Extremely poor customer care from Sourcemore

ok, how do i begin…i ordered an IJOY tornado RTA from Sourcemore a few weeks back and i believe its supposed to have a 510 drip tip adapter in it(thats what the package says) but when i opened it, there wasnt one…and the wide bore 510 was just a bit too much for me, so i asked about it, and after playing fucking games with me, trying to make me feel stupid, their customer service finally fessed up to the shit. now i realize its coming from China, so i made an offer…i told em i would order something else on the condition that they send me the missing 510 adapter. they made their little promise that they would,but guess what guys? no drip tip adapter…so, i’m going to expose them, and you guys can decide whether or not you wanna do business with them…

Well, this is much more complicated than it should be, but here goes:




Attached are the pictures…again, no drip tip adapter. Drip tip adapter is important to me.

I am not talking about the drip tip, I am talking about the 510 drip tip adapter. The box was supposed to include the adapter, so I could use a standard 510 drip tip instead of the wide bore drip tip that came with it

Hi friend,
That is is the drip tip adaptor as I circled in the pictures. You put it on the top of the atomiser and then you can use other type of drip tip on it. You ask with your friends around you. I’m sorry for this inconvenience caused.

Any doubts,please feel free to contact us again.

the thing you circled is the actual drip tip itself…if you look, it doesnt have the o-rings on the sides of it like the one you circled still in the box. i own 2 tornadoes, and the one i received from VaporBeast.com has the drip tip adapter included, so i know what a drip tip adapter looks like. the tornado i bought from Sourcemore did NOT have the drip tip adapter in it.
i am going to post this entire conversation onto the forum i belong to and publicize this bullshit.

Hi friend,
I’m sorry for this late reply. I have met a another customer who also met the problem with the giffrin tank. As he declared in his email to me that the drip tip adaptor is what we talked before. The red cirlced is the 510 drip tip adaptor in the giffrin kit.

To compensate you, we’d like to give you 500 points to your account as compensation to you?

Wait for your reply.

well, first of all, the issue i have with you is for the tornado tank, so i’m not sure how mentioning the griffin tank will help me. i own a griffin as well and the drip tip adapter for t he griffin looks nothing like what you circled previously.
second, i am not interested in 500 points, i am only interested in the drip tip adapter. i understand that you probably feel like this is way more than what you want to handle, seeing how you are so very far away, and you would like to be able to resolve this with out having to send anything out, but honestly, the only way i will be happy is if i get my drip tip adapter. so i tell you what, i am not a difficult man to work with, so if i order something from your inventory, can you promise to send me the drip tip adapter for the tornado?

to clarify my last message:
if i order something from your inventory, will you send me my missing drip tip adapter along with what i have ordered? that way you are not just sending the drip tip adapter?

Hi friend,
I’m sorry for this trouble caused. I’m a little confused. As the pictures you sent me , I think what I talked about the drip tip adaptor is just the drip tip adaptor you showed me in your pictures. Here you can see.

Sorry for my poor English, I just want to make the drip tip adaptor out and give you a clear and reasoable solution.

Wait for your reply.

ok, i am not good with little arrows and embedded text, so i try to explain.
first of all, of the 3 pictures you sent me, the first 2 pictures are correct, but picture number 3 is NOT!. in picture number 1, that thing that is on top of the tank, the actual drip tip, is what is circled in picture number 3. the thing that you are pointing to in picture number 1 is NOT anywhere in picture number 3! picture number 2 is not correct. when my package came to me, there was a bag (shown in picture 3) in the area you have circled in picture number 2. and that bag did NOT have a drip tip adapter.
you keep saying that the drip tip adapter is circled in picture number 3…that is the drip tip. there is supposed to be 2 small black cylinders, one is the drip tip, the other is the drip tip adapter.
the drip tip that comes with the tank is too big for me, i dont like it, so i like to use the drip tip adapter to use smaller drip tips.

well, i just received Fuhattan mech mod from you guys and guess what??? that 510 drip tip adapter you promised me, it wasnt in there. it doesnt surprise me at all. i suspected you would have an empty promise…thats ok, i am going to post this entire fucking email conversation along with your empty promise on the ELR forum for all to see.

***sorry for the lengthy post, but i wanted to show how they tried running me in circles and then tried running me in the ground. and, of course, i had to show the empty promise…at this point, i dont need to include the package that did NOT include the promised drip tip adapter. Fuck these guys.

Dude! sux …but you did notice their address was on Vibration Rd? Clearly a factory full of dildoes. Also note, for them to send you one would likely result in the next guy also not getting his 510 adapter. Perhaps contact the manufacturer (and tell them the story!) and pay the $2.50 shipping to get one… your time is valuable

Sorry for the crap-experience. Unfortunately the problem is compounded with the language differences. I had something similar happen with a Fasttech experience. After many emails back and forth,I just told them to forget it.

I just go into assuming 50% chance of failure and if I’m willing to accept that and waiting a long time, then so be it.

So not the best for the “OMG I MUST HAVE NOW” items, but something like 10 sets of black subtank o-rings for a couple bucks, that’s kinda OK with me if I only get 5 usable sets out of em (I really only want 3 anyway, but spare are fine too). And then some dumb clone RDA that I could totally live without for less than $10, sure why not.

@Whiterose0818 I got a drip tip adaptor that came with one of those silly Fasttech clones sitting around that I’m not using. It’s 15mm diameter on the tank side, is that what you need? It looks a bit different tho, as it’s meant to go on a Little Boy RDA (it’s the bit on the right in this pic).

I just got up and after reading this I just wanted to jump in front of a train. These people just make you jump through hoops to get you to give up. Sending pictures of a missing item is completely ridiculous anyway, you could have palmed it and then took a picture. They should just send missing items without all the BS.
They have a spot here on ELR in the vendor section, any chance of them losing that spot @daath, @JoJo?

i sincerely appreciate the offer…if i remember when i get home, i will measure and let you know. good looking out!

Is this a solution to compensate for this missing adapter? Or…

That’s what they are counting on. Google translator works quite well. Whiterose’s experience - no excuse for it. The retailer should have remedied the issue. I won’t be placing any orders with this vendor.

A suggestion to help Whiterose calm down after reliving the entire experience while typing in her experience to share with us…

Personally I think you did give them a fair number of options. At this point they should just send you a drop top adaptor.

As for translation issues. I totally don’t think there should be an issue. The terms, at this point in the industry not like it was 5years ago, are transferable from one language to another. Atleast for english to any other language… Drip tip adapter, rda, rta, mod, and so on.

At worst I would say a 50% refund to your card or whole refund. That’s what other vendors do.

@Whiterose0818 I googled IJoy Tornado 510 Drip Tip Adapter and the results for the whole product (exploded views) don’t show what you are looking for. It may be the language barrier and the drip tip is being described as an “Adapter”? The custom picture they provided on their website may have been two packages with the chuff tip being shown twice and the basis for their confusion (It’s not in the package?)

I bet you could contact the manufacturer and lodge a valid complaint. They say you get one in the box and I say it’s not in any of their packages! Go to a local B&M and open a package …bet it’s not in there. They may have neglected to get them in the inventory or packing process and now they’re selling them in boxes of 10 (has to make some kind of sense, but definitely a screw up)

But you want what you want so here it is (here they are!) Looks like these are for sale, not sure why you need all of these (10?)

Wallet rape. I wouldn’t buy a damn item from these people.
