Why is it when you order something you really need and just a few extras...You receive the extra stuff but not what you really really needed? If it was not for bad luck I swear I would not have any. Well that was what happened to me while ordering attys. I dont want to name the supplier yet ....I want to give them a chance to reply.:blush: But dang I am so disappointed.

I like the places that tell you how much of a particular item they have in stock, or at least post it on their site that the item is out of stock. The ones that don't do that, well they just wanna get your money, and they don't care if you have to wait while the item is back-ordered. Forget that noise! You know what I mean....

Knocking on wood here... The only problem I've had with the postman was when he lost my Roku... never lost vape stuff, and no supplier has done me that way either... Guess I've just been fortunate...

I've got enough attys to last me 3 months, and enough liquid to last me at least 6 months (prolly more like a year)... Got batteries, and backup pvs, and backups for the backups... Took me just under three months to get my supplies worked out, but hopefully I've put myself in a position where I won't be desperately stalking...

I'm also very lucky to have an excellent, knowledgeable outlet. It's at the flea market, so it's only open on Saturday/Sunday, but they are great and they're there in an emergency... It'll be nice when vape shops are as common as cigar shops. Don't think it'll be good for us when they're selling them in every convenience store, though... The cheap stuff will be around, but not the good stuff... We'll see...

I've been really lucky and haven't had anything totally forgotten in an order. I've had a couple of DOAs here and there. Most frustrating one was I just got a mod and ordered some batteries to use it at 6v... one of the batteries was DOA. Still works at 3.7 but now I have to get the battery thing sorted out on Monday and wait some more.

I wouldn't be very happy. They take your money, they make you wait for the order to come in, an then it turns out they didn't send you the stuff you paid for? I'd be tempted to call my credit card company, tell them "They scammed me, they didn't send me what I paid for, reverse the charge". Taking the money when you don't have the product to ship is stealing. I don't think I'd be withholding their name, I think I'd be spreading the word on who to avoid.

It's even worse if you are not CONUS! I got a GLV2 sm recently and ordered 2 batts and a charger with 1 battery being DOA. Shipping and duty are too expensive here so I'll probably have to hope the 1 battery lasts until I can get back in Oct.

When will I learn to order at least 3 of everything! :facepalm:

One place to definitely watch out for is ecigmods.com . It took me 2 MONTHS to get my order (part of which was drop shipped from a different company) and this was only after turning him into the BBB and numerous threatening emails... ecigmods.com is RIDICULOUS. Search ECF for the name and you'll find a TON of dirt on ecigmods and the owner Craig Patterson. He was the "creator" of the infamous "Vapezilla" referred to by most vapers as the "Crapzilla" lol.. or just simply the "POS" :)

I'm a little more tolerant than you. I am of an age that when I was in business Back Orders were the norm not the exception. It wasn't IF but WHAT.
