I also have a bunch of 808 stuff. For cigalike size gear, they are great. I go to another vendor because I have to, but one stop shopping is always best.

Umm... 2 eVics, Siam mods battery tubes and drip tips (for the eVics) 7x7 316 SS rope for wicks (1/8", 3/32" & 1/16"... yes I have them all) XS 116 silica tubing, XC 116 ceramic tubing, colored replacement tubes for the AGI (I did get the AGI from you) Kanthal ribbon wire, and on my wish list currently is twin Cobra atty's with black pyrex tubes. Haven't decided on if the Cobra's will be colored or not...
FYI: The XC116 (and XC132, if you get the small 1/32" stuff) ceramic braid can be tricky. It has a coating when manufactured that needs to be burned off since we are using it for wicks. Some vendors are kiln treating it to burn off the coating, and it can be torched off. I bought a small amount to try from a vendor who kiln treats it before sale.
EDIT:
EDIT:
and Ring Dings too please
Yep.... boiled mine for five minutes then torched the crap out of it till it glowed orange for a minute then let it cool down before using it....
Which reminds me.... Eric, portable torches would be cool another suggestion for stuff to carry. I had to buy one at an auto parts store and it sucks.
These look good
Moving into an area I don't want to really touch upon. Batteries are one thing.. items that spit fire are quite another
Can't blame you there.Moving into an area I don't want to really touch upon. Batteries are one thing.. items that spit fire are quite another

I've been hearing that a lot lately..... the auto parts store I bought mine at didn't sell the butane to fuel it with, to much of a liability so I had to buy the torch then go across the street to a pharmacy and buy the butane for it.... just to find out the torch I bought sucks and I need a better one.
Oh well the adventure for the ultimate vape continues.
I picked up a nice one from my local cooking wares shop (Sur La Table) but I bet Bed, Bath, Beyond and Amazon have them too. They are for making creme brulees and baked Alaskas.
Also, 7 11 usually carries the butane and so does Walmart.
Also Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight have all been mentioned in other threads.

What are you ordering from other vendors that I do not carry?
I would like to know what I may be missing out on, or better put, what I am forcing you to buy from other vendors that I might be able to provide at a cheaper price.
I've grown somewhat over the last two months and I want to make sure I am putting the investment money in the right places
Please understand this is an informational request only. I want to know what direction I should or shouldn't go, this doesn't mean I will get every thing listed
The eVic. Wish I could've gotten it from DV, but alas I couldn't.
I have waffled on the evic, the difference between cost and what I am required to sell it for is obscene.
Is this item still popular?

Not quite sure about it's popularity. Except for with me, as I just discovered it recently...lol. I see many people say the end up reverting to their ProVaris, but I don't know which specific model they're talking about. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of their mini's, someday. They are quite pricey, though. I have also heard about how vendor's are supposed to offer the eVic at a certain price, so I assume it would probably be hard to give a good deal on them and make money from their sales. I know a few people have been ordering the replacement tubes for them to make them different colors. I'd eventually like to get a white one. It's too hard for me to bother with wraps. Your APV's seem to be priced well, though. I really have no problems with what you offer on your site. I've found a few things that no one else has, like the colored ProTanks and the Sigelei V8 Leather Pouch I just ordered for my MVP. Maybe some 808 clearomizers? I've heard the e-smarts are somewhat popular with 808 users. I know the 808's still have a following, surprisingly.
I've got 2, the wife has 2..... several people I work with have them. At work we have 3 groups of vapers, the box mod group, the mechanical group and the eVic group. Each group thinks theirs are the way to go and doesn't hang out with the other groups much.... it's kinda funny to watch.
Eric, I have three eVics and use them exclusively with the Pro Tanks. The ability to "program" the vape is outstanding, but not for everyone as most people desire a more simplistic "plug n play" device.
It is certainly understandable that if the profit margin is not there on the eVic, it's not something that you should carry for the sake of making it available to your customers.
I purchased mine through COOPs when they were first introduced, and there is no way that any of your customers expect you to be competitive with a COOP.
You have (IMHO) the best inventory of popular items that is ever expanding. Personally I do not think that passing on the eVic will drive anyone to another vendor. I know it won't me.

Others took this as a tiny profit margin, I took it to mean you are forced to sell it at an obscenely high profit due to the MAP requirement.
Since you did a similar thing with another item, why not a coupon code? Or, do like Target & other retailers do with MAP items and offer a store gift card/credit with purchase?

Yes obscenely high. It's like printing money almost.
the issue with couponing that is how I feel when someone doesn't use the code... that and the fact that I was "turned in" for having an advertised coupon code on the last high ticket item.
also my cart isn't sophisticated enough to do deals/combos or certificates.
8-o Wow! Didn't know that.... Thought that was the legit workaround since the "big retailers" did it too w/the gift cards. Well I know you'll do what you think is best, whatever you decide. I love the eVics I got...not sure if I'll need any more though, 2 is plenty. For now, anyway. Though having different tubes down the road might be fun to have for different colors at times.
I know some people have chimed in about you not carrying e-juice, and I too am disapointed in that. But I'm also disapointed that you don't carry some of the simplest DIY mixing things such as empty bottles, PG, VG, sweetners, and flavorings.
I can understand if you don't want to carry nicotine, or the other chem lab tools. But the simple inert things would be a big help to some of us.
