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.

Yeah, I had 2 orders from sourcemore sit in GP, only about 15 miles from me. They sat for several days last month. They did come after maybe 5 days. You're right, USPS didn't update until the day they were scheduled for deliv.

I have a RS order coming as well; does anyone know if due to it being sold as a NR tobacco purchase if the flavors will fall into the PACT tax territory?


No telling what river is going to do becuase apparently when they changed their name to not include "nicotine" they never really changed their business classification in any other way so technically they are legally a liquid nicotine seller. Had I realized this I would have probably not ordered from their clearance sale. In fact, I am considering cancelling my order. It is clear they have no intent to chip anytime soon lol.

However, I will say this: For them to give free shipping at $50, even at 50% off, my guess is they may not be delivering with signature service. Just a guess. Signature service alone will cost them about $7-8 on top of shipping cost.

I just checked my apocalypse stock and I have 21 new Pico 75's in sealed boxes plus an assortment of other mods that were in the "latest and greatest" category over the years. I prefer Picos for my 10W vaping style and just picked them up as they went on sale here and there. I've been using several Pico 75's in rotation for several years and those are still working fine even after sliding off the table a number of times.

There's other various mods in my stash for backup. You guys made me do it by discussing the coming apocalypse all the this time! I still plan on snagging a few more "if" they come up for sale at decent prices. I refuse to go back to smoking stinky tobacco after kicking it to the curb in 2010. Vape on, ECF friends!

    My first order from the sale has already shipped.

    Anyone who is concerned should contact them. I have found them to be very responsive and quick to reply.

    Still not convinced that I won't get stung down the road for past due PACT taxes. NR has to report any sales that fall under tobacco products.

    PACT taxes

    There are not pact taxes. If you mean your state's vapor tax and sales tax, go to your state's website and you'll find out how to pay vapor and sales taxes for online purchases.

    Also, make sure you only pay vapor taxes on what is supposed to be taxed. Some states only tax ready-made eliquid and nothing else. If that's the case with your state, don't be paying vapor taxes on flavors, that's not eliquid.

    Just placed an inquiry this p.m. for my req placed the 3rd. No ack but noted as "unfulfilled" on-site. I've no news since the order suggesting they'll not ship. So fingers X-d.

    Good luck all. :)

    I don't think there's any threat of RS not shipping. They are not going out of business, they are only stopping B2C sales. My order from May 3 also have not shipped yet, if that's any consolation.

    UPS has already scanned my order so definitely not labeled as a tobacco product but disturbed vendor wasn't upfront about "who" we were placing an order with.
    I only ordered 6 bottles (they were MF, so I got free shipping), but my tracking is USPS.

    I like Picos too, but you should try the Eleaf Aster, 75 W, drop them over and over and they keep running, smaller base but I got stocked up on them, can subohm or other very versatile.

    My favorite variety is the Wismec RX75. Pretty much the same chipset in all three!

    Different strokes for different folks.:thumbs:

    Was it me that just posted this?
    Oh, wait.... nice Dave!
    I only have 16 Pico 75's in wrappers in my closet. (and 6 in current rotation)
    And I'm still vaping at 8-9 watts after all these years.

    Glad for this thread (specifically the original) that got me to place my last couple of final orders.
    Especially the last liter of nic from River Supply. Can't believe we can't order from them anymore.
    Or hardly anywhere else for that matter.
    Seems eventually the shipping issue will work itself out.
    The big loss - finding where to get nic.
    My 3 liters in freezer should last 20 years at my 3mg.
