New Vape Gear Stand

[Fockskey]

(Moderators) - I'm not sure if I have put this in the right section, so please move it if you would prefer it somewhere more appropriate.

With all the gear that I am accumulating, I decided I really do need somewhere to store it all, but still be accessible to use. So after looking on the internet at the various people that make them I decided to go with Ecig Stands in France. I received it a couple of weeks ago and thought I would show some photos to you all and give you an insight into their wares.

I didn't have a clue as to what design I wanted, but I had a rough idea of the size and type of wood. I ended up choosing a similar to one that was shown on the website, just changing some of the hole sizes etc.

The company was set up by a husband and wife team originally from the Manchester Martin and Sue. I dare say some people on here will know them, but for those that don't, please read on. Martin is a carpenter by trade of some 26yrs and Sue handles all the front end, dealing with the orders and correspondence stuff. As I understand it Sue was an ex smoker that started up vaping and in 2013 Sue noticed that nowhere could she buy anything to stand her vape gear on. She explained this to Martin and he fashioned up a stand for Sue, the rest is history.



The design I opted for is a two tiered affair, with the mods mainly on the second tier and the atties, batteries, drip tips and juice bottles on the lower tier. There are two drawers at the front to hold all the bits that you accumulate, (well some of it, in my case). The holes where the atties sit have a small hole for the 510 connector to go into, this ensures that the atties sit on their base and all of the holes have felt placed in the bottom; so there is no chance of scratching those expensive RBA's and mods. The holes for the juice bottles are perfect for the standard 30ml bottles everyone sells



The wood I opted for was natural oak, this was then given a couple of coats of lacquer. The total cost of the finished stand was £100 including delivery, a bargain for something of this quality. It was sent via a French courier service and as soon as it was posted Sue sent through a tracking number. I had to wait about a week for it to arrive, but it was very well packaged with no damage, something you worry about when ordering outside the UK.




SUMMING UP
I only had to wait around three weeks from time of order to time of completion, but I think they will get busier as more people see their goods. Sue handles all the correspondence and keeps you updated through the process. Nothing is paid up front, Sue sends you some photo's when Martin has it completed and only then does she require payment. The stand has been finished to a high standard and the grain of the wood is lovely. It was a pleasure to place an order with people who are very customer orientated. Top marks to Martin and Sue at Ecig Stands of France. 


P.S. I hope this helps someone that may be looking to buy a stand. I did not want to put in a link, but if you do a search you will find them.

Lovely stand Fockskey!

I am another happy customer of Sue and Martin's, when I received my stand I posted pics of it everywhere - in fact my stand is their current profile pic on Facebook

I'm pretty sure it's ok to post the link to their website: www.ecig-stands.com

Seriously worth checking out!

Yes the drawers were the main reason for going with this design Super-Shiney.

Just beautiful. I have been admiring his work for a while now. I am definitely going to order something from him. Once we have moved home and I know where I will want to place my stand, I can then choose the design etc. they are things of great beauty and virtually no one else seems to make them.
