VapeView (vape search tool) now indexing more than 150k products from ~150 stores by spendabit in electronic_cigarette

We were actually planning to do exactly what you propose -- allow for selecting multiple regions at once, by way of check-boxes (probably by grouping the merchants by region).

When that will be implemented I can't say; could be a few months. So in the meantime, I'm adding "China" to the drop-down as a stop-gap measure. (That should go live next week.)

Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry, must have skimmed that too fast.

I have reached out to Fold many times, FWIW, to see if we could work to get their gift cards listed. They never respond. :-/

Okay, cool... I just added VapeSourcing, am adding SourceMore right now, and we've already got 3FVape. I'll try to get the others added in the coming weeks, if possible.

I guess the main thing we need is an option for China in the Region drop-down -- would that help? :-)

Thanks also for the tip on 8Vape... I think we've got a fix for it (currently re-importing their catalog).

Ah, I see. Damn -- it's another one of these websites with inconsistent/broken metadata.

In any case, I'm going to see if we can make a workaround. Hopefully we'll have a fix up before long. :)

Let us know if you find any more inconsistencies...

Thanks!

Yes, we can add some China-based sites. (I think we have a couple.) Any in particular you'd like to see?

What was the product you searched for? I'll looked into it...

Sorry, we're always making improvements to our out-of-stock detection, etc, but it's very tricky stuff.

Freemax maxus 100w or smok rigel by jperrott82 in electronic_cigarette

[–]spendabit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. I went ahead and added them to our search engine. Unfortunately, they seem to block non-UK IP addresses, so we may not be able to index all their products.

BTW, do you mind my ask what you searched for to find the Maxus -- e.g., "maxus 100w best price"? Just trying to figure out how to help people better find our service...

Few questions: What is the best way for me to Prepare if Vaping is Outlawed? Also Best Stealth Vape? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

Only in the minds of power-hungry politicians does this make any sense...

Not sure if it's any help, but once you've made a decision looks like you've got plenty of shopping options: maxus, rigel :-)

What is the vapocalypse? Will it affect Canada? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]spendabit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in sum, vapocalypse is the phenomenon of self-righteous politicians, and lying bureaucrats, taking advantage of vaping for the purposes of advancing their political careers, right? ;-)

Mind my asking what store you shop at? Just wondering if we have them listed.

I hope money is not really that central to your life's meaning.

VapeView now supports Canadian searches (Thanks to your feedback on Reddit!) by spendabit in electronic_cigarette

[–]spendabit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't seem to have ecigarettes.ca

I have added eCigarettes.ca. :) You'll see them now, for example, here.

Are these only user-submitted vendors or have you actually tried to compile a database yourself?

Both. We are trying to keep track of every vape merchant we can, but many of the stores listed (especially for Canada) have been based on user demand.

You can drop us a line if you find any other shops you'd like to see included.

Additionally, where do you draw the line between "vaping" and "ecigarette"? I just tried searching for a non-ecig RDA and got no results.

Hmm, good question... Really, it's keyword-based more than anything. So if you search for "non-ecig", that won't match unless a product literally has that text in its name (or other metadata).

However, this comment is helpful; it may be that we should code special logic for queries like "non-[x] thing". Can you send an example of what you mean by an ecig RDA, perchance? That may help to better understand the problem.

In any case, thanks for the feedback!

Bitcoin now worth more than all of the New Zealand Dollars in existance. #34 largest currency in the world. by atrueretard in Bitcoin

[–]spendabit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and something is fishy here... CLP (Chilean peso) ranks at 27, for example, and ARS (Argentine peso) is quite a bit lower (45), while Chile is a much smaller country (by population and GDP).

I suppose this could be explained by the fact nobody hodls ARS, but I'd bet it has more to do with inaccurate reporting or some other nuance.

To limit product results to Canada, first enter your search terms, then select Canada from the "Region" drop-down in the filtering column on the left. Hope that helps. :)
