oh... got it . thanks
(they have the nunchaku2 much cheaper than here, the shops here probably get it from them... gonna order it witht the zlide. just worried abt customs)

Just make sure it says "authentic." Sorry I can't help with customs. I have no idea.

Don't forget replacement coils for your Zlide.

So neither this nor Nunchaku's 5ml can enter europ? je ne comprends pas

Moi non plus. Maybe you can own/import for personal use it but it can't be sold locally? Honestly, I'm not an expert on EU regulations. So sorry... But I see that some items on FT are described as TPD compliant. Whatever that means legally and practically?

TPD Compliant Vapes: An Ultimate Consumer Guide

I enter the coupon at the end of the check out or is there something to do before?

When you get ready to check out, they ask you "Do you have a coupon code"--before you check out. In shopping cart summary! Click on it and type your code.

I’m curious for those in the EU how FT labels their packages. To the US it will be labeled something nonspecific like filter or the occasional Bluetooth speakers (I seem to have lots of”those”). If it comes in that way customs might not notice the volume of what you order.

You’re still better off there than the US where bans are popping up all over the place.

    i gotta a german to read up quick on the matter. not certain as such but apparently
    they're watching stuff coming from china closely. they have to have descriptions in the language of the target country. detailed and with specifications.
    the purpose seems to be that non-TPD is not on the market. So not sure if this applies to private importation... but i'm just confused since Zlide 4ml is available in France. THe nunchaku2 kit is always 5ml i believe, and that version is available here... Is there rule only for the shops or do some shops have a license to do something diff when the device is simply so or were these brought in before the rule..? no ideas.
    worried since i've placed the order already..
    hope the german will make a further call...

    Well, since you've placed an order already, there's no reason to worry. ;) It's done. Most likely your package will arrive at your doorstep in a couple of weeks. Nothing much you can do now! Fingers crossed. Keep us posted.

    Holy goodness those mods be UGLY. Sheesh. I expected something awesome.. The worst was like, (per my Project Runway/Tim Gunn knowledge) well it looked like a "deconstructed' teapot that had been buried underground for several decades.

    Someone will buy it though. Someone always buys it. The diamond one looked pretty painful to hold, too.

    I INVITE THE MODMAKERS TO SEND THEM ALL TO ME FOR REVEIW! I give a good, honest, objective review that includes trying to break it a bit, like, for fairness.

    Kat this Fasttech place, is everrything on there authentic stuff or are some just knock offs? I wonder if I'll have to pay customs somehow if I buy a mod from them or they'd just let this thru..hmm...

    Maybe you got your reply already but some stuff is authentic, some stuff is "styled" FT has forums where users can discuss the best clones on offer (often there are several makers.)

    Also what I have heard so far is most stuff is getting through. I have also heard of a 100 dollar limit you may want to stay under but this is somewhat anecdotal. Etc.

    Good luck, don't forget your Halloween sales code (which I forger what it is someone will know.)

    ah so this place is popular with all yall
    well there are usually sums after which you're taxed.. iether because it isn't worth it for the powers or you're stepping into commercial importer territory. funnuly the german page says 150 in german, but 700 in the english version.. no worries well ov er a hundred..

    kat were you saying that you'd thought there are no authentic 4ml zlides>?

    Someone will buy it though. Someone always buys it.

    funny gif didn't work... imagine the there-will-be-blood-guy repeating it,..

    The diamond one looked pretty painful to hold, too.

    Think you've found the market crowd...

    and proves you're not in it for the free mods? interesting.. thins should be a requirement of all reviewers

    @Katya i think i can still cancel it... everything is ready for shipping except this.. strange, needs 5 days.

    ooh another question. heard of an overhang... gibt es ein underhang? like a 22-24mm on a mod like nunchaku...

    What???? There are authentic 4 ml Zlide tanks on FT.

    Why would you want to? Did you order what you want?

    The overhang happens when your topper is wider in diameter than your mod. Simple math. DId you do the math? I don't know the specs for your mod but I'm pretty sure it's at least 24mm on top.

    1... nonono. err... grrrrr

    :blink: Again, if it's listed as authentic, it's authentic.
    2 pwetty much.

    Gut!
    3 nein. ich meinte das, the zlide is smaller than the periphery of the nunchaku... 24 to 26... which on oyur bigass block, offensive, macho mods is standard, but on a slender cylinderical sexy curvy one like nunchaku, it might look like Timon with a schrunk up head...

    Right. ;) That's your problem dear. :lol:

    so i emailed them abt having entered a wrong email address and coincidentally asked abt their experience shipping to Europe (impressively quick and succinct respone:

    'I wonder if you've had experiences before with regard to E-cigarette tanks above 2ml. Were they rejected by German customs before? I know I am responsible for checking the policies, but I have not found anything regarding private customers.'

    'Usually we will describe it as filter if our customer do not have any special request. I will check what's write on the package tomorrow, once checked,I will let you know. Because our warehouse colleagues are off duty now.'

    per @Tabac man and @Eskie post above.

    not sure where my german reader got the part about watching stuff from china. but i am figuring the 'it should have detailed a description and instructions in German' comes from the rules.

    asked a friend today who gets stuff often enough here, said he got stuff often, mostly from amzn though, like pieces for his bicycle and always arrived straiht to his place. But when he a got a bunch of books weighing over 10kg from a friend he was called to customs and asked for a couple hundred euros; he replied that he was a student, they were educational stuff, used and from a friend, so they shut up and he took his stuff.

    what's my argument for circumventing local business and breaking the (written, if not applied on everything) regulation on size? [rhetoricalicalisch question]

    i can't compute the rule anyway. half of this thread and much of my indecision had to do the difficulty of finding many 23-and-under tanks_ aren't larger tanks (i.e. the majority) larger than 2ml? :grr:

    btw. update on vaper-status: with the K4 coils out, I'm finding myself sucking on the poor Minifit as if it there's spicy bone marrow inside (if you're uncomfortable with this lamb-munching reference feel free to replace the mental image with honey or marmalade, just remember, it is official: complex fats are cool_ sugar is immoral)... POINT: just mtl-ing don't tickle me no more.
