  1. I took a look at your order it left China yesterday. (Foreign International Dispatch means it's in the air) I'd suspect it will arrive in the US this morning. Shipping is normally pretty quick however there was a Holiday in China until the 3rd. (You ordered on Tuesday the 3rd @ 6am it shipped the following morning) My rep was playing catch up :) Thus the reason for the delay. Pending customs it should arrive Monday I'd guess.

    Sorry for the delay, The Chinese love their holidays. :)

  2. They are only meant to last so long and should not be cleaned.

    Though, I wouldn't suggest vaping them till they taste nasty. Try to top off when you can they'll last much longer. I usually use a cartomizer for about 5-7 days or so. (give or take)

    Once they turn brown in the middle, time to toss :)

  3. They can but it's sort of like cleaning a wooden fork...

    They're meant to be disposable. (Even the plastic ones) I personally don't advice you clean them. I try to use one flavor per cart. Once the center of the cartomizer turns brown, it should be tossed.

    Whether atomizers or cartomizers, cleaning them always seems to cause more harm than good. Cleaning should always be a last resort.

  4. I'm sure if you purchase from the vendor you're information will be just fine, though I can't guarantee it as I've never ordered from them. They are blocked from Vapor Talk for domain squatting one of our store URL's. They will remain blocked until they wish to resolve the issue.

  5. Looks pretty much like a tank cartridge with filler. I honestly don't see how these would work any better than a standard cartridge. Granted it looks like it can hold a lot of liquid but I'm guessing you'd still end up with dryer vapes commonly associated with cartridges. I've never used them, so someone may want to correct me, that's just my logical guess.

    Filling it with needle also kills it for me.

  6. Forever Vapor has higher shipping costs because it comes direct mostly from China. It actually costs more to ship than what's shown (500g = 12.75 on the site but we pay 19.25) FV is better for larger stock up orders. You save a lot more but pay a bit more in shipping. (though we're still cheaper than any large site such as Amazon, Ebay etc) The VT store has higher prices but longer warranties and much faster shipping. It's all domestic, sort of a trade off :) We've tried to negotiate lower shipping costs but EMS is just like the US postal service, they have their prices and you can't really negotiate. We could offer first class direct shipping which is about 70% cheaper, but it would take 30 days delivery time as apposed to 5-6 days. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty impatient :lol:

    Support S2926/A6667 and Oppose S695-2011/A1468

    While Linda Rosenthal's bill that would ban all sales of electronic cigarettes in New York State is still pending in the Assembly Codes Committee, and Senator Klein's identical bill is still pending in the Senate Health Committee, competing bills that would simply ban sales to minors have been introduced in both the Senate and Assembly. These vastly improved proposals, S2926 and A6667, are currently pending in the Senate and Assembly Health Committees.

    Here are both sets of bills on the NYS legislative website, so you can see their sponsors, compare their contents, and track their progress: See S2926/A6667 at http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S2926-2011 and S695-2011/A1468 at http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S695-2011.

    The introduction of these competing bills is very good news for New York State, and we call on all CASAA members and other concerned persons to begin a new round of campaigning in New York, and to join us in calling, writing, faxing, emailing, and meeting in person with legislators in support of S2926/A6667, while at the same time denouncing S695-2011/A1468.

    Residents of New York State should definitely meet face-to-face with their own Senator and Assemblyperson to express their support for S2926/A6667's ban on sales to minors, and their strong oppostion to Rosenthal and Klein's misguided attempt to ban sales to adults with S695-2011/A1468.

    However, the biggest push right now for anyone who is willing to help, while these bills are all still in committee, should be to contact all the Senate and Assembly Health Committee members with that same message. Additionally, the Assembly Codes Committee members need to be made aware of the newer A6667, and our support for it, as it supplies a cogent reason for them to reject Rosenthal's A1468, even though they themselves do not as of yet have A6667 before them.

    Here is the contact list for the Senate Health Committee: http://www.casaa.org/CTA/article.asp?articleID=153&l=a&p=

    Here is the contact list for the Assembly Health committee: http://www.casaa.org/news/article.asp?articleID=154&l=a&p=

    And here is the contact list for the Assembly Codes committee: http://www.casaa.org/news/article.asp?articleID=155&l=a&p=

    What to say:

    (Feel free to copy & paste.)

    1. When addressing:

    Assembly members: Support A6667 that would ban sales to minors, and oppose A1468 that would ban all sales.

    Senators: Support S2926 that would ban sales to minors, and oppose S695-2011 that would ban all sales.

    2. Tell your story on how switching to an e-cigarette has changed your life.

    3. Research shows that over 99% of the diseases and deaths associated with tobacco use are caused by hazardous levels of carcinogens and toxins carried in the smoke itself. Because e-cigarettes do not expose the user to smoke, experts believe they carry little to no significant health risks.

    4. Smokers who cannot or will not quit using tobacco should be encouraged to switch to a smokeless alternative such as e-cigarettes, which would greatly decrease their health risks.

    5. To encourage adult smokers to use reduced-harm products such as e-cigarettes, these products should be made as accessible and affordable as cigarettes. A1468 (S685-2011 if addressing a senator) would ban a smokeless, low-risk product, leaving the most dangerous product—tobacco cigarettes—readily available.

    6. All evidence to date shows that the low health risks associated with electronic cigarettes is comparable to medicinal nicotine products and experts believe that there should be no significant risk to users or bystanders. This is supported by research done by Dr. Siegel of Boston University, Dr. Eissenberg of Virginia Commonwealth University and Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand. FDA testing, in spite of its press statement, failed to find harmful levels of carcinogens or toxic levels of any chemical in the vapor.

    7. Since 2003, there have been no reports of serious adverse reactions or deaths associated with e-cigarette use. It makes no sense to ban a product which has resulted in no consumer complaints and by all accounts is actually improving public health.

    8. I strongly support A6667 (S2926 if speaking to a Senatory) that would ban sales to minors, even though there is absolutely no evidence that e-cigarettes are particularly attractive to minors. Because e-cigarettes are largely used by middle-aged smokers, the product has no allure to youth. The products are also expensive to start up and require extensive maintenance.

    9. Claims made that e-cigarette flavors target youth are unsubstantiated. Nicotine gums and lozenges, both of which are adult products, come in Fruit Chill, Cinnamon Surge, Fresh Mint, Cappuccino, Cherry and Orange. The solution is not to take health choices away from adults, but to protect children by prohibiting sales to minors and enforce those laws.

    10. Direct them to the CASAA.org web site for more information

    Finally, here is a pre-written template letter suitable for faxing or mailing. Please consider adding to or modifying its content to personalize the letter. Be sure to insert the Senator or Assembly person's name at the beginning, and sign your name at the end. And if you are a New York resident, be sure to include your address:

  8. eh...I've started many businesses. Amway, if you can even call it a business, just isn't worth it. They where selling themselves as Quick Star for a while but must have gone back to Amway again. The bottom line, they're a pyramid scheme. More politically correct "Multi Level Marketing." It was one of my first "ventures." The only thing it showed me was how not to get screwed. Though, the sellers are very good at what they do.

    Can you make money? No not really. You end up having to purchase sample supplies up front and honestly that's not what Amyway wants you to sell. They want you to sell the videos and tapes further along the line to bring in more people. They'll tell you the more people you get the more money you make. It's all BS.

    Just go onto Youtube, Google, Yahoo etc and Type Amyway scam. You'll find all kinds of information. By all means try it if you want to, but in the end your not going to bring in that extra revenue you want. Trust me.

    You'd make more money opening an Ebay account and selling your unused miscellaneous items online. (which I also did) Now that pays some good money. When you run out of things to sell, hit up a garage sale, look for good deals, flip it online for a profit :)

    Just remember, quite a few people remember "someone who used to sell Amyway." There is a reason they're no longer doing it....
