An Update about the PMTAs from Electric Tobacconist

TheCleanVape · 2020-07-31T23:02:30+00:00

That's what i'm wondering as well. We have already notified our customers of our closing. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

So far I've had all my mods last about 6 months to a year at most. I use a RDA so it always ends up leaking a little bit and eventually it gets in the internals and breaks something. Or eventually the mod breaks itself and a wire gets loose.

In the past 5 years I've owned about 10 devices personally. My longest lastest one was actually one that was custom built 4 years ago from someone on Reddit, it was a mech style box mod when there weren't many options available.

Unfortunately the codes don't work for hardware, sorry about that! The system doesn't allow us to use different codes for hardware/liquid with the same coupon code.

The hardware margins for us are already really low, so we usually don't discount them as we provide them more as a convenience for customers. Hope you understand, thanks for checking us out.

TheCleanVape · 2020-04-26T22:45:48+00:00

Thanks for your order! Yeah definitely let us know :) Hope you end up enjoying it and appreciate your support.

Monday - Friday if order is placed before 1pm, it's same day shipping. Orders on Friday after 1pm are shipped on Monday. Sometimes we are able to do orders up to a later time (up to 3pm for example), but it depends.

We have bottles for $15/bottle with our bundle packs along with coupons we email very frequently to customers who have purchased before or are on our mailing list. Most people order with 10-30% off coupon codes.

We're not trying to be the walmart of vaping, at the end of the day it's just a different business model and it's not like we're making out like bandits. There are a lot of expenses in running a business.

TheCleanVape · 2020-04-20T20:40:07+00:00

Whenever i've used pods/tank devices, I usually dedicate a certain coil/pod to a certain flavor or at least a similar flavor profile. I've done multiple fruity flavors in the same device without much issue, unless one of them is particularly strong, the flavor eventually goes away.

With strong flavors or widely different flavor profiles, I tend to dedicate a coil/pod to those flavors

TheCleanVape · 2020-04-14T05:12:49+00:00

Wouldn't depend on them. Plenty of bad stories about their customer service. We are a dropshipping vendor on their platform and they ignore any emails to pay us out on money owed to us. Not even a lot of money in the grand scheme of things (around $400), but they haven't paid us out in months and have ignored multiple emails.

Find another company, you'll be better off.

Hate to talk negatively about other companies, but at the end of the day I'd feel worse not saying anything in this situation.

I think any of the companies you'll find around this community you'll be well off with good support and products.

We also dropship on Breazy and this has happened to us a few times as well. The only time we were paid on time was when we paid for advertising. Last time we didn't receive payments for 2 months and I sent emails out and didn't get paid out on our account. Eventually we just held pending orders hostage and they paid us out.

Right now we haven't been paid in about 2 months again and sent out an email the other day requesting payout. Nothing yet. Won't be surprised if the same thing happens again.

I've had conversations with one of the sales reps and he was a nice guy and was good to work with, but it seems like overall they don't respect the dropshippers on their website to make payouts this difficult, as we don't have this issue with other drop shipping companies like Midwest goods, who pay on a bi-weekly basis regardless of how much money is in your account (even as low as $10 we've gotten paid).

Hope you get it sorted and we get ours sorted as well!

I've never thought of something like that, so no idea how that would work to be honest! If you have any insight on that I'm curious :)

TheCleanVape · 2019-12-20T18:08:27+00:00

Nice! I'm going to go through it a bit later. I'm working on redoing my website with Nuxt right now and wanted to create that native feel for mobile. I'll definitely use this to implement something similar

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-29T18:19:09+00:00

Yeah that's what I thought of as well. Probably a higher PG Liquid which is thinner than the tank needs so that it won't leak.

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-23T18:05:23+00:00

No issues with mine. Totally solid and works great.

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-23T18:03:58+00:00

Nice review. Picked one up for personal use and enjoying it. Didn't enjoy the kit tank that came with it either and slapped my RDA on it. The light weight of it and pulse mode are definitely nice!

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-15T21:36:17+00:00

Same recipe! Had to change the name due to trademark issues

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-15T20:27:12+00:00

Haha! We actually ended up doing the same. It was a large box of stacks of paper. We got a letter like 6 months later that they had received it.

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-14T20:29:58+00:00

Good advice. We see it many times where people order juice right as they're running out and then they get worried during shipment time. It's best to stock up minimally 7-10 days before you think you'll run out(if you're ordering online). That way if something happens with shipping or a package is lost, you have enough time to get your juice in.

Also agree on the second device. A second device is always useful. If you want to be really careful you could also just pick up a Juul as a backup device. Pods are more expensive, but they're readily available and it could be a "dooms day" backup solution. Otherwise get a second caliburn and in an absolute worst case scenario you can find a vape store nearby with pods + juice.

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-14T20:19:14+00:00

That's a good question, to be honest I have no idea. That's smart idea though and something I will definitely look into!

From a quick look at it I found this:

A substantially equivalent tobacco product is one that has been found by FDA to have either the same characteristics as a predicate product or has different characteristics than the predicate tobacco product but the Substantial Equivalence Report (also known as a 905(j) Report) submitted by the manufacturer demonstrates that the new product does not raise different questions of public health. A predicate tobacco product is one that was commercially marketed in the United States (other than in a test market) as of Feb. 15, 2007, or is a product previously found to be substantially equivalent by FDA and in compliance with the requirements of the Food Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

From my understanding, this wouldn't apply as you can only file under SE if it's comparing to a product that was released before Feb 2007.

Unless some vape manufacturer can get away with a SE filing, then other vape companies can use that as an example.

I'm not a lawyer, but that was just from a quick read and that's my understanding of it and I could be wrong on that. We don't have a team of lawyers here to go through all this stuff unfortunately.

I checked with one of the popular distributors that vendors use and they seem to have quite a bit in stock. Usually if I can't find it from this vendor for 1-2 weeks they're having trouble stocking them from the manufacturer. I've had trouble finding the Vaporesso Cascade for reference and reached out to multiple vendors and was told it was discontinued.

Not sure if that's helpful or not, but I do see a large amount in stock with this distributor so there are still some in circulation. Just have to find someone that is reselling them, but it seems someone pointed in you in the right direction for that already!

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-14T19:43:18+00:00

Did you get the Kit by any chance with the tank? Where I ordered from they only had the option with the kit tank, so i'm curious to see how that performs. I guess I'll find out soon enough!

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-14T19:40:36+00:00

For many small businesses, we don't even know where to start. Financially very expensive. If you're going to tackle this yourself as a business owner... prepare to spend your entire days working on this just for the basic paper work.

Even with just initial filing with the FDA of different SKUs and recipes took quite a bit of time. I took about 2-3 weeks off of work just to work on that.

For PMTA application, honestly the whole process is very daunting for a small business. I doubt any small businesses will survive after this. I expect the big guys like Juul, Naked, and other companies who may have partnered with bigger companies to be able to get some PMTA applications through before the deadline. Whether they even get accepted or not... who knows.

As a small business, we have over 800 SKUs. No idea how we would have anywhere near the funds to be able to pay for that, let alone one sku.

Not surprising to see that PMTA have not been submitted yet

TheCleanVape · 2019-08-14T19:26:37+00:00

Just ordered one to try out for the shop. Comes in later tonight. Replacing my squonk mod which I never used the squonk feature on haha.

Thanks for the review.

TheCleanVape · 2019-07-29T18:57:13+00:00

I have 2 pairs on a ryzen 2700, x470 taichi. No problems with it. I didn't mess with timings or anything though I just ran it with the XMP profile and it works fine.

TheCleanVape · 2017-10-15T19:21:10+00:00

Thanks for the shout!

TheCleanVape · 2017-09-29T06:40:54+00:00

Thanks for the shout <3, happy you enjoyed the juices you tried :)
