Throwback Thursday: Verified Vendors
submitted almost 7 years ago by ApexifiedSuckling from the teats of Daenerys Targaryen

Check out the new and improved Vendors List.

 

It's not 100% but that's where you come in...

This is part of the project to revamp parts of the sidebar after it was pointed out that so many of the resources in sidebar and wiki are ancient the idea is to gather feedback from the community to improve the information and resources, making it more useful for everyone who comes here.

 

Verified Vendors

If you've been here for awhile you might remember the old Verified Vendors list which, while useful in some cases, was rather barren and required vendors to go through a process to become "Verified" which basically just meant they were willing to take the cumbersome steps to be part of it.

The problem was that it didn't really answer the question of "Where can I buy flavors/nic/bottles/etc?" when a helpful member of the community would direct someone there. It was missing many of the most used and recommended vendors and was basically just incomplete and unchanged for years.

 

How you can help

If you know of a vendor not on the list that should be, drop a comment below. This is especially useful if you shop somewhere outside of the US, as most of the vendors I've included are based in the US and the rest are vendors I've seen recommended here.

Remember, no links to vendors who sell nicotine (just mention the name)

 

Weekly Vendor Reviews

One of the best things about the old Verified Vendors list was that every vendor had a review thread attached. Currently all of those review threads are ancient but I plan to post new ones every week, starting with the vendors who were actually verified and then working through the rest week by week.

Here's an example of what that looked like.

 

So please let me know what you think & don't forget to vote on the First Order Flavors

Slight update to our listing - can you change our location to UK as we have never been based on the USA :)

We also have several one shots too

Of course! Fixed. And glad to see you’re still active. I’ll be sure to tag you when your review thread goes up.

Thanks :)

Trying to remember if it used to be something we had, but wouldn't it be useful to show which stores carry which brands?

That was how the old one worked but even then it wasn't up to date and it made the table so large it wouldn't fit on the page so you can imagine how it would look if all the brands were listed (e.g. DIYVaporSupply has 32 different brands)

Maybe a Google docs spreadsheet would work better? It'd admittedly be a pain to maintain, though.

Yeah I put something like that together but never got bored enough to finish. It was tedious work and as you said, it would be a pain to maintain!

Very nice and well put together. Now if we can only get people to actually use it!

As a person fairly new to this sub, and very new to DIY, I have read everything in the side bar. However, a lot of the stuff is two years old. I know that doesn't mean it isn't good info, but as I go through old posts many users talk about "how much better we are at this stuff now". It makes me question if what I'm reading is still valid. Like, can I assume that a flavor review from two years ago is still an accurate review?

I hesitate to ask questions around here, because I have seen a fair bit of salt from users for "simple" questions. A lot of the "don't you know how to search?" stuff.

So, after this comment I will go back to just lurkin' and learnin'.

It hasn’t been stickied lately, but every week there is a discussions/questions thread where you shouldn’t find any salt for any kind of question.

I have been watching those threads for a few weeks, and you're right, it is pretty low sodium. There seems to be significantly less traffic through those threads, so most questions end up with one opinion/perspective at most(at least from my short time watching them). Not always a bad thing, just saying.

People who might want more dialogue type discussion with more immediate feedback can try the discord server or the chat rooms here. They are a bit more effective for conversation. I’ve posted here and had hundreds of views with just a few comments. Diy vape juice is kind of a weird subjective study. It doesn’t always lend itself to sharing the same way that other things do. Come to the discord and play.

I appreciate the suggestion. I have kind of picked up on the subjectivity of DIY juice, much like cooking. That's one of the things I am liking about it. I love to cook and look for fun flavor combinations. Cheers!

There's one from quebec missing... Jean cloud vape. Then some canadian ones... Fusion flavors. Infinite vapor (altbough its one to avoid). Theravape in the 'peg has a diy outlet.

For Canada, I've shopped with infinite vaper (Kingston, ON), FlavoursToGo (Airdrie, AB) and Flavourfog (Spruce Grove, AB), and enjoyed my experience with each.

I will edit and format when I get to work to let it jive with your table in the sidebar!

EDIT:

Check the sidebar!

Thank you for the suggestions. I saved the links but I need you to get rid of them now (reddit policy: no links to vendors selling eliquid/nicotine)

Appreciate it :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd also appreciate it if you'd get rid of the link (per reddit policy: no links to vendors that sell nic/eliquid)
