| Attention all sellers:
Welcome to Rocket's 2nd 510 Suppliers Challenge.
This will run until NOON (Central Time) Monday August 3rd.
The sole purpose of this Challenge, is for YOU to solicit MY money for the BEST DEAL on a 510 NEWBIE KIT, plus SPARES and JUICE. You may be somewhat flexible on what you offer but the deal should include enough product to allow a tobacco smoker to transition to e-cigarettes with as little stress as possible. I would also like for you to offer this deal to any registered VapeAtron member. You can limit quantities but offer at least a few at the deal price.
Please keep your advertising HYPE to a minimum, it won't work with me anyway.
MY RULES to WIN:
To participate you MUST be a seller of e-cigarettes with a WEB based business front. I will ONLY consider offers from an agent of the business represented, not referrals from a satisfied customer. (VaporPimps are OK). Products offered MUST be in stock and shipped directly from your business.
Please list all kit contents in an organized manner, make it easy to understand.
The Newbie Kit MUST include the following:
At least 2 atomizers, at least 2 batteries, at least 5 cartridges, at least 15ml of juice (18 to 24mg/ml). A charging method MUST be included. Extras are of course encouraged. Shipping charges MUST be included in the deal. Shipping method MUST be indicated (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, EMS). Warranty period and return procedures MUST be indicated. Easy replacement of warranty items will be a plus.
And please do not think offering the minimum deal will win this,
because it won't.
I'm setting a target maximum at $75 dollars, shipped.
Give it your best shot at that price, or less. You MAY offer other items in combination with the DEAL at extra cost. Just don't make it too lengthy or complicated to be evaluated. I will evaluate the deal offered, the warranty, shipping and return details, and the sellers' web site (a pretty website won't impress me).
MY evaluation will be the sole and FINAL deciding factor in determining the WINNER. The winner will receive an order from me, and can also expect a follow up evaluation of both product and service.
Let's have fun with this.
The Rocket
(Let's all watch and have a good time) |

| Wow, I'm surprised! Where's the offers?
In case nobody steps up, I would like to offer the following special on behalf of Vapor Barn: M-Series Counter-Offer to Rockets 510 Supplier Challenge #2- 1 180mAh Short Battery (m403)
- 1 200mAh Long Battery (m401)
- 2 Atomizers
- 2 USB Chargers
- 1 AC-USB Converter
- 5 Pre-Filled Cartridges, Tobacco flavor
*2 High Strength
*1 Medium Strength
*1 Low Strength
*1 Zero Nicotine - 5 Empty Cartridges
- 4 3ml Bottles of eJuice, random assortment
- 1 30ml Bottle of eJuice, Your choice of flavor and strength, limited to current stock on hand.

Yes, that's 2 complete eCigs, plus a charger for each, plenty of cartridges to split or horde (your choice), and a bottle of eJuice to boot! All for only $65 ... priority shipping included!
Once again, I am disappointed with the 510 ... come on people, make an offer!

| Well, it appears time has expired. Unless there is an offer while I'm typing, evaluation will not be that difficult. It least it was interesting, watching buyers and sellers watching this to the end (I saw you). Thanks to VapeAtron for putting up with me. Thanks to all of the members out there, my on-line e-cig family.
Back later with my decision, and like before, someone gets some of my money. Go check out both sellers mentioned.

| OK, I'm back.
HealthCabin was mentioned but I was unable to confirm that this was an official entry and the information was somewhat incomplete.
Vaporbarn's counter offer included everything identified as the minimum for a Newbie Kit and followed the requested format. I consider this offer valid, and the Winner.
I compared prices for 510 and 401 kits at both sites and to get everything that was offered was very close between the two. Please go to these sellers websites and check them out yourselves.
My purchase is complete. Login, purchase via Paypal, logoff took 1 min 26 sec via the link provided. Thank you Mr. Barn.

| What is an official entry? I figured, besides helping you shop, it is a good read for someone looking for a deal. Personally, I'm glad you chose the local supplier. | |

That's an OFFICIAL ENTRY
VaporFiend,
I would have evaluated any offer. But they didn't happen. Thanks for pointing out HealthCabin, they are a valid option for someone to consider. They just didn't submit a valid offer.

Well, Mr. Barn, thank you for making the counter offer. I hope it 'paid off' for you. At least I know you got one order  . I had been hesitating getting a 400 series since I was happy with the 510 but you convinced me to give it a try. Oh what the hay, it's only money It was also really cool seeing the Rocketman up on your website. I feel special.
I'll probably not have any more challenges, two of them are probably enough.
But it does reinforce the ability of consumers to influence to marketplace. The custom offers we have been able to negotiate with sellers shows the power a relatively small group can have. The response to our concerns with the traceability of e-juice (thanks to officer Rick) is another example. We are driving change. We should strive to continue this trend.
To me, the VapeAtron forum has become a meeting place for friends, a chance to exchange views, maybe even a few facts, and to provide assistance to the less experienced among us. Yes there is a little chatter that might be better suited for a chat room (or bed room), but on the whole, this is the best source of e-cig info I have found.
Thanks to you all for putting up with 500 posts from the Rocket. UPDATE: Counter Offer Special came in. I am now the proud owner of a 401.
Opening this seemed like Christmas morning. 2 401's, big bottle of juice, little bottles of juice, an, e-cig case, a couple a USB chargers. Thanks Rodney
