I just realized your email didn't parse correctly. It should say "to meet Mark"

Sometimes when we ship orders, for whatever reason, the tracking number isn't sent out. Nothing is worse than not being able to track your online order!
I've created a new tracking lookup page. Here, with or without being logged in, you can enter your email and order number to find your tracking info any time during the process. https://www.vaportalk.com/us/order-tracking/

Christopher got a reaction from gadget in Inventory Delays
Hi Folks,
Just a quick message about our inventory status. A number of items are out of stock and we're waiting for shipments to arrive from the east coast, but the weather, is causing delays. Everything should arrive hopefully no later than Monday.
Thanks

I think we all should get "Thank you, Jeff" written on all our invoices And hand-drawn "Muffin-man" would be awesome on random packages!

I would like a "thank you Jeff" handwritten on my invoice from now on.

Christopher got a reaction from Adversarious1 in Still burnt
Turn down your wattage and move up slowly. Another thing, minor but important. When you put in a new coil, wait for the wicking inside the coil to saturate a bit. When I put in a new coil I usually take two or three hits without pushing the power button (this pulls liquid into the reservoir). Otherwise you're going to take a hit on an empty coil and you'll get that burnt hit. once the coil finally does have liquid, it'll take a little while to get the burnt taste a way.
Again turn down the wattage on your device, more isn't always better, new coil, saturate, then move up your wattage slowly until you learn what that coil can handle.

Christopher reacted to Walt in What's your thoughts on warranties?
For me, the warranty in place is fine. For small, inexpensive items like coils, batteries, and such I would not go through packaging them up and sending them back. I just know me. They would sit on a counter someplace. For mods, tanks, and other more expensive items, if the manufacturer's warranty is honored, I'm fine. Most things fail right away or not at all. Regarding extended warranties, I'm just not a fan. Again per the failure mode of especially electronic gear, an extended warranty has never been a good bet in my books. If it were washing machines with a kabillian moving parts than probably.

I have nothing had but great luck with the VT store!!
My next favorite is Central Vapors because they have a don't like it -return it policy on both juices and equipment no questions asked. (see here) As far as a bad experience I dealt with a Chinese company that I bought a tank from and it was DOA... the hoops they wanted me to jump through to replace it made it not worth the effort. Needless to say I never shopped there again.
Sorry for the hit and run posts but I'm trying to get our new house closing taken care of and get moved and I can only pop in to see what's going on with my VT family...I can't wait until we're finally settled and I can keep up better.

Anything that is still 80/20 pg/vg as the wife still uses cartos and can't do high vg.

Thanks I really appreciate that. With the new warehouse everything should be much better but even I have to admit, there are just days when I look at a returned order (incorrect) and think "what was I doing" lol To err is human.

Christopher reacted to Tam in What's your thoughts on warranties?
To be honest, there have been a few hiccups with the Vapor Talk store on occasion, but every time that happened, I've gotten excellent customer service in return. The erroneous order was made right, an apology was given, and every effort was made to ensure that customer service was handled in a professional manner. I don't expect special treatment but I get it just the same, and you give that same level of service to all your customers. That's why I continue to shop at the VT store and recommend it to others.

Yes, it would be optionally. Though I think currently our 30 day is pretty decent as far as vape stores go. The VT store's new warranty is:
What does the Vapor Talk warranty not cover?

Please do not attempt to return old batteries), coils (DOA only), or any other accessories on the device itself.

We've always been pretty good about warranties but the gist is, so long as you didn't run it over and it's honestly just being a POS, we'll replace it and go after the vendor for you. (For MOST products. There's a few exceptions on certain brands)

1. What has your experience with warranties been with other vendors? Some of the positives, negatives, example setters
So far I've been very lucky in that when I've had trouble with a product, the few times this happened, I had excellent customer service from the three different vendors. One was for a defective tank (the vendor replaced it once I returned the defective one). Another was for a mod with an internal battery that was DOA -- vendor replaced it with no problem once they received the defective mod. And then there were a few orders where I got something different from what I ordered. An apology was issued, was told to keep the items that were sent (they still worked with the tanks I had but were different from what I ordered), and the correct merchandise was sent out immediately.
The one negative vendor/customer service experience was where the vendor sent my $176.00 order somewhere else, sent me one 30 ml bottle of something I didn't order, laughed it off, and sent what I originally ordered -- two weeks later despite me paying extra for expedited service on my original order. The only apology I got was a, "oh, sorry about that." This one happened early on when I was just starting out so I was ordering a lot of juice to figure out what I liked. The $176.00 was an average of what I ordered every two weeks or so at that time. That vendor never saw another cent from me, and I also stopped recommending them to friends.
2. What do you feel/expect out of a warranty as it relates to vaping? (For example do you feel no warranty in coils is fair? What about batteries and eliquids?)
No warranty on coils is fine as you just get bad coils from time to time, and it's all too easy for people to screw things up on their own with a coil. Too hard to figure out if it's user error or a manufacturer's defect. No warranties on eliquid because taste is subjective, however, if you get a bottle that has a cracked seal or is broken in shipping... I've had that happen and had to send a picture of the damaged bottle. Then, the vendor sent me a replacement as well as a whole extra bottle of the eliquid and a couple of little doo-dads as their way of saying, "sorry, here's a little something extra to say we value you as a customer." Batteries, I would like a warranty on those, but maybe it would be best to go with #3 below.
3. How do you feel about spending extra for a no hassle extended warranty? (Take Best Buy's warranty service for example which is border line no questions asked)
For me, if I were that worried about a warranty, I'd welcome the chance to be given a choice to buy an extended warranty. That would be cool.
