Not obvious, as it was actually a mistake. Well it's not "free" shipping. The free shipping option at fasttech is free like it is a zero cent shipping. This is fluid shipping according to them. Where the more you spend the less the shipping is but it's incremental. So taking $1 product off of an order of $13.55 shouldn't change approx. $0.50 shipping to $4.50 shipping. It actually turns out that it only went up 3 cents but the computer automatically puts it to the highest level of shipping for that option and they have to manually override it so it was incorrect. The system automatically altered it way too much and the service department fixed it and taking a dollar and some change off of my order only made my shipping go up $0.03.
I stand corrected :) I've probably lost quite a bit over the years.....mind you I've never paid more than 4.50 Euros so not too bothered....glad you got it sorted. Persistence pays of with our Chinese friends :rolleyes:

I got a Brunhilde the other day and finally got around to setting it up. Oddly, when I opened the box there was a card saying that the president of the "Save the Brunhilde" association resides in this thread.

I decided to pass on the Steam Tuners top fill kit for my Dvarw DL FL. Don't need it. In late 2015 I started preparing for the vapocalypse (deeming was announced in 2014). I honestly don't need any more gear. In these strange new times I don't want online stores collecting my personal info and sharing it with the government as is now required under the PACT Act.

Congress Amends the PACT Act to Apply to All Vaping Products, Placing Huge Burden on Small Manufacturers as Third-Party Common Carriers Refuse to Ship Products
Isn't that only applicable to USA vendors??

I like watching curling. How long will I live?
That’s too funny... we were watching it tonight. For the life of me I can’t figure out why it’s so mesmerizing :lol:

I like that sport. I would have never thought to use a Roomba vacuum in that manner though. It's pure genius.. sweeping as it vacuums.

In the final weeks before the ban hammer finally dropped, I researched vape gear that would serve well in the Vapocalypse. This one stood out...

The Lost Vape Ursa Quest. Not only did it look snazzy, but it functions like the Swiss Army knives of vaping gear. I've got the OXVA Arbiter on top.
Love mine, using the rba on it with 0 issues.

Boxer Mod Classic DNA60 SbS Single 2X700 with Evolv DNA60 Temperature Control - Ginger Vaper
Nice SbS. Good luck getting anything from Ginger Vaper (a US company) in the USA.

Out of curiosity, I tried to place an order with a mod they have in-stock. I used my address and also the addresses of a few friends and family across the US as the billing and shipping addresses.

For each one this is what one is presented with...

Stateside folks are SOL. PACT Act.

I then tried the address of a friend in Europe and that works. Shipping is $40. For a friend to ship it back to the US is probably about the same. $80 shipping is what it would cost to have is shipped to a friend and then back to the states. Not worth it IMO.

The PACT Act is the law in the US. However, there is a ripple effect being felt worldwide.

FedEx, UPS, DHL have banned shipments of vape gear.

U.S. Vapor Mail Ban Reverberates Worldwide - Tobacco Reporter
That makes for sh**y reading and come to think of it I haven't had anything delivered by any of those carriers recently. They've all been EU internal services!!

Well, I hope that things will settle down and the general disruption is from the US to outside....it doesn't make this clear in the article....it seems sometimes its working and sometimes not....what a stupid mess :confused:

Who here is from Brazil - or potentially speaks the language?

This native Brazilian could use a hand:

Problems with Hellvape MTL

We solved his issue but think it may be good for him to know a fellow countryman on forum, or at least someone who speaks his language that can befriend him for future issues.

You are way off. Baseball is the most intense sport there is. Never a dull moment.

Well, maybe a few dull moments.

I saw a baseball game once! The hot dog and popcorn from vendors walking around was nice... never had to leave the seat. I have to say I had little to no understanding of the game, and watching it never felt terribly enlightening.. lol

Of course, later that year I had decided it's fans were a bit nuts, that was the year the Royals won the world series and people were in the streets lighting off fireworks which made driving anywhere a pain..

Haha.. my experience with baseball in a nutshell!
