| I was wondering if anyone had any luck with a chinese based e-cig site? a lot of them are cheaper for bulk orders (of things other than e-liquid, I only buy US for that), and they actually take paypal. I did see a link on either this forum or another for a chinese site that shipped items and people got them in just a few days. I don't mind waiting a week or two for it, but I'd like to know of any sites that actually DO ship orders.
TIA!

| Sugar, I've had good luck with heath-cabin.com but I have stopped ordering from them because of the chinese freight charges. I always seem to be 30 grams into the next weight bracket and depending on the weight of your order and the bracket you could pay 10-15 extra bucks for those 30 grams. ruins the price advantage.
Most sites will answer your shipping cost questions before you buy. You should also be aware that there are wholesale and retail outlets and that may or may not be made clear on the site until you try to put the order in.
Also note that almost all warranties require that you return the faulty item at those same high shipping costs.
I've found cost vs risk has me shopping in the U.S.

| These guys/gals have it much more figured out then myself but customs would be a real issue with me. Shipments are being held up and denied.
BTW.......Welcome to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party! |

If it wasn't, that means they're watching what's going to him.

And thank you to everyone  I think with the risk of it getting taken in customs and having to pay the same shipping back if something was broken.... I'll just wait until I can order from the US haha. |

I'm with Bikes on this. I'd recommend ordering from US-based stores. I know that ordering directly from China seems appealing, but when you weigh in the customs fiasco and the cost of S&H from over that monstrous lake... you'll see little money and time saved.
If you need any continental resources, there's certainly plenty of sites. I know of Volcano E-Cigs in Hawaii, but I'm pretty sure there isn't any companies in Alaska. I'm not sure where you're out of, but if you want some resources closer to you, I'm sure there's a nearby merchant.

I'll probably end up on here more often now haha
I live in NYS, so i was just looking at other options for bulk ordering (because i'm ordering for myself, my parents, and my boyfriend's dad) I think I'll just stick with ones like valuevapor etc. |

If you reside in NYS, one of my favorite vendors there is vaporsetc. Ross is a nice guy to work with and a couple of his juices are a staple in the vape cabinet. The 2.0 Boge's are consistant, shipping is very fast, and he has the Luer cap bottles which are a must have for me. They fill everything with ease. Have not tried the others in that area, so cannot speak to them. |

I have to squeeze it with all my might just to get it to piss out a few drops...
