I've ordered from them and no problems but not something this expensive. It just comes as an electronic gadget.

I had a good chuckle about the "electronic gadget" label on my last order, since the order was only bottles and drip tips - nothing electronic at all.

I've wondered about shipments post deeming, since technically all North Dakota orders are supposed to require not only age verification but also signature delivery. So far I have only had active age verification on 1 order out of at least 5 since this idiot law took effect and a total of 0 signature required deliveries. I'd been worried about the signature required bit since someone else picks up my mail for me, and always after the 2 hours in the morning our post office is open.

They are $2 cheaper at MVS 6.95 for the rba plus with the juice holes on the side.

I know in WA they are supposed to be labeled vapor products and the vendor is supposed to have a license to sell in this state.

Not sure there's a way to make a foreign country do that.

But I'm not sure if the Liquor and Cannabis Control Board came up with a license application yet. They're pretty busy collecting taxes on the Weed and stores are popping up all over. A Friend of our had a medical only store but decided to go into the commercial stuff cause theres more money in it. He sent pics and pretty fancy place.

I suppose it could look a little odd if anyone were to notice that my new large syringes and wide bore needles are coming tomorrow on the same order as my Halloween candy.
(I didn't order the candy earlier since I have such a hard time getting up and down that I was going to wimp out - then I realized that
a) doing that would be really obvious in a pop. 80 town. and
b) in a pop 80 town I can set the candy on a table in the entry and just holler "Come on in" without needing to get up and go to the door.)
too funny! Jup we'll vouch for why ya need the syringes :lol:

Yesterday, I finally got some vape goodies into my neighbor's son's hands. We'd talked a few months ago, and he said he'd be willing to try, so I scooped up some Heatvape Invader Minis for him (he's an iron worker and needs something with a bit of extra protection.) He tried a juice I'd made last weekend and liked it, so I gave him that bottle and mixed him a couple more (higher nic than the first bottle)
That's wonderful. Really hope he is able to totally quit! He's got a great person helping him.

i also have lot's of replacement insulators,
where did you get the insulators? Are they only for the kayfuns? A friend has been searching high and low for an insulator that will work on an Isub G. Even looked at all the ones at FT, one or two were the right shape, but not the right size. Someone makes these things.......but heck if we can find out who.

post deeming I am nervous about ordering from anywhere overseas as my understanding of the deeming leads me to believe it would make me an importer and put me under a bunch of rules I don't understand well enough to mess with
Here is the site for the timeline. I think you have this, you may have even been the one to post it, not sure. but for others who don't have it.
Timeline - FDA Regulations for Vapor Products and Vapers

This is under the notes tab for Dec 31 this year......but as Gary or someone said, no idea how they'll make China or anyone else abide by it.
This is an annual registration that is required and foreign establishments shall be required to register through additional regulation that will be presented in the future. At some point in the future the FDA will issue revised guidance to provide clarity to the scope and timing of requirements for registration and listing for newly deemed products.
when y'all look at this, there is more info under the tabs on each date..... applies to, notes, deemed product etc.

What he used the most is the Cisco 306. In the last year or two, it's just not doing it for him anymore. It turns out he also doesn't like the taste of cartos. So, carto-tanks and such are out of the running. He's tried the Nautilus, the Kanger Sub-Tank, and I think a couple of other things.

I want to find some things for him to try without him having to be involved in shopping around. He hates shopping with a passion, whether it's vape related or not.

I'm thinking of trying a couple of different extremes next. At one extreme, the Eleaf iCare. At the other extreme a couple of different REO setups. One with a simple high quality 510. The other with an RM2. I think the RM2 would work best. I'm just not sure if he'ld be willing to build his own coils
Was really hoping he'd found something. If he'd be willing to at least dry burn and stick some cotton in it, you could make his coils for him. He might really like SS wire. It isn't harsh or hot when you build lower ohms, but you get more flavor, vapor, and th by building lower. I was going to ask if he'd tried one of your reos. A drilled out rm2 might be just the ticket. When will you see him again? Dang, wish I'd thought to give you some SS wire when you were here, but I can send you some if you want. I have 28 and 26g.

Key to quitting is flavor. If you find something you "like"... u may quit. If you find something you absolutely adore... u'll never smoke again.
(bin there, dun dat)
It is for some, but as long as it wasn't a disgusting flavor, flavor was last on my list as was vapor. As long as I could blow out about the same as a cig, I was fine. The main thing I needed was Throat Hit. After that it was high enough nic and they ran pretty much neck and neck.

I'd been worried about the signature required bit since someone else picks up my mail for me, and always after the 2 hours in the morning our post office is open.
If you get something like that, as long as the person is over 18/21 they should be able to sign for it. If it's after the PO is closed, they'll put a card for the item in the PO Box, the person can sign it, and place it back in the box. The next day or whenever they go again, the item should be in the box so long as it fits.

I don't know much about SS wire and how it works with VW. I don't use TC at all.

works exactly like kanthal. You can use it in TC but I don't. I did try it on the Pico, it was weird. lol Just put ss316L in the wire box on Steam engine.

I broke the glass on my sub tank mini, so I bought a new one, only white instead of silver. The base is different and doesn't fit my radius. So I went back to the silver base, put a new atty in, and now it's flashing problem, output current too high. Try new atty. did that, and realised my box of .5's is filled with 1.2's. Grrrrr. Anyone else have sub tank adapter differences between colours ?

Might be my wicking but i get dry hits from time to time. Very strange but I just put it to the side and plugged in some factory coils. Didn't have a single issue with the other base and in using the same method!!
If you have the V1 RBA deck for the STM there is a trick. After you tuck your cotton tails down into it you need to take your tweezers from the top and push the cotton back away from the juice hole towards the center a little bit. You should be able to see daylight through the hole when looking from the top at it.

ALso I find even with the V2 RBA decks every so often I have to yank the cotton, dry burn, then take the deck out of the base and thoroughly rinse both the base and the RBA deck in hot water. Its like some of the ash gets down in there and gives a harsh dry sort of hit.

No I never have. BTW you can buy replacement glass if you need it.

EDIT: I had a thought. Check the wattage you have your Radius set for. Maybe in all the fussing you cranked it up so that it is causing the combo of the atty + wattage to exceed what the radius can handle. What I would do is take the battery out and put it back in to reset the radius (that is what I have to do on the Provari 3 once it starts throwing an error). Then I would drop the wattage WAY down and just slowly increase it until I get an error.

Is it possible you have 0.12 coils not 1.2? if it is 0.12 that might be way too low a resistance for the Radius. Mike HELP I do not know the limits of the Radius.

I have had my Provari 3 do that before.
