    I've noticed that our Chinese vendors are offering lots of BS recently about upcoming mods and attys.
    They advertise items like the Sigelei 75 W and the IPV D2 and a few others on 'presale' not knowing when they will ship.
    One of the vendors even has the audacity to say that we have to pay for a mod and order it and then they will tell us when it will be delivered.
    Prices are uneven across the board and some vendors are charging up to 80% more than others.
    I jsut as well name and shame while I'm at it.
    Have you seen the prices for some of the mods on Heaven Vape. An Evic TC is $100 + for the kit while others are offering it for $60
    How can the price of a Snowwolf fluctuate from $89 - $130 for the same mod on the same Gearbest website.
    I know. I can hear you saying 'if you don't like it, don't buy it.'
    I'm bored....I'm venting......I'm done....... Time for some beers.

    It seems that Micky and Big are the best (vaping) friends we have.
    Ilook forward to getting a TC Mod from Micky and a Subtank from Big next week....

    Enjoy your weekends....... I would enjoy mine if I had a Thailand Vapers t-shirt to wear, but someone has forgotten about me :)

    Yes, I missed it, but I sent him a PM last week and he's checking on available sizes. Maybe he's out of stock.

    Thanks

    Reverse your thinking process !

    About pre-order, the item is not in their possession, that's a fact. The fact that they announce it is normal, it's called commercial marketing. The fact that you can pay for it already is just a bonus opportunity and you should see it like it. If not, just wait for it to be there, like every other items...

    About price disparity, you got it wrong again... The normal price is a certain amount... But you found 80% less expensive !!! You should be celebrating while firing your credit card !

    About the TV shirts... Well... those frenchies... ;)

    I see your point of view, but I don't agree with you and this is why.
    You can call it commercial marketing and that is all good and well, but I've seen youtube videos of foreigners receiving their Sigelei 75watt TC box mods and yet we are informed by some of the large vendors that this product is not due until the middle of August..... The youtube poster says that he got it on preorder....... so that means he got it two months before everyone else !

    Your second point is also a bit off because one of the vendors is offering the same mod for $59.95 and the other is offering it for $82 and both of them are on pre-order.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this anomaly to me, but I was just venting my frustration that I couldn't get the toy in the shop window....

    I'm not arguing at all... You're absolutely right...

    I was talking about the way you look at things, not the things themselves. But never mind, let's keep this thread negative ;)

    In most cases the Chinese manufacturers distribute to America and Europe first, the Chinese are often the last to get them.

    Look at YiHi, a Chinese company that won't even give their mods to Chinese vendors.

    You want something fast, buy from overseas. You want something cheap, buy from China.

    America has it the best in most cases as far as vaping goes. Chinese products there are comparable to Chinese vendors. They also get them quick.

    That's interesting that you should say that Rick... and the rest of your SX mini clan. Did you guys get them from our Pink friends in Spain?
    I was looking at their site recently and while I bought some gear from them over a year ago and had it successfully delivered within a week, I was wondering if their delivery is still of the same high standard.
    Anyone want to chip in here?
