Intriguing!

I just got my iron and Vapor Fuel refill today. I'm going to give it a whirl on Friday.

Thanks. Sounds like that fuel will be too thick to go go thru the maxiglide with a cone as the 2nd ingredient. Can anyone report on the consistency of the fuel?

The bottle is sitting right here on my desk. (I know, I've become obsessed.) The vapor fuel is about the same consistency as water.

You guys should see if you can get a group discount rate or a discount code or something (if the majority orders from a single vendor...)

This iron sounds very interesting. I'm going to wait on more reviews and if it's all good I'll add it to my ever-growing WishList. Gee.

I've got my VISA ready if anyone wants to try to work the deal!!!

Don't they? I ordered mine for $109 plus tax and shipping from Salon Source (http://www.salonsource.biz/manufacturers.php). You have to order by phone from this distributor, as far as I can tell.

I wish I hadnt seen this post...:covereyes

Wait--it gets better (or worse LOL): when I got home, I realized that they threw in a 10.1 oz. vapor fuel refill, apparently for free. There was no receipt in the box, and the charges haven't appeared on my online credit card statement yet, but I know I didn't order the 10.1 oz refill. The iron already comes with a 3.4 oz. bottle of vapor fuel. In any case, I'm glad to have the refill!

Those ingredients sound yummy! but i'm curious if the castor oil will weigh the hair down...i wonder why they chose such a heavy oil?

laMosca gurl hurry up and try it out and post a review already! girl I got my credit card in my hand ready to order after the 1st confirmation that ur hair didn't fall out. LOL

Maybe you could try putting some of the ApHogee Green Tea Keratin Mist inside of the maxiglide compartment, since it contains Keratin just like the Joico Fuel.

I have a Maxiglide MP, and I was thinking the what-if's about maybe adding a bit of that into the compartment.

I'm a little nervous!

I was kind of concerned about the castor oil, too, because I like my hair super-light and swingy when I flat iron. But I rubbed a little of the vapor fuel onto the back of my hand, and it was almost like water. It had a little bit of a silky feeling when wet, and it dried without leaving a trace of oiliness or stickiness.

 

[Supergirl]

I rarely come to the hair board anymore, but I've been over here for 10 minutes and already have spent about $150 in my head.

 

[bella gee]

this sounds like a dream, i need to stay out of this thread

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

I LOVE Joico products and they're one of the few companies that I trust but what is Vaporfuel?? It just seems like something to keep you hooked buying their product since using anything else in the iron " is not recommended".......
EDIT: Ok, I just went back a page and saw the ingredients to the Vaporfuel. I just dont like that you have to use that product for the iron. I've been using my Sedu for maybe 3 years now, I have a brand new one put away and I also own 2 Chi Turbos, and 1 classic Solano Sapphire scissor style iron .. I should not be in this thread lol....
ETA again: I just have a bad feeling that this would make my hair stiff, sticky or weighed down but I'd really really love to try it ( watching the video)... So you don't need any heat protectant because its already loaded up in the iron. I need to find a place to try this with a good return policy..

Last edit: I just cannot wait for some reviews on this because its looking more and more exciting! I might even try it now if I see that I can return it if I dont like it....
Excuse the insanity of the entire post **exits with grace** LOL

That's okay...these kind of threads can have a sista thinking out loud.

Houston ladies, I found a local distributor for this flat iron. The name is Salon Source, and they are selling it for $109 plus tax and shipping. (Unfortunately, I can't just go there and pick it up; they are shipping it out to me.) They are shipping it today, so I should receive it tomorrow. Can't wait; I've been using my old T3 for about 5 years.

Thank you so much la mosca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My total came out to be 122.65 plus tax and shipping because I ordered an extra Fuel Refill just in case. Was the lady you talked to named Dominique. She was super sweet. She told me that they were shipping mine out today so I should receive it tomorrow. I am super excited

 

[Hair4Care]

Wow...I have a 4 flat irons that I never use, but I can't resist this!

Gurl, you well cracking me upbut u know I aint no better

I'm excited too! I can't remember the name of the woman I spoke with, but she was very sweet. I like dealing with this distributor. I'm going to see what else I can order from them.

La Mosca, Just Curious...would you feel like throwing a little "additional" charity towards the ladies of LHCF and contact the retailer just to inquire about a group discount?

I'm sure we could easily secure 50 sales off the bat. Since they're taking phone orders, you really wouldn't need to go beyond the initial inquiry. The responsibility would remain with the purchaser to contact the business, give them a LHCF code they would give you, and make payment and shipping arrangements.

I know...I make it sound soooo easy to arrange. Sorry, desperation talking.
If not, it's still a better deal than $150-$165 I've seen so far.

Thank you for listening

Sure, I'll talk to them about this. It's a great idea. I'll give them a call today.

 

[Nightingale]

If we can get a discount, I AM IN!

 

[Mzz Mac]

Okay now, call them and see if they accept returns and let me know and I will order too!
Deal?

 

[MahoganyJazz]

Just ordered mine from Salon Source for $112.67!!!


~~makes a mad dash outta thread and chops up credit card!!!~~

ETA, yes they accept returns within 30 days.

ETAA, Dominique was indeed very nice... I raved about LHCF, so don't be surprised if she makes her debut around here.

 

[la mosca]

I just got off the phone with Salon Source. I mentioned that I bought the vapor iron from them the other day and that I'm a member of LHCF. I gave a little background information about our forum (over 113,000 members worldwide) and said that the vapor iron has generated a huge interest among our members. I said that there is a large group of women who are interested in purchasing the iron. I asked whether they would be willing to set up a discount code for our members.

The person I spoke with seemed very receptive. She said she will check into this and call me back. I think this may happen.

She did mention that Salon Source is actually just a regional distributor for Texas and that it is meant for salons. She said that they really don't generally sell to the general public, and that I got the salon price rather than the higher retail price. Apparently, I shouldn't even have been able to buy the iron through Salon Source. (In fact, I specifically mentioned that I wasn't a salon client when I placed the order, but whatever.) She told me that they have a website geared towards retail sales to the general public called backstagebrittany.com. (I took a look at that website, and there isn't much there; the vapor iron doesn't seem to be there, either.) She said that they would add the vapor iron to that website, but they want to make sure that their salon clients are taken care of first. She said that the flat iron will retail at a higher price (and she didn't say what that price will be), but she will look into working out a deal for our members.

I will keep you all posted.

ETA: Can you please send me a PM if you're interested in purchasing this flat iron through them? I need to get an estimate of how many potential sales they can make through our forum.

 

[Amari]

I'm local to Houston, and just bought this iron. They told me they did not know how they would handle all the inquiries.They are overwhelmed lol.She mentioned they might stop selling because they can not handle all of us.She charged me $119.I had to pay extra for the vapor fuel,$20.Shipping for Fedex was $5.50 for me.I'm mad I didn't get mine for $112 or $109,but oh well.LURKERS,messed me up lol...

 

[Mzz Mac]

Yeah......I just placed an order even though I feel like they are taking advantage of us. I inquired about the price and she stated that it was $119. I said at some point, was this flat iron $109? She said yeah, they were when they first started selling them but since then has changed.
I guess too many sistas are able to afford the $109 so let's up the price cuz they are gonna buy it anyway like it's hair crack.
Yeah....I went ahead and ordered it too, along with the vaporfuel refill. They make me sick.....I need help...But I was sure to put it on my American Express just in case I have any problems.

Okay nah, let ME stop thinking out loud!

In the meantime, I need to check out the warranty on baby girl

Cheecky sales people
Tell us the results when you've tried 'cause I so want one

 

[Mzz Mac]

Oh you know I most definitely will!

 

[MahoganyJazz]

If you live in TX, there is sales tax. That's why mine is lower, I'm out of state.

 

[mzsophisticated26]
