Dropship or wholesale for Vaporizers and E-liquid

@ImpEx: While I am not doubting that what you are saying about Chinese manufacturers agreeing to sending out smaller orders at low per unit costs in general, that does not apply to the e-cig/vape manufacturers - at least not the ones with brands worth selling. They won't even answer your RFQ if your request does not add up to X,XXX units. Been there, tried that, know all about it. But the few e-cig manufacturers that did reply, their wholesale price quotes were higher than US-based distributors. Then when you add on shipping and duty, there would be no reason to hassle yourself buying from them since you can get better prices for low or no MOQ from US distributors.

There is only one reason why you would buy direct from an e-cig manufacturer. That is because they will not honor any warranty they have if your customer approaches them and you, as a reseller, did not buy factory direct. They hide behind "oh, you probably bought a fake". It's all BS, though since you can prove the distributor that supplies you buys directly from them. But this is neither here nor there because they try to get out of honoring warranties no matter what. They are getting better as competition increases, but they try to shove it off on the retailer as much as possible and then they never reimburse the retailer (or wholesaler, whom ever their direct customer is) even though they say they will. It's getting harder and harder for retailers to absorb the cost of returns, though, as retail price start to fall (but wholesale prices remain unchanged or higher).
