Post 8-8-16 Stock Up

[Haktuspit]

Someone just posted that age verification is now required at MFS for Nic purchased. No change in the price.

I did age verification for two Toptank kits through them on 7/21. Got qualified with three mismatched addresses. Sent 2L to my Dad since in RI without issue from a Cali CC.

Not sure how my other age verifications are going to go with three different addresses. MFS may end up being the only place I can order from, if so I'm glad it happened at a place I can order everything and then some from. Think I did actually put in last 4 of social though.

I haven't even watched a single video or researched a single thing about DIY and still stocked up on nic. Not going to be the guy forced off later down the line.

Yeah, buying and using it down the road is a lot safer than waiting to learn when you have no other choice than making your own. I already DIY some stuff for myself (especially for different nic concentrations depending on the tank), but I still have a lot of premixed to vape before I ever have to tap into my main stockpile. Just knowing it's there, comfy in the back of my freezer, helps me get a good night's sleep without worry.

One of several reasons I'm glad I'm done buying. I'm not thrilled with the idea of putting birthdate, drivers license or other ID on vendors sites.

I will not do that.

I went to that Blue.......age checking site and its for vendors only, but I did see how they use the info. They say that once authenticated and verified they delete any info they just collected on your ssn and store a yes or no on whether your name and email addr or cell phone is a yes. It only needs to be done one time. Once you have done it, then the next purchase(no matter what vendor it is that needs to verify) they either send you a new code(via email or sms) to use with that sale, or you log onto their site and ask for one.
I haven't tried it yet. Still unsure whether to or not.

If someone hasn't gotten stocked up by now and wants to order online then they really don't have a choice. Knowing age verification was in the deeming though, and knowing that I personally would never feel comfortable with it, I made different choices for myself. It may be perfectly fine, I just choose not to play.

I'm not too worried about giving out my info; I will if I have to. At least we know why it's require at this point. Even if it does seem like an opportunity for hackers. They're not required to hold onto the personal info and with the state of the industry I doubt most have the server capacity to hold on to unnecessary data.

I would stay away from doing so on poorly coded sites though, MFS doesn't seem like one.

I don't see how they can delete it - at least not totally - they need some level of viable proof that they did indeed verify you or its not going to fly...

Just relayed what the site said....you could go and read yourself, ya know. And I said they deleted the last 4 of ssn.....

Oh, I believe you - there must be a loophole in there somewhere. I am not a lawyer by a long shot... Or a used car salesman...

I just put a big order into MVS. Replacement coils (easily last me into next year. I also rebuild), a Sig 213 in dat smexy orange, and also a Cuboid 150w in Silver

Gonna make sure they work, then back into the box they go!

I own 2 - Sig 213s and 4 - Sig Fuchai 213s. They are excellent mods in my case b/c I use them in wattage mode. Others have complained they do not do TC properly, and I believe them. I've seen DJLsb videos on YouTube. They don't do TC. But I'm OK, I've got 2 - RX200S mods and I'm buying more for TC.

Yeah, I saw that too... I'm not all that worried as I vape in wattage 99% of the time. My 150w TC handles Ni200 well though, and I got the Cuboid to try out also. Thanks for the feedback though

So apparently my package is going to be delivered tomorrow! Not bad for the free USPS option. I'll let you all know how everything goes and if there is any sign of tampering with the package. If all goes well, we can safely add MVS to the list of easy Post Apocalypse stores

Post Aug 8th update:
1 liter nicotine ordered August 08th, 5AM EST (Daylight Saving) from ChemNic (real nice guys)
ordered with no issues, received today with no signature required.
The only hitch with that was it was shipped (free) USPS 2 Day Priority but out friends at USPS
managed to mis-ship it to 33175 instead of 33155 so the 2 Day priority shipping took them four days...
On complaining to USPS which of course fell on deaf ears, I was told the standard,
"2 Day priority doesn't guarantee the order will arrive in two days, Sir"

Two orders from Fasttech, one ordered on July 31st
one ordered August 04th . Both were shipped on August 05, 9:14 AM
The one ordered on July 31st is in USPS Sort Facility MIAMI, FL 33112
the other is still in BEIJING EMS, CHINA, "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" ...

The beat goes on.
The guys at ChemNic said they're gonna play it by ear as far as requiring sigs, ETC.

I got my package from MVS late afternoon. There was an "adult signature" required upon delivery, but there was no sign that the package was opened, or otherwise closely inspected.

Happy with the Cuboid except for some deep scratches near the Micro-USB port but that is the fault of Joyetech QC. Otherwise works great, and TC is solid on this mod. The Sigelei 213w is so small and hits like a truck! The constant updating battery voltage is the only thing I don't like about it so far.

Glad to know MVS still has the quality, and speed even after 8/8.

That's actually really good news. I have all kinds of mismatched address and am not even sure I could make it through age verification if I tried. I believe adult signature solves that. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the feedback on MVS., Liskrig. They are hands down my favorite US vendor for hardware. Their prices are often just above China by a couple bucks and they ship same day more often than not. Great company. I've been buying from them since 2013.

I'm personally not worried about 3rd party age verification services. They are much better than sending DL scans from a vendor. Age verification providers don't need to keep info stored in a server. It can be deleted after it gets verified. I have a hunch lexisnexis is the data backbone of every 3rd party provider as well. In today's tech age vape stuff is far from the first reason for online age verification. It feels "new" for many of us but it's a long standing and older technology in the big picture. Imho- some of the fears being posted are probably overblown. I'll take my chances and not worry with a reputable 3rd party service.

I have a question about Fasttech if someone can help. I placed two orders, one Wednesday and one Thursday. This was my first time ordering from them. All items I ordered were showing in-stock when I placed my order but now two of the items on my order are showing out of stock with estimated receipt date of 8/18/16.

What are the odds they will actually receive replacement items on the date they give or am I better off to cancel those items so they will ship the remainder of my orders?

Sorry to be so wordy. Any information from seasoned Fasttech users appreciated.
