Has anyone bought anything from Heaven Gifts since they lost their ability to use PayPal?
Well...it looks like US buyers' chances to buy vaping products from Chinese vendors and pay with PP...is likely coming to an end. I was just browsing Heaven Gifts again and the following jumped out at me. They have none of the major CC options listed for payment either. Glad I got in an order earlier last week and it was shipped already.
I now wonder how long before other Chinese vape products vendors will post something similar.

I recently bought a Squape R clone from Fasttech,its ok but not what i was expecting, so i'm looking now to kinda move up in the RTA world, I can't afford an original svoemesto, erlkonigen or taifun, but is it worth getting a clone of one of these? my clone experience so far hasn't really been amazing, obviously its hard to differentiate between it being the fact its a clone or that, heaven forfend, i just don't like the squape style.
So heres the rub, do i try another clone of one of these other styles as a cheap way of seeing if i prefer another RTA style, or do i just stick the money into an original like the Lemo 2 ?
I'm not certain of what i really want to be honest whether its dual coil i need for the flavour and clouds i'm not getting from my squape r or if its down to the build deck/airflow/chimney/whatever but the hit from the squape only satisfies if i pre-heat it for a second and only take a quick puff then. otherwise its low flavour dry throat hit.
it finally happened...my very first Ego battery has died. I've used him faithfully for almost 2 years...suprised he lasted this long.
Even though I upgraded long ago to bigger things, he was always with me and my mini protank, full of something light to get me started in the morning with my coffee.
have fun in battery heaven little guy.
you will be missed.
Dang i am lazy...and ill tell you why. i got frustrated building today, so i when to my little vape shop (50 feet away) and got myself a kanger subtank... and guess what, i freaking love it. i have only dripped like 15 times today on my Kennedy, but im using a tank now, and i don't care, probably because i hate pulling over in my car just to drip, but now im being lazier then poop, i haven't even got out of my lawn chair to go grab some juice...maybe its temporary, but right now im in total heaven.
Chasing the clouds, until i fall back onto the ash of earth... maybe its the dry cotton
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.
Unfortunately, our PayPal account was just restricted. We are unable to use PayPal to make or accept payment any more. Our balance is frozen for up to 180 days.
We have to remove PayPal from our website.
New payment methods such as Credit Card will be added ASAP.
Please check us back in a few days for further information.
You may also write to us if you want to get the latest update: service@sourcemore.com.

I placed an order last night with no issues, but...
Notice--PayPal payment method will be suspended for most e-cigarettes items: FastTech Forums
Notice--PayPal payment method will be suspended for most e-cigarettes items
Dear valued customers,
We're very sorry to inform you that PayPal officially revised the Acceptable Use Policy regarding e-cigarette related products, transactions involving most of the e-cigarette products will be prohibited from now. Other payment methods such as cryptocurrencies and gift cards are not affected. Non-e-cigarette products on our website are also not affected.
Paypal claims that e-cigarettes belong to activities requiring approval. But the fact is there is no way we can get the pre-approval after confirming with Paypal.
We are currently connecting with new credit card payment processors and will try to get them online asap.
At the same time, we will keep communicating with PayPal at all times. Once there are any further updates of this policy, we will make an announcement.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this change may cause, and thank you all for your understanding and continued support.
Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service if you have any questions, as we will be very happy to assist you with anything you need.
Best regards,
FastTech Team
I've just received a notice that Paypal is changing its terms and conditions, and buried deep inside the changes I found this.
PayPal said:
The Acceptable Use Policy currently prohibits use of PayPal for activities that violate applicable law or industry regulations regarding the sale of tobacco products or prescription drugs and devices. We're replacing that prohibition with new policy language covering these types of items, as well as e-cigarettes. Under the new language, use of PayPal for cigarette transactions will be prohibited. In addition, merchants will be permitted to use PayPal for sales of non-cigarette tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and prescription drugs and devices only with PayPals pre-approval.
...
The relevant parts of the chart under Activities Requiring Approval will be revised to read as follows:
PayPal requires pre-approval to accept payments for certain services as detailed in the chart below.

Let's hope that this doesn't involve you telling them and them freezing your account while they sit on your application for months. But it seems like they might at least be warming to the idea that e-cigs are not the root of all evil.
Hi all
So I'm currently set up with an iStick 50w and a SubTank (big un) all thanks to you guys im in Vape Heaven.
want i want to ask is this -
My Girlfriend is now getting more into Vaping and hasnt touched a Cigarette in quite some time. she has an iStick 20w and loves it (cos its pink -_- )
but she's not liking the tanks (aspire Viva Nova, one with a cross on it (completely forgot the name) and a protank 3 mini)
Shes tried my subtank AND LOVES IT! she's liking the airy draw and the ultimate flavour.
My question is she likes to vape at around 3.0-3.3V. Will the Istick 20w be able to SAFELY handle the protank nano with the 1.2ohm coil in?
I've told her she may have to up the power abit but other than that she should be fine right?
Hey All,
I just bought this: Sonic Wave Ultrasonic Jewelry Eyeglass Cleaner CD 2800 | eBay
It looks like a basic cleaner with on/off. So I need some help! I did not see the ability to program cycles.
How much should I fill out of the 1 possible pint?
What should I use to clean tanks? A guy who works next door says he uses cheap vodka.
How do I steep liquids with it? One of the main reasons I bought it was for the capability to steep some of my juices with it.
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.
