RTAs failed me/I've failed my RTAs?

Try sourcemore.com not sure if I ever used cvapor but I would never pay via western union. Sourcemore has a PayPal option, you click it at checkout then they email you the PayPal email to pay through. You then email them the paypal transaction ID and your covered. I have done it 2 times so far with no problems

I have used Cvapor awhile back, before big-T conquered vaping. I don’t remember all the details but I think they are a drop-shipper, meaning they don’t stock everything they sale. They are in Texas but your order may come from China. I got something super cheap on sale and sometimes they sale stuff that’s hard to find elsewhere. I probably used PayPal at the time? I didn’t have any problems. They were fast for a drop ship, maybe I just got lucky? I believe they followed up to check if everything was good for me.

Hmm, I was gonna say sourcemore didn’t have the Surface, but it turns out they do. I’ve looked at so many different places searching for it I’d forgotten they were one of the places that still had it. I was also going to get a Profile Unity RDA from cvapor, but I can manage w/out that.

The price on sourcemore is, err, more, but several people have suggested the site before, so at least I won’t have to worry about that. Thanks for suggesting it to me (again) @mjag. :smiley:

As I first suggested contact CS. Ask what kind of payment they take. Western Union is a expensive option if that is all they take. Find your final cost shipped. Check the final cost at other venders. I don’t know the vendor you are buying from but this is common practice to get around the PayPal ban.

I did write them using the usual “contact us” form about payment, but they never replied. I will try again by replying to the email they sent me because iirc, Western Union isn’t cheap.

I don’t know if Sourcemore charges for S&H, but cvapor is charging close to $20. I hope not, since there’s already a $20 difference between what they’re charging for the Surface.

Sourcemore did charge me for shipping, $6 iirc. for my DRAG3, that got here in 3 weeks.

Well, cvapor replied to my email - they said that the things I ordered are sold out and discontinued. LOL, It would’ve been nice for them to have marked those products that way. Other things on that site were marked as sold out, but the Surface and the RDA weren’t. :roll_eyes:

3F has the Authentic Profile v1 (much better than the v1.5 IMO) for 20.00. They’re legit but may take 3 - 4 weeks to arrive. I’ve bought from them many times with no issue.

I will second that, the v1.5 was a disappointment

You are probably better off. Once money is sent Western Union there is no buyer protection. Sounds like they are about the same price after WU takes their fees. Sorcemore is fair with their shipping charges and a trusted vendor. I would go that route even if a few dollars more.

It was the Profile Unity I was trying to get, not the Profile 1.5. Someone somewhere in this thread had recommended it, and it’s always been sold out everywhere I’ve looked. I had thought I’d finally found it. I’d say steer very clear of cvapor!

I’m getting the Profile you’re talking about from FastTech. I put it in my cart during their anniversary sale. I kinda figured people didn’t like the 1.5 since they’re not even selling that version any longer. Kinda disappointed FT is only selling it in stainless steel, though. :frowning:

Get the Vandy Vape Kylin M RTA if you can’t find the Unity. The Doom X RTA is another excellent mesh tank, make sure it is the X version, they did release the original as the Doom RTA.

why is the profile 1.5 not good ?

3 Likes

of those mesh RTA’s = do they accept VV spool mesh without trimming ? are they easier to wick that the Profile Unity ? leakage ?

3 Likes

IMO they f’ed up the airflow. Way too much for my liking. Better flavor on V1.

i am assuming the 1.5 takes the wider VV mesh ?

For me, the Zeus mesh tank is my absolute favorite. Easy to wick, good airflow, great flavor and NO LEAKS. Ever!
The Doom X is a very close 2nd, but the no leaks on the Zeus wins. The VV spooled mesh will work on either. It’s what I use on all my mesh devices.

thats the Zues X mesh ? i see no clones, true ?

That is correct. If you do get one, don’t use the clapton mesh. I found it to be very disappointing.

Don’t know about clones. The price is reasonable enough that I would think it wouldn’t be worthwhile to clone them, but who knows? Be careful of the colored versions. I’ve read the paint wears easily but have no firsthand experience. The SS, Black and Gunmetal should be fine.
