Is it really wise to mention the shipper that you're using to get past customs?
Hello Everyone,
This is an update to a previous post where I had joined a circle of friends who are merging our electronic cigarette orders so that we can save on shipping. The order has arrived from China and US customs only held it for its standard 24-48 hours. No threatening letters, no notice of future seizures, and certainly no delays. Note that the order was large, containing more than 10 starter kits, bulk eliquid, dozens of batteries & atomizers, and also some pass-through cabling/chargers.
Not to say that we went out of our way to try and have our order seized or returned to the manufacturer, but if there was going to be a reason to hold or return a single order our package wouldve sent up red-flags & alarms or at least we all would think so.
Thus far Ive ordered on a personal level and now have participated in a major bulk order and have not experienced any problems. Im not inputting the name of the place where we ordered; however for those of you interested you can privately contact me and Ill be happy to give you the URL for where our online orders took place (both personal & bulk). Ill also be keeping an eye on these sites to see if any harassing contact is made to them after I hand out those URLs to also post any possible narks in our forums.
VAPE ON MY FRIENDS! The ability to choose is our message. The message of change is going unheard no more!!

This happened to me too. Was doing without the analogs totally. But now, even though I have attys, I'm still smoking analogs too. Not as many as before these PVs, but still... why!? can't I now let the analogs go as I had done it in the beginning? Bugs me. Especially because the first few analogs I "had" to smoke literally made me gag.
I hope you will be able to go back to the PV totally again unlike I have done.
Maybe it would be different if my spouse didn't smoke and the RYO wasn't around all the time? We need to find a unit he is happy with. Doesn't seem that the 510 is for him. He needs an automatic. He mainly smokes handsfree due to tinkering. Rarely does he actually hold a ciggy in his hand. Just in the evenings... and then he will use the 510.
Any recommendations for a very lightweight and high performing ecig? I am thinking one with a whistle tip would be good for him too.
That's a little confusing to me. Can you tell me the differences? Are the non-true 901s the 4075s? I think that is the right number.
I've seen 901bs too. So many variables and I don't know what the differences are between them.
This is real harsh for you guys. Here in UK they haven't even caught the health officials attention yet?
My latest shipment made it to lovely kansas today, 250ml ought to do it for a while...
A order shipped from China to Alaska instead of China to New York seems safer IMO.
If you have something labeled as vaporizer and accesories would it have any problems? Would it be lying?
I've ordered several times from China and have never had this in my tracking info. Can anyone tell me if they have?
Thanks in advance!

Nitewriter---I have and it was not an issue, or at least one I knew about as I got the order fine. What shipping company is it?

Nitewiter---if it is an issue, please give us an update as there have been no reports about EMS to date. Let us know one way or the other--Thanks in advance---Sun
Yes, but unless you are moving large numbers of units it is unlikely anything bad would happen.
That is about right. For Example---100 atomizers and 25 batteries fits very nicely in a small package--------that is a small order.

Nite - That is a standard entry. I've had several shipments, and they all have read something like that.
I think I got wigged out on my first China order because it said "handed over to Customs" As a newbie ordering for the first time, I about lost it. lol Maybe they've changed the wording now to processed by...
I don't think you have to worry until you get a phone call from Customs;-)
