    I'd go as far as saying that the flavor I'm getting from the Insider is better than what I've gotten from any RTA I've used with other mods and better than my trusty Radius/Kabuki setup. Definitely try the Stram Tuners instructions I posted above, they work perfectly!

    No problem at all! I just rewicked the Insider according to the instructions given to me by Steam Tuners and proceeded to refill the Boro. Zero leaks! 1. please cut the cotton as i show you with the vertical lines(you dont need so much cotton ) 2. then wick it, put on the chamber and try not...

    I posted a question about the Insider leaking issue on their FB group and they replied very quickly via PM, giving me a detailed rundown of what could be causing the issue, complete with photos. Their customer service is absolutely outstanding, but I would expect nothing less from a high end...

    While I haven't tried the Uno, I managed to score the Insider at Wicks & Wires. It's very simple to build and wick; the vape quality is incredible. My only complaint is that it leaks rather heavily when I refill the tank. The leaking goes away after I remove the tank and wash off the leaked...

    Vape Mail Stuck in Chicago USPS 60701

    I presume it depends on the routing of the plane on which a package has been loaded, or, if it's coming by land, which ISC is closest to the border crossing. Of course, when weather is factored in, the shipments could go anywhere. My package cleared the Chicago ISC quickly, but was stuck at...

    If my inquiry was the thing that got the package moving, it's good to know that there's at least some recourse available to us!

    Vape Mail Stuck in Chicago USPS 60701

    I submitted an inquiry via the USPS website on Saturday and received a phone call yesterday afternoon, which I found a bit odd, considering that it was Sunday. The USPS employee who called me was extremely rude and wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. She stated that the USPS will take as...

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the "In Transit to Destination" is a status that's automatically generated by the tracking system when there has been no movement of the package in 18 hours. Here's a Reddit thread where a USPS employee explains this status in detail. Item In Transit...

    I generally avoid ordering from overseas vendors, as the combination of US Customs and USPS is a modern take on the wild west and courier delivery (FedEx, UPS, etc.) is prohibitively expensive. I once had two Amazon orders from the UK disappear into thin air after being scanned in at the NY ISC...

    Vape Mail Stuck in Chicago USPS 60701

    I'm worried about the fact that it's been sitting in Chicago since March 12 without any kind of movement. Besides, I paid extra for a 6 business day delivery, so my concerns are definitely not unwarranted. A cursory search yielded countless horror stories pertaining to this particular USPS...

    I have the same exact M Class and its a monster of a mod. While it's certainly heavy, it's built like a tank.

    For the most part, I'd say 9 out of 10 deliveries, I haven't had too many issues with USPS. Unfortunately, the issues happen frequently enough to cause concern. As of a minute ago, the status of my package still hasn't updated. The expected delivery date is still listed as yesterday, with no...

    Vape Mail Stuck in Chicago USPS 60701

    I heard that signing up for text/e-mail alerts sometimes gets the package moving in the USPS system, but I chalk the successful stories up to coincidence. If the package doesn't arrive by next Thursday (a week from today's scheduled delivery), I'll start making calls. If worst comes to worst, I...

    Thanks for the clarification. Learn something new every day! About a month ago, I placed an order with Crème de Vape, a UK-based vendor, which was in my mailbox 6 days from the day I placed the order. Then again, it went through customs in NYC, which only took a day - I just looked up the...

    I thought the packages clear customs once they are released from the ISC? I don't order a lot of things from overseas vendors, so I'm clueless when it comes to customs and USPS.

    What I don't understand is how they are getting away with it. It's no secret that the USPS is not known as a competent organization, but this is just ridiculous. It's not just vape mail that's affected by whatever is going on at that facility. There are similar reports on Etsy and eBay.

    I sent it via UPS Ground, which, unfortunately, doesn't deliver on Saturdays. Gotta love weather delays!
