What are you ordering from other vendors that I do not carry?

If I didn't think I'd need to order Vision again, I'd tell you the story.

There's always PM and email :laugh:. Just kidding, sorry you had problems with them. "If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me." -- Alice Roosevelt Longworth

For Cherry Vapes I was under the impression they are exclusive? No?

Seemingly not. Cherry Vape sells them directly, but they are also available on at least a handful of other retailers' web sites. You can google "Cherry Vape ming tip" for who; I don't want to put other retailers names in your forum. The problem is that nobody seems to be discounting them much below $8, which seems a bit ridiculous when the other versions retail for $3.50. The Cherry Vape versions look like a superior product and I would try one, possibly more, if they were priced at $5-6 or less. Of course I understand that won't work if Cherry Vape wants to wholesale them to you at $7 or make you sign a pricing agreement that says you can't retail them for less than $7.95.

I do price match if asked.

Good to know. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.

I haven't seen those yet :(, probably would get them because they'd be really cheap for everyone, the reason I bought the colors in metal was due to the originals cracking easy at the tip, I figured the metal would be better for this, I personally crack all of mine within a day or so, I am hard chomper.

I have a dozen and none have cracked, so I thought they had solved the plastic cracking problem a while back. I am not a chomper, but I do really tighten them down. So maybe chompers need the metal, but some non-chompers like me would buy colored plastic tips. I just can't stand the mouth feel of metal tips.

I suspect T2 colored tips don't exist yet, so for the time being it would be a matter of finding a (presumably Chinese) manufacturer to do a run. I was guessing that's what you did with the metal tips, since I don't see anyone else carrying them. You could put me down for an initial order of one of each color besides black if they were priced at $3 or less.

i LOVE mine, truly, but with the issues with the VMaz, I also hesitate, so far so good no issues but still I want to wait before I buy them in bulk.

Keep us posted on the Zmax. When you are comfortable buying them in bulk, I'll probably be comfortable buying one from you.

My dream product would be a variable wattage mod, with or without a display, in an eGo form factor. Someday... :nun:

Eric, I love your site and have ordered quite a bit from you. I would love to see you carry Boge XL cartos and tanks with thumb screws like the ones mountain oaks vapers or mom and pop vapor shops carry. Those are the two things I use the most and I have to buy them from other places. I am also desperately looking for a good punch tool that is not $30+ bucks. Thanks for running an awesome shop.

the Boges.. I have stayed away recently just because I have heard a lot of poor reports on it I think they changed the fill or something? Has this been corrected do you know?

The thumb screw tank, you can get thumbscrews at any hardware store and just use a drill bit to drill into the side just slightly smaller than the diameter of the thumbscrew end. I could probably do that. I do not know if they are doing it this way or buying them with the screw already but it shouldn't add much to the price of a tank. I should look into this.

I have a DCT Refill tool now on site that eliminates the need for the screw?

for a punch tool, you can always use a saddle valve :) (local hardware store)

I'd go one step further than you to say that even if Eric carried these at a matched price to the other vendors, I would buy them from him. I really don't think Cherry Vape would let any vendor sell them for less than $7.95 because that would be in direct competition with their own web store, and bad for their business. They are made in the USA and a quality product, and that's one of the reasons I will pay the extra $$$ over the cheaper versions.

Eric - If you find out that you can (and want to) carry these, even at the set price, please do get some of the pawn style as well. I already have 2 of these (Burple and Cherry Chocolate), and I plan on completing the set, so I'd definitely get them from you if you had them.

I would hold off a bit longer on the Boge cartos until they can get their QC back up to par and offer consistent quality. Here's a link to Phil Busardo's blog site where he has been following the issues and has been quite vigilant in keeping up with the latest news: Taste Your Juice | BOGEGATE

The Smoktech tank cartos (with 2 holes) that I've been getting from you have been quite good, so please keep those in stock when you can. :D

I am with those who hesitate on those Boge cartomizers. I've had TERRIBLE luck with them in recent months and won't buy them anymore! They have the oddest taste to them, and I can't seem to get it to go away! Plus a lot of the time they seem to be DOA...like the wire broke in there or something. I won't buy Boge now. Not until I'm assured things are worked out and fixed.

More stock of the go-go stuff. It's what brought me to DV. Many of us have already been through the gimmicks of the best way or not to wrap a coil around a piece of string and then to fiddle with it to get some modicum of consistency from it. The Go-go stuff 'always' works, nearly flawlessly. Let all the gimmick chasers and inventors seek their better mouse traps in limited quantity so that they can feel fortunate to have ONE. Some of us just want to plug and play and then throw it away. Seems that every time someone comes up with a new variation of a design that has been less than stellar in the past, and will likely always be just that in the future, the tried and true stock items cannot be had when needed. There is indeed a reason why these more common items are "out of stock"! There is also a reason why they keep having to reinvent the string within a coil system. It's because it sucks. The filler cartos have almost always worked, especially those made for the Go-go!

I agree

unfortunately the go-go is now special order, I have one in but it's taking a while.

Regarding the Hello Twists in assorted colors:

Yea, I know, I should have all the colors and I will get them soon. They are nice, I hesitated getting all the colors because the first run had about a 7-8% failure rate which is way too high, it's not the failure itself, it's how it affects how people perceive my business, a lot of folks do not separate a business from the Chinese manufacturer, so I kinda paused on it. Probably shouldn't have.

Maybe its a good thing that you did. I just glanced at Hello's web site to check out their colors: Special battery eGo twist, ego twist, all electronic cigarette products - SHENZHEN HELLO TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. The purple (1) on the far left is the only color I would likely buy. Too bad, Hello has some nice colors in other product lines. Maybe you should post a picture of any colors you are considering ordering and get some customer feedback before you order colors.

Hello's changing banner at the top of that page made it worth the visit for the hilariously fractured English:

"A lonely is the fault of two people. Dark night Only cigarettes and I accompany" :laugh:

Hello 1.jpg

"The eyes of the goddess of discharge" :laugh:

Hello 2.jpg

Breeze, I checked that site out a while back and never really LOOKED at it. You have singlehandidly salvaged a real 5h17 nite. I almost got coffee OUT my nose when it booted up. Thank You!!!

But check out that E-Cig MAGIC. That is something totally new as far as I am concerned. Vaping and Projecting a picture instead of smoking and projecting......... Eric if you didn't see it while you were there just click on "Latest Electronic Cigarette" it is the 3rd one down, "ego cigarette magic" There is some cool stuff these guys are putting out. That is IF, a BIG IF the stuff works. Like "Twisting" the bottom of a square mod to adjust the voltage. ie:square peg round hole
