Where are canadians getting e-liquid?

[incongruent]

Hey all,

Where are you guys stocking up on juice from? I'd prefer to stay away from the DIY liquid alternative as I am not qualified to be handling those materials.

Who has the best price and most variety of flavours? And also important is do they have lab results to proove that the juice does not contain the nasty stuff?

 

[Joe81]

check the sticky threads in this section of the forum for canadian vendors & others who ship to canada...

I've had no issues with Eastmall or Healthcabin for juice. I stick with HappyVapor in Canada here for hardware.

 

[ravengrim]

Wow,somehow I think with the situation in Canada the people who live there probably want to keep quiet about it.
And what store do you buy your liquid at?

 

[Joe81]

lol we weren't trying to be quiet about it, its just that there's a couple threads in this section with our canadian suppliers listed

canadian juice suppliers: electronic-cigz, vapesmart, canvape, vapables, quitstix.net & some non-canadian companies...electronic-cigz has johnson creek juice...vapesmart has unflavored for mixing & some other flavors...canvape has a good list of flavors...vapables is new, but i hear they good so far & have some variety in flavors...quitstix.net might be the only spot for VG, but there's been problems with their service from what i hear...

Actually in Canada, we get eliquid brought to our doors in gold skidoos.

Just sucks when the sled dogs eat our atomizers. But hey, at least we don't run the risk of a cigarette melting our igloos.

I didn't realize the sticky was organized that way... well maybe we can use this thread to rate suppliers then based on personal experience?


* Who has the best price?
* Who has the most variety of flavours?
* Who has lab results to proove the juice is clean [in your opinion of what is clean]?

 

[Overlord]

I've honestly never seen a site post their lab results since im sure its very pricey to have done and most can't afford it. But im sure some do.

What I can say is you'll probably have a hard time finding prices better than suppliers from China can sell juice for.

I won't post names but a good canadian supplier is selling 20ml of juice for $22. China supplier selling 30ml for $9.

Only thing i will say about suppliers is if you're in Canada, ordering from a supplier in Canada will ensure you get your package. Good friend of mine ordered from China, order still sitting with customs after 2 weeks so I doubt he'll be getting it

best price are the chinese suppliers, nobody has yet to beat that.

I ordered 1 20ml bottle from a canadian supplier.
6 bottles of 10 ml and 30 ml and a PCC from a HealthCabin.

HealthCabin order I place 2 days before the canadian order.
The 2 packages arrived today together.

here comes the kicker, both of them cost the same to ship. around $13 CAD. while there canadian order came in a small bubble envelope and the chinese order came in a box.

My order went through custom just fine, I think I know where I'm going to order next time around.

Not hating on the Canadian suppliers as I have receive great customer service (same with HealthCabin) but the price is just too much. if the shipping is all the same the price of the juice should be comparable but Canadian suppliers charge almost double the amount and arrived at approximately the same speed.

Unless you are really in a hurry and have no problem paying for faster service (I choose expediated which is already the cheapest option) China suppliers are the way to go, I suspect most of the suppliers get their e juice from the same chinese suppliers anyways.

I guess this is just the way Canada Post run their overpriced business? Or maybe some supplier is way over their head with the shipping & "handling" charges.

 

[Overlord]

I can't argue with you there threezero. Hard to beat the prices you can get from suppliers in China and i also have not had anything held at customs.

Lucky for me I have yet to need any hardware. Still using batteries I got on my initial order from happyvapor and 2 attys I got from a friend at work. Only thing i've had to order is liquid.

But its a trade off of risking your order being stuck at customs or knowing you'll get it. I don't have the kind of money some do that I can risk it. If I place an order say for liquid, i probably am running out and need it. I couldn't afford for it to stay in customs and wait it out or put in a new order.

I am currently trying to make my 1st e-cig purchase. I have read this forum for a bit and chose a Canadian Supplier that was recomened here.

On the 14th I ordered a starter kit, and some e-liquid, all listed as being in stock on the site. I emailed to get confirmation of my order. I was told that my paypal payment did not clear and my order was delayed. Ok fair enough. After that cleared the next day, I inquired about my order. Turns out the e-liquid is now out of stock and it will be in, in the next few days. Monday rolls around a full week later, and still nothing. Email on Tuesday, and get the answer the stock came in and will be shipping. Later in that day I get an email saying part of my order cannot be filled because we "ran out" would you like this instead. By now its 8 fulls days and I've yet to have ANYTHING shipped. I responds to send me whatever. today 9 days latter I STILL can't get a response that my order is shipped!!!!

This is BS. I paid the extra 30 bucks for a starter kit rather than ording it from China becaue I wanted something in stock in Canada shipped right then. I payed the EXTRA for a reason. Seems this supplier is just collecting money, then ordering it!!! I can do it myself. Its not like my money is any safer dealing with a Canadian over a China company, I had to pay a palpal account to a personal name. Good luck collecting on that if they don't deleiver.

Either way, paid double for someone to order from China on my behalf, to take longer to do so, and I have no garentee I will recieve the product.

 

[smokum]

Who is the supplier ?? I don't feel there is any malicious sellers in our Canadian bunch here and this can and will be rectified.

Its an unfortunate first experience I'll admit, but getting thrown into the queue following a delayed paypal payment is explainable.

Sorry things didn't work out for you & that the supplier will "make-up" for your dissatisfaction..... They really are a good lot here & doing they're best to get around the latest customs tightening.

Best of luck in your resolve.

VapeOn,
Greg

What sipplier did you use?

 

[props76]

I'm not going to name the supplier yet, they still have time to make it right, maybe its in the mail and they just don't answer emails. But more importantly they have my money and I don't have any product.

It was my vent, and it is something people should be aware of.

I don't really care about customs tightening. I ordered the product because on the site it said it was in stock, while other items where out of stock. Heck it still said in stock on the site when I was being told it would be in, in a few more days!! I purposely picked those in stock from a Canadian supplier. I was paying to have my product shipped quickly from Canada.

If they were honest about their stock, yes I would've bought from another place. BUT I WOULD BE BACK WHEN THEY HAVE STOCK.

 

[bornagainst]

I get the feeling that every retailer gets their stuff from the same couple of places, so the variety and flavors are all pretty much the same. Either we have ECIGZ with Johnson Creek formulas, or everyone else with some nameless Chinese Brand....choices for us are pretty limited.

Canada Post is the shipping problem, my mom who has worked for the post office for almost 20 years told me recently that it's a lot cheaper to ship to anywhere in Canada if you go to the US and ship it to Canada then if in you shipped it from within Canada.

They are also ridiculously slow, my packages from Ontario to Vancouver take a full week and sit in tracking limbo for most of it. Packages that I've ordered in the US made it from Florida to my PO Box in Washington in 2 business days. There's no reason that Canada Post should be that slow.

Side note, I've paid for next day service with Happy Vaper for a decent sized order, it cost $30 or so, but it was here the next day by 10:30, minutes after our order that was shipped by Canada Post a week previous.

 

[props76]

Canada post was not the root of my issue. It was the supplier getting product through customs. They (customs) got nothing better to do than be a pain in the ... just to protect their jobs.

*end rant*

The problem with shipping in Canada is that Canada Post doesn't have competition. UPS and Fed Ex charge 20 to 30 bucks to ship the smallest item, minimum. Its only Canada post that offers shipping at a cheap rate. Without competetion they don't have to be good

 

[threezero]

^^ i totally agree with you. over charging and slow delivery time asided, the postman always rang my doorbell once and wait for maximum 2 second before leaving. This happen to me 9/10 times. I live in a house it takes me more than 2 second to ran from upstair to downstair and I always scream at the top of my lung for them to wait i'm coming.

and they still leaves.

I always have to go to my nearst postal office to pick up my packages, ridiculous I pay so much I expect to at least have it deliver to my door. If its possible I would rather cut out the middle man and pick up my package from the airport since it takes me the same amount of time to drive to the postal office and to the airport.
