Why no "next day" delivery from Vendors?

[Al Capwn]

Given smoking is something you can't go a few days without? I'm a very bad planner and my iCig (which I bought last Friday) has just run out of carts . I've had to buy some rolling baccy so back on the evil "analogs" now until I can order some new stock.

Planning a substantial buy tomorrow (pay day for me) and will be using Liberty Flights, Totally Wicked and Mirage and with the exception of TW the other two (like other vendors I have visited) only offr vague shipping options some of them won't even dispatch it for 2-3 days, let alone the further 2-3 days delivery.

I've never been good at planning and I have learned from my first week vaping that I should definately "stock up" but I now have the problem of having to use analogues until all my stuff arives (or at least the LF order as that has the Riva 510 SE kit I'm ordering).

I buy a lot of PC components online from people like eBuyer, Dabs and OCUK and all of them offer a next day delivery service (for a premium of course) so I find it strange that a smoker's shop (essentially) make you wait an unknown number of days.

I know most you guys probably stock up and order well before you run out (as will I in the future) but I kind of feel stuck at the moment as it looks like I'll be smoking analogues for anything up to a week now .

To be fair to iCIG, they did deliver my unit on Saturday (after ordering on Friday) so I may have to order a load of carts from them in they hope they come Saturday and keep me of the evil analogs until my "proper" kit comes in.

Does anyone know where Liberty Flights are based, is it in London and if so can you pick up direct from their store?

I really want the Riva 510 after hearing good reviews but may have to go for the mega expensive Tornado tank kit as I know that will come next day...arrrgh advice!

If your really desperate, some petrol stations sell Electronic cigarettes.

Although they are poor quality and defiantly not something you want to use long term, if you need one for a couple of days they will probably do the job. Better than nasty Tobbaco.

Other than that, id suggest just using someone with next day.

Thanks for advise Ben, I must admit I've never noticed any eCig at my local petrol stations (Oxford) but I'll look out for them.

I have just posted what I plan to buy tomorrow here...

So providing TW's promise of a next day delivery (if ordered before 3pm mon-fri) I should at least have a working TT to use until the Riva comes.

I have also been on the LF forums and heard people got next day delivery if ordered early enough and I will be ordering first thing tomorrow morn so fingers crossed it all comes on Saturday.

Ahh damn, I was in Oxford today.. If i had known I would of thrown you a 510.

Nevermind, that would have been ultra nice of you. Well at least I've got something to look forward to over the next week or so.

Most (reputable) vendors offer next day delivery.

On iVapour, I say make your order before 1pm and the aim is to get it out the same day.
This is nearly always the case, but very occasionally if there is a backlog...

I would really recommend some LR cartos, and not the M402, for the same reasons...
.. and some higher strength e-liquid as well.

 

[Al Capwn]

Not sure about that Janty range....

Why do you advise higher strength e-liquid, I'm coming from Marlboro Lights which aren't very strong (I don't want to OD on nictotine)

 

[Chrissie]

Vappa, Places like ebuyer & dabs have dozens if not hundreds of folks working for them - so they can deal with as many orders that hit them. Most e-cig vendors are growing businesses so understandably can't be geared up yet to cope with days when they are inundated with orders.

Why aren't you sure about the Janty range? So many e-cigs out there are copies of the original Janty range.

I've been vaping for coming up to 3 years & I've mainly always had next or the following day delivery from every UK vendor I've bought from.

As for Toby (a highly respected UK vendor) suggesting a higher strength juice, I think he did so because you say you are a 20 a day smoker? You can always cut juice with glycerine - you can buy it cheaply from a chemist or from a supermarket, if you find it is too strong for you

Yes Chrissie, exactly that.
(And thanks for the compliment btw! )

Many people new to e-smoking do not know what strength they prefer (in whatever device, i.e. for low resistance, some people may use a weaker liquid than if they are using say a standard 510).

I recommended LR cartos because -

Firstly, my personal tastes/needs (0-10, 0 = couldn't give a cr*p, 10 = absolute must)...

Big Vapour = 9
Throat Hit = 9
Ease of Refilling = 8
Flavour = 7
Looks = 3

Many companies in the UK sell them and they are a cost effective alternative at between £1-£1.60 each.
