    So I bought the Aspire Triton RTA System RBA head thinking it would fit in the eleaf Melo 3, but I was wrong. The knurled part of the base is oh-so-slightly too wide for the tank to screw together properly. This could possible be remedied by sanding it down as little as 0.25mm. Can't be too much because the o-ring needs that part to be wider in order to be stopped from slipping upward as you screw the head into the base.

    Now to figure out how I'm going to tackle that...

    Maybe just wrap sandpaper around and slip on a short piece of the right size rubber tubing from an auto parts store and do it by hand.

    I just went over my complete RDA RTA collection and realized that I have exactly two functional mouth to lung atomizers. And of course discovered a week ago that I was suddenly really into that. Thank God one of them is one that I actually do like the doggie But the other is the original Aries and I have a really difficult time getting the legs to lock in without springing out even with basic round wire.

    I tried to order my last e-juice order off of them and I'm in Florida which has very little laws pertaining to e-cigarettes other than using them indoors in a business. This was 3 weeks ago and when I tried to check out with almost $200 worth of stuff it just circled and circled and circled and circled and circled and circled and circled.

    They fixed it after people were having problems, because the site was working fine, with no problem, on March 19th. I placed an order for $349.83 (the cost before the discount) at 1:59PM, and then came on ECF and posted about the big 40% off discount and gave the code. Several local friends and other members also then placed orders without a problem. My order was shipped that day and was delivered on March 22nd.

    Maybe. It had been going on for a month at least I don't know what was the cause though. I had ordered things from them before and I thought they were spectacular. on their Facebook page they were telling people to contact them directly so they had a work around it wasn't like they were just ignoring people as far as I know. I just got the same price elsewhere without having to talk to people on the phone which is a personal issue I have lol.

This was 3 weeks ago and when I tried to check out with almost $200 worth of stuff it just circled and circled and circled and circled and circled and circled and circled. It would not go through and then I go on their page and I find out people have had this problem for the past like 3 to 6 months people have been complaining about it I'm not surprised that they perhaps didn't make any effort notifying their customers about the state thing. I don't know maybe they're just very busy but I can't imagine they were that busy 3 weeks ago..

    They want 35 smackers to ship a 43 oz package via Priority Mail FLAT RATE with Adult Signature.

    Commercial Base rate for this would cost $15 total with PM Flat Rate Padded Mailer (free) and Adult Sig Restricted service.

    That's $20 for labor, label, ink/toner, wear-n-tear.

    IVS can kiss it.

    Wow. Just for fun I've been checking out shipping rates for the adult signature and I'm actually surprised how many places have managed to add on only $5. Probably temporary because it's still USPS Now I don't know if they're eating some of that cost because I'm not that well versed with the post. every time I mail a package the shipping costs more than it would when you look up the chart based on weight...every single time. I literally bought a printer so that I could start doing it based on the rates that I'm seeing online.

    While I don't imagine that using marijuana while driving will ever be just straight legalized I can imagine scenarios where you're walking down the street vaping trying to convince the officer that it is in fact marijuana. Hopefully it doesn't come to that

    My thought is that now people will be getting high legally they will be making bad decisions about driving or maybe not recognizing the effects on their ability to drive or anything really that requires attention and focus. I feel like with vaping nicotine at least you have to be pretty ripped to be impaired. If anything, in normal doses, nicotine would probably have a positive effect on attention.

    Buy your shipping labels through Paypal Shipping or Shippo and you get Commercial Base rates. Also allows you to buy First Class, which you cannot buy on USPS.com, plus USPS.com is retail rates anyhow. Go to the Post Office and you pay retail rates and for First Class you have to pay an extra $0.90 for tracking on First Class Package...and wait in line for the privilege.

    that makes a lot of sense I think it was actually you who I first saw talk about PayPal shipping and that's where I looked up the rates and I was like well dang I'm paying too much and I'm waiting in line for 35 minutes to do it.

    I don't even really know how they would verify intoxication with MJ because my understanding was always that in a urinalysis even 3 weeks later it would remain in your system.Perhaps they would simply not care acting intoxicated come up positive equals under the influence... I think they have oral swabs that are less precise but could determine if someone had used within maybe a day or so I'm not sure maybe it's hours I have no clue... I wonder if they'll have something like that for nicotine an oral swab I bet they do for parents who want to find out if their kids are using nicotine.

    But I think you're absolutely correct with the legality I think the rate of driving while intoxicated on MJ is going to go up. Again I have no problem with MJ for people but I do have a problem with intoxicated driving no matter what it is

    @MikeE3 reminded me on to shippo. Heard of them before, but never used them. I intend to use them next time I have to ship something.

    Legalization doesn't cause bad decision making. It's no different than drinking, which is legal, when it comes to personal responsibility. Impaired driving is impaired driving and the law treats them the same, as a DUI.

    I stopped shipping without printing a label online first the first time I sold something on eBay and got a discount for going through them. Since then all shipping has had discounts on online services. I tend to use UPS for stuff to Dad and USPS for eBay sales, what little I have.

    Recently learned USPS does free pickups for packages too. I'm planning on selling some shoes pretty soon and trying not to leave my house for the entire process.

    And you can order free shipping supplies from USPS online and they will deliver them to you for free.

    Restricting legal access to alcohol reduces alcohol related vehicular incidents: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1060947?seq=1

    Not to say I believe in making alcohol, nicotine, or marijuana illegal. What I mean to say is that if NY is opening up options to make recreational marijuana use more available, it doesn't make sense to me to restrict availability of tobacco-free nicotine, which in my personal opinion is a less harmful substance.

    Ordered from lnw on the last day for consumer orders, just got a partial gallon of nic with a notice from the mailman that it arrived damaged. Submitted a ticket, now I guess I have to find someone still selling nic. So much for being stocked up
    I wonder if ours were on the same pallet? Mine is still sitting in Phoenix at the PO.
