It seems HongKong post wants to show everyone they really care about the postal system and has been stopping packages with batteries. This is causing a delay in a lot of packages coming from China. MANY vapors need replacement batteries NOW!
This ONLY applies to batteries (unknown if egos are effected). All other ecig related items will ship just fine. I also believe this is a temporary crackdown - its been in place since January and only now being enforced.
This may have a serious effect on battery supplies here in the USA in the short term.
I have put together a quick list of battery deals for the most popular sizes and where to buy them within the USA.

This is the best deal I could find on Panasonic CGR18650CH batteries.
These are nipple tops - which are always more expensive. Here at a great price!
