After a few days I knew I was going to get screwed. Here I am sitting around waiting for my order, the whole time other people are actually getting the stuff before I do until it's OOS. I hope I can get my money back. I don't look forward to going on a smear campaign but I'll do it.

I had to do a charge back on a company that went silent on me- 2 weeks of emails, trying to phone, FB message, I called my Credit Card Company and they did a charge back, my money was put back on my card that day. Then I heard from the company- the item I ordered was out of stock and they forgot to message me- yea sure!!!!

I think with electronic payments these days you can almost always get your money back through your card company. Can't say as I blame you for spreading the word about what happened. I'm for sure glad to know myself.

@DonBaldy, since you axed... https://vapeband.com/ This is how I initially reached the guy to ask him a question, bottom of the page, and I got a pretty quick response. Some time after my question, quite some time, really, he emailed me out of the blue, letting me know what I asked about was available. I was stunned he remembered.

His ebay store doesn't show much, but anytime I've asked, he has much more available. Very reasonable, too. https://www.ebay.com/sch/vapeband/m.html?_armrs=1

This thread is turning into it's own shinyitus version and costing me money....:D
Me too. I've got to put on the brakes. In the last two weeks I'm up to 6 mods, 6 RDAs, initial purchases of all things for DIY juice, more squonk refill bottles, atty stands, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. I forget what I've ordered for Fasttech but I have 3 orders in various stages with them. Oh yeah the Aromamizer Supreme 2.1 single coil deck that is somehow in Puerto Rico. Someone needs to start and Shinyitus 12 step thread.

Dude, you are seriously gonna save SO much money this way. I know it seems like a lot, up front, but think of how much you'd have spent in one month for smokes, or even juice, depending on where you got it. You've already seen how simple it really is.
Oh I know it. I'm more worried about how much I've bought in hardware.

Understandable, too. I can help ya justify that, though. You got those Lunas at a STEAL. A STEAL! Can't speak to the other beauty you bought, I've no idea, but you did sell a bunch o'stuff in order to fund those purchases. You've found your happy place. Some might never. Then add in the fact that all these bans continue to grow, even though we all know they're going after the wrong type of vape stuff (don't even get me started :cuss2:), so everyone is in, at least, a mild state of panic right now.

Long story short, you prepared for your future of getting off your smokes. :D Don. You're saving your own life. Can't put a price on that ;)


(how'd I do?)

I did steal the Lunas. The SQ is a beast. 21700 squonk. Hits harder than many of my tubes.

I’d gotten away fro squonk but it really is my happy place.

I've never squonked. Squnk? Don't need another rabbit hole. I'm happy with my simple vapes. Single coil rta, single batt box mod and DIY. Happy is good enough :)

Bought a smok D-barrel mod today. $23 bucks why not. I've wasted more on less if it goes south. Was gonna get a Rebirth rta as well but figured I better not spend too much. May hit up the sauce LA to pick up a few more bottles.
Oh! I was looking at that mod today. I am not crazy about smok, but let me know if you like it. It looks to be very hand friendly. I got that silly mag grip and while it works really well and I think it's fun looking, the fire button is a bit hard for me so It's sitting in it's box :( It's such a pretty blue and matches my blue aromamizer plus very well but I can't use it easily.

I too dislike everything Smok...although I did like the T-Priv but the d barrel looks really cool.

Thanks for posting these. In all my years of online shopping I've never had to do this. I'll just contact the bank to do this if needed. I pretty much know something went wrong electronically after talking to that MayTrading guy. Hopefully their internet tech/manager guy can help find a solution first.

I hope it all works out for you-
Of all my years of online shopping and using many US and China vendors I never had a problem until the one US vendor Vaping 100.com- still after all that they were still showing the sold out item as In Stock- these were coils I needed for my Asvape Cobra tanks- very hard to find in the US, so when I saw a US vendor had them I jumped on trying to buy 4 packs from them. My usual vendor Vapor DNA had sold out of them- so I tried that new vendor- no coils sent to me and had do do my 1st charge back.
That whole experience showed me that I needed to buy and use RTAs and RDAs and not be so dependent on factory coil tanks!
