Best site to get genuine devices for lower price?

Pretty much as the title says, are there any well-known sites that offer genuine devices for lower prices? What got me wondering is I was looking at the iJust2 Kit from eleaf and online I'm seeing various prices ranging from $25 - $40 for the kit where as the vape shop closest to me has the same kit for $50. Theirs, however, does come with a free 15ml bottle of my choice, but I can't really see that justifying a (potentially) extra $20.

Just to name a few US sites off the top of my head.

China - Fasttech, efun.top - can take awhile with shipping and processing.

If your not in a real hurry to get what you want, usually the Chinese resellers are the best value in price. Efun.top, 3Fvape ,Aliexpress, even Gearbest, but they have shipping and customer service issues. Fasttech is my first choice.

Thanks for the sites, they're pretty helpful. I of course looked through sites myself earlier, but I of course didn't know which ones were reputable. That Vapecrawler one seems really good.

yeah, shipping and customer service issues is something I'd rather not deal with. I'd prefer to shell out the extra $20 at the vape shop where I can get it quickly, not worry if it's going to get "lost" in the mail, and then playing phone/email tag to resolve the issue.

Im trying to get away from Chinese retailers. Even though they have the best prices usually, the ship times and processing times are generally terrible and customer service can be spotty.

I recently came across SweetVapes and their prices seem inline with the Chinese retailers (ie. cheap) and they are US based and ship fast. I hear they have really strict return policies, so be sure what you order is what you want, but other than that Im eager to see how they are. I ordered a Smok Treebox, a Herekles, a couple VTC4s and a few other things and they already shipped (shipped the next day) with 2 day USPS. Hopefully all is well and I found a good US vendor with Chinese prices.

Once you see the prices across the big pond and learn to be ok with the waiting, that is tough shopping habit to break. I did get a couple VTC4s
from 101 Vapes this weekend. My first order from them even though I had them bookmarked for years. I always seem to be a day late or a dollar short when visiting their site.

Yea I got 3 sets from them since they were so cheap too. Not sure about their other prices, but they do ship really fast. Also found one other site that is a US shop with Chinese prices and ships quick. I really wanna be done with Chinese vendors. Ive had nothing but problems with them so far, across the board. Bad customer service, bad business practices, terrible processing and ship times, and false advertising.

If they work for you, then more power to you, but for me they just arent doing it. USA or bust.

I had one tiny problem with Fast Tech over the years I have bought from them. They sent the wrong color of a tank. I was kind of upset until I found out that the tank did not perform well. I would have been more upset if it was the color I wanted and still did not vape well.
I rarely if ever contact any customer service when I shop online. I tend to research the item for weeks to be sure that I want or need the product. I hate the hoops of the automated systems one has to go through just to talk to a live person and then that could still be a waste of time.
I have sent some stuff back to Amazon.com, as it's not a big hassle.

If this was my experience, I would be looking at other sites closer to home too.

In the past, I've ordered things online that have came from chinese vendors and from what you've posted are the same problems I've had and the reason I want to avoid them if I can. That's the one perk of getting from a local shop is despite the extra cost, I won't have to worry about late shipment, wrong items, poor customer. Plus with the vape shop here I can pop a squat and try it out right then and there (it's usually pretty fogged up in that place).

With this purchase, I ended up going with the vape shop. They were out of iJust 2's, but instead I got Kangertech SubVod @ .5 ohms, 1600 mah, which turned out to actually be $5 cheaper, still with a 15 ml bottle of my choice. I went with Seduce Juice's Jezebel 100% vg. A friend of mine said that I went with the better one simply because the ijust 2 (to him) seemed cheaply made. I have to say, this is pretty damn good for a stick battery, I get nice clouds with it and so far the flavor carries well.

Cool man, glad youre liking it. I bought myself a Subvod kit for like $14 on that sites closing sale, just for a cool little pocket carry vape in the summer or whatever.
