worst mistake ever

[Youthful313]

I ordered a 5v mod almost a month ago now. I received the mod about 9 days after I ordered it which was fairly faster then I thought it would be. Now the mistake I mad was being a penny pincher and ordering the batteries from a non-e-cig website (saved me like 8 bucks). It's been 2 and a half weeks now and I still haven't gotten the batts yet. I checked the tracking on it and it still says it hasn't left the destination yet. So I prob still won't see them for like another 2 weeks. It sucks so bad, first 5v mod and I can't even use it. So my point I'm trying to make is just order batteries with your mod or take the chance of looking at your mod for (x)amount of day and not be able to use it.

You would not be the first one to make that mistake. That's how some of us got 'extra' batteries. Try MadVapes : Li-Ion Batteries

It can go the other way around too. I ordered, and received, batteries for my Juice Box something like six weeks before the JB was delivered. I've had it, and them, for a while now ... and thinking of selling them both. For a loss, of course.



I wouldn't call that my worst mistake EVER though. That distinction would, no doubt, go to my unfortunate choice of a dangerously bipolar (maybe schizophrenic) woman for a wife. I'm a psycho magnet. Single since 1984.

That was one of my first mistakes as well. I ordered half from China and half from the US so I sat around smoking cigs for an extra two weeks. I don't think I'll be ordering from overseas again. What the heck even though they are reselling stuff made in China why not let a guy make a couple bucks so you get your stuff on time. If this place you ordered from is in the U.S. than you should let us know who it is so we can avoid them.

Peace.

I came close to doing that myself. But alas I'm too lazy and didn't want to take any chances. Just bought a Prodigy V3 and even though I have quite a few batteries I still ordered more and another charger. I couldn't take even thinking about having a new mod and not be able to use it. Hope you get your batteries soon.

I must be pretty lucky lately. I got some batteries from China in 11 days and part of that was the holiday weekend; whether that had an effect or not I don't know.

I went through the same thing as you recently, though. I ordered some batts from China while I was deciding whether or not to get a certain mod. I did order the mod and had to wait a couple of days for the batts, but I've become really patient in the last few years for some reason, so it was okay.

Brad it ended up being a across seas distributor. When I ordered it I didn't know though. The site is called Focalprice.com. It came up in a search on google under amazon. It loked like it was a American shop and it was my own mistake for not checking. Yeah I'll never order across seas again.

 

[bearscreek]

Yeah, it sucks when they pull that game on you.

You might be able to find some 18650's or whatever you're using at a local electronics store. Gonna pay full retail but you'll have some spares on hand when the order comes in.

 

[Youthful313]

I went to those battery specialty stores already and they told me they didn't carry Lit-ion. I wish they just had them at best buy or something. Maybe I should call a couple hobby shops. Does anyone else know what other uses there are for Ultrafire 14500 protected?

madvapes and clouds of vapor are fast and well priced.

I ordered from this place and they were quick.

I think I may have married your ex-wife

Thanks Brad

I ordered batts in the "Lead time" for Chuck.

Received the 3.7 (18650's and chargers) ahead of time.

Received the Chuck in 2 weeks from the order date, and bought batts off of the classifieds in the mean time for a the HV Vapin'...

Try the classifieds. Go with priority shipping for about 2-4 day time, and you know they have it in hand already, and cheaper.

 

[Youthful313]

I be checking in on the classifieds all yesterday. I just checked the tracking again and it says it left from Hong Kong to the US. So I figure it'll be another week before I get them.

+1. Fast and cheap. Free shipping on my just batt order. First place I will look from now on.

 

[Kate51]

I know the problem too!
Saving a couple bucks doesn't compute when you end up paying for more postage and more waiting from a 'cheaper' source....DUH. I learned my lesson.
Cheap is nice, but you need time to plan ahead. I once in awhile order attys from BestECigs (China) and don't pay for accelerated postage, save a bundle, but I have some attys left when I order. It's gonna be at least 3 weeks. And if something is wrong with a couple be ready to write it off, returns and adjustments can get hairy!

The same thing happened to me. They even had a California phone number on their website! Very misleading.

Thanks Brad

I have also used high tech dealz and been very pleased. Although, now I prefer the high drain batteries.
