I found this on reddit.

Eightvape supposedly found alternative way to ship

From their website:

Valued customers and community,

After the surprising news of the amendments to the PACT act, we’re happy to announce that we’ve secured alternative carrier solutions for order shipments, and will continue servicing most of our customers in the continental U.S. We’re utilizing a network of local and regional carriers to ensure that packages arrive quickly, and in compliance with all state and federal laws.

Beginning March 15, 2021, some states will be activated in our network, and must use our single shipping option at checkout. Over the next two months, we’ll roll out this network to cover customers in all states, and make our single shipping option available to everyone. We’re planning to expand carrier selection in the future so customers have more shipping options to choose from. All packages will be Adult Signature Required parcels (21+), and MUST be signed for. Drop-off not available.

Because of this, we’re urging you to send vape mail to your places of work, so it’s easier to receive a package during the day. Or if someone is at home during the day, they can sign for the package. The signee does not have to be the recipient of the package, but only an adult who lives or works at the shipping address.

We’ll continue to provide tracking for your packages so you know when to expect your mail.

At this time, we cannot guarantee service to customers in Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico because of the unavailability of air coverage, and will stop shipping to these states on April 15, 2021. However, we’re committed to pursuing solutions that will give us reach in these areas.

We look forward to providing fast, affordable shipping as the year continues. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Eightvape Team

This does apply to Nicotine. Liquid Nicotine Wholesale is urging people to stock up before the 28th as they won’t be shipping to residential customers after that. River I believe the same.

Agreed, watching that trippy rippers guy had me jonesing for a quadruple espresso and a shot of amphetamines to follow the energy, lingo and dumbing down for us old “mother chuckers”
If I want to see something new I watch Zophie Vapes.
As far as the topic of shipping goes it looks like many e-tailers are clearing inventory with even some companies shutting down.
I hate their customer service but EightVapes says they will have new continental shipping.
Use my code for 10% off and they have limited stock of a few items. Pm for the code.

You know, that right there: using an attractive Woman to sell products is a tactic that you would think all the other review channels would’ve thought of long before the middle-aged daddy-cools with no presence at all were ever put in front of a camera :smirk:

Thinking, there’s also plenty of female vapers too, but even they would be more likely to listen to a hot chick in a vape video, because (the younger among them at least) would either relate to her or aspire to her.

Nobody on gods earth - living or dead - has ever aspired to be a 60 year old try-hard making a fool of themselves for viewers who shut their video off 20 seconds in :slight_smile:

Just bought 3 more solos and an X from Element and Eightvape. Got good prices and discounts but nearly no choice on colors now.

She’s not hard on the eyes, but she IS quiet, well spoken, honest and can wrap could and wick about anything. Yet she gets harassed by her competitors in that industry. Those guys with nifty trendy will be a welcome loss, but I fear we will lose our good ones too.

Wait, I’ll pick a quick video and watch it… she’s not hard on the eyes, but I’m more lured-in by the prospect of a vape-related video that isn’t just another braindead old doodbro with nothing to say but "Er yeah umm, it’s like, good doods buy it"

Enjoy! She’s a breathe of sane air.

Yeah she shits on every male reviewer I’ve seen: without a doubt why she’s copping shit - she’s hands-down better at it than any one of them has any hope of being.

Not only because she’s more attractive than the dumpy middle-aged male reviewers - though that sure, that obviously makes her more watchable: rather than trying and epic-failing to be cool like those aforementioned deadheads, she is a bit of a dag but doesn’t try to hide the fact.

She’s being herself: that’s why she’s so much better.

And while her competition waggle their arms around like dickheads trying to simulate a personality they’ve never had, she does have a personality which she uses to good effect and which prevents her looking as fake as rubber dog-shit like said male blow-hards - whose family and friends watch only out of pity or obligation.

Yeah, she’s intelligent, well spoken and charming in that clumbsy/daggy way which is better, really - even when she’s trying to be smoooooth and not hitting the mark she’s always being herself 100% :thinking:

In a world packed with pretentious bores trying to be like everyone else, anyone with an original personality of their own is a rarity, which she has.

It’s the dagginess though: If she was too polished, she wouldn’t be amusing or interesting.

I dunno. This guy is entertaining to watch:

@scifoc, hehe the Bogan is funny as hell. When I first saw him, I wasn’t sure, but as time wore on, I knew he knew, the deal. When I saw him take a stand against VooPoo, I knew it was the right decision. That’s actually a great vid, and when he says, “Really tasty flavor”, that’s saying something…

Lol. he’s crazy good.I don’t share his passion for fruity beer but his reviews are great.

Vaping Bogan is amazing! Good solid upstanding dude who does a LOT for AUS & even worldwide. advocacy. He also refuses sponsors & gets his support through his viewers, Patreon/ giveaways etc IIRC. I always just skip his beer review portions bc I don’t drink but I like that he does something different & is obviously pretty passionate & so knowledgeable!

@Guido_Possum @Mad_Bricky Zophie used to be one of my favorites, but for the last 6-8 months something changed. She made a video saying she won’t be vaping on camera anymore & tried reviewing other random household type items for awhile. She bought a new house, moved (great for her on that!!!) but basically now she will only upload sponsored videos about a single product, usually just some pod system or odds & ends household items sometimes. I’m happy she’s doing her thing but I really do miss her vape videos :broken_heart::pensive: maybe she got tired of all the piggish, harassing comments? I used to politely call out the really rude guys in her comments for her all the time, us women gotta support & uplift one another!

Thanks for the awesome links/ info @robin & @HVPGH ! I will update the main post with that & more info soon!

Do you guys think some companies will start allowing in person pick ups after the mail ban? River said no due to covid but I still live within 2hrs driving distance to Liquid Barn (who does allow in person pickups) & 20min away from Nude Nicotine, I asked them about in person pickups 3x over the past 2 months but no response yet :sweat:

Yes, a popular online shop in my area called (/wet vapes ) will allow in store pick ups.

Too bad to hear that! I always loved her basic reviews and coil builds. Sent you a pm, don’t want to completely drag this off topic. I’ll try a new thread on reviewers.

Great store chain in Upstate NY. I bought a lot of gear from them. I hope they can keep shipping somehow.

I have some dual coil iteration of the SC Supreme (from 4 years ago), it was all the hype gear at the time. I found the flavor OK, nothing spectacular. I’ll tell you what I hated about it, too damn many little “O” rings and if one goes missing the tank leaks like the titanic. Cleaning it required taking it completely apart, there were so many parts you would think it was an automobile…Hard pass on any new and improved Supremes…bring back Diana Ross & the real Supremes. -Lastly, these stainless steel over thought attys are machined well, they should be cause they are pricey too.
