Been lurking here on this forum for awhile before I finally started posting recently but I sure did appreciate all your wisdom and advice. Best of luck on your bright future.

Awesome @stickstones
Nothing better than doing what u love, and helping your fellow vapor enthusiast in the process.
Best of luck brotha !!!
It would be sweet if u could be a mediator between @Snappo and these vape manufacturer's to get some more exotics out there.
I don't have a lot of money but when I make a purchase from another FC member it makes me feel better.I don't know why it just does.

FUCK the CORPORATION and
FUCK COMBUSTION !!!

I will be curious as to the glass that you will be selling? We sure need more high efficiency stems and GonGs for the Solo and Air. I realize PV sells their brand exclusively. Will you have availability to something similar?

 

[VegNVape]

. . . . Oh @stickstones, just one more thing . . . .

. . . Now I know I have not been an actual FC Member for that long, but I have seen & so I would just like to add . . .

. . . . THANK YOU ! ! !

. . . For all the time & effort you have clearly put into this community, and for your patience - all of which have surely helped mould & make FC the awesome place that it is today!

Good work fella.

Now, enjoy your new adventure!

 

[Breathemetal]

[vakedcow]

All the best on your new way

That's a great idea! Honestly, @CarolKing , this will be what you guys want. If the community wants that then I will figure it out. I don't know how soon or to what scale I can do it, but I will start looking. Right now I am trying to source cheap glass adapters that I can either include with orders or sell cheap to those that don't have an intimidating glass collection. I want to make accessories and the knowledge of them more accessible. For example, I'm sitting on more hemp fiber than I can ever use so I can provide you guys with a way to get it without buying it by the kilo. The Solo gongs fit right into that kind of thinking...

It's going to evolve daily. For example, yesterday I was able to about double the number of vapes I can quickly provide. I'll keep my website product list up to date so you know what I can get, and I'll make announcements in the 'retailers announcements' thread as well. Those prices on the site are msrp. I want you guys to pm me for pricing...kind of like getting your own promo code. And I want you all to have JyARz!!! Those things are awesome!

At the moment, the glass listed on the site is referring to two FC-187 v1's I got when they first came out.

stole my idea.. I guess its all a-ok anyways, my glassblowing skills are subpar and unpracticed. There's a ton of ideas i have for stems tho....


But you snooze you loose man. Good Job on not snoozing, and good luck man, ill def check out your site when i need things! Just did actually and now i wanna buy stuff lol.

 

[cybrguy]

Your comment about hemp fiber brings up a lot of things generally only available in quantity, like Silicone tubing and screens of odd sizes and things from China only available in lots.
Given where we are you may be interested in doing special FC tee shirts and possibly bags or other "affiliate" items. Obviously our forum name isn't for everybody, tho...

 

[IAmKrazy2]

Please check out my upcoming post on stickstones in the vaporizer retail discussion and discount thread for some kind words from me about my order process with the Herbalizer.

Stickstones insthe best! Highly recommend. And i would know. I have ordered from basically everyone, once or twice.

 

[Ed's TnT]

Just saw this thread Sticks, you are doing a great thing my man and I wish you all the best!

I have had the pleasure of rapping with Sticks for quite a while, he is a stand up guy and has been my go to guy for many answers and advice. He has always been there for me with whatever I was cooking or had on my mind. Much about vapor related stuff and much about life. I'd call him a good friend and a guy I can count on!

Congrats and good luck on your new venture stickstones!

I have decided to start selling vaporizers and accessories, with a focus on the needs and wants of the fc community. The staff has spent a lot of time figuring out how to make this transition in a way that protects the forum's integrity and mine as well. The decision has been made that I will no longer be a moderator and I will be assigned retailer status. This means the only promotional things I can post will be in the 'retailer announcements' thread. I will be allowed to continue to post in forum threads, but not in a way that advertises my business.

What I am trying to do for you guys is provide you with great value and unique pack-ins that you will actually use. I've got some items I think you will like and I welcome your suggestions about what products I could offer that do a great job of modifying a vape. I will make announcements in the 'retailers announcements' thread and may approach some of you in private messages if I think I can offer you something you would like. Do not hesitate to reject my pm advances if they are unwanted...you won't hurt my feelings! But the most important thing for me is protecting the forum's integrity, so let me know if you think I have made a questionable post or anything like that. I'd rather not do this at all than mess things up.

For those of you who don't yet know me, here's a little bit...I was the first member to join fc back in 2008 when I became an early adopter of the Arizer Extreme. A couple years later vtac made me the first mod when things starting getting busy around here. From there things snowballed into doing reviews and being on beta teams to the point where I have been lucky enough to develop good relationships with a lot of manufacturers. As I looked at how to get into the industry as a profession, the most consistent feedback I got was to be an on-line retailer. So, here goes!

I am starting really small, so at first I may be limited in how much volume I can handle. But rest assured communication is important to me and I won't take your business if I'm just going to get overwhelmed and piss you off. I'd rather have five stoked customers than 100 lukewarm ones. So to get started, feel free to pm me if you are looking for something or don't know what you are looking for. I love helping people find the right vape for them and then making sure they know how to use it correctly after purchase. I really appreciate the opportunity the staff and this community has given me and I don't want to let you guys down!

Nice one brother! True to form, you guys have gone about this in a dignified way and avoided making a convoluted mess of conflicts of interest.

We will have to do business soon!

Congratulations and best of luck in this new adventure.
Will you consider shipping to Europe ?

Once I get comfortable with what I have already bitten off, I would love to be able to take care of our non US members!

 

[c76man]

Good luck! Great move offering some actual useful freebies.

Thanks mate!
I look forward to it, my fingers are crossed.

Good luck @stickstones , I know you will do great. As I have looked for your posts many times for advice.

 

[His_Highness]

Congrats and Good Luck! Your posts and mod work speak for themselves and in volumes...
- Subject matter expertise. Check!
- Intangibles like trust, reputation and good will. Check!
- A following. Check!

When I saw the mention on your site of providing 'freebies' that are worthwhile I thought to myself....Now that's what I'm talking about.

I don't know if these are out there somewhere but I haven't seen them yet....I'd be interested in packages that aren't just product-centric but are based on where the person's expertise stands and you are for sure the person for the job...for example....I haven't been involved in the vape world anywhere near as long as you so if someone with your expertise put together a 'Nube's Solo Package' that combined things like the norm (Solo, grinder, SS screens, silicon rings) AND some cheap D020s and the correct gongs for less than I could buy them singularly I'd be really interested. I've been researching these things piece meal since I started and it's a real pain in the arse to try and read thousands of posts to get it right and even then I'm not sure.
