Noel said in another thread that the dispute was with Paypal. I'm guessing they somehow discovered kayfun products were vaping related, which, in the year of our Lord 2017, equals tobacco product. There is a similar problem with another line of products (Aspire?), and Paypal won't allow them. Can't blame either company. Just use the KF workaround, and everybody's happy. :D

But I do blame PayPal for censoring what I choose to spend my $$s on. there's enough age verification systems in place they don't really have to worry about abetting a crime (i.e. the sale of nic to minors.) But I can't use PP for domestic vendors...

IIRC, the issue with Aspire had something to do with FT selling at less then the Aspire mandated lowest price, and that's why Aspire complained to PP. So I blame Aspire for that, for getting upset that someone was violating their price-fixing. So I'll give PP a pass on that.

Or that might all be a figment of my imagination :)

It was a toss up between giving you an 'agree' and an 'informative'..I gave you an agree because you're correct
about Aspire. Not your imagination.
I've found PP does not censor what I buy. I can buy whatever vape related goody
I want from outside the US with PP..though admittedly
I haven't purchased nor will I ever buy nicotine from China.
If the vendor has a US warehouse but offices in China they usually accept PP.
The problem with PP and vaping are the tobacco laws in the US

Quite so, but you CAN'T use PP for US domestic sites, so imo they are censoring what I can buy, or at least where I can buy it. And yes, the real problem is the US laws...

Indeed but it isn't PP doing the censoring.
Rather, the unclear and silly US laws prohibit PP from selling tobacco products
(which is why they can do it outside the US.)

See: What types of tobacco products does PayPal prohibit?
PayPal generally prohibits transactions for all types of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco due to legal requirements and industry regulations for online tobacco sales.

Does anyone here know if the RBA head for the Subtank Mini will fit the Toptank Mini? I would tend to think so but I would like to be sure before I tell my friend YES. :)
A quick google search yielded this post from last year that says yes, they are compatible.

As a former user of those items, Yes.
In fact, the bases for either can be used with either setup.
I still have a dozen rba's, bases for the top tank mini and bells tops in my vapocalypse stash. And in my wish list on Fasttech!

Yes, they do. I'm vaping on one right now.

And... in my experience the clones are better made than the authentics.

    I bought four of these.

    $2.27 Replacement RBA Coil Head for SUBTANK Mini Clearomizer - 0.5ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    The authentics were difficult to tear down--I needed needle nose pliers to pull the shell and the threads on the top were gritty. The clones tore down easily and the threads were very smooth.
