So, it's happening folks :(

I called Sweet Vapes today about a pending order and the lady told me she doesnt know when it will be in. This shipment is coming from China and customs opens every single box to verify the contains. And because of that Chinese shipments can take a long longer than usual to arrive to their destination. :(:mad::oops:

I don't think my FT order got opened. It came ePacket thru Chicago. Took a long time, but normal for FT.

MY FT order didn't either. Maybe they only open boxes slated for businesses.

Or maybe at random, or maybe not at all. When it comes to shipments from china our US Customs Dept. is a pathetic joke.
Go into almost any vape shop and you'll find china made clones with "Made in USA" stamped or engraved on the bottom. It's illegal to import those according to US Customs laws. And how do all those post 8-8-16 designed mods and atties make it over here and into our vape shops? Same way me thinks.

I'm goin with random. Our local B&Ms don't seem to be having any difficulty with stock.

I'm sorry that your order has been held up, @Bea-FL. :(

That realy stinks, Bea. I feel your defective mod pain.

And thanks for the Xmas link :)
I cant speak highly enough about this company. They took care of the problem very quickly. Their customer service has always been excellent.

I hate it when I forget things. I started making a new batch of my ADV and didn't have enough of Juicy Peach. I made up the remainder with Mango. I know it will still be good. Now tomorrow I will need to do some arranging and see what else I need and get off a juice order.

It was a long trip to England. I had a bag of nicotine lozenges and they kept me mellow. Those lozenges didn't help much when I was smoking but one every couple of hours was all I needed on the plane to subdue the minor edginess. Didn't even take any when I was sitting in airports.
that's great you didn't suffer unduly. Hope you had a fantastic visit!

I heard on the tele this morning that a plane was forced to land, at Detroit I think. e-cig fire in a bathroom. They didn't give any details but I'm guessing someone is looking at a big bill. I think it's a $2000 fine and possible criminal charges.

I saw a lot more vapers on the streets than I'm used to seeing over here.
well I'm kinda with Birdy, liked it better when I thought it was someone being stupid and trying to vape in the bathroom, rather than one accidentally starting a fire.

I do wish they had said more about the actual cause. I mean HOW it started a fire.

MY FT order didn't either. Maybe they only open boxes slated for businesses.
I think this is very likely. From what I've heard FT lists vape items mostly as electronic parts. But something that is being sent to a place called Sweet-Vapes (or other) is definitely vape items.

Hope you like it just as well if not better than the peach. And hey......a great reason to order more flavors!! Can't order just peach yanno :D

After feeling so self-congratulatory that I'd gone a few months with no vapemail, I broke down & ordered a bf atty I've been hearing raves about, & a few K5 frosted tanks. Then had to order more INW Custard, & RF Aged Bourbon Cream. Got everything except the ABC. That's 2 flavorings I cannot run out of!

I know. I actually went back and ordered French Vanilla Deluxe, even though I knew I'd have to pay separate shipping. OTH, I'll have enough Cap VC to last three lifetimes (cuz that's what I ordered when I meant to do the FVD!).

I find peach and mango together to be tasty. Add some chocolate :)
