Post Office just said "you are just shipping a box to the UK?" I said no it is a Mod in the box. She said how do you spell that LOL. PO is completely inept compared to the private shippers. In more ways than that too. I was not going to pay UPS $112 to ship broken Mod and time was not an issue. Amazingly PO took 18 days but Customs on both sides took literally hours. Go figure. It is also of interest Customs does not mind Mods and neither does PO. Just the private shippers. The reason is it might have a battery. They are very wary of Lithium batteries. Interesting story a few Months ago on CNN. A guy disposed of a bunch of 18650's illegally and garbage truck exploded killing the driver. There is nothing funny about that and that is why they are wary. There is a simple answer to LIpo though since it comes with battery. If they ship Mod and battery separately. You declare battery package as HAZ. Then they are usually okay with it. Plus if it is a LI-ION just write in all caps DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY BATTERY. Then they are usually okay with it. Unless the shipping manager is a jerk. Toy Box is standard fare though. As an Attorney I prefer to be upfront and avoid litigation though. I take my risk being honest. I could honestly care less if anyone says toy box because it is a harmless device without the battery. Truck obviously exploded because those smash the trash. When it smashed the batteries spark lit all the methane present from the trash. At least I assume that is what occurred. I do wish people to be responsible and properly dispose of batteries of all types. Just like you do not put paint in trash. Everyone does though. Paint I do not care. However there is no reason to call attention to vaping and get us all banned! The government would just love a good reason. I am not being a nit pick just trying to keep us all vaping.
Manny, you are lucky you are single but I guess you make enough anyways. 5 kids and wife things are different for a lot of people. I am kind of ashamed to talk about all this because it makes other people feel bad. Nonetheless I think this is the best thread ever. I thought I was the only dick that orders $600+++ Mods every night LOL. Oh I was not calling anyone a dick I meant myself but even then was just joking. Although other people may despise our amounts of disposable income. Maybe in 50+ years of smoking/chewing I spent 20 grand. 8 years of vaping spent six figures! You do not collect tobacco though. Well, cigars I guess. Same thing as $20,000 cigar but not even as bad on Two levels. Not nearly as much money and not bad for ones health. Plus you have the Mod every day. you literally light 20 grand on fire with the cigar!
I figured it was good to get this out of the way because we are most often shipping internationally. No need to call attention to us. Fuck it, stick with toy box HAHA. Then they wonder why you bought $700+ insurance on said "toy box"! Well Sir, Madam it is a very rare toy box. Why else would I be ordering it from the Philippines! When Customs Xray's it they might guess something is In that box but interestingly Customs are the ones that do not care. I have found at least US Customs to usually be very fair and courteous at least. I have done a lot of shipping in my time, not just this. Actually more money but could avoid all this crap and enlist a Customs broker. As much as I order I am considering that. Then never ever takes 2 weeks but just an hour.
I do not mean to be a jerk with a long post regarding this but the knowledge is better for all of us I feel.

The blue one is pretty nice. I just got mine. I would say on the small side. About half the size of your Osiris it looks to be..... No matchbook though. I would say about the size of a Paranormal. A bit thicker, not as wide about same height. That is a 2x18650 Mod though. I guess they just cannot make Stabwood Mods that small? Manny, where are the screws on the bottom of your Osiris, missing?
