Prize winners announcement thread!

[cooladdict]

Tonight's totally blew my mind. I can't decide if they're for-real or totally punking all the kids and Ethan.

I am wondering the same thing!!! Why tell the kids to keep it a secret if it's true! It's not like they can do anything about it if it is, after all.

I am starting to get back into that zone I was in during the Lost years.

Ack! Shhh! I haven't watched yet!

EEEP! I hope you had a chance to watch it before you read my reply! Not that I gave anything away, but still...

Ok, I have a question for previous winners. Once you completed you form did you get another conversation that informed you what your prize actually was?

Not yet. I'm waiting with a worm on my tongue.

I started with an app on my phone called "smoke free".... Gives you an option to add diary entries and I can deduct the cost of supplies and juice to be subtracted from my "total saved"... It's great, too, that I can also add what I bought, from where, and leave myself a note.

I've actually had pretty good luck receiving stuff from Mt Baker shipping from WA. If I order over the weekend, I get the package in the mail on Wednesday. The worst and most ridiculous was a couple of months ago, I purchased two micro USB cables. The seller is located in NYC. I live 80 miles northwest of NYC. The package was shipped first class mail. After it left NYC, the package's first stop was Albany, which is 90 miles north of me. Then it left Albany and came back down south to me. And it took over a week and a half before it made it into my mailbox. The package sat in the Albany USPS sorting facility for three days before it moved.

The funny thing is after it left the sorting facility, the tracking was updated to show it arriving in Albany the same day that the package left Albany. So any evidence of it sitting at the sorting facility for 3 days before they processed it was erased. Since some of the packages coming to me gets routed through Albany, it appears that they always let it sit for a few days and then they change the tracking dates. Another sorting facility that some packages that come to me pass through is in NJ. That place is much more efficient. When a package arrives, it leave the same day.

I have had the same experience with MBV. If it takes three days I start to wonder if it got lost, lol. I am seriously going to miss that amazing, fast service. I live in a rural area of the state but I have incredibly good luck with USPS. I hate it when stuff comes FedEx or UPS because it takes twice as long! Unless they do that thing where USPS is the last leg of the journey, however. In that case I get my stuff a day or two earlier than FedEx posts that I should get it.

I would agree for the most part, with the exception of MBV. They were one of the largest advocate suppliers in the state. I wish they would continue to fight rather than take off before the bill is even law. I understand it on a business level mind you, just feel betrayed and like a sacrifice to the new tax or something. It sends a bad signal to me and most Washington folks I would imagine, not that I speak on their behalf. And the message that sent to the government here was basically a green light, go ahead and bend them over we don't care we outty 5000... Sorry, I am upset if I continue obscenities may occur. I can see from your standpoint how you are happy they no longer deal with our local postal system though. Just hits a little closer to home for me i guess.

I am hoping that by them leaving it sends the opposite message. MBV is huge, so the tax loss is going to be huge. I am VERY upset about the 60% tax on vaping supplies but when I wrote one of the senators about it they said that although they were backing the bill (might have been Inslee) they agreed that 60% was outrageous. What happened to all that money they are getting by legalizing {OTHER STUFF}???? I am just sick of being taxed to death by this state.

My best shipping experiences are with North Carolina, BCV, or MyFreedomSmokes when I first started, though sometimes Durham drops the ball, on the pkgs from BCV. Or, from anywhere in NM or AZ, or CT -- amazing USPS in those places!!!

I made an order from BCV last night, and this time I decided to go ahead and get the 2-day priority; when it's as close as we are to most of NC, 2 day priority really is 2 days.

the tax was reintroduced the day after MBV announced their move ...

I think the tax has been around the whole time but it was just not being discussed publicly as much. After the senators got our responses to the bill I got a reply from one of them and it definitely sounded like it was going to be happening but maybe just not as severely as it is written right now. It isn't over yet, though. We need to keep fighting four our rights!!!

 

[AndriaD]

Here's something I'm pondering; I get my nicotine from VapersTek, in OK... and I've seen some really positive things from Oklahoma writers, maybe lawmakers, not sure, but very much vape-friendly, so that's a good thing for VT, if so. But the nic I get is sourced from the UK -- what is going to happen to that, with all this TPD crap in the EU? Is the UK controlled by that? I'm a bit nervous to say the least.

Rights are like muscles...if don't exercise them...you lose them!

Until you had to deal with it, day after day, for 50 yrs... If it gets long, it's like I'm wearing a WOOL CAPE! AARGHHH!!! And since I can't really do anything with it, I keep it put up... where it pulls on my scalp with all that weight, and gives me awful headaches. I swore up and down that once I got old and it all went gray, I'd have a buzz cut and wear wigs! I'm getting closer...

My biggest complaint is that I get a sunburn where my hair parts every summer. You would think I would start wearing a hat, but no. I can be a slow learner, lol.

Not from ECF. The vendor whose prize you won should be contacting you by Email. They might not, they might just be mailing you your prize. I guess it depends on them. I got an Email from the supplier.

i love sparkly sometimes....lol....I wanted a way to be able to dress them up a little to tell my tanks apart, and now that I have new binky, old one may be getting a sparkly topcoat....lol....and I love the swivel top, too! @Kaperthevapor loves purple, too, and threw that in with some sample juices.mi am in vape heaven today! Just playing with new one now to find the sweet spot as far as vv and vw goes...I'm fine-tuning!
