This vaping ban affect all vape shops getting non-flavored e-liquid? Can they still get basic shipments of non-banned e-liquids? I already know they sell all the ingredients separate to make e-liquid. Are the bans stupid in context? Ban flavored e-liquid. Ok, but will shipping carriers know the different of all vape products?

No vaping products period. USPS vape mail ban is still pending but can go in place any day now. UPS and Fedx have already banned shipping all vaping products.

So I can still get a vape in a 7Eleven or convenient store as a last resort at best? Those shipments have to be by truck or sales representative right?

business can still get vape mail, but non-business can not (well whenever it officially goes into place)
so any known vape company trying to ship to a non-business address, their mail will be rejected
you can still go into any local vape shop or gas stations, etc and buy stuff but you can't have it shipped to you.

now how closely will the mail people be looking at it, who knows....so it's a order at your own risk kind of deal

Thank you. I live in New Jersey. Can't vape flavored e-juice other than hit or miss tobacco flavor, but I can soon probably vape THC.

might want to keep mention of that outside of these boards...there's a board in which you can discuss about it though
Cannabis Forum
but otherwise I don't think it's really allowed to be discussed in any other boards as it's not legal everywhere (though I could be wrong, they used to be very strict about it)

Addictions in all forms are all related in psychoactive properties. Nicotine can easily compliment any other drug or be a substitute in quiting alcohol or drugs. Nicotine and caffeine are the safe way of saying you are sober, but you are still addicted to a drug.

    Agreed on the having to sign for issue. It was the very question I asked 10 pages ago here. What happens if you are not home to sign? I haven't seen an answer as of yet either
    @low_tar_neil ?

    It's something they need to work out and from what Element has said when addressing X shipping delays is they will pause areas that have been experiencing longer delays, so meanwhile their X delivery area grows smaller. Definitely not an easy road going forward. The actual USPS shipping ban in not even in place yet, imagine what it will be like post USPS shipping ban. Many areas will have no shipping. You can order from China at your own risk of confiscation and wait months for it.
    As far as I know they will continue to attempt a redelivery, but I will try and get a firm answer as to how many times etc, it should all be trackable through their portal.

    Let's not forget that Businesses and vape shops may have nothing to sell in September if the FDA does not approve any PMTAs. That is when the grace period runs out.

    Keep it to the proper forum. Further mentions of other substances will not be looked upon favorably, especially if it's not germane to the topic.

    And are we sure B2B shipping will still be allowable with the major shippers? Wasn't there some doubt about exemption filing with USPS? Trying to keep track is like hearing cats anymore...

    I don't know because NicotineRiver (RiverSupplyCo's wholesale site), which is strictly B2B now as far as I can tell, has a 50lb minimum order only becuase they are shipping LTL only. I don't think UPS/FedEx are taking any vape related items from anyone, b2b or b2c. But I don't really know.

    Shipping Notice: All nicotine orders from Nicotine River will ship via LTL freight. We are requiring at minimum 50lbs of product be in your order for shipping options to appear. Generally, ordering Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, or Flavoring with your Nicotine order helps meet this weight threshold.

    Well isn't this just wonderful (yes, I'm being sarcastic!) My Direct Vapor order finally shows as "complete" and shipped. I thought it said USPS first class standard shipping but I checked the tracking number and it shows "Xparse Ground (OLX)"... so who knows when/if I will get it. This sucks. I'm in no hurry and home most days... will update when I get it.

    Well I just check and it says "Priority USA (2-4 Business Days)" so one would think that meant USPS Priority Mail (2-4 Business Days), but I guess now they have and excuse should one complain because they don't say "USPS". :confused:

    A couple of quick searches on google and I can't find out who this Xparse OLX shipper is.

    Wish you the best. Please keep us posted (no pun intended).

    I ordered from Direct Vapor on Tuesday, paid the 10 clams for express shipping, and got it the next day.

    I got the wrong stuff, but I got it. Let's just say that the order was close to what I ordered... like they reached into a box of stuff that looked similar, and grabbed three of them, threw them in an express shipping envelope, and PoOf! at my door in less than 24 hours.

    Crazy.

    I'm just going to consider myself lucky compared to the seemingly random folks who were blessed with "Meh Shipping Incorporated" as their carrier.

    I actually liked what I got, so there's that...

    Are you saying it was shipped via USPS?

    I'm still waiting on my second Sourcemore order which I could've walked to Grand Prairie and got by now. 4px tracking says tendered for delivery 0n 4/29, yet USPS hasn't updated their site since 4/23 and says waiting on item for shipment. I dont expect USPS to update their site until after delivery though. I'm expecting delivery any day now. My third FT package is still on the slow boat from China. I did get something in the mail today, my 18650 batteries, from Li-ion. Those are still being delivered like normal.
