Navigating Amazon

[BuryTheSun]

I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on searching for stuff on Amazon? They have quite a bit of stuff for vaping, mods, tanks, coils, rtas/rtdas etc. But man is it a PITA searching for them. All the general search methods that work on other sites generally doesn't bring up much. It isn't until you start linking "other products like this" over and over and over that you start finding stuff.

Granted, searching for a specific item would do the trick, but I'm a peruser, like to window shop and of course, buy stuff I never intended to lol. Amazon I find is incredibly frustrating for just checking around to see what's there. Anyone else feel like this? Or perhaps found a way to browse better?

You can find some good deals on Amazon, however, I'd be looking on Ebay if I were you. I've found lots of great deals, but make sure the gear is authentic. A lot of clone sellers on there. Plus, there's quite a few good vendors out there too, you just have to shop around a little. You might also want to watch the sale and coupon threads on here as well.

I try googling stuff I'm looking for and find a lot of it that way. It's a bit more direct rather than perusing a lot of stuff you don't need or aren't looking for. It just takes some time and effort sifting through all of the ads and BS links.

I appreciate the response DoctorJ. I've actually been lurking this site a long long time. Finally figured it was time to get a little active lol. I order from all the usual places, VapeNW, VaporBeast, Fasttech, Ecig blah blah blah. I order here and there on Ebay, especially wire. I'm an Amazon Prime member, so free shipping. I've gotten good deals on batteries. The free shipping is nice, no finding a good deal then spending another 25-50 bucks to save $8 on shipping(I'm guilty as hell of that lol) so I was just wondering if anyone else cruises Amazon but more efficiently.

Anytime I've ever browsed for vape gear or DIY stuff on Amazon, I've just used direct phrases. Sometimes RTA works, specifics work, if it's there, "vape" pulls up some stuff, but in your case, maybe cruise other sites, then go to Amazon with the specific. If it's available, at a comparable price, then you get the free shipping.

Since you have Prime, one of the very best things to get on Amazon is PG/VG -- the prices are a smidge higher than elsewhere, but comparable... but when you figure free shipping on such heavy liquids, it's a huge savings.

Would have gone this route instead of the cotton overloard but was worried about shipping until I did a prime trial.
meh now I got cotton instead.

Yeah a "trial" is how I wound up with it -- forgot all about it, till they hit my credit card for $99. But at least we got to try it out, and we like it, so we'll probably budget that $99 out of next year's tax refund.
