I can't find the answer anywhere but I am wondering if it is ok to buy from China. I was wanting to order from Health Cabin because their prices look good. I know the shipping is high but I need a bunch of stuff so in the long run it would be cheaper for me. Will it get to me ok or can it be taken seized and them I am out of money? Is there fees due when I get it? Can my order be tracked so I know it is shipped, and will it take forever to get to me, lol I know these are stupid questions but I have no idea and can't afford to take any chances. All help is greatly appreciated.

I've ordered many times from Health Cabin, Best Ecigs and Heavens Gifts all in China without a problem. And it does not take 2-3 weeks to get the delivery unless you go the cheap air mail route for shipping. For $6 more, I use EMS shipping and from the day I order to when it arrives at my door is 4 - 6 days. Many times I've received the order in 4 days which is amazing to me. And even with EMS shipping, I am saving money.

And there is nothing "risky" about ordering from reputable suppliers in China, where personal vaporizers and eliquid were invented.

If you're ordering "a bunch of stuff" you can get the shipping free from Health Cabin.. and that's in a week, not slow boat. Only problem I see is that their stocks are still low (just like everyone else).

Considering the price difference from China and US vendors, even doing the DHL shipper route you can still get more for less.

Items to watch are juices, flavors and batteries. They "may" get slowed down in China Customs and/or in US Customs, but as long as your shipping to the US, you will still get them. (for now..)

I first bought from Health Cabin almost 2 years ago because the eGo-T batteries (with the 5-click on/off feature) were still very hard to find here. Right after that Health Cabin came out with the eGo-T batteries in pretty colors. Even after paying $16 shipping, it was still cheaper than buying here. And, they just plain had more choices!

Nowadays, I don't really need to go to Health Cabin much anymore. There's a lot more available locally than there used to be.

Keep an eye out for the periodic Health Cabin coops to save a little money on things that you can afford to wait a while for.

And, I've never had to wait for more than a week and a half to receive my orders from them.

Thank you everyone. I am looking to get some Kanger mt3, kanger evod, vivi nova with the metal sleeves, batteries, replacement atomizers for them. I don't have a ton of money and can't spend enough for the free shipping. I guess I can put a post on here and get some of this stuff here. I love trading on here:) The people are great here.
