you need to learn how to pick your customers

My only venture into the holiday sales was 2 Samsung 21700 40T's which I received from IMR yesterday.
I also purchased 2 Samsung 21700 40t's and 2 Sony VTC6 21700. For use with my sigelei Fuchai squonk i got for $8 off some china site.

I too have been shopping around for some 40t's. Battery prices are very high here in Canada! I found this site, shipping to Canada is reasonable& they have some really cool wraps! ODB 18650 Battery Wraps - Original Custom Designs - 18650 Battery Store
Not bad – much better than the $35US shipping from IMR.
Dashvapes has 40T for $17.99 CAN. YES, that is expensive in comparison, but buying 2 qualifies for free shipping and comes out to the same price as 18650batterystore after conversion. If buying more, obviously the 18650batterystore is a cheaper alternative. Dashvapes sources their batteries from IMR if concerned about fakes.
I have not heard of any issues with customs denying vape equipment, but batteries must be properly identified or they may not allow shipment. I have heard of customs denying shipment with personal electronics, do not know the details as to why. And I have dealt with customs denying batteries used for UPS’s cause their papers were not in check. There is always that risk.
I all most all ways buy my batteries out of the states. Never had one issue with importing themPaying the Canadian prices plus tax is painful! I'm looking to buy 6 40t's so it's a substantial saving's
The battery wraps & insulators are just a bonus
Dashvapes is slowly becoming the best Canadian site for vaping gear purchases!
I'v made several pucheses from them & their services is quite goodI will say, I hate their website! & the new version is just as bad as the old one

Dear Mike.......and to all people who like "thorny" "prickly" bushes.
I hate it when i have to service or change out an AC condenser / heat pump that is surrounded by natures hypodermic needles. When trying to service your unit (haha....unit. Ya i have the mentality of a 13yr old) I am continuously fighting your shrubbery from stabbing and slashing my eyeballs, arms, legs and various other soft fleshy parts of my body.
I get it, you hate the neighbor and his kids, but don't take it out on the guy who's fixing your AC!
Here's something to consider, when we had the house painted the painters wrapped old moving blankets around the house side of the bushes, drove a post in the ground in front, put some rope around the blanket and bush, tied the rope off to the post leaving them enough room to paint. If you're dealing with a real long thin needle bush you might need to double the blankets up. You can buy those at Harbor Freight $8.89 --> 72 in. x 80 in. Moving Blanket Below is a 20% Off coupon good till the end of the year.
This is good for one item per visit/day. I use to print 9 of these to a sheet, cut them out and keep them in my glove box, now I put these coupon pics on my cell phone and they scan the bar code right off my phone.

I personally think Dashvapes is extremely professional. I don’t mind the website, certainly better than some of the stuff out there that looks like it was developed back in the 90’s. "Best viewed with Netscape Navigator 3.0".
I use Safari & it's a real pain!
So the difference on 6 40t's, Dash vapes $122.00 CAD just the 6 batteries
American site $83.00 CAD 6 batteries plus 20 insulators & 20 Clear 21700 wraps
I like to shop Canadian as much as I can! But $40.00 more plus no insulators & wraps = no brainer
I also picked up some from there. First time using that store. I got 4 - Molicel P26A 18650 and 6 - Samsung 30T 21700's. First time buying either brand.Battery prices are very high here in Canada!

Illumn is like half the IMR price for shipping, which jumps at 13 or 14 batteries. I prefer to buy from a Mooch preferred/trusted site. Similar to a rewrap, Dash can always change their supplier behind the scenes. I get flavor concentrates mainly from them (if I'm in a rush). Not a fan of their website either. Who cares that someone just purchased Cabana Punch. I like to shop Canadian if the price is right.Dashvapes sources their batteries from IMR if concerned about fakes.

Punk In Drublic I'm not sure if the 'like' or 'agree' emoji would be considered better. I've had to deal with Dash's CS a few times, and they were head and shoulders above many other vendors. Little things like the child proof portion of 2@30ml chubby bottles were busted, could they send two with my current order, and they did without any questioning.
I had made a large order from a site on Vancouver Island. Everything was great, labelling the best, but that same childproof portion issue on about 6 bottles. I never did complain seeing as I just won't order from them again.
Knock at the door and to my surprise my overly friendly postman had vape mail for me. QP Designs Fatality M25!!!
I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon….and it ain’t binging on Netflix
Speaking about deliveries, I was talking to my longtime UPS guy the other day and I told him he could drive straight up to my door, instead of backing up and parking further away from the house and get out to drop off the package. He stated he would, but the computer tells on him if he gets back into the truck and backs up. They are only allowed to drive forward when they get into the truck. UPS is worried a little kid could be back there. So if you see an UPS driver driving forward when reverse would make more sense, now you know why.I got an Amazon delivery today and offered the guy two flat tires as he started making a three point turn IN MY FRONT YARD! Almost hit a tree and a telephone pole in the process. I will say I seemed to wake him up from the delirium he seemed to be in as I flew out the door. They seem to hire people that have no idea how to drive a van in reverse with any degree of skill. It takes more time to make a three point turn than to back straight back out of the driveway.
