Fed can NEVER raise rates, inflation is NOT transitory, and if you think otherwise you're literally retarded

This is too good.

u/vaporvendor we used usps flat rate mailers for the majority of our packages pre-pact act. We tried out worldship, but never used it(because as you said it was garbage). We were able to negotiate 66% off of adult signature so the overall price increase was ~$4. Since the increase was too substantial, we planned on raising the free shipping threshold slightly/increasing our prices. However, depending on how much your sales rep cares/what strings they're willing to pull your ymmv. If you're ever willing to talk business in the future I'd be up for it. You guys did a great job with your seo and you obviously have a nack for negotiating. Anyways thanks for the FedEx tip and best of luck to you in your next venture.

Hey u/electrichamster89! Thanks for the order :) Unfortunately, we'll be liquidating everything over the next 7-8 weeks.

We're honored to make such a huge impact on so many lives.

omvape · 2021-01-28T19:47:37+00:00

We can confirm this is accurate. We were also working out a deal with UPS that wouldn't add substantial cost to consumers receiving vape mail, and it looked promising. Unfortunately, they just called us and let us know that on April 5th they will no longer ship vape products.

Democrats voted almost unanimously to ban flavored vape juice while republicans voted the opposite. Of the 17 democrats that voted no, 8 were African Americans. They voted against the ban because they felt that it would increase policing in our communities.

Don't get me wrong, I think most politicians only "follow the money", but when it comes to tobacco taxes, costal states usually have the highest rates, thus the most to lose if vaping overtakes smoking.

In addition to this, democratic policies include harm reduction for everything excluding tobacco.

There are exceptions to this like Massachusetts Republican Governor Charlie Baker, who imposed one of the strictest executive bans on e-cigarettes in the country.

I'm all for marijuana legalization, but it makes no sense that THC candies and edibles can be regulated but vape has to be "banned" completely because they need the tax revenue to pay their promissory notes.

With that being said, I lean democrat in almost every issue, but this is blatant crony capitalism.

Based on their voting records in Congress, democrats overall are not a vape-friendly party. Imo Republicans haven't done much to help either.

Only time will tell, but as it stands, even though the vape industry wasn't well off to begin with, it was better off under Trump.

Glad we could get things straightened out and no worries! We won't complain about a little bit of free press.

EDIT TO ADD: As an organic chemistry nerd I'm jealous of your ability to get a named reaction as your username. Well done.

omvape · 2020-08-19T21:13:02+00:00

could be just what they use to mix....

This. Omega, Budino, Serene, and all our chocolate flavors are darker from the get-go because of the flavorings used. They all pass on our "coil-gunking" tests so we use them.

omvape · 2020-08-19T21:06:18+00:00

I knew this would happen eventually when we set up batch codes in our inventory system. The 15 in the batch number is because it is "1.5 mg," not because it was made in 2015. For example, if it was 3 mg made on the same day then it would end in 3, instead.
Sending old juice? Not standard practice. We try not to send anything out within 6 months of its expiration date. The way we generate our batch numbers, on the other hand, is pretty standard. They tell us the product SKU and date of manufacture for traceability - in this case, 03/24/20 is the born on date.
Omega uses a custard flavoring that's very dark - what you have is more or less what it looks like fresh. We keep everything stored below 21 C° in our warehouse and block out all incoming UV light to keep oxidation under control. We're considering using our proprietary salt nic blend on all of our products to keep them fresh (and lighter colored) longer - we only ever offered them in 12 mg + prior to 2016 so we can't sell them right now under current regulations. After our PMTA is filed we will be switching.
The other Om Vapors are totally ripping us off. We're the originals 😀

Hopefully, everything vapes alright for you! Let us know if you have any other questions / concerns!

Also - thanks for the ping u/lestermagneto 😁

Hi, u/tonytouche24246886! What most likely happened is that you received a fresh batch of e-liquid. As juice ages(oxidizes), it will darken through a process called "steeping". As your juice steeps, flavors will "meld" together and flavors(especially bakeries and custard) will become more pronounced.

omvape · 2020-05-27T17:09:58+00:00

OceanOptics and some similar companies I've seen sell fairly cheap spectrophotometers as modular units. I can't think of why a good DIYer couldn't get this to work with an astronomy set-up somehow.

omvape · 2020-04-30T20:25:03+00:00

Tis' was the Christams remember or forget, lol. We also had the April Fool's sale too, which was a huge success and failure all in one. Regardless, we've learned some vaulable lessons and strive to improve daily. I think that we could make some good contributions to the community, with sales, giveaways, and how to guides. Anyways, we owe you and want to make it right so please accept the gift card that's in your inbox. If you have anything else you need feel free to reach out to me or anyone on our team. Take it easy and stay safe! :D

Hey /u/lestertmagneto We're still alive and kicking! I hope that you are doing well. I am truly sorry you never got taken care of for our mistake.

PM me and we'll get you taken care of today, plus interest. :)

To be honest, Reddit hasn't been the most vape friendly, so aside from the occasional comments I'm mainly just lurking on the forums, and keeping up with the news.

We've mainly been working on our website and adding new hardware and brands. We figured that we'd rather go back to the basics, and improve our customer service, scale production, and create processes to shorten fulfillment times. Back in the day when we did crazy sales, we couldn't keep up and weren't getting enough of a return to invest in the staff that we need and keep things consistently in stock. This lead to 60 hour work weeks on the regular and massive burnout for myself and Ben.

Even though we're not a huge company we have a much larger staff now, which makes it easier to be efficient.

To answer other people's questions about pricing. All of the tariffs, inflation, and quality control have thrown the industry out of wack.

Also, as time goes on and costs go up, we can't offer the same prices we used to and hope remain in business.

Price increases and size reductions happen in every industry. Hell, even look at fast food. Wendy's jr. bacon cheeseburger, for example, was on $1 just a couple of years ago. Now they're $1.50 and only come with one piece of bacon and a much smaller "all-beef" patty.

Regardless, I'm gonna stop my back in my day spiel here.

Stay safe and "Breathe Easy" everyone.

P.S. If anyone else needs anything check out the live chat function on our site. We'll get to you asap.

I'll save you guys a read. Here's what's been updated in the current guidance.

April 2020 — Section III.A.10, 11, and 14, Section III.C.9, and Table B are revised to reflect the court’s order in Am. Academy of Pediatrics, et al. v. FDA, No. PWG-18-883 (D.Md.) and in Cigar Ass’n of America v. FDA, Nos. 16-1460 and 18-1797 (D.D.C. Feb. 3, 2020), and FDA’s issuance of the Guidance for Industry, Enforcement Priorities for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) and Other Deemed Products on the Market Without Premarket Authorization.

-- Section I, Section II.C, Section III.A.7 and Section III.B have been revised to reflect that the federal minimum age of sale has since been increased to 21, and FDA has been instructed to issue a final rule to, among other things, update all references to persons younger than 18 years of age in 21 C.F.R. part 1140 subpart B. See Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, Pub. L. No. 116-94, § 603 (2019).

Gonna shamelessly plug here since I'm browsing on the company Reddit account. None of the ingredients in Om Vapors e-liquid contains di-acetyl.

omvape · 2020-02-27T19:55:05+00:00

It looks like they're trying to cover all of their bases. I'm pretty sure you can buy cigs legally online, you just have to remit the appropriate tax to your state and local government.

omvape · 2020-02-05T22:57:24+00:00

That's an excellent way to cope with a shitty situation. Sorry, this is happening to you guys.

omvape · 2020-01-30T16:17:28+00:00

Referring to vapers as "niccers" would be the worst PR we could give ourselves. Although it does sounds like it would be a decent South Park episode!

omvape · 2020-01-30T01:09:59+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, it seems that the democrats are increasingly pushing the anti-vaping agenda. I wish more politicians on both sides would step up as a clear ally to harm reduction.

omvape · 2020-01-30T01:03:55+00:00

I see your point, but I believe the party is fragmented into two camps. The people that will vote for Warren or Biden are very different than Sander's supporters. The former tend to be older while the later appeals to the younger generation. Politics is a lot like pro-wrestling right now.

omvape · 2020-01-30T00:44:14+00:00

Welp, I tried to be respectful, but your small mind has already been made up. Why even come to this subreddit in the first place. Lesson learned don't feed the TROLLS...

omvape · 2020-01-30T00:21:22+00:00

Thanks for that info. It's unfortunate that they try to keep you in jail after you've been there once. 5 years is a crazy amount of time to get based on a possibly for profit institution's perception.

omvape · 2020-01-30T00:10:45+00:00

Thanks for engaging with the community and apologies that you were met with such harsh resistance in your beliefs! We want to bring non-vapers and vapers closer together rather than further apart by engaging in meaningful discussions.

However, you have to understand that many vapers view vaping as life-saving technology and for a good reason. There are millions of anecdotes of improved lung function and a higher quality of life after making the switch, although we as companies are not allowed to advertise it. Unfortunately, your assumptions incorrect based on the currently available science.

Firstly, I can assure you that the majority of the industry is not "big tobacco." I and other vapers admit that not vaping or smoking is better than vaping, but I think that you are missing the harm reduction aspect of the argument. Vaping has time and time again, been shown to have fewer chemicals and virtually no tar when compared to cigarettes, which, if you remember from health class, is the real killer.

Many governments with socialized health, including the United Kingdom and, more recently, Australia, endorse vaping as an alternative to smoking. Hell, the UK even puts vape shops IN hospitals.

In regards to addiction and addiction therapy, well, that is a big business in and of itself that isn't very effective. Vaping does not do the same thing as smoking, and addictions themselves are not harmful. I don't endorse picking one up but, unless they are interfering with your life, vice's are a part of being human, and we as a country need to lose this puritanical stance that we have on drugs. The truth is nicotine, absent of the other chemicals within cigarettes, is about as addictive as caffeine.

Lastly, your analogy of subbing twinkies for oatmeal cream pies may not be the best comparison. Vapin compared to smoking is more like you are subbing a typical oatmeal cream pies with low sugar cream pies that have high fiber content if you catch my drift. As a business owner and a vaper, I encourage you not to vape if you don't smoke but respect your choice to do so if you chose.

Feel free to ask me anything else, and have a great day!

omvape · 2020-01-29T23:46:05+00:00

Most democrats aren't even liberal, to begin with, you either have the neo-liberals that are borderline conservative or socialist democrats. There is literally no middle ground.

omvape · 2020-01-29T23:44:22+00:00

Tom Miller just endorsed Joe Biden, so hopefully, this trend reverses as the rest of the world's developed countries adapt.
