For who lives in Japan, you can use "Gabish" as one time coupon to get 20% off at Vape Dudes. If you are first time customer with them, you can also use 40% off so total 60% off from total amount. Be sure you order some of the ICE juice, it so good :)
Wow, awesome. Thanks!

Hey Tenn, so sweet of you to check in and keep our little thread alive lol! So when are you coming back to Japan? I am on the east side of Tokyo. Kind of tucked in the triangle by Saitama and Chiba. I can cycle to Saitama in 10 min, and 15 min by car to Chiba. I guess you stay in central Tokyo when you come here on business?
Hey Dragonbone- I have not been to Tokyo or Japan in 5 years...I need to go back!! I worked for a school system that had a school here in Tennessee that is located near Shinagawa (maybe you've heard of Meiji Gakuin?)...anyway, when I went there, I was I suppose in Southern Tokyo...Of course I would go all over Tokyo and I know the area you speak of living...it is near ASIJ (friends of mine graduated from there) and Mitaka- where ICU is...

Hey, TennDave... 5 years is a long time. Sounds like you are due for a visit. By the way, Mitaka is on the East side of Tokyo. I am West... S h I t a machi hehe.. (I had to write it like that, because ECF, thinks downtown is Japanese is a swear word). Think of that famous very long running TV Film series from long ago.... Tora-San.

Ah...so I thought Mitaka was West...chigauno? Near Chofu- look due west of the map I linked to below... OH, and I loved Tora San- saw all of his movies and his Panshiron Commercials on TV!!
Tokyo Map - Google Maps
You are not West if you are between Saitama and Chiba- Chiba is East but Saitama is large and extends North West of Tokyo around to the far East...sort of confusing ne...

Darn!! Hantai! Wow! Don't know what I was talking about last night lol! I am East and Mitaka is West! Sorry lol! Actually I looked up Mitaka on the map last night, and must have confused myself. Kind of scary that, since I have lived here for 13 years....

No problem- yes, it can be confusing- especially if you ride the trains...many of the maps they use are not accurate in direction- they just lay everything out so that the stations from different lines match up, etc. :)

Yes the train lines and actual maps look very different. But I know I live in East Tokyo... or maybe I just thought I knew where I lived. Hehe... I must have been half asleep last night typing that nonsense :p.
Doubt I would find my way home though, if I had to walk from central Tokyo like millions had to do last year after the earthquake.

Good morning everyone. Muggy here in Tokyo but not as humid as yesterday, thank goodness!

Have any of you ever ordered from Ecigsupply. I was very upset to recieve this message from them:I do apologize for the inconvenience. I have been informed this morning that we are no longer shipping to Japan due to customs issues.

This was aftr I tried to check out on the 2nd July, but Japan was not on the list by the address drop down. there ar many other countries, but not Japan. I sent a ticket, and no answer for three days, so I replied to the ticket yesterday, and asked if Japan would be added or not. That was the reply :(.

I have NEVER heard of any custom issues and everyone is still shipping to Japan. This is a tiny vendor, and I see that their last post here on the forum was last year. I think that they just couldn't be bothered to update their website to add another country's shipping prices etc. Probably too expensive or too much work.

Any thoughts?

I hope all U.S. Citizens in Japan had a wonderful Independence Day!! I remember back in the day, a bunch of us would get together and eat awesome Japanese water melons, prince melons, make hot dogs and hamburgers and even crank out some home made ice cream!!

Hope you had a great day too :). I may not be American, but I do make my own ice cream in the summer. Actually frozen yogurt from my own home made yogurt. I add some fruit and berries and some zero calorie swetener.... Still cold and yummy, just lower in fat and calories than real ice cream. That reminds me to put the ice cream drum in the freezer again, as summer is here!

Could it be related to the USPS ruling in NOT allowing Li-ion devices or batts to be shipped?
