If you use the United States Postal System to ship Lithium-Ion batteries overseas, there is bad news. As of May 16th, the USPS will no longer ship devices containing Lithium-Ion batteries to international addresses. Unfortunately, this ban also includes Li-Ion batteries being shipped separately (Lithium-ion batteries, cells, and the devices that contain them will still be able to be shipped domestically).The good news for our international vaping friends ordering Li-Ion batteries from the states is that there are many other shipping options available for vendors to get the job done. The USPS anticipates that international standards to mail Li-ion batteries that are properly installed within electronic devices will be able to be shipped by Jan. 1, 2013. There is no mention of whether such international standards could also lead to a relaxation of the ban on batteries being shipped separately. Bummer! Hopefully, when standards are established, overseas vapers will once again be able to stock up on their favorite Li-Ion batteries from trusted US based vendors.

This past Saturday, I was a part of a 15 person bachelor party that attended a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles. There were 5 vapers in the group, myself included. For the mathematically challenged, that’s one third of the whole bachelor party….not too shabby! Upon taking our seats, one row behind the orioles dugout, all 5 of us began vaping. Two gentlemen had silver bullets, two had egos, and I was tooting on a Reo mini. Within five minutes, an official looking Orioles employee (secret service style earpiece and all) approached and demanded that we “stop smoking, or we would be ejected from the ballpark.” Instinctively, and without hesitation, I responded, “No one in our group is smoking Sir. We are using electronic cigarettes that produce absolutely no smoke whatsoever.” His reply took me a little by surprise. He said, “oh…my apologies gentlemen. I received a complaint that someone was smoking, and obviously that’s not the case. We have no problem with e-cigarette use. Enjoy the game.” Wow! Not at all what I expected, especially when recalling the “confrontation” one of the VaporCast boys (my apologies for not remembering who) had last year with an employee at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park concerning e-cig use at that stadium. By the 3rd inning our section was buzzing with electronic cigarette chit chat. By the end of the game, I had given away 4 disposables, which I always carry in my man purse. [Insert man purse joke here.] One of the disposables went to our usher, who was in all his vaping glory! Needless to say, we had a blast! Kudos to the Baltimore Orioles for their acceptance of e-cig use at their ballpark. I sincerely hope that other baseball organizations will follow their lead, and become more e-cig friendly in the future as the vaping community continues to grow. Vaping and baseball…it doesn’t get any better than that! And of course….Go O’s! ***Disclaimer: It is always prudent to research an organizations e-cig policy before vaping in their establishment. I have been unable to find any “official” statement from the Baltimore Orioles about e-cig use at Camden Yards. I can only report my own personal experience. Vape at your own risk!****
