I know what you mean & they will most likely go after the American sites selling the product.
But! technically, he is in possession of illegal banned "tobacco" products?

Well facebook called the movie "A billion Lives" a tobacco product. Had to laugh at their response in an email I got from them, "(now) they'll be in our next movie"

Yes I know. While the place is called on the shipping label as Europe Time G?m???. I couldn't make out the last word on both packages, it almost looks like Gamer.
I got them today and it isn't "Gamer" it's "GmbH" on the package.

While the package was in great shape, it looks like customs destroyed one DX200 1300mah battery box to inspect. The second one they left alone (both black). It sure had taken an odd route from NY to get to me. It was only 300 miles away from me a few days ago and then moved further away. The second order went from NY and now making the rounds around New England (it's a red one). Maybe that one will get here by Saturday.

Soooo....

If a Mod already existed pre 8/8, but they give it a new paint job, does this constitute it being a "New Product". The DX75 has been around for a while, pretty resin paint job is new.

According to mark bugs, no that doesn't constitute a new product? I commented on the $600 amulet and he replied to me saying it had to be released before 8/8 and the price and design hasn't been finalized. Leads me to believe he may alter it's appearance.

The IPV6 is new just hitting the stores now definatly Post 08/ 08/ 16
He even mentioned an IPV7 coming soon! Seems to me that things are still the same as pre 08
for Chinese manufacturers any way.
I wouldnt expect the "outside the usa" vape industry to shutdown post 8/8... New products will continue to be available.

I don't think the FDA or Customs will go after anyone or change things for the next two years. Much more profitable and much less effort to fine sellers and manufacturers for infractions after the fact. They can use that info as justification to deny applications for approval and fine them for infractions, charging accumulated interest, and take all the products off the market then in one fell swoop.

Much easier to enforce a blanket ban then, than to sort through who made what when now.

Every reviewer should be out there business as usual and I doubt they will get busted for the simple fact that the FDA overstepped and have no right to regulate free speech & they know it. If they bust the reviewers they will be hit with legal challenge to the FDA Deeming to strike it down.

The FDA is far more likely to hit Youtube with fines to ban the content to take away the reviewer's soapbox platform before going after individual users.
I can't imagine youtube or reviewers being fined or attacked because of vapor product or tobacco product... There is a magazine about weed! And that's 10000% illegal on a federal level... Instagram is filled with images of people who vape and smoke dope, searching for coffee pics in Google I've found tons of weed pics.... I think worrying about reviewer talking about vaping products is way way way paranoid?

Yup, enjoy the last few days of free speech on the internet, ICANN takes control of the net on the 1st of next month. Google it (while you can) LoL.

Tin foil hats here, get ya tin foil hats here!
This women says because she called Sen. Boxer's office to complain about ICANN taking control of the net, they sent a drone to her home a few hours later and she caught it on her security camera.

I feel like people are looking at me like I am wearing a Tinfoil Hat anytime I try to explain any of this FDA garbage to the uninitiated.

There he goes again!

That Canon FS100 sure takes crappy photos. That is with 600 watts worth of florescent lighting. I have a Canon PowerShot S1 IS and maybe that would be better. Got a Fujifilm FinePix 2650, but that thing needs tons of light too. Tomorrow my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) arrives with a meh camera. Maybe that will take better shots.

That magazine was raided back in the day and their subscriber list was taken. At the same time DEA raided most of the advertisers and snapped up their customer records. Tin foil hats that bought off bookstore shelves and shipped equipment to false addresses were laughing at those that gave them crap about their tin foil hats.

The ATF did the same thing with a company that sold legal 80% receivers. They had no right too but they raided the shop with guns drawn, forced everyone to leave then broke into the company's safe, took the computers and the records of all customers. People took video of the breaking into the safe through the window, below.

Some think your safe if you buy stuff with cash at gun shows, little do they know the ATF has people in plain clothes watching, ask any of the gun dealers at the shows, I know some. The ATF was also caught driving through the parking lots at gun shows video taping license plates and people going in and out.

I think now that the NSA captures all means of communications there really no need for that anymore. Any websites you visit, anything you post, text, email and say on the phone is all recorded now so there's no fly below the radar anymore. Unless your a hermit that lives in a van down my the river.

Thank You GWBush for the "Patriot" Act :sneaky:

Guess which one is the 1300mah?
EIQLJ7Z.gif
You know it is only 8mm longer (5/16"), barely over a 1/4" longer. Everybody else made it sound so huge. It still fits nice in the hand and barely longer than a HCigar VT133. I also put two 18650s against it to see if someday I could drop a dual sled in there and use it that way. Heightwise and width, no problem. Although two 18650s fitted side by side looks very close if it would fit or not. Might need to cut a slot in that plate to make it fit. Hey is this post #3700?
