I agree. It may not be the end. I think it will be very tight and dry for quite sometime though.

Oh well, Thanks Hong Kong, thanks FDA, you have officially forced the issue. The only recourse I have now is to either start making my own, or go back to the coffin nails. My hate is starting to burn rather hot for the powers-that-be. Looks like it is black market time. F everyone who thinks they know what is in my best interest more than I do. Karma will get all of them eventually. I just hope I am there to see it, and be able to pile on along with everyone else when it happens. I know you hate it when people react this way, Bob, but I can't help it. I am mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!
I think we'll all be fine, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but just looking at the modders forum, we have some really smart folks here - I'm betting they'll come up with something!

Are you guys still going to be selling these items? Is there a ban in Hong Kong? Do you know?

Shame I didn't get on here quick enough, this ban happened 14 days ago.
We've been receiving everything just fine.

I'd feel a lot better about my outstanding order if East Mall wasn't down. The timing is quite worrying. I suppose I could always do a charge back but I'd prefer to have my order!
Does anyone have the ability to contact them?

Well, I've stopped hyperventilating after reading Ping's email to Queen.
But this sure is a wake-up call for all of us. I only have a couple of spare DSE901 atomizers, so I've placed an order to renew my stock on those.
I will NOT allow myself to get down to my last bottle of e-liquid or my last spare atomizer. As for batteries, I think I've got that licked . . . I have a screwdriver on order, and since that uses nonproprietary batteries, I should be able to pick replacements up even if e-cig supplies dry up. It's the atomizers and the juice that are my weakest links.
I wish someone would start manufacturing in the US, but I guess with the present uncertainty surrounding the status of e-cigs, that would be a huge leap of faith.

Are the factories that produce e-cigs actually IN Hong Kong proper?
I'm not sure how this works, but it might be possible to work around this if the ban only effects Hong Kong, itself, and not the surrounding area.
PS: I have contacted "Wayne" from Ruyan Direct regarding this issue. I'll let everyone know what kind of reply I receive.

Oh yeah think I remember reading about that a couple weeks ago. Did it have something to do with that ruyan lawsuit or whatever it was?
I really should pay attention to what I'm reading
So gullible, sometimes I crave that panic attack. You notice sellers using the phrase like "NJOY" to list their kits on ebay?
The funny thing is that the ban on ECigs, followed shortly after they raised taxes on Tobacco Products by about 50%.
Regardless, you can still ship out of several other areas...just not Hong Kong.

I believe the factories are in Shenzhen, just over the border from SARS, so it's the shipping through Hong Kong that is the problem. The suppliers will have to find another way of shipping. I am sure they are clever enough to have known this was possible.
