Primarily liquids from China Plantlvr. There is a restriction on the amount of liquid coming in from China....not sure if that includes the surrounding areas or not.

Where else in the surrounding areas does it usually get imported from? I'm clueless to all this beyond the given (China).

Customs checks almost everything coming in from China. LOTS of replica goods coming in every day. They stop large shipments.

I had a $7,000 Panerai I bought from a gentleman in China. A real one. Customs smashed the watch with a hammer and then sent it to me with a fee. I then proceeded to tell them with some quite strong words what they have done. Lets just say I got it replaced.

FDA can work with customs on shipments as well. Thats whats going on most likely.

I thought the FDA threw in the towel and was regulating the eCig as a tobacco product, which makes as much sense as regulating water as sulfuric acid, but I thought the days of shipment detaining were over. Geez. LEAVE US ALONE AND LET US PRETEND WE'RE FREE AND ALL THAT JAZZ - Give us that illusion of freedom, give us our fake Democracy NOW! Don't make me get up!!!

Oooops. Was taking life seriously for a second, my bad ...

Freedom? You must be joking, my friend... Democracy? Listen to The Great Man - Leonard Cohen:



"Democracy"

It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal .....in'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change

and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Maxwell sir it has to with the quantity ordered, not what it is per say. They put heavier restrictions on how much of any liquid you can have imported from china, whether it be taco sause, baby oil, etc.... :)

They moved ALL our manufacturing plants to China (to pay lower wages) (and create 50 million unemployed here) and then set a limit on how much they can send back to us? That is suicide, it's a joke. Seems everything is upside down.

Seems fairly simple solution then. Order high nic juice from China and cut it down/add flavors here. Jobs for US and no FDA/customs drama controlling your ability to keep things stocked. Yes the juice will be a bit more expensive using american labor but it would be worth it to have control of your stock and flavorings so as to not alienate customers who are sick of waiting and/or having the juice not taste remotely the same as last batch. I have switched to a US juice vendor and am quite happy for now. Wait times are a little longer on shipping but not the months that have elapsed waiting for waffle and peppermint. V4L still has my hardware business but I cannot justify pining away for juice from an unstable supply.
