Weekend Co-Op Update, Monday Edition

Due to this weekend’s road trip, this week’s weekend update is a bit late, but there’s a lot to report.

After a long dry spell, a co-op spring has finally sprung, with a lot of good stuff out there at some really good prices.  A lot of the new deals come courtesy of a new group on Facebook: Vaping Group Buys from Bucky. A highly-respected veteran of ECF’s active co-op groups, Bucky’s branched out on his own, and in a big way. A very large number of the open co-ops we’re tracking at the moment are Bucky’s, from his offerings of Boge F-Series tanks and cartomizers (an area that those who have dealt with Bucky before will know he’s got a lot of experience with), as well as a wide variety of Kanger clearos, vGo batteries and the new, very popular Pro-Tank, and a rainbow of Vision Spinners. Having bought through Bucky before, we can highly recommend him as someone who runs a tight, smooth co-op and highly recommend checking out what he’s got to offer.

We also suggest keeping an eye on Legit Group Buys this week. With several co-ops coming to a close there, we expect some new stuff to come available there in the coming week.

Be sure to check the Co-Op Tracker for the current deals, or subscribe to the new RSS feed of open co-ops to keep up with updates as they are added.

Weekend Co-Op Update, Monday Edition

Weekend Co-Op Update

As a result of shipping delays caused by the recent Chinese New Year celebrations, in addition to another recent holiday weekend in China, new co-ops have been slow to form in recent weeks, with many still in a holding pattern waiting for goods to be released by vendors. As a result, the Co-Op Tracker has not seen many new co-ops since our last update.

In addition, today we received a request from a co-op manager at Facebook’s Land of Vapes co-op group to remove listings for buys run by their group, so pickings this weekend are slimmer than they would be normally. This is offset somewhat by the recent addition of listings from Reddit’s RBASales sub-reddit, which was recently opened to the public. Even with the slow-down in co-op openings and the removal of Land of Vapes, however, there are still a few buys you can get in on this weekend that are very much worth checking out.

A recently launched buy at nu-vapor for Bauway’s new CE8 clearomizer is one of these. The clearomizer has received some good reviews, and we’ve ordered a few and look forward to checking them out thoroughly when they arrive.  We’ve also placed an order for the Sentinel V3, a very highly regarded mechanical mod from the Philippines, from a group buy still open in Legitimate Group Buys, another Facebook group that frequently buys impressive and hard-to-acquire Pinoy goods like the Nimbus atomizer we recently reviewed. Another open co-op is getting some great prices on MNKE batteries, regarded by many to be the best there is for mechanical mods.

It’s also been an active week for co-ops at Whacked-Out E-Cigs, with several co-ops open for their Canadian members on Youde offerings like the AGA-T2 and IGO-L, and another in its infancy for the Innokin iTaste MVP.

Another recent addition is a UK-based co-op for Bauway’s Variable Voltage eGo kit, atomizers, tanks and clearomizers.  The eGo’s are a great little starter kit, and one we highly recommend for new vapers, and the clearos and Vivi Nova’s are loved by many, so we expect this co-op to be rather popular with our readers on the other side of the pond.
