Are you done stocking up?

[Z-Lee]

Okay, nix everything. I just logged into my PayPal on my desktop and the payment finally went through. Odd that it wasn't showing on my phone which I checked a second before I got up out of bed to go to my desktop, lol. The delay must have been due to the holiday break.

Sorry for causing a ruckus.

Yeah, that's not an MTL tank whatsoever. There is a single coil RBA that you can buy to use on it though. It restricts the air intake somewhat, then by closing the airflow ring, and using a 510 drip tip (but you need an 810 to 510 drip tip adapter) you can make it more of a loose MTL tank. But as is from factory it's a high wattage DL tank.

Main reason I got the mod itself is I needed a new one. I had a VooPoo Drag from 2017. Just wanted a smaller single battery mod and while a bit overpriced from online, it was a kit that game with batteries and juice. The Vandy Vape berserker mini v2 is the one that interested me the most. Ideally I would love a Kayfun but I can't do that price wise.

I still have a tank that but it's designed for low builds and "cloud chasing". Not ideal but at least I can rebuild it and shut most of the air off. That satisfies the builder side of me.

I checked shipping and looks like they use USPS again, but who knows! I found this one, but know nothing about this supplier, anyone used them?? Dovpo X TVC Topside 90W Squonk Box ModSpecial Edition-Black/Red

That company looks a bit sketchy there.

On PayPal I see "Pending". As in, I can't pay off the amount because it's been posted, but not processed.

I don't know what you mean that you can't "pay off the amount". Did you buy with Paypal Credit or with funds from PP/Bank?

Which Kayfun are you looking for?

Buy a clone from FastTech... clones aren't bad. I have a dwarv MTL FL that's pretty good (the no-name clone with 10 inserts) a Coppervape Hussar project x clone that's good, and a Kayfun prime clone that's good...

All are affordable and FastTech IS shipping, just take a bit to reach you...

RE: Element Vape (posted on the shipping ban thread)...

Element Vape update from Facebook. It addresses the shipping delays with X.

“SHIPPING UPDATE: Element Vape will continue to resume shipping a majority of deliveries through USPS Service until the Final Ruling is announced. The ruling can happen at anytime in the near future and will severely impact nationwide coverage and service. All orders will continue to be quickly processed at our facility in less than 24 business hours and sent out to shippers for final deliveries.

Due to the restrictions put in place by the PACT Act, UPS, FedEx, DHL, many regional networks, and air carriers prohibits the mailing of vapor products. This means the only way to ensure continual delivery of vaping products to customers is by building a new network of trucks and local carriers to cover the entire United States.

We are aware that some customers may have experienced Tracking Issues and Delays from our new shipping carrier. The initial rollout was not to our expectation in terms of normal standards as well as the carrier's expectation. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Our team is following the progress of all orders and we are seeing improvements with the network, with a Majority of orders delivering between 5-12 business days from the last two weeks weeks. Unfortunately, some orders are taking up to 20 business days in certain regions and we are pinpointing these issues to get it resolve as soon as possible for our customers.

The major delay is due to volume increases that local carriers in certain regions are not accustomed to. We know this may be frustrating but our team are receiving information from customers that packages will be delivered and it is not lost. Please note that all parties are trying to tackle this logistical challenge and improve it day-by-day without any help from the biggest Shipping Service providers.

In the near future, we are pausing future shipments in areas that may experience major delays. Furthermore, we will be sourcing additional carriers to provide more options to the vaping community.

If you have any questions regarding your order, please do not hesitate to contact us at our Help Center.”​

How did you come across that site? I'm not going to tell you what to do, but you'd definitely be a guinea pig.

vapingland.com - thesiteRank
Be the first to write a review about Vapingland.

There's really nothing solid indicating reliability/unreliability in this site. At the prices for the Dovpo that you linked and the Dovpo Topside Lite I also see, you'd imagine that someone would come and gobble those up, but no one has. And many of these sites have the ability to control submitted reviews. Take that as you will.

Every shop didn't even know what "mouth to lung" is, and 6 of the shops didn't even know what an "RTA" is. Apparently none of the shops down here have rebuildables. All I wanted was an MTL RTA I did get a small Geek Vape Aegis and some Cerberus tank I absolutely don't like though.

OBS MTL is a great MTL RTA. You can find them at Sourcemore. It says pre-order, but I ordered one 4 days ago and it's already been shipped. $21.40 shipped.

My package has been sitting about 2 miles from my house since the 27th and they still can't manage to get it delivered.

Sometimes I think package tracking is almost worse... at least when you imagine a guy riding a horse delivering your package, there's a level of naivety that you're almost forced to accept.

PayPal Credit.

A hold is the same as it being paid... it's removed from available funds.

Your stressing too much as another poster says she has always been able to use PayPal with FT and when they denied my order they denied allowing me to check out at all without another form of payment..

So stop stressing, it went through...

I always imagine a Chinese man rowing a little boat from China with my package for FT orders, because that's about how long it takes...lol

But two miles away? Man you could walk it and get there sooner, even barefoot...

I would try finagling the system. That's part of why I was concerned on the first order I sent. Initially, there was no flag on anything when I opted to pay with PayPal credit, but then decided to instead to pay with a credit card - so I clicked on the cancel and return to shipping option in the PayPal popup window. When I got back on the main window, that's when I saw the warning "This shipment cannot be purchased through PayPal or Credit/Debit..." which I've now seen others post. I was like wtf (at the time, I had no idea that FastTech had posted that they would no longer be allowing payment through PayPal/Credit for vape items - so I thought that warning was an error of some sort). so I refreshed the page/opened the cart through a new window and that warning had disappeared. Shipment 1 and now shipment 2 are hopefully on the way.

Take it easy, okay? They only supplied him with one small rice hat, and that sun gets hot out on the great blue.

 

[bnrkwest]

Wow, it's been years since I've been on this forum.

I haven't stocked up because I've been clueless about everything going on. Spent a few hours yesterday going to 7-8 shops in 2 towns which has been frustrating in itself.

Every shop didn't even know what "mouth to lung" is, and 6 of the shops didn't even know what an "RTA" is. Apparently none of the shops down here have rebuildables. All I wanted was an MTL RTA I did get a small Geek Vape Aegis and some Cerberus tank I absolutely don't like though.

Stock now! Yes vape shops seem clueless except for pods, lots of pods

Lol... that's kind of what I was saying. I don't get testy with China orders because I know how long it takes...

But I do get testy with U.S. orders because again, I know how long it takes. If that posters package has been sitting in his local PO for that long I'd be at the post office by now saying "look"... lol

If you mean me, it's not at the PO. Evil X has got it.

Well that explains everything.
