So here's my thought.
Suppliers A, B, C, and D need a shipment. They contract with a broker in China. Suppliers send the shipments to the broker. The broker, who is not on the FDA banned list because he's a new company, combines the order and packs it in a shipping container. Shipping containers, as I understand it, are much less likely to be inspected by customs. The container goes to another broker here in the US, where the order is broken up into A, B, C and D orders and shipped out to the suppliers.
I realize this complicates things, and puts a lot of eggs in one basket as well as raises the cost, but it should insure that we have things to buy while all the gray areas get settled with the government folks.
Feel free to point out holes in this and call me an idiot.

It looks like we will have to change our attitudes soon. It's almost time for the "nastiness" to surface instead of petitions and polite letters.
Well yeah, that and stop labeling them as 'e-cigarettes' and start labeling them as Slim Hookahs . Or Vaporizers.
What did they state it was? "Toy Gift Box"
I think that's why your's was not held up. Mine came in as Toy Gift Box too. I'm waiting for a package right now, and I hope they marked it the same.
Oh man......you are soooooo right. When will I ever learn to keep my mouth shut.
I was actually half serious. Then again, imagine the fun customs would have opening up every "Gift of Whatever" arriving from China.
Hmmm... Let's each order a shipment of bubble wands from some Chinese company and ask them to label the box electronic cigarettes.
Heh!
I actually think that the best thing we can do as individuals is let people know about e-cigs. I know quite a few people who have given up or cut down on regular cigarettes and replaced them with e-cigs. I know non-smokers who like that these ex-smokers aren't blowing out secondary smoke. I haven't encountered a single negative reaction.
Informed public opinion will be on our side and the authorities will realise that this is a battle that they should not be fighting. It's just going to be a bit nervy for a while.

What did you say to them about that? LOL!
Good catch - Oh Wise One. I may be wrong, but I don't see any of the above mentioned suppliers listed in this forum. This requires a very close watch.
For a Company as large as NJOY that has the capital to fight lawsuits and patient infringment cases at the Federal level with Ruyan to be totally out of Stock really speaks volumes that nobody is blowing smoke here--There is no sortage of product from the manufacurers and NJOY has the capital to keep their product in stock. IMO they are in fact having customs issues.
Just take a look at their site today--they are out of EVERYTHING---Sun

That's why the Government is stepping in. E-cigs are taking away their tax money.
I think you are exactly right, strayling. It would take someone with far more PR skills than me, but it would be cool if we could arrange "Vape-Ins" at public places with news coverage to raise awareness and show people that this is actually life-saving technology, not just black market gizmos from China. One or two news stories about a large number of people who have quit smoking would do wonders. The only stories I ever see are the ones where non-smokers try to figure out what an electornic cigarette is. The trick would be getting news outlets to cover it fairly and to make sure that it got positive spin.
Why not just label the boxes "Cannabis"? If Ca. has it's way it will be legal State wide soon while PV's and Nic juice will not. I am really scratching my head over that. Only in California, home to my in-laws.

Ya know, just call me stupid, but wasn't the publicly stated goal of the new and improved "sin tax" to get smokers to quit?????? It's working!!!
I'm guessing they're just not liking the direction smokers are taking to stop smoking...How dare we excersize our rights as fully functioning, decision making adults! Shame on all of us!!
No nicotine in the cannabis Strayling, but it does have addictive properties of a different sort.
