Purchasing My First Vaporizer

[satan]

And clearly I want everything to go smoothly. So here's some questions for you fellas;
1. Puffitup.com VS GotVape.com?

• I believe neither sites have the authorized Arizer distributor seal or whatever, that kind of throws me off.
• PuffitUp is $175 including shipping and comes with a free 4 pc grinder
• GotVape is being pesky with price matching, so I'm going to estimate the cost to be $165 including shipping, but no 4 pc grinder.

Any advice when I first get my vaporizer or anything? I need some sort of guidance with this, somewhat of a mentoring to make sure I enjoy my first experience vaporizing rather than regretting spending over $100 on another smoking gadget.

Don't give it a 2nd thought. Arizer has no problem with either dealer. Puffitup has a price match guarantee- "Email us any competitors advertised price and we will be happy to beat it by 5%."

...to make sure I enjoy my first experience vaporizing rather than regretting spending over $100 on another smoking gadget.

Commit yourself to vapor alone for a while. Don't mix smoking with vaping. Some take to vaping immediately and with others it's an adjustment. With vapor you'll be missing some effects, but they're mostly from smoke byproducts that have nothing to do with cannabinoids. A vaporizer is much more than a "smoking gadget". Hopefully, after giving your new vape a good test run, you'll agree.

I hope so. And do you know if they will price match Ebay prices? I believe both websites need proof of the better offer, and this is the best I could find. I could've sworn I saw it on amazon for cheap. I just want to make sure either website will give me the legitimate price match.

eBay and Amazon both are full of low ball sellers, and some manufacturers won't even honor the warranty if you buy from an unauthorized source. DO NOT expect price matching from reputable dealers when it comes to eBay/Amazon. You may as well ask 'em to match the price you get from the guy selling out of the trunk of his car.

Update:
VaporNation will do $150 through price matching excluding shipping ($16 more)
GotVape will do $148 through price matching excluding shipping ($16 more)
Still waiting on PuffitUp's response in regards to price matching, but I can get the Extreme Q for $175, including shipping, and a free grinder I believe.


So what would you conclude on? The only reason I'm hesitant about PuffitUp is the fact that it appears their extreme q's only come in black and have the PuffitUp logo on them. Other sites, they appear to be stainless steel and have no logo on them.

Satan, The newest EQ is a darker color than the older versions. Also, there is no Puffitup logo on the device itself. What you may see on their website is just a watermark for the photo.

I have used PIU many times in the past and have always been treated well by them. I can't say that I have the same warm fuzzies for GotVape.

They're great. Puffitup provides the best service you could ask for. If a problem should arise, Randy will make it right.

So it still is a stainless steel color, just darker? And perfect, I do not want one with a logo on it hah. And of course you would choose PIU Stu, the most expensive option out of all of em! Do you have any experience with vapor nation? As of now, they seem the most legit price-wise, other than that; I really am considering buying through PIU, I'm just worried I'm gonna spend $9 dollars more for some piece of crap grinder. But now, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that it's just 9 dollars more and Stu himself said PIU gives him butterflies, I may just end up making my purchase tonight.

 

[Stu]

I'd be willing to pay the extra $9 just to have the peace of mind. If there was any problem, Randy and co. at PIU have an excellent track record of making sure their customer is satisfied.

Contact PIU and explain your concerns (more expensive, don't like the package makeup). I will be shocked if they don't come up with a deal that makes you happy. You're not limited to the packages they show on their website.

Randy gave me the offer $165, 2 piece grinder, free shipping. Which kind of makes it not seem so appealing since I get the same perks for $10 more, and 2 extra layers to a grinder, but to be honest I think I'm content with 165 unless you guys can think of some way to get it cheaper haha. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP. Had to get that out of my system. Honestly, this website makes me feel secure about my decisions and it has been so much more helpful then any other vaporizer websites, forums, youtube channels etc. So people of fuckcombustion: I would like to thank you all. You truly have made this vaporizing experience an experience, not just like buying a bowl at your LHS. I've researched, asked owners, all that good stuff; I'd just like to show my appreciation for your guys' help and the fact that you even answer my stupid questions.
