Element vape is sooooo sloooow....
They should check out better software for their website...
And incredibly expensive at least for Massachusetts buyers. On top of the sales tax they also have a signature requirement which is over $15!! and on top of all that they collect the Mass vape tax law which is near 90%!!!!!!!

So unfortunately unless it’s something I need immediately i usually purchase from China and hope for the best. Most of these stores have been pretty good with shipping times.

Not sure what you're saying, but..
Over 300 emails just sitting in my inbox probably didn't help (don't use Mac Book much any more), so....
junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk-junk (Erase Junk)
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. so on and so forth until inbox empty.
Then hit 'Help' and said "Update Safari", but she said "I Cannot Update Safari"
Then went to 'History' and erased all History (Mac saves my passwords)
Does that about cover it ?

(by now some of you are laughing)
Sounds very frustrating!

    Was it you that was interested in Provari? If so I have several that are either brand new or Like New all with original packaging. Please feel free to DM if interested. I’d love to sell them on since as beautiful as they are- they’re just not my cup of tea!

    Nope, not me. I don't do well with tube mods.

    Good morning shiny people. My credit card got hit for one cent overnight and then they tried to order grub hub but it was denied. I’ve heard of this before where someone runs numbers for a small amount until one is successful. What a pain. Now I have to switch over all my bill pay stuff to a new number.

    Good Morning gearheads.
    @hittman , that sux. A few years back someone hit my account for nine straight 90 cent withdrawal. Then my bank shut it down, and I had to get another card.
    This is why I won't auto draft my bills. It's tedious deal (for about 30 seconds) but I feel like I have more control over my own money that way.

    Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago.
    Scammers used some sort of bot or something - took multiple withdrawals of small amounts from my debit card until my entire balance (around $3.5k) was wiped out.
    I got a phone call from the fraud dept at my bank one morning as it was happening and they literally watched the numbers drain away as we were talking. The guy said it was hackers based in Eastern Europe.
    Had to get a new card of course and took a few months for the bank to reimburse me.

    I've had this happen a few times. Twice from the same credit card after having replaced it with a new card once. Pretty sure it was from multiple purchases from ejuice.deals. I switched over to using privacy.com and using expendable one-time use virtual cards. Had a charge on one of the virtual cards the other night but obviously it got denied. At least in your case, their charge was denied.

    Just so happens that I made two purchases from a new to me vendor. They had a sale item advertised on the cheap vaping email. Everything else lately has been my regular bill pay stuff. I really think they were just running numbers until one hit. We had people using our work website one time test credit card numbers. I forget what they call it but it is a thing that happens.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

    I have been scammed once, paypal and mail account, most likely I had clicked on a link in a mail.
    12 years ago, was hectic since I was in Singapore, calling the bank and blocking the card, changing the password on paypal and email account.
    Fortunately, it was only one card involved.
    When I got home, I sat down to create a proper password for the email account, and have never clicked on idiotic links afterwards.

    These are screen shots of a convo I had with someone regarding my suspicion on which sites were responsible for the two card hijacks I had.

    - Ejuice.deals
    - CheapEjuice
    - UltimateVapeDeals

    They're all linked together and advertised on "cheapvaping.deals" (the same site that sent you the email link) and "vape.deals".

    I never posted in the forums because I wasn't 100% positively sure it was them, but was and am still very, very confident. Don't want to be spreading accusations without undeniable proof, but I would definitely be using a disposable card if anyone makes purchases from any of these vendors. The incident that you had further reinforces my suspicions.

    I haven’t ordered from them but like I said, after two purchases from a new vendor then my card got hit.

    Sorry, I added info to clarify which site I had found these sites through, and that was "cheapvaping.deals". The same site that sent you the email.

    Thanks for letting me know that. I guess they don’t vet the sites they advertise for. I may try that privacy site you mentioned. Do they charge a fee?
