Ordering Direct?

[Mrsmac]

Just a quick quick question, I am wondering if anyone orders things direct from the manufacturer in china, of course I am assuming our vendors do, but if you have located the original manufacturers, have you ordered? and what was your experience?

I am thinking of bulk buying my Riva-T Atomizer

Never tried it Mrsmac, sorry. Have you thought about the group buy Perpy is organising at the moment ?

[Gordy]

usually the minimum quantity is quite high and you may also get hit by customs... who are you thinking of buying from ?

[kingofswords]

www.alibaba.com/ is the place to make contact with them....but have no idea how reliable they are

been looking at riva t's which appear to be exactly same as the aswell as giantomisers/ego w/APL-A580 ATOMIZER/eliq carto/f1 ce2
perhaps one of the more experience vapers can confirm or not?
might make it easier to find if it is.

Lol kingofswords, you hit the nail on the head. I was on the hunt for the Riva-T Atomizers, think I found out that a company called Beautiful Industry corp have branded it a Riva T Atomizer. The minimum order is 30 pieces and I have the invoice sitting here mulling over. Price is good and it appears to be the same as what I purchased and my review is based on. Typing the same name into google brings up their main site.

I am slightly hesitant though because I have had a few leaking issues which I am not impressed with

Hi Jemima, yes I am considering that as well but do not see the model I am after

[Jemima]

Theres a few other rated chinese sellers like healthcabin, if you take a look they might have them. Just if your not sure of buying off a manafacturer directly they could be worth looking at. Plus at buying 30 and you decide they arent really for you then you got a lot of spares lol

www.vaporhawk.com/auction_details.php?auction_search=1&auction_id=101021&start=10&limit=10&item_type=all&keywords_search=ego-w&results_view=open&form_search_proceed=Search&order_field=current_price&order_type=ASC works out about 3.50 with free shipping no idea if they any good though.

microcigs do direct to the public ones for about 2 quid i think but ive heard nothing but horror stories about their dealing with the public. ???

MrsM, do be a bit careful about buying from an unknown website. If you are going to risk it, make sure you pay via Paypal as you will have buyer protection.

[DiscoDes]

A lot of these sites on Alibaba only take bank transfers..... be very careful!

Also your risk of paying vat and duty will be greater.

Thanks guys, think I will leave it for now, I am so keen to find something that is practical and doesn't leak!
