I figured that there would likely be a delay, but hoping 9 weeks is not the new norm. All of the products in my order said "Ships next day" and there hasn't been any movement yet. JC seemed to have better luck recently so I'll just have to wait and see. It's all additional stockpile mods so I can wait.
I've been getting in stock orders from FT faster than that. The problem I ran into was them pushing back the shipping date multiple times to the point where it was two months and still didn't ship. I finally gave up and cancelled the order. The funny thing was that a few days later they sent me a message that they cancelled my original order and created a new one. I'm watching closely for my refund.
I never had a problem with getting a refund from FT when I use the automatic, self-serve order cancel function. (I never cancelled an order through customer service.)
The order gets canceled immediately on the site.
If you choose refund to gift certificate, the gift certificate is generated and available immediately.
If you choose refund to paypal, it takes 1-3 days for paypal to post the refund in your paypal account.

For those of you who like the TFV12 Baby Prince tank...you'll probably love this $6.00 price for them. It's the lowest I've seen it for. It sure beats EightVape's current $21+ "sale" price, as well as at several other sites, like Vaprzon's $9 price (which their discount codes don't work on to lower it any more). Free S/H kicks in at just $30, too, at Wet Vapes. As of last night they had the following still available in the tanks: Gold - 7, Red - 12, Lime Green - 4, and Pink - 27.
SMOK TFV12 BABY PRINCE TANK
They have some good deals on other things, too. So you may want to browse a bit before checking out.
ETA: The Baby Prince takes the same coils the Baby Beast does, so the other coils that are compatible with the Baby Beast...will also work in the Baby Prince tank.

My bank doesn't offer me the ability to create 'virtual credit card #'s' so I use this service, Blur: Keep your web activity and personal info private, to do that. They also allow me to specify an amount to put on that 'virtual card'. It costs me $2 to do this, but there is an annual subscription for $40.
Ha, one of my credit card companies sent me an e-mail today informing me of their virtual card number service. I will be looking into that!
I spent the afternoon "cooking" ejuice. I mixed up fifty 30ml bottles, 22 different flavors. That should last me 6weeks-2months. I've noticed that I'm going through nic a lot faster since I switched to the Smok Mag 225w with the Prince TFV12 tank. I may have to order another liter before the Deeming.
I just recently got the mag 225. I took the tank off of my obs cube x that I was running at 19 watts and put it on the mag. I had to turn the mag up to 35 watts to get the same performance. Have you noticed anything like that?
I run the Mag with included Prince tank. Its coils are rated for 60-110 watts, depending upon which coil you buy. I used to vape at 35 watts, but now vape at 75 watts, but I get much better performance than before. I don't recall what tank I had before, but the Prince puts it to shame. I did have to turn down the temperature on the Mag to keep it from vaping too hot at 75w.
Looks like NY is really turning unfriendly to vaping, time to see if there are a few last odds and ends I want to order.
From CASAA:
"Online sales are banned (vaping is folded into the same provision that bans shipment of cigarettes to consumers). The penalty for selling or shipping a vapor product to a consumer in NY is a Class A misdemeanor and carries a fine of $5000 or $100 per vapor product."
I don't know if the China suppliers will really care [emoji3]
Thankfully nic and all the basics are already in hand, though I may want to pick up one more SKD Alchemist mech squonker; it and the Pulse X are my daily high-use setups.

My cc got hacked a couple of days ago. I keep forgetting to use the virtual number. My cc company had replacement cards to my door in under 19 hours during a pandemic shutdown. I’m impressed. I was hacked around Christmas too. It’s getting old.
Yeah, but can they enforce their state laws upon (and issue punishments for breaking those laws to) out-of-state retailers?

I don’t think this will kick in until July, so there is still a little time.
I’m hoping to pick up a few more things before the balloon goes up.
Vape shops are almost dead here already, what with no flavors to sell.
This will pretty much finish the job.
What about phone sales?
I’m thinking that might be a loophole.
Is shipping actually banned or just online purchasing?
Unfortunately, based on retailers not selling to states that went through the flavor bans, I honestly expect at least U.S. vendors to stop sales to NY.
I was talking about the above with one of the guys from WetVapes.com (vendor who has the TFV12 Baby Prince tanks I posted about). He said there are a number of vape shops in NY (including them), who together...have lawsuits in the works to hopefully stop it all from hitting the fan in July.
The phrasing indicates it's sales or shipping to us in NY.
I should post my kanger tanks/coils classy in a couple weeks.
I might order another handful of the larger format squonk bottles (for 2x700 mods) from ft, possibly one more veco plus tank for euc heads. I'll have the hellvape destiny in this month, decide if that's worth picking up another.
I haven’t seen the actual wording of the bill yet.
I’d be curious to see if it bans delivery of vape products.
What if you walked into a vape shop, bought something, and then had it delivered?
That all gets murky, even if it is in the bill.
Can you ban delivery of a legally purchased commodity?
Can you still use a credit card for an in-store purchase?
Afterall, credit card purchases are all online purchases: they go through online, whether you are standing next to the merchant or not.
Curious to see how this plays out.

The 2 FT orders I posted about earlier, that I placed on March 23rd:
1st one, that shipped next day - was processed through US customs on April 8th, and has arrived at the Albany, NY Regional USPS facility this afternoon.
2nd one, that shipped 5 days later - details show "left Zhengzhou International Processing Center", on April 5th. Under the airplane icon it says "Item has shipped from its originating country and is in enroute to the destination country".
So, not too bad so far. Seems to be about the same time frame packages used to take before the Chinese New Year vacation time and the COVID-19 mess.
