Check MFS for coupons. They are having a sale on everything on the site for a few days. I don't recall the end date, but I remember up to 75.00 is 15% off with JULY15. There's 2 more %s for more $ spent.

How do they regulate online sales? Search your packages before they deliver them. Ban delivery from certain addresses. I have always been curious how that would work. If I order from Fasttech or any other online vendor the post office must deliver it, that's the law as far as I know, unless it's true contraband such as illegal drugs etc. then only with a warrant and in conjunction with law enforcement. I just don't see what good a law such as this would do to prevent incoming vaping materials. Now on the other hand, outgoing sales are probably a different question. I guess they could look for websites that have IPs in the state and bust them after making an online purchase like they would a drug dealer but, would that stand up in court. If it's legal in the other 49 states that is. I agree that we are heading down a slippery slope and watching our rights just fly right out the window. The solution is on us however. Get involved with advocacy, stay in touch with your legislative representative and most importantly, VOTE! if we don't start standing up in numbers not just one person here and there we will watch something we truly enjoy and that's definitely harm reducing vanish due to ignorance on the part of legislative representatives that are beholding to large companies. I will now climp back off that soapbox. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming!
Yea Matt, like Deb said ... the precedent is already in place. In PA and other states you can't buy alcohol on-line, or tobacco for that matter. It's not that USPS or FedEx or UPS is checking the contents of your packages - it's really the threat of heavy fines on the seller (if caught) that stops on-line vendors from shipping their goods to certain states.
Yep...no transportation for me to get to a liquor store.....got all excited when I saw Amazon had a wine list, until......got to the list of states that they can't ship to
Would that also apply to an out-of-country vendor that sells a lot of other stuff?
As some of you know, I love honey, growing up, I think we used it almost as much as sugar. It was real cheap for us. I had bad experiences with American-made honey flavorings, but Inawera's Miod is good.
Today I got a Greek honey flavoring "Honey Moon" from Atmos Labs. The smell from the bottle put me right back at childhood labor, extracting honey. The picture shows it in comb, and I think it has a touch of beeswax smell added to it. I am so eager to try it in a juice, I think the experience will be just as good. Of course, mine was free, from a friend on the forums.
HONEY MOON FLAVOUR | atmoslab.com $7.70 at current exchange rate, the package cost 10.00 for him to send, with four bottles (cinnamon cookie, and two creams) Will review all four once I get some mixing bottles free.
If I could support the Greek economy, I would.
I just noticed they have a certificate of chemical analysis with each flavoring! Anybody say Farsalinos?

Don't know about other products but PA liquor/wine on-line purchasing is draconian. You can only order from Approved Direct Sales vendors who must get approval and probably pay a fee to get on the list. Then only wine/liquor you can't get through the PA State Run/Controlled Stores can be purchased on line. ... oh yea ... and it can only be shipped to a PA State Liquor store where to the purchase price is 'added' $4.50 handling charge and 18% tax on selling price.
Virginia is the same. You can only get liquor at a licensed liquor store - ABC Liquor is the only one we have found in our travels.
That's the one
If we have a big liquor run we drive about 45 minutes and cross into Delaware. No sales tax (6% in PA) and the liquor tax is 1/2 of PA's 18%. Actually we've even made that drive to buy a TV one time to save about $50 in PA sales tax.
Just noticed that MFS has liters of 400 mg/ml nic at 2 different prices, $150 and $200. The only difference I see is that one is in plastic, the other in glass.
However, I also just saw this, which I'd never noticed before:
"Before purchasing this product or any nicotine level higher than 100mg we require that a Product Rights and Release of Liability Waiver be filled out and returned to us via email. You can attain this form by emailing dustint at myfreedomsmokes.com"
In my opinion, that's the responsible thing for MFS to do. I don't know if I just never noticed that requirement previously or if it's new.
In NC, ABC stands for Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and liquor can only be purchased at ABC stores, all of which have the same name: ABC.
Same in Oregon, you can only buy hard liquor from a state store. They recently had a big other stuff giveaway up there but for hard liquor, has to be a state store.
Bells, nice to see MFS doing the responsible thing.

Iowa used to have state liquor stores, but they finally got out of the business. I didn't know that other states still did it.
My guess is that they wouldn't go after the packages. There are ways they can put pressure on vendors. A vendor can buy a license to sell in the State legally, in Arkansas they have to sell to licensed retailers. Presumably they could deny the license to any vendor that broke their rules and sold in the State on-line. So vendors have to choose one or the other, on-line sales with the possibility of legal problems, or legal sales with a license.
Maybe they can stop 90% of on-line sales that way, with very little cost and effort. The States are interested in collecting money not spending it.
The thing that really doesn't amuse me about this law is all the B&Ms that never displayed advocacy, never talked to their customers about it, and who's owners kept saying "it will never pass"...
Who are now complaining that they will have to go out of business.
Imagine if they had taken the time to actually advocate and show up at these sessions.

Online vendors which register would then be set up to collect taxes on sales to that state. So the registration expense should be minimal to encourage them to do so. I don't know if it would be done that way.
Yep, pretty... amazing....
OTOH, many of them here in (at least) western WA did band together, did put up signs and info, and they/we did manage to snuff the bills this year.
Good Grief!!
pretty sure it's been that way. I know super_x_drifter spoke many months ago about having to sign a waiver for 200mg nic which he would immediately break down into 100mg nic once he got it.
