Michele, are you the one who posted the Cigabuy-Paypal message? My friend from Sourcemore asked for the link to that. They are having issues with Paypal and she’s interested in knowing more.

This is where friends or family in other states can help you. They can just repackage anything for you.

I had a friend in NJ do that for me when MA started their flavor ban but 2 months later NJ also implemented the ban. So now I’m thinking with the mail ban how this will work for some of us? Only if alternative carriers start operating, right?

It all depends on the site. I’ve tried to order from a few online vendors and they wouldn’t ship to me. I’m not sure why. . What are you looking for specifically.?

Robin, I just had a thought when looking at your post helping Muth. Do you think we should start a MASS PM, and drag 25 people in there, and talk about this stuff ?
Say bots, outsiders are lurking about on big “Vaping” sites, looking for intel on who’s shipping to whom ?

Specifically dotstick coils at this point. I came across wet Vapes and while it’s a haul worst case I’d do store pickup and hit a hike while out that way, hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
Need to stock up on wire, backup mods and rdas and my area is hurting for knowledgeable shops.

I’m sure everything is recorded on some mega server somewhere at a NSA black site. Not even joking. Someone may never see it but I’m sure they have the ability to find it. Just like monitoring networks at client sites. We may not be actively monitoring employees internet/email activity you can be damn sure I can find out where you been, what you’ve looked at, who/what you’ve been emailing. I hope it doesn’t get to the point where we have to use vpns, Tor, and lurk on the dark web.

People are getting paranoid. The government only banned USPS from the movement of vape products. They didn’t make the vaping products illegal. They just made it more difficult to obtain. You will be able to walk into a vape B&M and obtain anything on the shelf. No one is spying on us.

Putting on my tin foil hat…but I think you are wrong. Maybe not actively, but they are at least passively.

there was a show on TV a long time ago, 10+ years, 60 Minutes perhaps.
but it talked about and showed large warehouses that all they had in them was hard drives to store web content.

The only thing I needed to stockpile on was my 2 old school favorite juices. I think I just bought my last load, they’re running out quickly it seems because nic choices are slim.
If it truly is the end I am now pressured to up my game. I have picky tastes and do not easily please myself with my mixes.

I have 2 issues with being able to walk into a b&m. 1 there isn’t one within 40 miles of my home that carries any kind of rebuildable attys, most won’t even special order any. They also do not carry mechs. When asked why they say nobody uses that stuff, but I know of at least 12 people besides myself that do use them. 2 since I live in Pa I have to pay the normal 6%sales tax plus the 40% vape tax, which I heard there is a bill to increase to 65%.

I feel you. If you smoked you would have been paying that anyway. Your going to plan your buying better. 40 miles is a long way to drive. Shop with your phone. Pay more for shipping. There will be alternative shippers. Get on the the phone to Senator and House rep. Become a PITA for them. Get your friends to do the same.

Yeah that’s one of the reasons I quit smoking, that and I was having a hard time breathing. Trust me I’ve been more than a pita for state and federal governments on matters which have been plaguing the vape community and industry, I have written more emails, and a couple of pen and paper letters, than I can remember, I have taken every survey I could find, and spend almost all my lunchs making calls. The unfortunate part is that most government officials believe the anti vaping bullshit and believe that vaping is as harmful to public health as cigarettes. I did have one state representative, which I actually got to talk to for about 15 minutes, say he would look outside the conventional thinking of government and look into some the research supporting vaping. Whether this is true or he was just trying to get me off the phone we’ll see.
