Yeah, like I said, the tank is about (well boo, I said 45mm), it's around 43mm. I thought the XLs would be better. The 25mm is the base size, not the height.

I bought a fill tool and a carto punch when I got the tanks. ;) Thanks!

Ok, so XL it is!

@rosesense I saw those and really thought about it, but I reallllly want below 2ohms. I actually vape around .4 or .5 right now.
Yes, XL for that one. Tiny overage in size, but not an issue, I've had that size many times.
I was going by what they still had. Sorry for any confusion.

Ok, well I went ahead and bought a buncha cartos from Alvin ecigs. They did have the 1.5s in clear left. I also bought some of the 2.5s. Desperate times may call for desperate measures. If someone in the dark ages wants to start vaping, they would be good for that as well. :)

Eeee, I have a Gear Best order sitting in Chicago right now! :(

So........Does "processed through our facility on 7/27" ( this is in Chicago) mean it's been released? Or is customs still holding on to it? I'm a little concerned after reading the linked thread over this particular package because it does have the vendor's shop name on it.

BTW, the one time I did have a vape package seized and inspected I *think* it just said arrived and it sat there for days.

I just received my vape gear related order from GearBest that was held up in Chicago for 3 full weeks. I had to sign for it, which I have never had to do before and it was a very small $30 order. I have another order from GearBest, which does not contain anything vape related, that has been parked in Chicago now since the 22nd so I am not convinced it has anything to do with vape related stuff.

I actually keep up with exactly how long my FT orders take. From shipping date, Acceptance, Leaving China, ISC... My final order SHOULD arrive on Friday, August 5th. That's cutting it close! It's about a $30 order. Hopefully it will sail though Miami and be here in time!

Well aside from ED's shipping cost, I skipped out cause it would be a verrrrrrrrry long time before I ever opened one bottle out of the cube. I've already got over 6,000 ml of pre-made juice & another 2,400 ml on the way. That's a lot of juice for one person. :thumbs:

Yep! That's over 3 1/2 years for me.

I don't know what facility Smoant uses out of China but the product I purchased was from a US vendor.
Does it have a warranty card? Sometimes there are US based places that will fix your product. I know that IPV does.

LOLOLOL!!!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who backed out once seeing the shipping charges.
I had bought the cube a few days ago and it arrived today with the brown truck. Yeah the shipping price is a killer but you get it asap.

If you need a Carto punch highdesertvapes has a round one on sale, also get the fill tool at big daddy it comes in delrin or stainless, fill tool makes your life easier with tank Cartos :)
I could never get the hang of those fill tools. I used to just insert a flexible drip tip to help guide the carto into the tank and then filled the carto and the tank by the(inner) outside wall, tilting it. Took a couple of extra mins to do this way, but once you do it, its easy.

As far as shipping cost on the cube.... back when I bought mine, I had calculated the cost per ml and compared it to the VG I was buying at the time. (Humco from Walmart) It was much cheaper per ml, including the shipping. That's been months back, YMMV.
I just did that a week ago, and immediately placed an order with ED. How much money I have been wasting. I now have 6 pints of 50/50 in the closet. Finished out my gallon of PG from Tractor Supply.

umm guy,,,,gals
You know that pg is good for wiping down your car seats(leather) and helps preserve them. It is also good on wood furniture. And you can add a little vg to your shampoo and conditioner. It lasts longer that way and leaves your hair looking great.
just a thought.

It was bought from a US site with a 90 warranty. I contacted them within the 90 days & they sent me to the manufacturer who did nothing but tell me to buy it again so they could save on shipping.

And here I am sitting here with a defective tank & was told via email from the company I got it from that due to high cost to ship from China, I need to just go ahead & purchase a new one TO SAVE THEM MONEY! :-x

I do believe that warrants a trip to the Negative Review Forum. :D

I had a problem getting age verified at Mad Vapes. Their system rejected me instantly without apparently trying to verify me on-line.

I just got a reply to my ticket. The reason I was rejected is that they will no longer be sending stuff to Utah, Indiana, North Dakota, and Arkansas.

Not sure why Mad Vapes is out ahead on this one. All they said was "due to laws and regulations". Maybe it's just that the regulations are rather fuzzy and each vendor has to take their own best guess about what to do.

Not the deeming but the Indiana laws is what did this.
