Maybe i should start putting mine in another room so i have to walk to go get it haha.In the 2 1/2 years since i started vaping,i have gained a bit over 50 pounds,although i think that has more to do with quitting the cigarettes,since i think they curbed my appetite,now i eat everything haha.
That is why I vape desert flavors a lot! I don't eat them, I vape them, my weakness is deserts :)

I like to keep my orders below $20 so they don't need a signature.

That's the difference then.I usually hit the order button around the $35 mark.I figure at that price it gets me the free epacket shipping,and if it gets lost i'm not out a bunch of money.I have made a few orders in the $80-$90 range,but i don't do that now,i was extremely nervous on both of those until they were in my hands haha.
It must be different in Canada,even my high priced orders didn't require a signature,which is good since i'm at work when my mail runs,so i would not be here to sign for them.

Keeping it below 20 bucks also keeps customs off our back. The rules regarding paying duty and taxes on stuff coming into the country are ridiculous. Definitely a racket going on with that.

That's my problem though,if i vape something sweet,then i get the urge to eat something sweet haha.
I eat pretty lite at work during lunch,but then when i get home,i'm hungry,so i developed a frozen burrito habit,which i'm pretty sure has contributed probably 40 pounds of my weight gain.I really should stop though,because i get a few comments a week from coworkers about my "beer belly",but since i don't drink,i have to correct them and tell them it's my burrito belly haha.

    @Semiretired, hope you like provari's! I just got the last of my Labor Day sales.

    ohmygosh I got a 30ml of fried flurry from LV for $0.01 and it smells so good. I wanted to eat it. I have all the sample flavors I wanted to try and am looking forward to making some juice! Yay!!
    What is fried flurry? Was that a sample with your order? Their way of addressing the no samples thing?

    When I started vaping a year ago it was only straight tobacco pre-made juice then I ventured into ry4 variants and didn't think I would ever like recipes with no tobacco in them. Now all the new recipes I am making to test are primarily non-tobacco dessert/sweet recipes. I haven't tried many fruity/berry recipes yet but I did grab some strawberry ripe on my last order to give it a try. I still have a number of ry4 variants in my 'to test' category of my calculator program but I can see myself vaping those less and less as time goes on now.
    I did just the opposite. Started off with VERY sweet mixes (added stevia to almost everything) and have been vaping mostly tobacco's the past year or so (and NET'S the past few months).

    Guess I am NOT done stocking up despite getting my liter of nic the other day! I gonna freeze it and it came into a plastic bottle :eek:
    Shopped around and the best deal I could find was RTS for 120 ml bottles 120ml Cobalt Blue Glass Bottle
    I wanna 60 or 120 ml bottles filling up near max as it will last approx 6 months or 1 year every time I take it out.
    Then of course, I am adding on.......:rolleyes:

    Spent time looking over those Real Flavors and oh my, must order! LOL Have to wait until my CC arrives tho!
    Got my cc the next day so no excuse for slowing down except I don't need anything. Oh wait, that excuse doesn't work either.

    I forgot you guys have all that crap to deal with.A few years ago i sold a bunch of rc car magazines on ebay,and the guy that bought them lived in Canada and was talking about the ridiculous amount he had to pay for all those extras on top of the crazy high shipping.I think he was in Ontario maybe,it is the city just across from Michigan,and they charged like $35 shipping just to take it across the border,that's crazy to think they can charge that much to ship to you guys,when i've got packages from the U.K. and usually only cost me $7-$8.

    Yep, anything above 20 bucks is supposed to have duty and taxes paid on it. However, Canada Post tends to ignore it. The shipping companies like FedEx and UPS do collect it and you won't get your stuff until you pay up.

    IF you haven't already ordered those...you might want to check GlassBottleOutlet prices on the Cobalt ones, because here's their prices for their Amber Glass Boston Round Bottles with the Polycone Cap:

    2oz. (60mL) w/polycone cap = $.41
    4oz. (120mL) w/polycone cap = $.48

    I compared the top 3 places most on here get their glass bottles from, when I was ready to place a couple orders...and found that GBO really beat out everyone else price-wise.

    Edit: Just looked up GBO Cobalt ones:

    2oz. (60mL) w/polycone cap = $.52
    2 oz. Cobalt Blue Boston Round with Black Poly Cone Cap (20/400)

    4oz. (120mL) w/polycone cap = $.66 (RTS is $1.15 for the same bottle & cap)

    Fried flurry smells like fried dough. The description says fried light cinnamon sugar batter w/ frozen vanilla bean ice cream. I haven't tried it yet. It was a sample with my order and the $0.01 price was after I reached a certain dollar amount in my cart. I don't know the limit. I am going to say my actual order was for around $60ish. I ordered some wire, coil 521 tab and batteries for it. I'm going to say yes, their way of addressing samples.

    I have taken off more weight than that in the past 3.5 years and I only started vaping 14 or 15 months ago and have lost weight since then as well. I started to count my calories religiously and weigh everything I eat at home on a food scale and would track my daily walks and bike rides with my phone to adjust my daily calorie deficit. I actually had a hard time not losing more weight when I got to my goal weight this spring and finally caved in to the fitness tracker craze to better track my cals out vs in with a fitbit.

    I've ordered a few Provari's, the Fed Ex shipping has been around $32, and Provape is paying the custom and duties. I have never had to pay anything to Fed Ex for those shipments.
