I just checked my Spam folder looking for an email someone said they sent me last week. It wasn't there but I found 3 or 4 pages of marketing emails from vape companies going back about a month. Before that there was only the usual handful of spam messages from the last 6 months since I last cleared it out, and none of them were vape related.
Not all vape emails are going to spam, I still get some in my Inbox. Unfortunately I deleted all the stuff in Spam before I thought about trying to figure out if they had anything in common. If I get more of them I'll take a closer look.
I use Yahoo Mail for my email accounts. I wonder if they added some vape related filter. Or the vendors are adding some verbiage to their marketing emails that triggers the spam filter.
Got this email from Sourcemore at 2:01 this morning and thought I'd post it for those who aren't subscribed to their newsletter emails.
"Important Notice About Payment Methods - Sourcemore"
"You should have heard of the ban of PayPal towards all vape-related payments.

Thank you so much for you trust and support all the time.
We believe we will overcome this together!"
Does anyone know what's going on with the folks at Vapinaze? I ordered parts in late Sept. of '14 then, in response to an Email ad from them, an AC9 v.2 in late October '14. I received receipts for both orders, waited several months (I've always found them to be a bit slow) but somewhere around the end of 2014 clicking on their email site, other than the homepage, results in a message reading: "shop.vapinaze.com is currently unavailable"; no response to numerous emails either.
Have they flown the coop with my (and, I would think, many other's) money?
I ordered a tugboat box mod and i got a email saying that it was completed 2 days ago and no email about trackng number nor any news on the status of it besides complete. Anyone ever experience this with flawless vape shop? Any ideas? i called their warehouse but not much help didn't really tell me anything bout my package.
I am pleased to present that Hopium is alive and well.
Big thank you to all the supporters of our hopium thread. A Glimmer of Hopium against the Vape Mail Ban
Vape business will continue as usual but you will see an increase in the shipping cost. This means that if you want lower-priced vapes you should still stock up before shipping prices increase. List of vendors below that will continue shipping. If you find more please add/share them with us.

If people under a certain age are not allowed to purchase vape items, then what's the issue?
Just don't sell to any minors, and handle it like alcohol and tobacco. Go after any stores or vendors that break these rules and that sells to any minor and hit them with hefty fines or prosecution. Problem solved.
I reject the idiotic, false and unscientific argument that certain types of flavors are only suitable for kids. An adult is not allowed to like fruit flavors or desert flavors or any other type of flavor?
Do adults suddenly lose their sense of taste when they age, and they'll be content vaping poor tobacco imitation flavors and menthol for the rest of their lives?
I'm an adult, and my favorite flavors are custard type flavors. Just because I used to smoke, that doesn't mean that I should have to vape and like tobacco flavors. You don't ban all sorts of flavors and deny adults who are ex-smokers the opportunity to continue to be smoke free, just because they were lucky enough to have found and switched to vaping.
Sorry if I sound cynical, but so what if a handful of people have reportedly died because they were foolish enough to use blackmarket counterfeit items? Items that have zero to do with nic based vaping I should add.
How many millions of people die from tobacco related diseases?
Millions is a lot more than a handful last I checked, and the only thing that banning vaping and vaping related items will accomplish is to ensure that many more people will be added to the list of the dead as many will return to cigs and many current cig smokers will never make the switch to vaping, as the politicians seek to deny people the opportunity to stay off of cigs.
If they ever find a cure for cancer, I wouldn't be surprised if they ban that too, because 7 people happened to get some ill side effects from it.
Zyn nicotine pouches. Wow. If you aren't able to vape in a particular place or time, these things kick hiney. Tobacco free nic salt pouches use like snus. They come in 3 and 6mg. 4 flavors, and of course I like peppermint best. Tobacco, cinnamon and menthol are the other choices. I know this is not vape related but....ya know? Its doable in the right circumstances. And I never had hiccups from nicotine until today. These things a powerful and stop a craving fast. Ok, back to vaping again, carry on...
I was going through my stash. I clean it out regularly and give away stuff that I no longer use. I have a Wake Mod RTA that takes both coils and you can build on it. I actually like the tank and it has a proprietary drip tip that I, of course, lost. It would be a tank that I'd hang on to just to future proof me if I had the drip tip.
It has been on my mind to try to find a replacement drip tip and so far no luck.
The other day I found one so I ordered two of them. I get an email letting me know that I have to verify my age by taking of a photo of me holding my ID. Are you friggin kidding me?
Immediately I got very irritated - certain things just set me off --lol. I replied to the email with a cancel my order and refund me and cancel my account as well. I also let them know that I have been purchasing vape products online for years and have no issue going through an online process but I am not taking a photo of my ID with me holding it and sending it to you.
Received an email just now with a tracking number --- I guess the drip tips were mailed --lol.
Have your say: What is the main reason you vape? (Electronic Cigarettes) This poll will be meaningless unless participants are completely honest.
Link it wherever you see fit. Forums, facebook, blogs, emails etc. The larger the sample the better the results.
Hi all. I've been having a really rough few months and need some advice. Long story short, lost my job last month due to covid after having hours cut 5 months before that, wasn't able to keep paying for our old place, so we had to move to a new apartment. I paid a neighbor to help me move since my wife is pregnant and is unable to lift much, and his son stole all my vape stuff besides 4 batteries and my charger. Every other vape related item I owned was in that box. I am now left searching for replacements with very little cash to spend. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to where I can find a decent mod and atomizer for a small price. I would prefer an 18650 squonk setup if possible, but any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am also in need of low cost juice, so if anybody knows a good place for me to go it would really help me. I got a cigarette from my neighbor today and smoked it after promising my daughter I was done smoking, and feel terrible about it and need to find something quickly. Thank you in advance.
Just last Saturday I placed an order on Health Cabin and was able to pay via PayPal. However, last night I placed another order for items that were out of stock on Saturday. I placed my order, received the email confirmation, and info. that my order was pending payment, which has been usual since probably January. (There had always been instructions given then...about how to sort of "get around" PayPal's vape policy and still pay that way). I went back to HC to pull up my order and pay for it that same way, but found only Western Union as a payment option now. So, I contacted Support at HC. I just got the following email from them about paying for my order.
"Thank you for you big supports to HealthCabin.
Unfortunately, out of PayPal new policy to vaping related websites, we have to remove PayPal from our site now. You can see many vaping sites have removed PayPal about 1-3 months ago.
Now, we are sourcing new payment options and we will put them online in coming 2-3 weeks.
Right now, there are 2 options to process the payment:
1. Pay with Western Union, you can pay online or visit WU banks locally.
Check their website for more info: https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/home.html
2. Pay with deposit. For this option, you may send us money via bank wire transfer. We require minimum $200USD per transaction. Once payment received, we will add them to your account deposit, and you can use them to pay for future orders. We will show all detailed info about your deposit updates and happy to send you a receipt with our company official seal.
Let me know your thoughts, thank you."
I responded and definitely let him/her know my thoughts about it.
So, our options are steadily dwindling even more.
