Larger media bottle (I mix my daily in 250 ml Media bottles), preferably nalgene bottles. I second aszures comment of an "only in stock" view. I am still cracking up at the request for a review for a giftcard XD. a reward item for "Free fast Shipping" or "1 year free shipping" would be great too. Possibly a clove juice...

I know I've probably said this before but....Replacement tubes for the XL Clearomizers.

I will second this, and add tubes in stainless as well. I have found I need these for several things. Only one of which is to rid myself of all of the plastic tubes. I have several naked CE2s that would love a new stainless cover instead. :)

I would like MadVapes to be a little more consistent with their prices. I was about to order a shorty 510 extension that was about $2.50. Then when I selected my shopping cart about an hour later, the price jumped to $6.99. Seriously MadVapes. WTF!?
This upsets me too. I will not order from them until the price on the shorty drops. I think they are loosing business they would other wise have because of the price gouging on this one part. Are they listening???? My God they have 1200 of these, is it really worth it to them??? You would think that they would care what customers think, you and I am far from the only ones UPSET.

Then they should respond and explain it. For now it makes them look bad. They could work around that by free shipping or something?.

I worked in retail management 25 years ago. This sort of thing happens all the time. When we would sell something below what a competitor was selling it for, it was just a matter of time before someone in the distribution chain called up and threatened to cut off our supply of whatever it was because another retailer complained. I took those sorts of calls sometimes half a dozen or more times a month when were were running sales or reducing some inventory.

So, if you want someone to blame, you should look closely at the other two places that sell the shorty.

Thanks for the info. I don't know of any other place that sells the shorty, if you or anyone else knows other vendors that have them, it would be nice to know.

Actually hoogie did write in another thread about this and why it happened. I guess i look at it this way. Here is what most companies do when this happens. The will in time get rid of said inventory. Then they will look to see how long it took to get rid of the product. Then they will decide if the product is worth the space in the shop. If it moves slow and they cant find a cheaper supplier they will just stop carrying the product. Happens all the time. Think about your local store. There is a product you like. It may be reasonable priced to you, because you know its a good product. It may be to costly in everyones else eyes. The product does not move fast. the store pulls it and brings in something that will move. It may not seem right but its what makes the store money.

hope that did not sound to dickish. not ment to piss anyone off

Its not dickish, I like your thoughts. BUT,I would like to think that if I ordered 1200 units that was twice as expensive as any other connectors that It would raise a red flag. They are overpriced and don't cost anymore to manufacture that the other types of connectors. I was a tool and die maker for 25 years and know what it takes to machine parts.

wyojoe, from my understanding hoogie was not aware of the price jump till it came in. Otherwise im sure he would not have ordered so many units. No one wants to sit on dead inventory.
Well I do feel sorry for him, every one gets caught with their pants down, maybe the manufacture will lighten up on his product cost when the sales drop off, or another manufacturer starts making it, but I doubt it, the manufacturer probably already has their money. With 1200 units, that had to cost a few thousand, OUCH. I will now need to rethink my position and maybe do some ordering??
