Exactly! I don’t mind paying taxes but I’m just not sure how to go about it. Amazon puts taxes on my orders. Walmart too.

I was playing around with FT. I think I’ve made exactly four orders from them way back in the day and a couple from other China vendors in my vaping career. They are not much cheaper than US vendors if at all.

But if I ever do make an order from FT, what shipping option does everyone choose?
I always pick USPS Expedited Service

I dunno, listening to the Doors in the 70's in Southern California at the beach did influence me to take L S D (quite often)
Did not do it often (maybe a dozen times in my life) and keep in mind, you brought this up, not me. Mostly it was a positive experience. 4-way "window pane" split in half (super pure... super beautiful... trails. rainbow colors) 18 hours... it was so fun when the apartment automatic sprinklers came on (we did not expect this) and we thought it was great. Anyway... TMI but I couldn't resist (I was 18 years old) That would have been 1978. "Break on through to the other side"... dang it... I was going to be good tonight ;)

    Good day everyone!



    I have an order coming from Sourcemore. It cleared customs and went to Forest Park, Georgia. That's the stage I worry about because it's DHL ecommerce. It seems to be headed to Memphis, Tennessee now which is where USPS will accept it.

    That's the stage where my Thelema mod went MIA.

    I have another Chinese order from Oxva in customs now.
    Did you order the OXVA stuff from the manufacturer or someplace else? I was looking to get an airflow control ring for the Origin and some coils, but the ring is out of stock everywhere, and I don't see a website for the manufacturer.

    My eciggity order was delivered. I barely had room in my cabinet. WOW. I don't need anything else for sure. Don't want to chance the feds coming after me for a stupid pod system from Kanger. :2cool:
    If the federal government goes after a consumer for the purchase of a trivial pod system then we know: the country is screwed big time, the government is too large big time, the government should find something important to spend OUR tax dollars on, it's time to rebel.

    The country IS screwed up big time.
    The government IS to large.
    The government SHOULD find something important to spend our tax dollars on.
    It's TIME to rebel.

    Yes I ordered from Oxva directly.

    I'm toying with picking up an Innokin Sensis, and I know several of you have one and even reviewed it. I also recall some concerns about leakage, with the fill hole being on the bottom.
    Any comments about leaking, and any strong feelings either way about the Sensis?

    YES - NO - MAYBE . . . :facepalm:

    So how do you go about paying taxes? When you do your annual tax calculations? Or by some other manner?

    It's not clear to me. I even visited CA Franchise Board but they have not updated their info. Normally it's on the vendor. But now we're under the ATF jurisdiction, so who knows.

    But if I ever do make an order from FT, what shipping option does everyone choose?

    I usually go with the cheapest one available. I tried the more expensive options and it took the same time--either 2 weeks or never. ;)
