I have been buying juice and vaping hardware from Mount Baker Vapor for over two years now. I have always, ALWAYS had a good experience with them. They are my favorite place to buy my vaping supplies from. I recommend them highly! Fast shipping, excellent prices, and fantastic customer service.
Any time I need or want something for my vaping "habit" (yes, it is), I always check mtbakervapor first. I only seek elsewhere if they don't have what I'm looking for - which lead me to this tale of woe...
I wanted a small, inexpensive box mod - in particular, I was looking for a Kanger KBOX (I am a big Kanger fan). Well, mtbakervapor didn't carry that particular product, so I looked around. It was hard to find anyone in the USA that had them in stock, so I started looking at reviews for similar mods. I stumbled upon some positive reviews of the Sigelei Mini 30W mod and fixated on that instead. mtbakervapor didn't carry that either, and I eventually found a good price on one from a USA vendor: Wake and Vape. I was a little concerned about how wakeandvape's website and billing worked, but I ordered one from them anyway.
The shipping wasn't as quick as Mount Baker, but it was acceptable and I was tickled pink when it arrived on a Saturday morning. I loaded my new efest 18650 battery in it (from mtbakervapor), and fired it up. I LOVED IT. it was great! I was in low-ohm box mod heaven - until Sunday afternoon. It just quit working....
OK, so I have to contact wakeandvape. I write, and explain the situation and request a replacement or a refund. After several emails back and forth with "Ashley", I send it back at my expense (I was required to ship it back either registered first class or Priority mail - I chose to send it Priority mail).
So I followed the tracking of the package I sent, and saw that it was delivered on a Monday afternoon around 5pm (not sure if it was my time: eastern, or california time). I didn't hear anything, so after a week, on the following Monday, I wrote back and asked about the status of my return. I got a short email from "Ashley" that just said "We take around 10 days to process returns ". So I went back into my earlier emails and found that indeed, "Ashley" had said "We take 0-10 business days to process returns upon receiving." OK, I was out of line and shouldn't have expected anything yet.
That Saturday arrived, and still no word from "Ashley", so I write again mentioning that it had been more than eleven days now, and I wanted a tracking number or status about a refund. I got a reply pretty quickly that said they were processing returns that very day. I got a tracking number later that day, but it didn't show picked up by USPS until the following Wednesday (granted Monday was the Columbus day holiday). It finally arrived and I was happy that the whole ordeal was behind me...
...Or so I thought. The second Sigelei quit working after a week. I'd had it. I went to wakeandvape and wrote up a product review for the Sigelei (which has yet to appear - I'm not surprised). I then went to mtbakervapor and ordered a Kanger SUBOX Mini Kit. It will be here on Tuesday, and I have no doubts that it will be fine. I won't pursue anything else on the Sigelei with wakeandvape. I just consider the $38+ I spent as a lesson learned.
Good luck to you in your choices.
