If we admit there really was a problem with youth addiction then maybe we and the government can still come to an amenable solution - We really don't need another black market do we?

It's as simple as having adult signature on every package. Further yet - could also require pick up only w/ ID verification. If any minor manages to cheat the online system they would be turned down by a stern faced postal worker who refuses to deliver the package to anyone but their parents.

I'm guessing it wouldn't go over well for them.

Of course it seems as if the anti-vape agenda was never going to let that option sit on the table otherwise the FDA wouldn't have deemed loose cotton and wrapped kanthal as a "tobacco product." It's clear how much they want it to go away - for good.

Notice--DHL Will Ban On Shipment Of vaping Products
Dear valued customers,

We're very sorry to inform you that DHL express will soon end the shipment of any vaping products within FastTech.
According to the new policy, DHL will neither deliver any products related to vaping to consumers nor to businesses. From now on, DHL will not accept any parcels having vaping products, e-liquids, electronic pipes, vaping battery, wax atomizer, vape tank e.t.c.
We are waiting for DHL to update the new shipment policy on its official website to get more details.
During this period, our customer service staff will take the initiative to contact customers who have chosen DHL express service, and change the appropriate shipping method according to the order value and the destination country of the order.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this change may cause, and thank you all for your understanding and continued support.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service if you have any questions, as we will be very happy to assist you with anything you need.

Best regards,
FastTech Team

This is US "only" or worldwide?

To worldwide, we cannot use DHL to ship the E-cigs productions. Sorry.


Dear valued customers,

As some customers are concerned about the vape mail ban on shipping vapor products through the USPS.

We'd like to share the current related info for your reference:
1, Except express shipments are banned on shipping vapor products, registered airmails are unaffected for now;
2, We haven't received any airfreight forbiddance or delivery issues from the logistics carrier;
3, Delivery status of the packages containing vapor products are normal from our daily monitoring.
There is no implemented date of the vape mail ban on USPS website yet. We will keep monitoring the latest news and communicate with our logistics carrier.

You would think so - Adult signaure with picture id should have been sufficient.

But if you go back a page and watch that video I posted, whose spokesperson is herself a vape user apparently pro vape industry - She explains why the problem {supposedly} is not quite that simple - they are obsessed with preventing youth addition and the reason for all the tracking? - Done under the current new government restriction, if parent finds a bottle of vape juice with a teenager it will be trackable back to the source.

Nicotine problem solved? - But what if the parent finds their teenager with an ounce of marijuana or other drug ??? Right, that is not FDA problem !!!

Really? LOL, you're kidding, right?
Maybe you should check out the track record of Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, and Big Tech.

You mean monopolies? They can't exist without the government helping them. And the government instead of helping them like they are doing are suppose to keep them from becoming a monopoly.

What you suggest doesn't sound much like capitalism. I'd like to point out that malignant capitalism, unrestrained, is very much against the interest of the common man. Regulation, as per pre-Reaganism is healthy for a capitalistic society.

I disagree. Where is the malignant capitalism, unrestrained, is very much against the interest of the common man? It isn't the vaping community, but the government who wants to kill off vaping and force people back to smoking and prevent smokers who want to quit to die. I call this murder and they should be charged of murder.

I wonder why the lobbyist funded politicians want to kill off vaping? Hmmm.

Fasttech just changed up their shipping methods choices, they still list DHL as an option but that's doubtful at this point, especially given their shipping record of constant delays as of late. More of those who know what is coming but not sharing into or just bits of info that won't hurt current sales ...probably.

Will FT still be a viable option post ban? Doubtful IMHO along with all international shipping. Like so many have voiced here it would be impossible for customs to check all these imported packages for vaping gear BUT if you stop the gear at its point of origin problem solved.

JMHO based on what I am reading/seeing of course.

It’s not a binary choice. Some regulation is good (e.g., anti-trust). Too much regulation (i.e., socialism) is anti productive.

They say it is to prevent teen addiction - Maybe some truth to that.

But remember this is not just a war against vaping
- It is a war against tobacco which you can actually trace back to Columbus first bringing tobacco to Europe hundreds of years ago.

Vaping is the best and safest tobacco product ever discovered - The tobacco nazis could not stand it - they at first had no reason to fight it - So they started with addiction and exaggerate it until they got the attention of the public by saying it was a pandemic - Ironic that a real pandemic, Covid 19, appeared - You would think they would taken a lesson from this but...........

I'll agree, with the note that regulation has been too lax for at least 30-years, which accounts for the astronomical wealth gap we see today.

Where has it been lax? Everything has been pushed to safer and safer without the government intervention. And if the FDA didn't show the kids how cool vaping was, there wouldn't been a problem with kids. So the kids are turning to smoking instead. Great plan not!

Very Few Choices in the Real World are.

Take the FDA. A Modern Society needs an agency like the FDA. That really isn't Debatable.

But do we Need an FDA that...

1) Regulates Tobacco Products?
2) Regulates e-Cigarettes as Tobacco Products?
3) Regulates e-Cigarettes the Way they are Currently Regulating e-Cigarettes?

Why? They seem to do more harm than good. All I have seen the FDA do is to block life saving methods and force super expensive solutions that doesn't really work.

The previous president cut more regulations (by far) than any president in history. Result: the wealth gap was dramatically slowed. Why? The economy was on fire and there was a shortage of workers that employers were forced to fight over. They had to pay them more! Why do you think the special interests want more illegal immigration? There’s one reg we could use.
