Well, im going to have to finally quit vaping after 4 years
Because of the shipping ban, I can no longer get the juice I have been vaping for 2 years. They have stopped shipping them to my local store and I cant order it myself so I am done. I wasn't a smoker before, I just enjoyed vaping, using a nord and buying 1 coil and bottle of juice per month was cheap, and I never noticed any bad health effects.

An ode to TC vaping
More than 5500 puffs and 120ml later the cotton still looks fine and it never tasted burnt. After more than a year of TC vaping I'm still impressed how good TC mode performs and how much longer the coil and cotton will last than in power mode. In power mode I could barely reach 1500 puffs before having to rewick.
Salt nic is a black hole for me

Nicotine salt potency

Skrill
Skrill is undoubtedly the main alternative for vaping to Paypal. One of the reasons is that this is a company based in UK and it is very pro-vape. The same goes for Payoneer. However, in its terms of use, Skrill prohibits tobacco products, but I think vaping can pass.
Payoneer
Payoneer is the number 1 platform for Freelancers. As a Freelancer in Madagascar, I cannot use Paypal, because the latter, in addition to being a patented asshole on vaping, is a racist of the worst kind by systematically banning poor countries.
And the others ? Wordpay, TransferWise, etc
There are many alternatives to Paypal today. We can cite platforms like WordPay or Stripe, but they are all American companies. Biden is an anti-vaping motherfucker of the worst kind, and everything American will have to be avoided during his presidency.

I get the impression that enforcement is erratic on Paypal. My guess is that they are a bit conflicted. They make their money through people buying stuff, but they are probably under pressure to play the game and stay away from nicotine. So they write a rule but try not to enforce it too much.
Beamslider Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
Paypal prohibs vape equipment without preappoval. Doesn't seem to be much enforced though. But if some filed a dispute, paypal would probably enforce it.
puffon Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
If I had to file a dispute, I would say it's a "electronic gadget", like FT calls them.
Beamslider Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
LOL there's that with FT. They are probably playing a game with customs clearance more than paypal
gpjoe Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
But still, how is it that they turn a completely blind eye to vaping equipment on ebay? Certainly they know, since the items are being sold regularly and the only way to pay is via Paypal. Isn't that a blatant violation of PP policy?
Beamslider Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
With eBay you have to state that it doesn't contain nicotine. You can sell most anything on eBay with the right disclaimer in the listing. Besides eBay for the most part only takes down listings that someone complains about. They use that for enforcement plus some bot searching but mostly only act on complaints.
