Di - you're right, it's not just one supplier. I had a strange thing happen when something was shipped within the US. The package (priority mail) was torn open, the carts in side that were very well wrapped in bubble stuff, had one bubble wrap torn open on just the corner and one atty removed. The USPS left a note apologizing for the disruption and torn package but there is something more than that. They intentionally opened the package and had to work hard at opening the bubble wrap to take an atty out. Perhaps they had to have one to test, I don't know, but it was very strange indeed. I'm not trusting the USPS anymore.

thanks for this info------


you are the 3rd person to tell me this type of story:confused:


USPS is doing some strange things,

maybe they are making a list of places

from where ecig products are coming from

in case that law of -

NO IMPORTATION - SHIPPING OR TRANSPORTING OF ANY ecig RELATED PRODUCTS -- INTO -- OR WITHIN THE USA

comes into being--:(

they will already have a list of suspect origins and suppliers
to pounce on ----- ?????8-o

or

maybe their xray machines are picking up cylindrical objects with buttons on them --------
and they are thinking uh oh !!!!!!8-o

or maybe --- Mr USPS is a closet vapor,
and he has found the perfect way to keep up his supplies,
free of charge -- :-x

Well, mods aren't ecigs... They are just battery holders. You can screw anything that needs a battery on them, laser, leds, alarm systems, you can even use them as starters for F1 cars!

And atomizers are wind-proof lighters for our -legal- and *totally safe cigarettes, like zippos.

What is called the thing that someone can and will tell us what we can do with our bodies and what we can't... What? Slavery? Nooooo.

*We have the safety that cigarettes are going to kill us, but hey, if we pay big companies and big taxes, no problem.

i don't know who it was, but whoever it was , was a idiotic ..... for not thinking ahead.

What bright minded person would name a product that basically eliminates the need for cigarettes and then call it a e-cigarette.

REAL SMART GENIUS.

Now i thank the inventor of-ecigs whole heartedly but jesus christ, didn't any one think about big tobacco in advance.

Why hasn't the whole industry done a 360, stop calling these PV's , ecigs.

and then separate the juice and nicotine and have people add that themselves .

or else we could see a full ban eventually if these ...... have there way.

You all think you are so smart. In NY all smoking paraphernalia are illegal even though they can be used for tobacco. Just ask Tommy Chong who spent time in jail for selling bongs on the internet. Only rolling papers are legal because there still many old timers who roll their own.

It's Big Pharma you need to worry about. Your FDA would let e-cigs onto the market as tobacco products, but would much prefer them as medical devices for delivering nicotine?? Think again - 10 years and bazillions of dollars to get them approved.

That's what you get for calling them PVs...

I thought the same as you, originally, but then someone pointed this out to me. If it wasn't called an e-cig would I have been "lured" to a site called "personal vaporer"? The answer is no. It was the "cig" part that got me here.

I agree with you 100% but we also need to attract smokers. What ever do we do???

and i fully agree with the both of you as well, its catch 22 I guess because I was lured in because of the e-cig name.

It just tics me off these .......s might have there way on such a good product that literally cause someone to stop analogs overnight.

Nothing that big pharma pushes does that, nothing. and they know it and so does big tobacco and they are scared as hell.
