new to the forum hi, and also, am i screwed? I just read FDA passed something. My package was on US soil the April 23, it still says "Inbound into customs". I ordered from heaven gifts and it was a big order, over $100 US.

Detailed Results:

Inbound Into Customs

You should be fine as long as Heaven Gifts doesn't make any kind of health claims on their stuff. The FDA just classified e-cigs as a tobacco product, which means they should have stopped seizing product at the borders.

BTW, welcome to ECF

Nah, you're okay. There's a thread about it here ---> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/announcements-rules/182605-fda-comply-law.html, but basically, they're gonna control it as a tobacco product (like snuff, snus, etc.), rather than as a medical device (so it won't have to go thru expensive long term testing before it can be sold). The "war" isn't over for us, but its a major battle we came out on top of.

It just takes a while to get stuff from China. And welcome to the forum!

I dunno, i am still freaking out here. out of the three order's i've made with HeavenGifts, this is the first time i've seen it say inbound into customs and it just staying there. wtf, wtf is going on. I haven't had any nicotine in like, 48 hours i wanna kill someone. I don't wanna kill someone, but you know that feeling, that like, .......n i need the nicotine feeling.

 

[ditch.the.pack]

hit up a local quickie mart and get a disposable, or a cheap kit. Something to get you through. It's still worth it if it means you're not smoking cigs while you're waiting! And that way, you always have a backup system if you run out of something.

You'll be fine. Most of my orders from HG arrive at my door at about the same time the USPS updates their site. I have had one or two get stuck in NY customs for a week or so and arrived unopened. You should get your stuff just fine, but the moral of the story is not to order from China if you're in a hurry. I like HG, but not when I'm almost out of supplies.

Sucking on a dead atomizer trying to make the best out of it. I have a pack of analogues but i refuse to go back to the leaf after 2 weeks of straight up coughing tar after i kicked the habit.

This blows so hard you have no idea. But then again, the longer i wait, the lower my tolerance for nicotine gets, the more awesome it will be to vape.

 

[cyberwolf]

True. You've got a nice head rush coming

 

[DynamiteShikoku]

So anyone know if a certain amount of liquid would send a flag or anything?
I ordered 180ml of liquid as well as 4 joye e-cigs totalling close to $150.

If the status doesn't change tomorrow imma pull my hair out and go out to get a pack of Pall Malls.

 

[Ande]

Get a cheap disposable ecig, not the pall malls.

and hang in there- be sure to post status here when you know about your order...


Best,
Ande

 

[DynamiteShikoku]

where can i buy a disposable ecig? 7-11? should i call?

 

[wazzup592]

They got em at my convenient for 12 dollars. And a 3 pack of cartridges are 8 bucks

 

[AngusATAT]

Please remember that the USPS does not give you a tracking number. They give you a delivery confirmation number. Many is the time I had a package delivered days before it was updated on the USPS site.

Back from 7-11 after a call and a quick trip. Picked up a Logic auto battery and njoy carto's. On my way back i was hoping the cartos would fit my ego bat's, do dice! What are they DSE threads?

The carto's i got came in a pill container lol. saying 1.8% nicotine by volume what is that in mg? The pull on these is super loose i don't like it but it's gonna help me through when my damn package get's through, IF it gets through.

Thanks for the tip at convenience store guys! you are all super!

 

[DynamiteShikoku]

It's taking me a lot if hits, but eh nicotine is finally hitting me, this must me like, 8-11mg of nicotine XD Maybe less.

The taste is like RY4 Dekang, but very very watered down with a hint of almond. The logic carto that came witht he battery is a stronger RY4 flavor, not watered down, very very smooth. The pull on the logic has is much better, has resistance to it just like on my previous ego atomizers.

 

[DynamiteShikoku]

anyone know if i can transfer liquid with carto's? I like teh logic cart better than the njoy's

 

[JWebb]

AngusATAT, have you ever used HV 3.5ohms on a mod like Provari or Ali'i vv, what do you set the voltage at, they seem to burn hot and they are supposed to burn hot at 5 volts or more I thought?

 

[JWebb]

Welcome Dynamite, no you are not screwed, just that we are not classified as a medical device by the FDA, that is a good thing.

 

[DynamiteShikoku]

Man these njoy carto's suck big time, rubbery if you like that feelings, loose pulls, very airy and the hits are inconsistent until you pull the same every single time. man these carto's really really suck ahahaha

 

[Stosh]

The juice is sucked up in the filler, no way to transfer without destroying the carto.

If it get down to it, pick up a pack of nic gum, I used it starting out till I figured out
how to get enough vapor to satisfy Kept me from having to bury bodies.....
