I'm out for the night.... getting ready to go to the hospital sleep lab, for my "in-lab" sleep study...

My home study showed my oxygen levels dropping to 72 at night, so in lab it is! Lol...

But, on the bright-side I am 1-1/2 weeks away from surgery with all my surgical approvals in, and only 2 more doctors appointments left to go prior!

My God this level of doctors appointments has been making my head spin... lol.. so glad to be nearly through this part...

It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing illegal about the goods or us as individuals to have, it's that places are no longer allowed to sell them.

I've got a mod from sourcemore, and an atty plus top fill adapter set coming from fasttech, both just shipped. My take:

Likelihood that either will be delivered before 9/9: negligible

Likelihood that either will be stopped by US customs: negligible; I don't believe int'l ecig sales to individuals are going to be targeted, and no US ecig reseller is going to be having big shipments coming in post 9/9 for mine to accidentally be scooped up with

If stopped and US Customs reaches out to me: I have receipts clearly showing purchase, and shipping, prior to 9/9, I'll get the items

    So no penalties for importing illegal goods? I know in Australia there'd be over the top fines imposed.

    It'll be illegal to sell ecigs, not to buy or own them. Customs theoretically would go after the Chinese companies, but those companies don't give a rat's .... So therefore the most customs will do is seize the package and send you a nasty letter. The vast majority of packages will get through.

    lease, Can you clarify DVARW (FastTech) category or style Labelling: (SXK, YFTK, PEI, PC )? I prefer 2ml & 3.5ml & Top fill. What say U? Thanks

    SXK and YFTK are names of cloners. There are also no-name clones of the Dvarws (which is what I got). Don't ask.

    PEI (ultem) and PC (polycarbonate) are types of plastics--but Dvarws are glass.

    Authentic Dvarws are bottom-filled and I don't mind--I didn't get any top-fill add-ons. But @markfm made a suggestion above what to get.

    So long as every thing ships by Sept 9. We should be OK? RTAs becoming illegal too?

    Everything becomes illegal unless a manufacturer submitted a PMTA. It's a hot mess, really. I have no idea who and how is going to enforce it.

    I don't think they'll be going after little packages of drip tips from FT. But wholesale shipments to US warehouses and vendors will most likely stop at some point.

    Morning shinies ;)



    My dvarw definitely is :wub: I think you'll love the FL DL too with the right airflow inserts for your style. Bigger deck - I easily fitted in a 3mm coil, though I'm still undecided on whether I like it better than a 2.5mm id coil in there. Half the fun is trying out different options though :thumbs:

    I'm just waiting for a dl fl top fill to pop up (I do want to go for a dl fl, but don't want to deal with it as a bottom fill on the Mixx - I'm thinking the mtl fl + mtl fl top fill set will tide me over [emoji3])

    Kudos to sourcemore on quickly flipping my Mixx from tuxedo to quicksilver, as they were also shipping it that day [emoji106]

    Hopefully current administrative ineptitude remains as consistent as their idiocies Worried about sufficient tanks to hold different vapes. That's not happening got 4 Mods. All shipped today need 2 more Dvarws cld get 1 more! Wish I hadnt gotton the Nautilus mini & zlider BC of coils

    @Terri McVeety, I just finished installing a 26/36 316L 2.5mm ID 0.45Ω clapton coil with a rayon wick in one of my older Dvarw MTL's with the oval holes.
    I use Tidi rayon. Exocet style, threading the rayon through the oval JC ring holes is tight without any trimming. It's wicking well and vaping great at 25w.

    My Dvarw v3 has the oval holes. Looks like I use more wick than the Exocet style in @ShowMeTwice's photo.

    I cut mine a bit past the deck edges, juice it up then lift up both tails before I put the chimney on.
    20200828_094729.jpg

    Then a gentle tamping down of the wicks when it's reassembled to make sure the wicking holes are covered. I also make sure the coil is clear for air. I don't have any wick poking out the holes when it's finished.
