Till the next sale that is... What you going to do if they have a 50% off sale on the Radius???
That would be costly for me. I have a dozen Provaris (only 1 Radius), but would be all over more than a few Radius or Procyon mods if they were closer to $100 than $200.

I am stocked up across the board now, but my shiny thing resolve would be vastly overmatched by a sale on 40-50w Provaris.

Well if they had a fire sale I could go for a Procyon, but can't get one at current prices.

And to add to my previous post, I truly believe China will be wide open in the hardware dept for 2 more years. And I mean WIDE open. States can't stop them from anything. Only the Feds. China will be slippery as an eel getting stuff to our mail boxes.

After the endless boxes of nicotine, wire, cotton, flavoring, bottles, graduated cylinders, syringes, authentic tank RTA & RDAs, clone tank RTA & RDAs and the piles of atomizers you could hope so. But no... ordered an authentic Dark Horse ($20) and an authentic Tsunami ($20) today, as I could not resist the sale! I am done now... ?
It's fun though! What other hobby would see me shopping in farm feed store (syringes), Sally's Beauty Supply (Rayon) an industrial supply store (wire), Walmart (VG), Shoppers Drug Mart (PG), meet a guy I barely know in a parking lot (NIC) and recieve weird shipments regularly from China? All in one week!!! :D

I actually went hog wild on tanks, because I never did a rebuildable before so I got 2 of everything MTL, single coil with good reviews. Not thinking of rebuild kits for all of them, but found quite a few kits and ones I didn't oh well will just use until they break. I do have many Kayfuns too. So done there, just waiting on parts and tanks to arrive.

I know really how could they stop screws and springs, o rings and stuff like that?

Same here. I am done buying $100-200 mods. My Radius, Snow Wolf, SX Mini and 2 P3's is enough for me and my wife to do our 20-40w vaping. Plus I have a few iSticks and Kanger KBoxes.

I wouldn't buy a 2.5 @ $99, but at $50 I bought two and at $29, I grabbed 4. Same deal with more Radius and Procyons. I would have a hard time resisting them if they went <$100 on sale.

For o-rings, you could take all your original rings to a local hydraulics supply, if you have one, and let them size them, should be able to get just about anything you want.
My hubby said he had a chart somewhere for finding sizes for hydraulics o rings, his passion is tractors, so he has his own stock pile of stuff LOL That chart could come in handy for sizes.

They can't.

Also, places like FT likely sell more sex toys, electronic components and remote controlled vehicles than vaping gear, so even tanks, mods and other vaping gear wont all be intercepted even if illegal. The govt would be opening up a lot of iPhone case and screen protector shipments, for example.

Good to remember order sex toys with o rings screws and other vape needs. Not sure why when I looked for o rings I got sex toys popping up! LOL :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well, at least if you notice a lot of helicopter activity over your house, and that same utility truck parked down the block for days, you'll know why.

Pretty sad that we may have to order sex toys just to smuggle in our vape parts. :D What a crazy situation your FDA is pushing us towards!

Back when I would spec out and order such things, inch sized (SAE) O-rings were called out by "dash number", while metric sizes were spec'd by actual O-ring ID and thickness (MM). There are many good on-line sources for O-rings.
