Who's your favorite vendor and why?

[dgm76513]

For me, it's LiquidXpress.

Why? They stand out with quality and consistency. Every time I visit, I walk out with more than I bought. Their customer service is top-notch and Rob is very helpful and awesome to talk to. They take pride in their work and do things right.

I would like to know everyone else's favorites, and what makes that so?

Looking forward to some responses

I like Vapescape in the UK. Never had a single issue with them. Get great personal service and they are very competitively priced.

I also have no issues with UK eliquid / Ecigwizard as well. Again. A great young company really trying to support the community.

I predict that the percentage of companies with stand-out customer service is higher here than in any other "industry".

Whatcha think?

Ikenvape. He listens to his customers wants and needs then engineers his products to that. Although he's been closed lately because of a few rotten apples he will be back soon. One problem though is his products are so good he sells out quick. He does order a lot but everybody wants them.

I really don't see a whole lot of difference between vendors, as they are mostly all very good.

Some seem to have a better handle on which products to stock, but that makes them smart, it doesn't make me like them.
If they don't have the products I want, I just go elsewhere, but it's not like I don't like them.

So to answer this question, my favorite vendor is Mrs T's Bakery.
Because she uses real popcorn to package her items, and throws in a few pieces of candy.

I don't eat the candy, and the popcorn is stale, but I don't care because I just think it's really neat.

I've read about people doing this before. I agree, it is a neat idea. And those little "extras" that businesses throw in, be it free items or candy, I believe is what keeps people coming back.

Edit for clarification: Provided the product offered is comparable to others and of acceptable quality. I don't think throwing in extra goodies with a crap product would persuade anyone to continue business. lol Here's your turd, enjoy your free hat!

If I have to just name one, it's Madvapes. They are like Wal-Mart. They have just about everything but, not really the best of anything. You just keep going back though.

 

[mommywoman]

I do like Green Smoke, I think their product is really good, but then, it's the only one I've tried. Their shipping process stinks, they take so long. Thinking I might try another. Was thinking of Vapor4life, they have really have good reviews. I use a 2 pc, battery and cartomizer.

 

[Butters78]

Provape and Altsmoke cause they got mad skills son, killa mods son, word is born.

 

[JAY73]

for me it is hands down madvapes they have great cs and if you ask any ??? in there forum hoogie76 answers them for you also even though top vapor might not be ave,mrs.t,ect,ect,ect they are decent and some are quit good and since i am on a super tight vape budget $7.89 for 30ml 18mg is right up my ally... just my 0.02¢ for what it's worth...

esmoker online's B&M in Orlando has knowledgeable staff that actually are vapers. They're not just hired to sell a product, they want to help people make the switch. I also like that I have a local store who don't gouge on prices because they're B&M. Maybe a little more than I could find online if I looked, but I can walk in, talk about what I want, get it at a fair price, and walk out with out having to wait for the mailman.

That being said, they deal more with the equipment side but keep a good supply of bulk supply juice.

For a good juice vendor that has some hardware, I'm into Vapors Choice. He's very active in his thread on here, he runs an occasional contest to give back, and other than one flavor (Cherry, a hard one by all means) I've enjoyed every juice I've gotten from him. He's quick to respond to issues and corrects them way over and above what a vendor needs to do. He'll handle custom requests as well (I asked for a different nic level and got it no problem). It's a side gig for him outside of his normal job/life, but he still makes the time to be in the thread responding to people. Oh, and he has what has to be the best price on the eGo Twist battery

Smokeless Image..... great people, great product, great CS.

 

[dragonbone]

For me, maybe because I am in Japan, so it's closer.... My number one for hardware is Health Cabin.

Fast service, immediate polite and helpful answers on the forum, immediate shipping, no wasted packaging material, fix a problem no questions asked, absolutely ZERO 'attitude', great products at cheapest prices.

 

[BacsiBob]

Wow, I've shopped at about half of those listed. My go-to-first, however, is DiscountVapers.com . Eric is, I think, a one man show and he is really into good cs. He also continues to add new products to keep up with the ever changing vaping scene. He also takes and active part in ECF.

This is funny to me considering I no longer buy from this vendor since I switched to 100% VG, but I will always greatly respect Kalamazoo Vapor Shop. This was my first shop that taught me everything I needed to know, and always provided excellent service. Their juices are incredibly good, and their mods are awesome, but I just started down a different path out of curiosity I suppose. Every time I get ready to place an order, I am still tempted to go to them knowing I will get a great product and excellent service, but I just cant help to keep exploring. If you like PG juices, and awesome mods, be sure to check them out. I recommend their OMFG and Mad Hatter Smooth tobacco juices. Sooo awesome, especially if you are needing juice to get you off cigs.

Pink spot vapors for me.
Every order so far I have got a handwritten, personalized note. makes my day every time

 

[nansc]

I have to say ecigexpress.Their service is second to none.Any problems and and they are right on top of it.Shipping is super fast.It's my one stop shop for everything DIY flavorings etc.I don't know about their Juice because I make my own.I really haven't had any problems with them or anyone else to be fair but I like getting my stuff at one place.

 

[Hottody]

VAporBeast! Oh yes...did I say VAPORBEAST! Free shipping, hand written thank you notes, quick responsive replies, great prices and sometimes they throw in some free goodies like a drip tip! VaporBeast is my favorite, Hands Down!

I like different vendors for different reasons. But, Health Cabin is my favorite (except for the expense of shipping from China!) They not only have good prices. But, also, tend to have a lot of neat stuff well before most other places have them.

 

[KForrester86]

I'm gonna have to say Hoosier E Cigs Supply. They got what I need and don't have to go anywhere else most of the time, and the shipping is fast. Brent is cool as hell and does a lot of videos on his products he offers. I've been handing his business cards out like a mad man after all the compliments I've been getting about my kGo I bought from him.. I'd probably shop at GotVapes a lot if they weren't out of stock on everything every time I have some extra money.

I'm still exploring juice vendors, but so far I have tried VapeDudes and BlueMistVaping.. both are good.
