I made one order with vaporl and I managed to bypass fasttech. Just don’t like waiting. My picos took forever from vaporl and I have no patience. But I couldn’t read all of the article as it fades out since I’m not a member of that publication. But I read enough. :facepalm:

Edit: I read my “one article” and finished the story. It’s all just so ridiculous. And the big brands just bending over and taking it without so much as a whimper...or fighting back. Grr

Seems as if we'll all be done stocking up soon, whether we want to or not
Depends. FT orders have been taking more than a month for me. Their prices are great. Their shipping is not. So unless the orders I have pending in the mail deserve a reorder I wont be buying there anymore.

I picked up two years worth of coils from FT today, the nautilus BVC and zenith are both cheaper there, they are slow, but that is ok by me as long as they get here eventually! LOL

Funny, I was just (moments ago) trying to order a couple of Pico's from them. What's "forever?" More than 3 weeks? Longer than FT? And are you in US?

I had 2 in my cart at $16.09 each from a couple of days ago, went to check out, and price is over $20 now. Can't remember whatever code I used originally.

Dang! Glad I put that FT order in coils today, I might have just slipped in, in time!

It probably took three weeks or so. That’s a long time to me waiting on vapemail. :laugh: I think mine were $16.

I don't mind the wait if it is cheap and the shipping is free as long as I know I will get it.

Technically it is not a law yet... so I think they will hold out.
I don't trust it tho, the domino's are falling faster that we can keep up with lately. One China seller Albia ?? is no longer selling vape so it can happen fast. It could shut down overnight, one never knows.

Alibaba didn't quit selling to the US because it was their choice though. They and 3 other major companies in China were cited by the US as companies no longer allowed to deal with us. For Alibaba, it was specifically because of human rights violations...concerning their employees.

Alibaba then came out with a publicized statement that said they'd decided to not sell to US customers...because of concern with protecting the children and because of the recent lung issues with vaping.

Really? Nope...trying to CTA and save face. ;)

I'm not really one to say I told you so, but this may be an exception in regards to my wife. Recent happenings really justifies my recent purchases of hardware and nic, which she was not happy about at all. I tried to explain as best as I could the impending doom, but she didn't really believe it, or believe my stocking up was necessary.

Well I lied to you guys... and to myself. I said I wasn't going to put in another order until Thanksgiving sales and that idea lasted a whole two days.

I think they've discontinued Top Tanks because in all of my shopping lately the only place that had authentics was MFS. So I jumped on the chance to get 17% off (17OFFALL) and got a Toptank Mini kit, and four Toptanks, one of each color.

AND I remembered the cotton this time!

Got my two Geekvape Blades and two Zeus X in the mail today but our office admin left early and she was the only one with the key to the mailbox. Hope they survive the cold over the weekend.
Nah you didn’t lie, you just changed your mind. On an item you really need.

Yeah, my wife doesn't complain. She's glad I don't stink. Or cough. And that I'm better in bed.

But that doesn't mean she understands me vaping. She quit cold turkey after my mother died of lung cancer, almost 20 years ago, so she always wondered why I didn't. I've never spent that much. But I'm going to have to tell her this weekend to expect some new charges on the card, and that they're not fraud. And I'll tell her, as much as she can understand it, why.

Thankfully, it won't take much more to get me set. Another $50 or so in nic. Maybe another couple hundred or so in more atties & mods. It'll make me comfortable for the next 20+ years. Maybe that won't be long enough, but if all my stock goes to hell, well....I was gonna quit anyway. Never intended to vape long. I'll take it as a sign, and just quit. Hell, I might decide to quit as soon as FT & others get me all my stuff. Been kicking it around anyway, but I damn sure don't want to quit because "they" made me.
