Why not support our Canadian vendors? No exchange hassels and cheaper shipping..
Because even after exchange from Cdn to Usd,shipping etc prices are still cheaper from the US.
Most Cdn vendors prices are way overpriced !
We (Canadians) need a far better pricing structure.
The problem is not enough volume sales so they have to charge crazy prices to make ends meat.
I understand making a living and all but look at the competition.
Hypothetically:
US vendor sells 5 mods @ $1.00 each profit = volume sales
Cdn vendor sells 1 mod @ $5.00 profit = US shopping for Cdn's
See the difference ?
Don't even get me started on the CDN online debautchery......
Istick 20w is a prime example.
Full kit at 1 Cdn vendor $32.99 only recently dropped from $39.99 , another $64.99 or mini kit for $49.95 WTF !
Who in their right mind is going to pay $64.99 ? Yet people do !
Too many fly by night money grubbing vendors in Canada. US as well but there is much more competition in the US so if you want to stay in business long you have to price match pretty much.
These vendors Cdn or US don't give 2 shits about you not smoking, they care about how much money they can make off this vaping "fad" and how quick.
Not ALL Cdn vendors are like that ( overpriced and non competitive ) but the majority are.
I'm all for shopping within my own country/community but not if it's going to cost me almost double !
All this is just my own experience and opinions
I still do buy alot of vape gear in Canada but I shop around and weigh all the options and compare prices .
Then buy accordingly , be it US or Canada
