Or perhaps, the other way around ? BTW, what is “shaving”, anyway ? Never heard of it.

I think that we should rightfully credit Captain Thunder Thighs for graciously seeding an erudite conversation.

(Reuters, October 8, 2019): “Alibaba to stop sales of e-cigarette components in United States”

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd said that listings for products such as box mods, vape pens, herbal vapors, heat not burn devices, and empty pod cartridges would not be displayed for users located in the U.S.

Interesting.
Not displayed /= not sold to or delivered to! :wink:

Makes you wonder whether VPNing into their site, but using a stateside address during the completion of the process would work. :thinking:

I mean, after all, it’s not a law here. And China obviously has no problem allowing them to sell or ship goods here everywhere else in ‘online China’…

Odd indeed.
I wish I had a VPN… chuckles and grins
No. Seriously. I wish I had one. :cry:

Aren’t there still some “free” VPN services (albeit not-trustable, and/or “honey-pots” for broke crooks, etc) ?

Now that they have sworn-off “Satan’s vaping tools”, they’ll probably just concentrate on Fentanyl(s) … :stuck_out_tongue:

If there are, I wouldn’t trust them.
(for the obvious reasons you cited)

But your merely buying vaping gear is not likely to be “sale-able” compromising information ? Perhaps hard to imagine governmental clowns having the jurisdiction or time to ream on you (making you a “poster child”).

IMO, it’s more about the “free” connection not being trustworthy. Wouldn’t care a bit about “the authorities” knowing.

Right. I was not, however proposing utilizing the service as anything else but as a tool for “Alibaba”, et al.
