There is no ban on importing vaping gear. Customs can open every vapemail they want and there is nothing they can do about it. And the sales had been done outside of the US. As the FDA only has the power to regulate manufacturing and sales of vape gear inside of the country. And vape development is still going strong. Nothing has slowed down outside of the US at all.

They can control the sale of e-cigs to citizens within the US. That means they can check for and seize products that doesnt meet their regulatory requirements. I doubt they will do it on a individual package level, but that doesn't mean they can't.
No they can't. The FDA for example, has no authority with consumers buying medication outside of the country. That is why you can buy cheaper medication from Canada or wherever today through the mail. Same with vape gear.
The only real thing this is going to accomplish is to hurt small US businesses. It's ridiculous on so many levels.

Yup, I've seen the FDA put so many great small businesses out of business. But the same people who head the FDA are the very same ones who has ties to large corporations. And large corporations hate small businesses.
It would kinda be stupid expensive to ship a reuleaux from the EU to evolv for just a screen. Maybe I should just find a broken down RX200 and have a modder gut it and shove a 250 in there with a proper 510. But man is it hard finding somebody to do this haha.
but yeah my reuleaux is damn messed up.
you could order just the screen and replace it by yourself. not that hard, no soldering required. just a simple latch.It would kinda be stupid expensive to ship a reuleaux from the EU to evolv for just a screen.

I know. but in the end it still doesn't fix the 510 issue. like its loose. If i push sideways with a screwdriver the threads move around. so the entire thing is loose. and then you have that insulator on the 510 pin that just looks old and worn out. it looks like its cracked on the surface.
Unfortunately I don't have the skill to drill out the space for a fatdaddy 510 and dremel out the insides. Not to mention unsoldering the board to work on the enclosure and then having to solder everything back together in such a small space. Hell I was screwing up soldering my first DNA 200 DIY box and I had massive amounts of space in that enclosure

No gear is gona last if its treated like that lolIt would kinda be stupid expensive to ship a reuleaux from the EU to evolv for just a screen.

yea i hear ya. the 510 pin on my dna 200 relo is stuck partially down and only certain tanks will work now. i''m debating whether i want to gut the entire mod and throw in a 250 with a new varitube or FDV's V4 low pro 510. if i go that route i might well replace all the wiring as well, except for the atty out wires. those are sufficiently sized.
edit....with the new dna 250 you could use an rx 200 sled that doesn't have the reverse batt protection rings on the positive terminals. now that the 250 has a reverse batt protection mosfet.

I actually do take care of my devices. it did fall once. but for the rest that is just from being in my hand and my jacket's inner pocket. I don't put it in pockets with metal .... so I actually have no idea how it got so bad.
hell my cuboid is scratched as hell too.
Was posted on ECR. Might have been vendor to vendor as one person suggested, but its not good a sign if they are intercepting national shipments. We will see as more deliveries are hitting customs in the next few weeks months. I still think they they can confiscate any product that they regulate and hasn't been permitted in the US.

Don't know the poster didn't really expand on it.
I am bothered by the fact that it was grabbed after it had gotten past Alaska unless they don't have a customs.
The FDA tried that crap with medication purchased outside of the country. But they had to stop after a court order.
Not entirely accurate. Is it legal for me to personally import drugs? current as of 3/2016.
I am unaware of any court decision rescinding that since it was posted on 3/4/2016. As noted, there are exceptions under certain circumstances, but import of a non-FDA approved drug which is not for a serious condition and otherwise unavailable in the US is prohibited. My bet, vape stuff isn't considered required for a serious condition.
In addition, tobacco products are regulated outside "classic" drug regulations. So it is legal if the FDA states an item is not eligible for sale in the US under the Deeming regulations, and the FDA dictates enforcement of that ban at level of Customs inspection. Whether they will or not remains to be seen. And as mentioned, overseas orders for personal quantities of medications are not always intercepted, but can be if they fail to meet the requirements laid out on that FDA guidance page.
