I never see DHL, it's always handed off to USPS for the last leg of the journey. Of course, most of my DHL purchases are Chinese "filters". I imagine those will still get delivered if they make it through customs.

Yes, that's DHL Ecommerce. UPS and FedEx have a similar service where USPS makes the delivery. The UPS service is called SurePost and FedEx calls theirs SmartPost.

BTW: Fasttech is using "Accessories" now. I guess "filters" became too risky since covid-19 because mask imports were being scrutinized.

I suppose that this could make it hard for brick and mortar stores to get inventory shipped to them.

I just ordered 3 more mechanical mods.

I believe it only applies to shipments to end-users. Otherwise it would be an outright vape ban since no business would be able to stock their stores.

AFAIK... B2B Shipments would not be effected under these Jenkins Act changes.

Sorry for the delay... the holidays.
I was pulling the cover off and the battery holder came out revealing the wires. I lost one of the pieces but I know it's under my laundry somewhere. I think I might be able to.put it back together.

I might or might not have about 3 gallons of 100mg/ml in my chest freezer. I might or might not have bottled it in 250ml glass bottles w/polycone caps as suggested by a University chemistry professor/Author that vapes instead of imagining that I'm smarter and experimenting with untested methods. I might or might not be using 5 & 6 year old nicotine that's as perfect as the day I might or might not have received it.
Chest freezer for long-term storage only gets opened to replace the 250ml bottle of each in the fridge freezer that feed the 60ml bottle of each in the back of the refrigerator that serve as "using bottles". Good as new. Yum.

Some suppliers will continue to ship but they're facing thousands of dollars in fines & possibly jail time according to Dimitris & Phil. Jail time for shipping a reduced harm product while a known killer of 480K Americans per year stays perfectly legal (although also not USPS ship-able). I'm grateful that I started vaping when I did and had the foresight to plan ahead to protect my supply. Preppers are perceived as nuts until they prove to be the last men standing.

I know it must have been asked already many times but the thread is too long to search it:

How long will pre-mixed vape juice 'usually' last in a sealed unopened container ???

Is it better to freeze and/or refrigerate it ???

I use a pod systems {usualy smok} - How long will the batteries usually last when used, and what is the shelf life of the batteries if I just keep it in the box and haven't used it yet ? Another words If I buy a smok pen now and just let it sit, will it be good to go 5 years from now, or will the battery have gone bad by then ???

THANKS !!!

Due to a recent experience I had, which I posted in this thread about a month or so ago (but I'm too lazy to find lol), I would say that long term juice storage should be in the fridge if just for a few months and in the freezer if you're looking close to a year or longer. At "room temperature" or warmer, chemicals from LDPE bottles will in fact leach into your juice and make you feel sick. In fact, i think putting it in glass would be your best bet, then transfer to plastic (if you prefer plastic like I do).

I can't say anything for HDPE or PET, but I wouldn't chance it.

After my incident, I took a 1L bottle of juice that I don't vape often out of it's HDPE bottle and put it in a mason jar and stuck it in the fridge.

I don't know and honestly I don't think anyone can really answer that question with any certainty. I have a bunch of cigalikes and Ego batteries that I recently bought and my plan is to take them out of storage about once a year and see how much charge they have by putting them on a meter, then charging them a bit if needed. That's gonna be a hell of a job. :(

Integrated battery vapocalypse devices are a gamble.

What I dread with all these hesitant restrictions / bans they make against the vapers, is the availability of juice & nic in the future.
I'm a little eager to go DIY..

In a few months I will have finished stocking up on the mods and attys I like, but these are German products that will be available for a long time no matter what happens. Just need to have the bucks for it.

Assuming it actually works, it looks totally fixable to me, even if it has to be glued.
