What the hell Takealot?

I know that you would be a bit silly to buy vape gear from Takealot. But have a look at this:

Smok TFV8 Baby Beast Coils on Takealot sold for R499

They say "Sold by VapeShop - Fulfilled by Takealot"

So lets go have a look at VapeShop

Smoke TFV8 Baby Beast Coils on VapeShop sold for R99

That is quite the markup.

Haha! I'm guessing the ones from Takealot are sold in the blister pack (so you're getting 5 coils).

But geez... I could never shell out R500 for five coils! I got into rebuildables for this exact reason, that is crazy!

Fair enough, the image on VapeShop has 5 coils but they dont say pack of 5.

Even then, https://www.vapeking.co.za/smok-tfv8-baby-5-pack-coils.html has it for R320. Still pretty high.

Yeah The Vape Shop does have a pretty large mark up compared to other vendors.

I'll be honest I think it's a pity that they got into Takealot as opposed to one of the other vendors, I shop stuff on Takealot ALL the time and it would be much easier to hide my vape purchases if I could get from there (at a better price).

Yeah, the Takealot one is for a pack of 5. The description:
Smok Baby Beast Coil Pack of 5

I am seeing the positive side of this though. The fact that Takealot is eventually stocking vaping gear. The downside is the pricing, but I think once someone alerts them to this they may get some cheaper products in.

For a long time, Takealot only stocked Twisp related products, in fact part of their 'Daily Deals' today is Twisp liquids at R159ea.

I personally love shopping on Takealot and if they can stock the vaping gear I want at the prices that I am used to getting from them, awesome.
