Heads up about Nhaler.com

[DevilFishPhil]

I want to start off by saying that this is not a negative review, Nhaler provided a terrific service (shipped the same day) and the products I ordered are all as expected.

So I placed an order at Nhaler.com for a Reactor atomizer tank (vaping on it right now, loving it!), a cartomator tank and a few other gadgets. Nhaler's standard shipping is $20 to Canada (a bit pricey) and if you want express shipping it's another $20 - so right off the bat I paid $40 worth of shipping for $120 of products. I received my package about a week later and to my surprise there was a $21 customs fee (it shipped by EMS). So all in all I paid $60 of shipping/customs fees for a $120 order.

This is just meant as a "heads-up" if you're going to order from Nhaler.com I would strongly suggest skipping the Express shipping option (to have it shipped USPS) and try to keep your order under $50 to avoid additional customs charges.

Again not a negative review, just a heads-up

i hate those damned surprise customs fees. >: |

Been dinged a couple of times by customs. I've had more luck with the post office than with shipping companies, though I noticed on my last order that the service fee has been raised to over $8.

That atomizer tank is kind of a cool idea. I'm wondering though... It basically looks like an atty with a hole punched in it (same premise as a carto tank but with an atty??). But an atty doesn't have any polyfill in it or anything to absorb the juice that comes through the hole. How does it not just leak out everywhere like a flooded atty would?

I thought it was common knowledge to only use usps from US. I rather have five separate packiges with usps than one large with any other shipping company.

It looks like atomizer tanks are going to become the newest "invention" and they have my interest piqued. Let us know how they work and if the lifespan, use with 100% vg and general productivity makes it worth the price tag.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

I too usually only use USPS, I figured they would ship it USPS Priority mail or something but lesson learned and for anyone out there thinking of ordering from Nhaler, skip on the express shipping to avoid additional customs fees.

So far I am LOVING the atomizer tank!! No leaking, no flooding, not a single dry hit, and best of all it contours the Provari perfectly I'm using a 50-50 VG/PG blend.

Chelly I'm not sure exactly how the atomizer inside works either, but this is what Drew from Nhaler had to say about it:

"This particular design is a long 510 with 2 cups and coils inside that are sealed that liquid does not run out , but air still flows"

I too would want to know how your Atty Tank works.

ask and ye shall receive, look like the inventor decided to show all

Recently I've found that customs is dinging packages not only from courier co's, but also from usps shipments for taxes AND that dreaded 'service fee'

 

[SloHand]

Yet another reason to get our stuff from Canadian suppliers ..... Although I do understand that there are some items that you JUST GOTTA have

 

[smokum]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that my comment was not just ecig supply related, but rather in general for many different products.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Some things are indeed worth crossing the border for, i.e. Reactor Atomizer Tank that I just HAD to have

 

[Bullmastiffguy]

USPS may take a while, I had a package that took over 3 weeks for delivery. I'll stick with Canadian suppliers whenever possible, as the longest wait I have had is 5 days by Canada Post.

 

[SloHand]

Agreed BullMastiff. The postal services are indeed the best IMHO. Haven't been let down yet.

You guys weren't vaping during the Canada Post strike last summer - worst summer of my life

Surprisingly, the strike didn't effect me. I guess somehow, the placed I ordered from and the routes the packages took managed to route around the areas that were on strike at the time. Luck, I guess.

I'm really curious about that Reactor atty tank though. I watched Mergryphon's review and now I'm kinda wanting one.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

I'm surprised you weren't affected in Toronto I'm really thankful that Happy Vaper offered UPS shipping.

I'll most likely be putting it up on the BST shortly, it's been great and a lot of fun but I got it at the wrong time in my vaping journey... I'll PM you before putting it up if you're interested

As I recall it was a rolling strike -- so a strike in these few cities for a few days, then a srtike in those few cities for a few days. At the time I was expecting packages, the strikes had rolled into areas other than mine.

I might be. I'm probably going to be selling my GTUS. It's just not working out for me.

I've had the opposite experience. Lost USPS has ever taken for me was 14 days (including weekends) with the average delivery lately taking less than week from across the country, and CP has taken over 7 days from only a few provinces away at times.
