I really like that one; I have two and have ordered three more for Vapocalypse reasons. If they are as good as the two I have I'll be pleased.

I break them all the time. The last resin one lasted 2 wks. I need to stick to the ss hybrids or go with other materials like stone. I think it's my eliquids that are tip killers (I only use glass tanks for the same reason).

FT has great small-bore hybrid SS drip tips. I have several of the ones below and I love them. They come in all different colors and the bore has an inner diameter of 3.5 mm.

I really like seeing what others are getting. I gotta go work on my cart. I'm tempted by the coppervape squonker. I don't rebuild, but I know my days are numbered. I may end up just stocking wire.

I think the state is going to push vaping is tobacco to make online ordering illegal. They'll be some ways around it, but it'll be a pita.

I never understood why you could order cigars and pipe tobacco online and not cigarettes. Must be something about the children

PACT act. It was based on the fact online sales evaded state tax and tobacco settlement funds that pipe and cigars evaded. IMO the fact they are trying to include vaping is further proof states place more value on $ than public health. Google PACT. Taxes was the only reason given for it's passage. Shameful.

But still the question remains... why not pipes and cigars?

Better lobbyists.

So the industry with a vastly smaller market share and rakes in far less money has better lobbyists?

The cigar folks are pretty serious about lobbying and have lots of powerful friends in entertainment, sport, business and government.

Lots of money spent by Marvin Shanken (Cigar Aficionado and Wine Spectator) and other cigar "activists" and their buddies over the last couple of decades.

They are organized and visible. We aren't.

You got it. Plus they have been at it for decades. We have only really come under attack in the last few years.

Also, many of the big cigar retailers have been at it for decades (100+ years in some cases) and likely have more clout than many of the small vape shops opening up on every corner.

I still smoke the odd cigar and have a few humidors stuffed with Cubans, but have been suprised that they weren't ever taxed to hell in North America....

 

[lil_buddy]

I am not convinced that cigar lobbyists are more powerful than big tobacco lobbyists.

Big tobacco? Likely no. Vaping? Absolutely.

I read your post as cigar vs vape.

 

[lil_buddy]

I can see now that I was thinking about this all wrong. I assumed big tobacco was NOT against online cigarette sales. I went and did a bit of googling at aikane's suggestion. It appears the "PACT Act" was supported by big tobacco.

sorry for going off topic.

It's been a while 10mo since I ordered from FT, is shipping getting better? Wait time?

My stuff has been 8 days or less from the time it shipped here lately,as long as my items are in stock,they have gotten them sent out within a day or so.

 

[aikanae1]

@lil_buddy no need for apology.

As far as I know shipping is good. Make sure it's in stock. Once it leaves FT, anything can happen including being sent to FDA for one of their pkg cks.

I've made quite a few orders from them this year and each one has taken at least a month to get here.

I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
