US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

[curious8]

I vape such a low amount (3mg or less) and I haven't calculated how much I use per day but that 16 oz base lasts me for a couple years at least. Best to follow the calculator to determine how much you use in a day I think.

As for freezer life, I have some that is 10 yrs old and it is fine so I am not worried about it.

One other thing, I mix over a bowl so if a spill should occur, it can be poured into the bottle from the bowl. I only spilled it one time, I just go slow and try to be very careful.

Our daily usage is fairly similar so it's good to know how long it lasts you (and I will definitely use UncleJunkle's calculated amounts). Also very helpful to know you've had 10 year old vape liquids without loss of potency - this is important info. And appreciate your bowl suggestion, it makes total sense but I may not have figured it out myself, lol.

Before you go and buy your whole nic stash, head over to the DIY section, tell them your story about how you want nic base that's much weaker than 100mg due to your tremors, and ask what would be the best nic base configuration you should buy to mix down to 6mg at 70VG 30PG the easiest. I'm not good at doing that and I have no idea what calculator is available to figure that out.

Absolutely will do this - it's been a few years since I visited the DIY section and found them very helpful (though they weren't too good at keeping it simple, lol). If you're ever in the SF Bay Area, I'd love to take you out to lunch/dinner, as a small token of appreciation for all your help - just let me know.

Returning to the topic, did you guys receive vape packages from China for the last few weeks? via USPS? From which sellers?

After having asked about my latest shipment being returned to China, this is the email I received just now.

This doesn't sound good. China's new law against e-cigarette manufacturing and shipping kicks in a month from now.

I received a Health Cabin order a couple weeks ago. It went through NL post and took about a month.

Received one Fasttech order last week and one two days ago. Both arrived in about 3 weeks.

I received half my order from Sourcemore. I placed the order on 1/24 and it arrived 16 days later. It was delivered by FedEx though, and the other half is still in NY customs. It is scheduled to come via USPS.

I received a fasttech order Feb 5. Order was placed last week of Dec 2021 but didn't ship until 1st (maybe 2nd) week of Jan 2022 because of some items took a while for restocking. Let's say about 1 month in transit. In other words, normal.

Well, bad news. It was in NY customs and now the tracking shows this:



Origin Post is Preparing Shipment -> We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.

I ordered a Recurve v2 from Fasttech that shipped on the 8th and shows movement well enough however the picture of the package they show has in the description "Atomizer" and it is USPS Expedited Service to the USA, so there is that to wonder if they will re-label it as they have before a few packages when it gets to California of just send it back,? idk

In 2021 all my Fasttech USPS Expedited orders were declared as "atomizers". All got through fine even though DHL prohibits vape gear (DHL Global is what was used for FT USPS Expedited from China to USA). Before vaping came along, the word atomizer was a word used synonymously with spray bottle, like a perfume bottle, which fasttech also sells BTW

FastTech Search - Perfume Atomizers

I stopped using USPS expedited when it stopped being faster than Epacket for me. No use in paying the $4-6 for the same speed as the free option IMHO.

So the reshipped package went from ISC NY to Queens distro this time instead of Jamaica distro. Today it arrived at at the distro 100 miles away from me, so I should get it tomorrow as it will leave there tonight most likely and be in my mailbox tomorrow, as usual.

The original problematic shipment that went to the Jaimaica NY distro has no change in tracking. Went back to China and still there as far as I can tell.

I'm a bit jealous to see how these parcels travel from China - Jamaica - US and back to China sometimes and all that for ~$20!

Are you wishing you were in the box?

Are you wishing you were in the box?

we'll all get to travel (the last one) in the box at some point

I was actually wishing to travel between countries for reasonable money

Jamaica, in this case, is an area in the borough of Queens in New York City.

Just for informational purposes..

And my packages were epacket so postage cost for retailer was much less than $20. I paid almost $8.

Jamaica is anywhere you want if you have a good vape(orizer) with you
