Well, at least I have a macbook and pretty good protection on it just by the nature of it's being apple. I also have some other security apps that help so I'm not too worried. Thanks for the info on the curser thing. I didn't know that worked in that situation and will definitely make use of it. I usually don't open anything I'm suspicious of but since I order so much online, the curiosity got the best of me.

The Apple thing is a fallacy. It is in fact easier because most Apple users have 0 protection installed.

I am kind of bummed because I found out last week that I am a sure thing for disability with the total reverse shoulder replacement alone, along with the left shoulder probably having a rotator cuff tear now, scoliosis and spinal stenosis, all degenerative disorders....leaving me out of my two occupations which were hairdresser and mural artist. Not to mention the PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorder that have been documented and treated for more years (decades) than I care to say. Apparently I'm disqualified though because I haven't worked for the last 11 years. I waited too long. :-(

Sounds so wrong on so many levels.

i have a bunch of FW flavorings, along with pg/vg that i got from Amazon and a small bottle of 100mg nic juice. once you can DIY, you can save big money. what'll kill ya, is when everyone here talks about the newest gotta have flavor. grab some big bottle of flavoring for your "must haves". then order small bottles from MBV. that way you can add the new stuff or request it as a sample.




i'm really good on the phone. the 7 plus years at the union help. i'm manic depressive as well, so rather than hold back, i just let it flow. it helps! i walk a lot before visiting an office. in fact the DSHS office 1.3 miles away (i thought it was closer than that), as my left ventricle is only operating at 20-25%, it's easy to be winded. the only hard part is not to play the stoic. it's like "being unmasked" in public. i absolutely hate it, but it's the best route to take! (my mother raised a fool, not an idiot! )

I'm sorry.

For me, this is the real issue. It seems Visa is throwing up smoke screens and offering misdirection instead of telling the public and their customers exactly why they are denying transactions in 3 states.

I use the same bank I did before I moved here 12 miles away from their closest branch.
I still do because they treat their customers as adults.
I can cash a $750 (or whatever) check without any money in my account regardless of the check's origin.
That's righteous. If the check bounces it's on me.
My debit card is VISA. If VISA won't work with vapes then I'll request [bank] to change it to MC.
I love my bank but if they won't accommodate my needs I'll toss them like a used condom. No hesitation.

vaping MBV all day

Which is why I don't believe this because the PACT Act does not stop vendors from selling online, it only regulates them.



And since our vendors are not selling cigarettes, I don't believe it has much to do with the PACT Act.

It doesn't and if any companies is trying to use this as a method by not allowing the transactions they are overstepping their authority.

You all have a great night, and as freaky a Friday as you can stand or desire. I'm off to slave for the man.

Until we die, yup yup that makes a lot of sense

But then they get 55%, or whatever, of what you've left behind. Well, all I'm planning to leave behind is ...

... my behind!

but then there's always someone to take our place

Yeah, there's that too.

This is if it continues going to cause a lot of issues and ones I do not think will be of benefit to those companies in the long run, well even a short term as well. Look what happened when Bank of America was going to increase rates on transactions and impose new fee's, they lost a lot of customers who went elsewhere, I know I did, then the backtracked but it tooks it's toll on them even though it only last for a month or so. Whatever hurts them financially will be an impact to them.

Oh no....not Cheetos!!! I like Cheetos....

Yeah, me too, I have a bag right next to me!

 

[roonies]

I cannot 'like' this Sam!!! Can you get on a transplant list. I don't like reading this from you. It makes me very sad! :-(

Sounds so wrong on so many levels.

that's 6 words!

as long as i can get ssi (pretty much welfare), i'm not gonna sweat the ssdi, too much (yet). i'd like a nice little backchech (providing i live long enuff to get it). my hearts been shredded for 8 years now. i prolly could have got ssdi years ago, but i was trying to go down swinging. they won't let me work anymore. they can test me all they want, my heart is on the way out.

Sounds to me like the problem is coming from another stoooopid law our nanny state passed.

One thing that is absolutely undeniable..........government cannot do anything right.

 

[DustyZ]

Tomorrow everyone order something from MBV. then we will know which states are affected......or if all are affected. I know I need some more Champagne .
On the other hand that just stinks to high heaven. What the hell are they thinkin ??? Or......are they thinkin ??

I would but I can't! I would get Rainbow Sherbet and try this darn Pink Champagne you all keep drooling over.

Just chatted with MBV concerning Visa CC transactions........transcript follows...


Chat transcript from 01/03/2014
Ben (15:32:52): How can I help you?
Ralph Hebert (15:33:40): Hello......are you folks processing Visa cards for your products ???
Ben (15:34:45): Yes.
Ralph Hebert (15:35:26): Have you heard of any upcoming regulation that would stop credit card useage ??
Ralph Hebert (15:36:11): Namely one that took effect 1..1 2014 in Massachusetts and Colorado
Ben (15:36:14): This seems to be a fairly sudden thing
Ben (15:36:22): no official word yet
Ben (15:36:28): http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...card-company-refused-process-transaction.html
Ralph Hebert (15:36:31): yes... I just heard myself
Ralph Hebert (15:37:23): If that is indeed the case.... would be able to purchase using Paypal etc etc ??
Ben (15:37:31): We are not able to accept paypal due to their policies regarding companies selling ecigs and eliquid inside the US.
Ralph Hebert (15:40:10): You do relize, I think, that IF this is true.....your business may as well go local only ??? Today Massachusetts and Colorado, tomorrow the rest will follow suit
Ben (15:42:34): The business owners actually have about 2 different back up plans for that.
Ben (15:42:39): MBV isnt concerned
Ben (15:42:53): which is great news for all our wonderfull customers!
Ralph Hebert (15:43:09): good to know Thank you for the info........

This is from the original OP of the Urgent Message thread:

Alright, so after looking into some things, it appears things are being worked out with the bank and they are going to check into why the error appeared and stated it may have been due to an issue on several vendors end in regards to how their CC processing is done. It appears that the issue is resolved and that I should be able to use my card as normal but definitely something to keep our eyes out for in the future if this happens with other peoples cards. Thank you to everyone who spread the word to get the info out there so we can keep our community informed. Have a good evening!

Has anyone had any problem with Hawk Sauce in a carto tank? It seems after just 2 tankfuls of 2.5 ml that the draw gets really tight. I really don't have any problem with any other of my flavors. I have even tried a couple of other brand of cartos. My favorite is the Boge f 16 2 hole and I usually use a 70 pg 30 vg blend,

I did try Hawk Sauce in a carto tank, and it caramelized like crazy...it got really dark. I think I was using a 2 hole LR Boge at the time, but that was awhile ago. The whole shebang gunked up fast, so I quit using Hawk Sauce in a carto tank.
