Today is the Day for Rants!

What is going on with PayPal! They just shut down my favorite store (MVS) whom I am sure will do a work around. But still, I am P.O.ed!
I love being able to send money saftly..I also like sending money to people who do mods and stuff..saftly thrid party.
I think I will go to paypal and go a bit postal on them.
Later!

You go girl! Going postal might make you feel better.

 

[Mary Kay]

Well that was a bust!

Me- Why are you cutting off e-cigarette suppliers? I am very unhappy!

Them-If I am unhappy..I could close my account!
E-cig were illigal drug delivery devices!

Me-Says who?

Them-The FDA..per ASH!

Me-Ash is just a private group trying to ban cigarettes! E-Cigarettes are the way to slow down or stop using them! The FDA has made no such claim!

Them-Well they are banned on E-Bay our parent company. Cut me off at that time.

Like little robots marching in lockstep..good grief!8-o
They are afraid they may get sued for aiding and abetting drug dealers (drug: niccotine) by Ash..I am still ......!

That's part of what I was talking about in my rant thread....it boggles my mind that the FDA or ASH can come on the news media with ONE SENTENCE, and the whole world bows and scrapes to obey them...whether what they said is true or not!

It hasn't mattered to them what we have said, all the documents and petitions we show them, all the analysis and medical reports, all of the user testimonials, NOTHING MATTERS! They have their minds made up and they are going to finish e-cigs one way or another.

First-They are stopping shipments in customs
Second- They are trying to shut down vendors through their Paypal accounts, the only thing left is to make them illegal to possess and use- and then we are totally screwed!

Dee, my very sweet friend..are you forgetting where we live? This is the U.S.A.! Since when do we ever do what we are told! My great great grandparents made moonshine in Georgia. My paternal Great greats fought for the Union and then sued them to make them pay for the brick and labor they never paid for! My Maternal Great greats moved with the migration for southern land grants and then had to fight off the government to keep them!
We can win this..I may be ...... at the powers that be..but that doesn't mean I will cave! I can make my own liquid and nic, I can get mods (I am not good at making them) I can smuggle atty's in or wait for Carlos to make them availible. I am NOT a stupid woman..nor am I scared of fighting back or crossing those silly little law lines. I am a child of the 60's after all.
Sc*ew em!
Sorry, I forgot where I WAS!

I love it when you talk them fightin' words MaryKay! I am not going to give up either, it just makes me mad. I already have a mod, I tried making some juice with Snus....guess I didn't put in enough to get much nic (nice flavor, though), and I hope Carlos DOES come out with atties....I hope he gets to a 510 . I have an 801 adapter and two atties that I bought with my Prodigy, but the first atty died after 2 days...and I have been "saving" the other one for hard times.

I have been thinking about making a mod- either the Weller mod or a Nico-Stick...but I already have a mod that uses regular rechargable batteries...the only thing left for me is atties and juice. Maybe if I can make better juice from Snus, that will put me in good sted. I read your comment about TropicalBob vaping Snus...I tried it, and it is messy- and the Snus don't fit any of my models. Even he said it was only in EXTREME cases of emergency- because he believes it WILL be an atty killer.

If I have to, I WILL order again from China, but run a bigger risk of getting shipments stopped.

Did I here someone say Weller mod??? Super easy to make. About 1 hour.

Point me to it sister!

 

[deeanne59]

[damunster]

thanks. It is so easy to make and a great at home vaper. Lasted me all day with good power. Hubby is going to make his today. I haven't figured out what I am going to do to "girlie" it up.

Does paypal still allow you to use their system to make purchases of tobacco products?

 

[Mary Kay]

I think PayPal is going on a supplier by supplier basis. Or all of ours would have been hit at once. I guess the same is true for tobacco.
