh.... Texas!! lol
Noob searching for the perfect vendor. Just order a couple Vivi Nova's and replacement heads from Gotvapes due to the good reviews and price.
Good choice, Jane! Stick around a while, you won't be disappointed! I've ordered from several vendors and none compare to GotVapes! Be sure to visit the contest thread, great little mini kit up for grabs now and there will be a VMax contest coming soon
