So here I am debating between a Babyliss and a Joico. Meanwhile, as of today (Tuesday, March 16) all the Joico vapor irons (except one) have sold out at Amazon! Did you guys all go on shopping sprees last night?! WOW!

Hey Bint thanks for posting the deal on Amazon but I kinda don't get it. Does it say that it comes in a two pack and you just pick one and how would you do that, or do you have to buy both and since it's two for $198 it ends up being one $99. If this deal is forreal I'm buying one tomorrow night!!!

If you look at the graphic above the iron it says 2 pack, and if you look at the price of 198 in parenthesis it says 99.00 per item. You can't pick one. You would have to buy the 2 pack for the 198 listed. Then you could sell it to another lady or make a deal with someone prior and go in and split the cost.
I hope that clears it up for ya.

Yep you get 2 flat irons for 198, which ends up being 99 for each one.

Thanks Bint! If it comes with two, Bint do you want to set up something through paypal where you can send me one and I'll pay you for it ?

If not, any other ladies willing to do this with me?

Ladies I have my vapor iron. I will be using it this weekend.

The vapor fuel is like water. I will also be trying to use the maxiglide with the vapor fuel.

For the ladies who don't have an iron. I just found this deal on Amazon. For some reason this seller is selling the iron in a 2 pack, but its priced at 99 dollar per iron.

http://www.amazon.com/K-Pak-Joico-K-PAK-ReconstrRx-VaporIron/dp/B00373N8ME/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_text_b

People can go in on a two pack to get the 99 dollar price.

You are making us wait til the weekend??? :p
 
This is so tempting.

My Maxiglide MP plate broke :( I'm so upset about that. I loved the teeth and steam-burst option.
 
APPLIANCE JUNKIE ALERT!!:

I ordered the Joico 2-pack! (crazy me) It should arrive on the 24th. Anyone interested in getting the 2nd one? (please!). Just PM me.

I also received the Babyliss steam iron yesterday. It's looks really nice, well built, has the steam burst option (does the Joico have this?) and retractable teeth like the Maxiglide. It cost $85, including shipping. I might end up keeping this one and selling both Joicos--I love my other Babyliss nano titanium-No snags!.

I'm frustrated because I can't use it until I decide which one to keep. Decisisons, decisions...:ohwell:
 
^^^ hmmmmm.....
I'm not really interested in the joico b/c I'd have to keep buying refills indefinitely, but I do want to order the babyliss steam iron. I'm just waiting for reviews on it.
 
Hmm well I hope this iron works well. I don't straighten too often, and I have two good irons already. I remember I had a conair steam iron in high school and that thing worked wonders.

@the bolded: I don't think you have to do that. I plan to try whichever iron I decide to keep with the Aphogee green tea keratin mist. If you compare the ingredient lists between this and the vaporfuel (check this thread) it's apparent that this might work. I'm basing my hypothesis on previous fabulous flatironing results after spraying this product (aphogee) on my dry hair. Besides, you could always use plain water! Just a thought.

ATTN: ALL LADIES PLANNING TO BUY THE 2 FLATIRONS FOR $198 ON AMAZON: DO NOT BUY!!!

I had to send mine back today because according to them, this deal doesn't exist.

I ordered the "two pack" from them on Tuesday and got it from them today, only to find only one flat iron in the box. So I call just to verify that the other one is on its way and they tell me that I just get ONE for $198. The "two pack" part meant that I get the iron with the vaporfuel (which is 3.4ml not even the full 10ml refill bottle btw) Even after telling them that there were other members on this board who got the deal they told me that it was "Amazon's" fault that it displayed wrong and they could only give me a refund.

I had to send it back with the quickness so I can get my refund.

I'm gonna PM Bint to see what happened because I used her exact link she got her two irons.

I'll update when I hear anything but if anyone was thinking of getting this deal HOLD OFF until we figure out what happened.
 
So I just heard back from Bint Yusef and she told me that she didn't actually buy the iron from them, so I think this deal is void. So I guess the deal really doesn't exist.......

Yeah I posted up thread that I got my iron from Ebay. I was on amazon looking to buy more Vapor Fuel and ran across that deal.

I am sorry about what happened to you and deleted the link to that vendor so no other ladies fall into their trap. :sad: Sorry about that. Their explanation does not even make any sense its clear as day they are advertising 2 iron for $99 a piece for a total of 198.
 
Have any naturals tried this product? How did it do with getting the hair straight in one pass, lasting, and not preventing reversion? I'm so tempted to get this iron.....
 
Approaching eleven months in transition so I think I can count as a natural. i can not exactly answer your question, as I historically not a very good or patient at flat ironing. I am not good at doing small segments.

That said, even with my faults, this iron gets me straight with more body than my chi. I get a lot of volume and movement. It's probably not the straightest... but I was never able to get that.

I keep the flat iron really well. I can usually go 4 good days before the edges start to complain and that's been over a rainy winter. Again, since I'm not great at flat ironing, this is an improvement over the other.

The biggest difference is just how much silkier and nicer my hair feels. Previously, with my chi, I'd have to give special attention (read: passes) to my ends to get them nice, but with this one I do not.

Wow! This is getting crazier and crazier. I guess it will be another year or so before i finally get mine. Either that or just cough up the extra cash just to keep from getting caught up in foolishness.
 
I intended to use plain water all along. I don't actually like the idea of heating a product (protein or otherwise) to the boil and applying it to the hair.
I thought that it was the love of Joico products that made some people want the iron so bad.
I ordered the babyliss this afternoon. No hassle, no extra cost since I only want to regular steam.

I contacted the seller on amazon concerning the 2-pack thing and she said that it was called 2-pack because it includes the flat iron AND the vapor fuel. 2 items=2 pack, which is completely ridiculous. I think i'll buy the babyliss instead

Does anyone know how much Trade Secret is selling this iron for??
Click to expand...

Good Luck, I went to my local Trade Secret (VA) they looked at me like I was crazy. :perplexed The lady never heard of it. She did go on to say, if is by Joico they will be getting it soon in a shipment, but for right now, it does not exist in Trade Secret store.
 
What is your use of this iron? How often do you use it? Do you think that flat ironing with this iron 1Xweek would be too much heat if you use good hair protectant?

What do y'all think?
 
ok so i'm really pressed for this iron because i always get breakage (with heat protectant and deep conditioning prior to straightening on lower heat ) but with all the dramatics surrounding the purchase and the fact that im pretty much broke :ohwell:, i wanted to know if anyone has tried maybe just putting some of the vapor fuel in a maxi glide yet. I have a maxi glide and haven't used it in about a year i figure maybe i need to purchase the vapor fuel and break it out. since my hair is already suffering a little i didn't want to be the guinea pig :eyebrows2
 
Ladies....I got my refund from Amazon!!!!! It's such a relief to get my money back from these swindling merchants AGAIN!!! (for those of you who follow my threads, this is the second time I've had to deal with a bad flat iron deal)

This is strike two, if I make one more bad purchase on a flatiron, then I just wasn't meant to use one.
