Or has it become too much of a hassle for you? |

| Stopped smoking for a couple years by going to the vape. Then the Chinese dumped everything they could on the market including a lot of vape juice with sketchy ingredients including diacetyl. There was a place close by that made custom blends in-house from American made ingredients but they eventually closed down. After that I said fugg it and went back to cigarettes. At least I can tell roughly how those will kill me. Vaping just got too dangerous, not to mention all the leaking tanks and running out of juice and constant coil fuckery and batteries that didn't even last a year and occasionally breaking a mod then the whole mech vs. mod nightmare. Only so much that technology can try to solve a problem before you have to admit that it can't solve this particular problem very well. |

Used to pick up some local stuff, and they quit making it thanks to the .gov. Went with Charlie's Chalk Dust King Bellman, now that's discontinued. I decided fuck it and picked up the last two bottles I could find, and that's the end for me. Ran out Saturday night....we shall see |

Yes. Almost 10yrs now. But I still have an occasional smoke. I'm well stocked on nicotine, which is the only thing that would be an issue for when the shipping ban actually starts (last I heard, it was delayed). Maybe a couple years worth. Nothing else besides mods/tanks will be affected by the shipping ban, since there's really nothing else that's vape-specific, so I haven't been super concerned. Even worse case scenario, I have to buy a mod/tank from a local vape shop at storefront pricing, oh well. They aren't items that need to be bought frequently. Shit, I've been using my current mod and tank for years now. But on the other hand, I have a kid on the way and have been thinking about just quitting nicotine and vaping altogether. |

still vaping. Just did my first online order since the mail ban. Prices are a lot higher than they used to be, but apparently the shipping ban has been postponed. I pick up all my packages at the post office anyway, so requiring a signature is a nothing burger for me. |
|
I stopped a while ago accidentally. Got too lazy to charge my batteries one night and just never picked it back up. I'll still have the occasional cigarette or hit a buddy's vape when we're hanging out but that's pretty much it. Did mail order nicotine get banned or something? They talked about that for a while, judging from the posts here it actually happened. |

From what I've read about X Delivery some people have had to wait 2-3 months for their packages. That’s what mine did. Now it’s in Salt Lake City. Been there for about a week. ETA. Just checked. Been in SLC since the 28th. |

I read about the slow delivery times and decided to just go to a local shop the day I ordered it. Prices are definitely higher, but I wanted to throw my cigs in the garbage. I don't even know why I went back to them. |

| I called a local vape shop to order some juice today and I was informed that many of the well known companies aren't selling juice now (at least for the time being). Apparently they have to submit flavors to the FDA for approval? He told me something like 90% are being turned down right now. This is crazy. Stock up I guess even with the delivery times if you have a specific juice you want. |

Then ordered 2 more times and they shipped via USPS recently so I had my order in less than a week. Guess they’re back to Bootleg Shipping Company? |

I can only find one place online that looks legit AND delivers to Colorado due to some tax BS our shit state gov't passed. All the local stores are 2-3× more expensive than online. Vaping got me off of my 2-3 pack a day smoking habit and down to barely 1.5 nicotine, if that even. Time to follow through and quit I guess. |

I wonder how they pick and choose which packages to send via USPS or their shitty shippers. After you said that earlier, I ended up seeing posts on an ecig Reddit sub where people said they randomly got their Element orders via USPS. Some who order from them frequently say it’s been different every time for them. In 2 days, it will be a month since I ordered. Last scan was in Georgia on the 10th. This is probably my last order with Element. I’d be a little more understanding with them, if they only used Deliverol and whatever other shit companies they ship with, because that was their only choice. But now I’m kind of annoyed with them from the fact that they sometimes use USPS, but not other times. Oh well. Hopefully I’ll find another vendor when I need one. I should be good for awhile if/when my tanks get here. I ordered multiples so my GF and I have backups and I’m not left stranded again. We are good on everything else with backups. |

Just shot Element an email. I think I’ve been patient enough at this point. Over 30 days and over 20 business days since I ordered, and no movement on tracking in 18 days. I hope they just resend my order via USPS or refund me. If not, I will probably initiate a chargeback. Fuck the fed gov for that stupid ass shipping ban. |
I've ordered from Element many times since the reg changes. They all come USPS. First time, mailman honked to have me come out. Said a signature is required but due to policy he couldn't even hand me the tablet to sign. Then asked, vape stuff? Yep! Cool I'll just leave any future boxes in the mailbox.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I am responsible for everything I do.

Well shit, now I’m starting to take it personally, that they didn’t ship mine USPS.
