Alright now your concerning me about the age.

I looked online but couldn't find anything reliable, so does anyone know if this stuff is legal for minors to buy? I want to get my facts straight before I go persuade any liquor store owners.

I've noticed a lot of people online confuse e-cigs with e-hookas, especially since some are and some aren't tabacco and nicotine free.

Yeah CEO nailed it up there, as long as there's no nicotine we should be golden. Just check up on local stuff, city and state.

Will post an update on my latest figures tonight. Moved through everything I last ordered

Has anyone thought about buying these in USA, then selling them elsewhere where cigarettes are hella expensive? In Singapore there's massive tax on cigarettes, maybe $12 per pack. I imagine they'd go for 1.5x as much here, plus theres a solid arab/indian community, just hoping that the box is small enough to get through customs...

*hm hm, it appears that they ship globally FREE.. is this for real?

Sounds like youve got a plan Cyclone! Capitalize on it! Singapore is a gorgeous country. The closest thing this earth has to a Utopia in my own opinion. The level of wealth on casual display is unreal.

Update on my current progress and the status of my pyramid.

A brief recap below:

Initial Investment: 1500$
Boxes Received: 30
Individual Units: 30 x 12 = 360 E Hookahs
Retail price: 15$ x 360 Units = 5400$ Gross
Profit: 5400$ Gross - 1500$ I.I = 3900$ Profit*
*Keeping in mind the 1500$ I.I was mostly Gross from prior sales

I have a War Chest of 5400$ dollars now solely off of UBER. Next ill break down how I sold the 30 boxes so quickly and what the scoop is with my distribution network or pyramid.

30 boxes divided up as follows:

5 Boxes to Main Squeeze
3 Boxes to my High School Brother
2 Boxes to a Hookah/Shisha Bar in my Downtown
20 Boxes to the chain of convenience stores I sell to now*

*These things are one of their hottest sellers. All 3 of there locations (especially one near a high school) sell out within a week. They retail them for 19.99 for the record.

Profit: 5400$ Gross - 1500$ I.I = 3900$ Profit*
*Keeping in mind the 1500$ I.I was mostly Gross from prior sales

5400$ in the War Chest! Im extremely happy! This is literally 2 months in Thailand for me including air travel (Both Ways) Many might say I spend above whats needed but I like a comfortable apartment in Krong Ton Buri. I dont plan on going any time soon however as its nearly summer where I am and will Hustle it out a little longer until I have a bigger nest egg at least.

Regarding my new distribution Pyramid I have structured it as follows:

Myself at the top of course, Followed by my Main Squeeze and Brother as lieutenants/Managers, They are responsible for recruiting people under them and they receive 15% of their sales as a commission. The people under them receive nothing. They are merely grunts tasked with offloading the individual units.

The way it works is I order the units at wholesale cost, Then my lieutenants secure orders from the grunts and collect the cash. Once I count the dough they receive their 15% commission in cash and I sit on my fat ass and order some more! Ive effectively outsourced finding new customers and have whittled my time contribution to this business down to about 20 minutes a day. Of course im not a lazy fuck so im going to continue hustling my ass off to stack even more paper.

Regarding my 5400$ Ive reinvested the whole thing into more UBER, The breakdown is below:

5400$ Using the "2 for 1" deal = 108 Boxes
108 Boxes = 1296 Units
1296 Units X 15$ Retail = 19440$ Gross
Subtract 15% Commission = 16524$ Remaining
Shipping Cost = 540$ No Free shipping on an order this size!

Total Estimated Profit: 15,984$

Not sure how long it will take to sell 108 Boxes. But will keep the forum posted. For anyone interested the link is http://www.uberpuffs.com For the record I just ordered this shipment yesterday so I imagine Ill have it within 10 business days. Ill post a picture of all my boxes when I receive them.

I love this part:

"² FREE SHIPPING TO ALL COUNTRIES EVERYWHERE. EXCEPT WESTERN SAHARA, BECAUSE THATS NOT A REAL COUNTRY."

In addition, as I'm in my last two weeks at work...I'll buy some and sell them to keep me from getting bored. Gotta appreciate that 2x1 offer. My cousin is in high school and school is about to be out so I know what's going to be crackin'!

When I was speaking with the CEO that was one of my questions. He gave an eta of 4-5 weeks. So mid May-ish, so far as I know.

Post: #61

Hopefully soon. I want some new product.

Post: #62

Did you do any testing with the kijiji ad? Do you just put the features, price and an image, or do you put something else?

Post: #63

For the Kijiji Ad I put Price, Features, Image, Flavors Available and contact info, I basically fill it up with everything I can. Oh and Pick up only normally.

So thanks to this topic, I've put in my order for 2 boxes to distribute throughout Singapore. My main targets are retailers at the moment, since I don't want to deal with too many people, contemplating giving them a free demo box if we hit it off well or at least at a serious discount so they can see for themselves and come back for more.

This is my first time running any sort of enterprise, but I am likely the only distributor in the entire country so I'll let you know how things go out here

For the sake of keeping the thread alive:
No updates from me, still waiting on the package. Actually, CEO what's you general wait time on shipping? I'm in the north east US. Little city in Pennsylvania. So I'm assuming the time would be about the same.

Post: #66

It's been a week in Texas and haven't received a confirmation that it has shipped.


I'll send an email to check on the order

Post: #67

Hi Guys,

I have an update on my large order, part of it came through but not all of it! I have received 30 boxes so far

Hmm Jessup im in Canada so my shipping took longer...the free shipping is dependant on the service they use (their dropshipper) so I know in talking to Spencer he is apologetic on shipping times as its largely out of his control.... Cattle Rustler give him a shout on their website their and hell get back to you im sure. Regarding tracking number I personally have never received one but I assumed it was because it was due to the free (but sometimes slow) shipping...

Cyclone sent you a PM

CEO

Post: #68

Same here, I did not receive an email saying its shipped but only the order number.

I ordered it the 24th of April and im on the west coast still waiting. Didn't expect it to take longer than a week.

Post: #69

I ordered a week ago as of today and still haven't received anything. Spencer's been backed up with orders and whatnot after coming off vacation or something like that. Spoke to him via email. This waiting is ridiculous.

Post: #70

ash093 its free shipping..... Dont expect Hermes himself to come to you with the package.... Personally I think it might have to do with the FDA's new regulations for manufacturers

http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publicheal...172906.htm

If its that bad email him for a refund. Not that it would matter youll probably receive it right away anyways.

I'm gonna wait it out since I already sold out via preorder, and I plan to use this and my job to save up to retire from the 9-5 and go into what I really want to do. but each passing day with all these customers waiting is like

Post: #72

A good hustle this one, but I haven't seen so many people using e-cigs lately.

I wonder if it's because 90%+ of smokers have now tried them, realised they're no substitute for real cigarettes and have given up on vaping?

Anyway, just don't get stuck with 100,000 of the things if it turns out to be yet another craze.

Post: #73

Ash, Agree with the Jackie Chan but at least youve got them pre sold. Congrats on that. Im still waiting on the rest of my order as well....got pre orders to fill as well....

Anybody else feels like this is some weird situation like a penny stock pumping thread with CEO and a bunch of sock puppets?

BREAKING NEWS VIA EMAIL



Hello

If you have received this message we regret to inform you that due to the FDA's new regulations regarding electronic cigarettes your order has been delayed. As of April 24 2014 our product no longer complies with American Federal law and as such our dropshipper could not legally ship your product resulting in a backlog of orders.

Due to our high volume of emails we were unable to see the notification from our dorpshipper and continued to assume we were operating as normal. Contrary to popular belief the new FDA regulations come into effect right away and not within 90 days of their announcement.

We are working hard to comply with the new FDA regulations and once they have been met we can resume shipping and you will receive your product.

For those requesting refunds unfortunately pursuant to our terms of service and the fact our dropshipper is ready to ship your order we cannot offer a refund at this time as your order is coming from the factory to our dropshipper and not through us. If further issues persist we will however offer refunds.

Please allow an additional 2 - 3 weeks for your orders to arrive. We are extremely sorry about the circumstances and will be shipping all of those affected a hard copy of our marketing guide and a box of our new sample flavors once they are in production. Free of charge of course.

We will update our website with a copy of the new FDA regulations later today.

For any questions concerns or comments please email us back at [email protected]

**Our website will be undergoing maintenance today as well and will be up and down for the next 24 hours**

Our regrets and Thanks,

Spencer Benterud
