Shipping and Customs

[Lorddrek]

I purchased from a US dealer because of worries over possible customs seizure even though I paid a bit more. But I am still tempted to place an order for some backups.

I would think the easy solution to this problem would be to ship product without the nicotine. I realize these kits were set up with filled cartridges included but but if Chinese dealers would pull them or replace with blanks upon request would that not solve the problem?

I think this is a good idea, I wonder what others think. I don't like the cartridges that come with them anyhow, toss 'em in the garbage for all I care. (I was also tempted to buy some backup stuff from China and I did it, now I'm waiting to see what customs does with my stuff)

I believe many suppliers are looking into this alternative packaging as a means to avoid the association with a drug delivery device thats causing problems with customs.

There's not going to be much choice of doing it this way in the long run very soon I would think anyway.

I just got my order from best e-cig and they have the option of nic strength on theirs. I chose 0 nic for that reason. I can always buy juice from a US distributor.

I may mention... first post, first e-cig (DSE901) Awesome!!

I have been getting orders in from China almost every week, no problems (knock on wood). It is alot cheaper and always in stock. In some cases, even ships faster. Where do you think the US suppliers get their stuff? They are the ones causing all the interest from customs with their ginormous orders....customs doesn't give a crap about our little packages! (knock on wood again).

Judging by other posts I have seen today this may not be the case anymore. Sounds like some interest is being taken in small orders as well. My fuzzy math tells me for every vocal person add 10 more silent ones that the same thing has happened to.

LOL, the fist one I got, over a year ago, I was surprised customs didn't sieze it, because it looked exactly like the "bricks" I've seen in US drug busts on tv.
