Missing out on a Washington Post article will not go down as a low point in my day.

My favorite business model is: if you are losing money then you raise your prices, simultaneously you cut your service. You will quickly find that your streets are magically paved with gold.

Funny. I saw the highest shipping price ever from the US just the other day. There was a mod on "vaping Cheap" for a really nice price, all thou i didn't need it, I'm a sucker for a deal! Turns out 2 shipping options to Canada both USPS, were $65 & $85 USD! Needles to say with the enormous shipping it was no longer a Deal :( Actually made it twice as much as from some china sites!

I got curious and went to Gas City Vapes in Canada to see if the shipping went up the other way around. And I was shocked first by this message.

Due to new Canadian regulations on CRC compliant containers we can no longer carry SXK Billet box.

Me:
What is a CRC compliant container? :blink:
Google: The Child-Resistant Container (CRC) requirements under VPLPR for refillable vaping devices and refillable vaping parts come into force on Jan 1, 2021.

You got to be kidding me! But I bet booze and cigarettes doesn't need to be CRC compliant. What good is a mod without a tank? How about a RDA? I guess a squonker is just out of the question.

Anyway shipping was always $7.88 to the US. I tossed a Supbox RBA (that's ok, but you can't buy the tank) in the cart and checked the shipping and it is now $13.09. I guess it isn't that bad the other way around.

"With all that information, I could build a profile on you. I'll know exactly what you're doing, who you're calling, what's going on. I'll know when you get a voicemail notification. I'll know who left the voicemail. I'll know how long that voicemail was left for. When you make a phone call, I'll know exactly where you made that phone call from," a telecom industry insider, who asked to remain anonymous as he was not authorized to speak to the press, told Motherboard in a call. "I’ll know more about you than your doctor."

Just an FYI, I got one of these for $14 & the build quality is quite good! It's a 22mm Mosfet mod so any thing bigger than a 22 will over hang! I toped it with a 22 mm K-F 2021 YFTK Clone, also really nice quality unit! It's a perfect little MTL set up :)

Buy Atto Style 18350 / 18650 Mechanical Tube Mod Silver

I have a Black one (Sold Out Now :() coming, I topped it with a DVARW FL 22 mm Another OutStanding MTL atty :)
