They used to label everything as filters, but not anymore. Customs caught on to that. I dont want to post what they use as labels now. The ANTZ read these posts. You will get a "creative" customs form though.
Well, I got an order coming via FedEx right now, post March 1, from a well-known supplier... 4L VG, 1L PG and a couple flavor replenishments.
Checking tracking# regularly and it is moving and seems good so far.
Me too... just put in an order two nights ago from ft and another vendor.
Thanks. I've seen that calculator before... it didn't work as I liked. My simple calculation worked better for me. Edit: tried it out again, and it works great!
Nice, I use them too. I've been using their v3 since I started in 2016. Never tried the argon or other ones, because I was thinking the argon would just escape once the bottle was opened.
I am placing an order soon... last thing on my bucket-list after all my other recent orders.
I received an order from vaping.com a couple days ago and the name on the address was shipping department. I never used to pay attention but just out of curiosity I’ve been checking the address names.
Heartland did the same thing. Just said "shipper". But this won't work in the long run because the return address and their shipping account is tied to their business. Eventually they'll get caught and possibly face large fines and even imprisonment.
This is considered tobacco trafficking and it's no laughing matter to the
Pretty soon there will be shady guys in trench coats that open them to reveal vaping products instead of watches.

That's a rabbit hole I never went down. Finding out the big movers behind vaping. It's probably like sausages, they taste good but best not to learn how they're made.
For a Publicly Traded Company, it is pretty easy to Find Information about them.
In the case of Turning Point Brands (TPB), if they were a Subsidiary of Reynolds or Under the Direct Control of Reynolds, then that Information would have be Available to the Public.
And according to the Handful of Financial Site I looked at, None of them say there is any Association with Reynolds.

Now it looks like a Few of the Execs of TPB have had previous ties to Reynolds. But that Isn't all that Unusual.
Well, when I complied the data and links, I may have just assumed that TPB was acquired when Lorillard was acquired by Reynolds America back in 2015.
Lorillard did start TPB. I still have yet to actually verify that the acquisition included TPB. But TPB is actually a tobacco company (NTC) but they deal in "OTP" as well. Big Tobacco? Who defines that? Whether TPB is technically/legally tied to the monstrous Reynolds America or not (now or in the past) is not verifiable at this point (by me). Been looking around for a while now and I cannot link them. But I'm pretty sure I did when I complied that data.
Or maybe I was drunk...but the problem is I don't drink

I Think you are getting the Terms Mixed up.
From this Timeline Turning Point Brands - Our Company - Company Timeline
1988: Company created through LBO of Lorillard’s OTP division
That means that TPB was created when Someone Bought Lorillard’s Other Tobacco Products (OTP) division via a Leveraged Buyout (LBO)
Lorillard Didn't Start TPB. TPB was created when they Bought the Other Tobacco Products (OTP) division from Lorillard.

OK, I see now. So National Tobacco Company (assuming) bought the "Other Tobacco Products" line from Lorillard in 1988 and placed them under a new company they called "Turning Point Brands", who later took on tobacco products such as chew and eventually got into vapor. Thanks for that clarification.
Gonna look into National Tobacco Company at some point.
That's the one with ascorbic acid? Never used that one, for some reason. But I've had great success with both V1 and V2.
It will, but I buy 125mm bottles, so they are easy to work with. I dilute some, rebottle the rest (in a smaller bottle), and stick it back in the freezer. My working bottle is kept in the fridge.
Works for me. Frankly, I have no idea if it's necessary--plenty of people just buy a liter of nic and rebottle it themselves and are very happy with that method. So, whatever works. As long as the nic is in glass, sealed tightly and kept in the freezer, it will last for years.
Thanks for the heads up. I always buy mine from NN; I knew that you have to be careful with VG--some are better than others, but I always thought that PG is PG, as long as it's USP grade. Interesting.
