The Catch: Coupon code "memorial"

The Scoop

Not seeing what you want? Well, how about 11% off anything in the entire store?

The Low Down

I ended up going out of town yet again for the weekend, so yet again, the second post in a row I apologize for not updating more regularly. Things should be back on track for a while.

I've used eCigBestSave several times for random odds and ends and they've always had fast delivery and excellent customer service. I really do like this company and highly recommend using them if they have what you need.

5/23/2013 - Vivi Nova V5 @ $6.12

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 23rd, 2013
Vendor: FastTech
The Catch: Ships from China. Shipping may take a week to get to you.

The Scoop

The Vivi Nova V5 3.5ml, the latest creation in the Vivi Nova brand name. If you've used a Vivi Nova you know how these perform. This one comes with a steel tank protector, keeping your Vivi Nova safe from cracks and other mishaps.

The Low Down

I've been out of town this weekend and without internet, I apologize for not posting and will start scouring harder for more deals.

FastTech is a Chinese company that delivers merchant prices to customers. They have great customer service and return policies. I love this company. However since they ship from Honk Kong, shipping can take up to 12 days to get to the USA, but at these prices its well worth the wait.

Also if you get your order above $15USD, they offer free USPS shipping!

05/16/2013 - 30% off of Everything in the store.

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 16th, 2013
Vendor: Panda eCigs
The Catch: Requires coupon code "madpanda"

The Scoop

Need something? Batteries, CE4s, CE5s, Kanger Protanks, T3s, cases, whatever. Everything is 30% off at Panda eCigs for the next 24 hours. Take a look, I'm sure you'll find something you need.

Also, they offer free shipping for orders over $30!

The Low Down

Panda eCigs has been on my radar for a while, and I was hoping to pimp them out eventually. I originally heard about them when they sent the reddit community free disposable eCigs (Njoy king clones, pretty good deal ;).

I've ordered a handful of things from them in the past, every time the shipping was lightning fast. Then again they're located just 50 miles from me. I picked up a Kanger ProTank and an extra eGo battery for my dad. You can't really go wrong with this deal.

05/14/2013 - 3ml & 6ml Polyproplyene Tank @ $7.99 & $8.99/each

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 14th, 2013
Vendor: Valley View Vapes
The Catch: Long shipping delay. See low down for details.

The Scoop

Tank systems are the superior vape, or at least I and others believe so. Cleaner taste, smoother draws and great airflow. What more could you want? However you don't have to take my word for it, at $7.99 this system comes with a pre punched Boge 510 cartomizer AND a drip tip to get you started. Make sure you select the prepunched cartos before adding to the cart as punching them yourself takes a bit of 'finesses' to get right. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches and wasted cartos this way.

These tanks are made from Polyproplyene, which means your favorite citrus "tank killer" flavor won't destroy them. So load up that Ecto Cooler or Arnold Palmer (my favorite ;) from Mt Baker Vapor and go to town!

The Low Down

Ok so Valley View Vapes. They have some odd methods of doing business. First you must register to see the prices and full inventory. Secondly, registration takes time to "approve". When I put mine in, it took almost 24 hours for them to approve my account. Since he makes every tank system by hand, there is a 7-10 day lead time before shipping out. Perhaps that's why they put the registration delay? I can only speculate.

Secondly, the owner is on vacation until the 24th, so even at the earliest. You cannot place an order until then.

Even with both annoyances, the price is just too good to beat. I will pick up two for myself and a pack of Boge Cartos ($7.50 pre punched, not a bad price) to go with my new toy. Provided this order goes well I may get one of the 'new' Pyrex tanks he offers as well. Well, maybe for my birthday.

5/13/2013 - eGo Starter kit @ $20.86

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 13th, 2013
Vendor: Fast Tech
The Catch: Ships from China. Shipping may be slow.

The Scoop

Instead of talking it up, I'll just tell you what you get in this deal and their normal price by themselves.

• 2x 1100mAh eGo Batteries ($20-30/each)
• 1x eGo branded Case ($9.99)
• 1x eGo Charger ($4.99)
• 2x CE4+ Clearomizers, normally branded as CE5 in the USA. ($4.99/each)
• 1x USB Charger ($7.99)
• 1x Empty 10ml needle bottle (prices vary, but around $0.49 normally)

Thats about $85 at normal retail prices. Even if you come down on the price of the batteries to $15/each you STILL come out on top with this deal. 

The only downside is it takes a while for shipping. What are you waiting for? Father's day comes up soon. 

The Low Down

Ok its FastTech again. I'll be honest with you I had a deal lined up but the website is 'closed' for vacation and they have a pain in the butt registration process right now. Once that's cleared up we'll have some better deals. Anyways, FastTech is awesome. I've received several orders from them with no hitches within 2 weeks of payment. I just put in an order for an Android Tablet and a 4x 18650 battery backup today as well. If you can stomach the shipping these guys are great.

As for the deal, just look at it. Its incredible.

5/10/2013 - 900mAh eGo CE4 Kit @ $8.53/each

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 10th, 2013
Vendor: Fast Tech
The Catch: Ships from China. Shipping may be slow.

The Scoop

We all need backups to our favorite vaping device. It happens, we forget to charge our batteries, or sit down with it in our pocket or as I recently did take a sharp right turn and watch as it slides out the window into a busy street. Instead of having to decide if you want to brave a busy intersection or stop by the convince store and pick up a pack just keep a backup with you!

This is a fixed voltage 900mAh eGo kit that includes a CE4 atomizer and comes with a shorty USB charger. Pick up one just for piece of mind or the "just in case" factor. Or pick some up and hand them out to your smoker friends that are still on the fence about switching over. At $8.52/each its a great deal.

The Low Down

Its a fixed voltage device. So if you like to fiddle with your vape, this may not be for you. It works and it works well for what it does. I like to pick these things up and give them to friends and family that may want to switch from cigarettes to vaping. Just give them some great eJuice (I always hand out and recommend fruity flavors that 'pop') and this kit and sit back and watch their eyes light up. These also work as a great backup. I keep 2-3 in strategic locations (car, home and two at work) as a just in case factor. So far they've come in quite handy.

FastTech is at it again. They provide almost direct to consumer pricing. I've now ordered from them several times for vape supplies and small eletronics and I've never been unhappy with my order.

05/08/2013 - Smoktech Vivi Tank Rebuildable Clearomizer @ $6.90/each

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 8th, 2013
Vendor: Health Cabin
Coupon: ECF for an additional 5% offThe Catch: Discontinued. Accepts DOA returns only. Also ships from China, may be delayed. 

The Scoop

Everyone praises their rebuildable atomizers (RBAs) as the best possible vape out there. The ability to create your own coil and use your own choice of wick is unparalleled in the vaping world. You decide your vape experience and how it tastes. The Smoktech Vivi Tank is a great 'starter' RBA. Its easy to handle and rebuild wick/wire assemblies with this model. The 4ml~ tank means you don't have to keep dripping, just keep vaping. It even comes assembled so you can start vaping on it right away!

If you want to start getting into the RBA culture, this is a good starter. At $6.90 its a cheap experiment.

Also they have a deal on a 50pc of prebuilt wick and wires for $27.00. They range from 1.7ohm to 5.0ohm. Its a great way to stock up and see how a proper wick and wire is built for the Viv Nova RBA.

Act soon, once they're gone they won't be getting more in!

EDIT: When I made this post, it slipped my mind. Health Cabin is located in China and ships from there. Due to current DHL and China Airmail policies, do not order any products from China with batteries in them. Also being located in China may delay your shipping times.

The Low Down

First of all, this is an RBA. If you don't really know what you're doing, you can and will destroy your battery. Or worse. If you are unfamiliar with basic electronics or squeamish about fiddling with your tools do not buy an RBA, just stick to the normal stuff.

Now with that said, if you do want to get into an RBA these are a decent start. Personally I don't like the airflow on them, it's a bit too tight, similar to a CE4 Clearomizer. However for what it is, its a great starter RBA. Read, read read read, watch videos, read some more. RBAs are not easy to start with and you can easily destroy your equipment trying to stick a badly wrapped coil on your mod. Absorb every bit of information before starting. While it may sound like a lot of work, the rewards are very much worth it when you can vape on a sub 1ohm atomizer and produce clouds of vapor so thick, San Francisco mornings get jealous.

As for the company Health Cabin itself, I can't say I've dealt with them much. I've only ordered a few things from them in the past and never had any troubles. I've also haven't found any scathing reviews about them either so I assume they're on the straight and narrow. I'll be picking up 2 or 3 of these for my own use and maybe that 50pc pack just because I'm lazy.

05/06/2013 - CE6 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (7-Pack) @ $12.77 ($1.82/each)

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 6th, 2013
Vendor: Fast Tech
The Catch: Ships from China. May be delayed.

The Scoop

Who doesn't need extra clearomizers? Want to try a new flavor on a fresh atomizer? That'll be $4.99/each + shipping please. Now you can 'waste' a clearomizer on a potentially bad flavor, for example Blue Cheese and not have to worry about the cost. For the normal price of an atomizer head replacement you can get an entirely new unit!

The Low Down

While they call them CE6, they're what is normally called CE5 by other vendors, or CE4v2's. The naming convention of your typical clearomizer is well, a pain. These are standard CE5s and the majority of replacement heads will fit perfectly. The packs may contain duplicate colors, all the same color or one of each. Its pretty random, but most of the time it will be one of each.

The ohm resistance listed is between 2.9 and 3.8 ohms, which is pretty high. Though in my order it ranged between 2.5 and 3.0. Removing wicks from them will reduce the resistance. However since you can replace the atomizers, if you have some low ohm atomizers you can use them. At this price it's ok to experiment.

As always Fast Tech is in China and ships from there, so shipping will be delayed.

05/05/2013 - Panasonic CGR18650CH Rechargeable 2250mAh 2 Pack @ $10.03

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 5th, 2013
Vendor: Fast Tech
The Catch: Ships from China. May be delayed.

The Scoop

The highly recommended Panasonic CGR18650CH batteries at a GREAT price. These aren't some cheap no name batteries that are 'mislabeled' on their mAh rating, or will blow up in your charger. These are the real deal Panasonic 18650 batteries. They're durable and last for a very long time even for heavy vapers. Pick these up, toss em in your Vamo and vape like you haven't vaped before!

The Low Down

Having both the Panasonic and eFest batteries, I prefer my Panasonics for outings. They last for freaking ever, even if I'm sucking on my vamo like a lollipop all day. I've never had a real issue with one causing issues that I couldn't contribute to misuse on my own part.

They also carry the protected versions of the CGRs, the NCR for $13.35 for a double pack and the CGR 3400 mAh batteries for $16.56. I may pick up some of the 3400's just to see how long they last!

Fast Tech is quickly becoming my go to vape hardware site. They have excellent customer service. However since they ship from China mainland, shipments can take quite a while and may be intercepted by customs. If this happens they typically will just resend another one to you.

05/03/2013 - Vivi Nova @ $4.79/each

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 3rd, 2013
Vendor: Fast Tech
The Catch: Ships from China. May be delayed.

The Scoop

Everyone loves the Vivi Nova. Its a simple clearo system with a large tank and decent vapor production. The replaceable heads make it easy and simple to rebuild and keep on vaping. It holds 3ml of eLiquid so you can vape all day on it with ease. The wide mouth also makes filling it simple and easy. What else more can I say? The Vivi Nova is awesome.

The Low Down

Vivi Novas range between $8.99 on sale and $14.99 normally. They come with two atomizer heads and are a joy to vape with. At $4.79/each its a difficult deal to pass up. Also with free worldwide shipping that $4.79 is what you get out the door.
Since it ships from China, your delivery may be delayed or require customs payments. If you're experienced with international shipping this isn't news to you. Its just the cost of doing business.
But seriously, $4.79 for a Vivi? Sign me up for a few!

05/02/2013 - USB Passthrough @ $14.99

Click here The Deal

Date: May 2nd, 2013
Vendor: Discount Vapers

The Scoop

We've all been there, you go to take a hit of your favorite eJuice and nothing happens. You can taste it, but theres no vapor. Your battery died. Don't let it happen to you with a USB Passthrough. Without a battery to lose its charge, the USB passthrough draws its power directly from your computers USB port. They're standard eGo threaded and come with an extra long 45 inch cable.

The Low Down

USB Passthroughs are a must have for the computer vaper or the office worker. While I prefer my low ohm setup on my modified vamo, I keep a USB passthrough around just in case. It's come in handy quite a few times when I forget to charge my batteries. Even if you don't plan on using it all the time its a great idea to keep one within arms reach for the 'just in case' factor. At $14.99 its a cheap safety net.

Discount Vapers has been around in the vape game for quite some time. Their customer service is top notch and they're cool guys to ask questions from. I highly recommend buying from them.

05/01/2013 - Vamo VW Mod @ $26.99 (Body Only)

Click here for The Deal

Date: May 1st, 2013
Vendor: Vapor Break
The Catch: Must register to see real price.

The Scoop

The Vamo v2 is a heck of a mod. Being variable wattage over variable voltage means every vape from start to finish will be the same. Its also heavy and has a great feel in your hands while you vape. It uses one or two 18350 batteries or a single 18650 battery for its power source making it easy to keep charged on the go! You won't go wrong picking one of these up at this price, variable wattage is the vape of the future.

The Low Down

I personally use a Vamo daily, three in fact since I'm lazy and don't like switching atomizers for different flavours. If you've never had a variable wattage device before, you should pick one up. It vapes like none other.

The company is located in China and will ship from there, so shipping times may be a bit longer than you're use to. However at this price, it's worth the wait. Customs shouldn't be an issue as long as you don't pick up any eJuice from them.

Since this is a body only deal, it won't come with batteries. They sell 18650's for $2.81/each as well, so if you need them you can pick them up at the same time. (Don't forget a charger!)

Total price for me came up as $31.26 after shipping to California. This is a deal you may not want to pass up!

04/30/2013 - Kanger Protank $16.99/each

The Deal

April 30th, 2013

Vendor: Exhale Vapors

The Scoop

The Vape world has been in a frenzy lately about the new Kanger Protank. Some claim it produces the best vape they've ever had. What makes this atomizer different than the rest? For starters it comes with a glass tank. All of your citrus flavors and their tank destroying goodness can be vaped without worry. The Kanger Protank also contains a dual coil atomizer, doubling your vapor production. Ever want to fill an entire room with vapor? Now you can.

The Low Down

At $16.99/each, this is the cheapest Kanger ProTank I've found on the market. If you haven't tried one of these before I highly recommend it, it vapes like no other. While it doesn't have the novelty of the iClear 30's swivel mouth piece, it is a bottom feeder wick system. I recommend picking one up, even if it's to see what all the buzz is about!

04/29/2013 - Vogue 2 port USB battery backup $11.42

The Deal

April 29th, 2013

Vendor: FastTech 

Coupon Code: TENOFF for 5% off. 

The Scoop

It has happened to us all. We go to vape and the button starts blinking, or nothing comes out. The battery is dead and you forgot to bring backups. Well don't worry, if you have one of these babies you can charge up on the go! It uses 4x 18650 batteries (something we all have plenty of) as its power source and has 2x USB ports for charging vape units or even your cell phone and other gadgets! Battery backup units like these normally run between $30 and $60/each on Amazon. This baby is a cool $11.42 (without the 18650 batteries sadly).

The Low Down

I'm not 100% familiar with FastTech. While I am ordering one myself, they only accept paypal as a payment option and they are located in Hong Kong which could delay shipping. Regardless, the price is just too good not to scoop one of these up. Worse comes to worse, it could double as a 4x battery holder.

04/29/2013 - iClear 30 Dual Coil Clearomizer @ $10.75

The Deal

April 29th, 2013

Vendor: Smart Vapes

The Scoop

Smartvapes.com is running a promotion for the new iClear 30 Dual Coil Clearomizers for the low price of $10.75/each! I've used these things and they're GREAT! The vapor production is huge and the swivel head makes it much easier to vape! I highly recommend picking up a few iClear 30's!

The Low Down

SmartVapes.com has been around a while and I haven't heard anything bad about them other than the normal shipping issues and random customer complains they think is the end of the world. (Look, things get broken in transit. It happens.) While I won't be scooping one of these up since I have several already (I really like the iClear 30) I recommend trying at least one. At this price, you can't go wrong.
