  1. Vape shop owners are fired up over a new plan by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to levy a 75 percent excise tax on products purchased from wholesalers.

    The tax proposal, contained in the Democratic governor’s revised budget released Friday, threatens the future of the industry, the owners said. They predict it would lead most of the state’s approximately 90 vape shops to close as consumers turn to online sellers in search of lower priced e-cigarettes and supplies.

    “Just do the math,’’ said Christine Mazzotta, who owns three vape shops in Connecticut and leads the state chapter of the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trades Association, an industry group. “A tax that high is simply going to push business out of Connecticut. It’s going to close stores.”

    The tax proposal is contained deep within the governor’s revised budget plan. If approved by the legislature, the state would begin collecting the excise tax on Jan. 1. It would generate $4.3 million in fiscal 2018 and $8.5 million the following year.

  2. The primary reason why we ship to the US (other than following customs rules) is that, when we open shipping to a country that has customs regulations in place and that order is seized, we usually get some pretty angry complaints in our ticket system that their order went "missing." Even after agreeing to the terms during checkout and knowing full well in many cases, you're not supposed to import vape supplies. We're then given a couple of choices, reship out our loss (and risk it being sized again) or the customer threatens to file a chargeback. (At which point it becomes time consuming to fight. And we always fight chargebacks). 

    Way back when we did ship to Mexico, we had quite a few issues with fraudulent transactions. Which is a real shame. Ultimately, we decided to remove Mexico from our shipping options. 

    We're actually smaller (in the US anyway) than I think some people realize so those losses can really hurt the bottom line over time. I wish we could ship all over the world without hesitation but a few bad apples ruin it for everyone. :(

    Cab anybody tell me how to change the color of member's names?  I can't read most of them.  I use my phone or iPad almost exclusively to view VT. 

    What I have now is member's names are black or dark purple on a black background and it's next to impossible to read them.

    Any help?

    That doesn't sound right. Can you send me a screenshot so I can? Sounds like something needs to be adjusted.

  5. It is not normal for liquid to come out of your tank. There are a number of reasons that could be causing this but the model you have and the tank would help. As for the dry throat, PG can dry out your mouth, simply keeping fluids nearby to drink and you should be able to adjust to this easily. It's a common complaint. 

    The burning in the lungs however is not normal, make sure you're not letting your coil burn. (This happens when you run out of liquid or run the coil too hot). 

  6. Well you're also welcome to order from us :) Then, if we do something wrong you can blast it out on the forum and you'll be sure to get our attention ;)

     

    Additionally you can use the @ symbol to get a hold of any of the staff. This "calls" us out and let us know you have a question.
