Purchasing A S&B Vape

[Lion Zion]

Greetings FC community. This will be my second post after lurking for a bit.
I have cruised through some of the forums and while I have not
decided on portable vs desktop, I have narrowed it down to either the S&B Plenty or Mighty.

Like any consumer, I would like to find the best pricing and or vendor to order from.
I live in CA and have found that the FC supported vendors all seem to carry S&B products.
My question is if there is a vendor that offers a FC discount on S&B products.
If not, would it be better to purchase directly from S&B? They are in CA as well.

I have not found any objection to asking this sort of question here. However if its not o.k.,
mods please delete and apologies in advance.

Randy at puffit up will give best price just shoot him an email and let him know u member and what's the best price and he will give you best deal. And great warranty and super fast shipping..

Go to the main page. Then go to sponsors and contests/supporting retailers. Click on the individual vendors. The information your seeking will be all right there.

 

[Lion Zion]

Thanks Morty for the response. I have attempted to do this on several of the vender's sites
and have gotten to the part of the order where the FC discount code would be
entered only to see the msg. "discounts codes do not apply to Storz & Bickel products"

Thanx also to subway 13029. I'll hit Randy up when I'm ready to pull the trigger.

That's a bummer. What's crazy about that is I was looking at purchasing a Plenty a few months ago, and as you can see on Vapornations' vendor page it says no discounts for the Volcano, Armored and VapeXhale products. When I was eyeing the Plenty then, anytime I put it in my cart, I was able to get the discount. Just tried it now and it says,"Coupon codes not valid with Storz & Bickel, Firefly, Pax or Ascent products". Damn, maybe I should of pulled the trigger when I had the chance, lol. Anyways, maybe they should update thier vendor page to reflect these changes. My bad Lion Zion. Sorry for the mistake homie.

I couldn't agree more with @subway13029. Let him know you're a member here and Randy will give you the best price. And with that comes the aforementioned fast shipping, puffitup.com is the amazon prime of the vape world. They also have great customer service.

Thanks so much and no apology necessary. A ringing endorsement for PIU and Randy.
This is really helpful. I love fc already.

I'm off to the Haze V3 forum, as folks were comparing it favorably to the Mighty.

If you use the code PEACE2U you can get 20 percent off any item at www.thevapelifestore.com That includes a mighty for 320 dollars shipped. Not sure how long that sale will last.

 

[Lion Zion]

Sweet! Thanks so much.

If anybody discounts S&B vapes, I rather believe that this is a voilation of their agreement with S&B who fair trades their items.

All sites on which I have looked for S&B products, any discount codes are noted to not be applicable to S&B products.

If you find a legitimate vendor, who can be relied on to be selling new OEM vapes and not counterfeits or refurbished, for a discount then grab it and run cause its not common in my experience.

Look closely though...what I do find good on-line vape stores do with S&B is that they will bundle in free carrying cases and the like as this protects S&B pricing but does provide higher value for your money.

Crazy but true story... I once ordered Mighty accessories from that website but didn't actually order a Mighty as I already had one. They accidentally sent me a brand new Mighty. I never said anything and they never said anything...free Mighty. Btw I looked it up legally they couldn't ask for it back anyway. I gave my old Mighty to a friend and kept the new one. The Mighty they sell is definitely not counterfeit and they claim all over their website to be authorized resellers any not to buy from eBay and amazon.

I posted this sale on reddit and since they have a Haze v3 for 175 I asked if the rep from that company can verify that they are legit resellers.

We each decide for our selves what we can do and sleep well at night.

[Lion Zion]

Wow. This is very interesting stuff indeed.

Given the above, I sure don't want to save a few bucks, only to find that I have
a bootleg product and no warranty. Maybe best to purchase directly from S&B.

Well they seem like a big enough operation that they wouldn't really miss it especially since they didn't even notice, and I had a friend in need.

If you don't want to get it from that website maybe contact randy from puffitup on the best price you can get, he is known to help people out. I think you can find a legit one for less than full price if you look around. Not that I don't think that website is legit I do actually but you gotta do what you're comfortable with. I messaged the Haze rep on reddit and asked if they are an authorized seller for their product which I think we'll be a good indication.

They do have reviews on YouTube and seem to have a bit of a following and some satisfied customers. I think the biggest knock on them is their selection. They seem to be missing some good vapes while carrying some junk.

 

[Lion Zion]

I absolutely want to support the vendors on our list of
sponsors. I will shoot Randy an email.

I can assure you that nothing on puffitup is counterfeit or bootleg. I've heard they do an excellent job dealing with warranty issues, above and beyond the manufacturer's warranty process.

Just an update from Scott on the Haze they are selling:

They are not purchasing them directly from us but I suspect they are getting them through one of our distributors. They are following our guidelines on pricing as well. They have it marked $249.99 and are offering a promo. We allow that for limited time promotions like this one. I suspect this is their labor day sale.

We will also price match this if you would feel safer coming to the source.

Thanks for checking guys!

175 for a Haze if anyone is interested.

the vendors don't have much to play with on the price of S&B stuff, but you can usually get a really good deal on any additional items on the order, if you speak directly to someone.

Last week i saw a fully intact plenty going away on ebay for 90€
Volcano digits for 230€

If there is something broken, send it to SnB. Often they can repair it.

The ones on eBay can be counterfeit, when it comes to the Mighty that's not uncommon. The ones from thevapelifestore are not counterfeit I know because I have one from them. If someone wants to verify they will have a valid warranty which I bet they would you can email storz and bickel and the vapelifestore to ask. Scott already confirmed the Haze they sell is legit.

 

[Lion Zion]

I had an excellent email exchange with Jake at Puffitup.

We are in the same state (CA), they seem to have a deep inventory and product knowledge.
Instead of being upsold, I was actually recommended several less expensive options as
an alternative to the S&B rigs. Way to go.

I want to thank the members above who recommended them. They
gave me the feeling that any commerce done with them will be a five star experience.

I have appreciated the responses to this newbie from the members.

I will be pulling the trigger on my first foray into vaping in the next several days.

I figured that's who they were talking about, but they said it may be best to purchase directly. I wanted to reassure them that puffitup is legit.

@Lion Zion, I'm glad you had a good customer service experience. Welcome to FC!

 

[sickmanfraud]

i am not in the market for a new Mighty or other S&B product since currently I can't afford one.

What I did notice when "looking around" on the internet is that different websites from different countries worked out cheaper than the USA price due to the currency exchange. Did not really add the shipping and see where that totaled.

In some cases It may work out better to buy one from vapefiend in the UK or from Canada.

A little research MAY save you some $, but not major money.

There are also Mighty vapes that appear in the classified adds here on FC. If you find one for a good price with low hours you may decide to buy.

 

[uhranium]

Try out the Boundless CF or the Fenix. Both are mighty-like, but cost only 20-40% of a mighty. If you feel unsatisfied, you can always buy the better ones.
