I'm not interested in being a seller, that's for other folks to do but I do have a lot of people in my wife's family that smoke. I've told them about my recent foray into e-smoking and since they've all tried to to quit and failed, they want to try this. Well, this about 20 or so people not counting a few friends here locally that now want to try it out and maybe a few other people at church as well.

What the plan is, we all are want to pool our money and just order by bulk. Cheaper for everyone, one time shipping cost etc.

My question is, do I just order from some company like Boge (for the liquid) and Joye Tech (for the hardware) directly, do I need to go through a middle man of some sort?

Any help from experienced suppliers would be greatly appreciated. We know there's heat from customs, etc but we want this anyway.

Thanks! :)

I'm going to buy in bulk as well (but to sell in my case), and have been researching prices.

The 2 best priced places I've found are: EastMall and BestEcig.

Send emails to [info at bestecig.com] and [sales at eastmall.net] asking for their wholesale prices. The MOQ for BesEcig is 100, for Eastmall 50.

Cheers and good luck! :D

Decided to drop InLife - liked it because I could get in with little investment, but (a) not into gouging people with a $129.95 price tag (b) you have to commit to monthly purchases of cartridges to make money and they're $3.00 a piece! So now I'm planning to just bite the bullet and invest (I know the timing sucks, and I'm a little scared of getting stuck with a bunch of product I can't resell, but I'm gonna risk it anyways.) So I'm strongly leaning toward Central Trade, but with no experience dealing with any of these companies, I was looking for any feedback I can get from anyone who's dealt with them. I want to do business with a company that will brand my boxes (Central Trade will do this with only a 100 pc order,) and that I can count on consistent supply. I know that there have been recent supply issues, and I'd hate to end up like a certain well-reputed supplier recently did. (Don't want to slam anybody, but you know what I'm talking about.)

I guess if I read this question, I would probably less eager to spread the name of my good supplier than I would reccomend avoiding others. I have found a lot more Chinese resellers than I ever thought I would, and most of them are fairly competitive to each other - can anyone maybe note any that I should avoid?

Has anyone heard anything more on ordering from central trade?
I am wondering what payment method I should use. There website says they don't like
Pay pal but will take it. I have never used any other method for ordering over the web except visa. I am working on my website and hoping to get started soon but a bit leary due to everything going on with customs. Does anyone have any other sources they would suggest?
Thanks

He's going to charge a 5% upcharge for paypal, but he'll take it. Many other vendors do this too. It seems like a more fair way of doing business than figuring it into the price so that everyone pays. As for other vendors, if you're looking to order less than 100 of any item, I wouldn't spend a lot of time looking any further. They have a good rep and you only have to order $250 at a time.
