If that’s the case I’d gladly pay it.It seems like it’s a flat rate of $25 per parcel atm.

The reality for me is that I have to stomach the idea this is possibly a $500-600 device all in. No idea how long this tariff nonsense will continue and if it manages to keep in place semi long term it's going to be a similar cost to the main release with the aluminum heat shield.
I hope it works out in a more reasonable way but @Brenyo I want the device enough I hope you give stateside purchasers the option to move forward before you process refunds![]()
What if they’re all for personal use? I’ll take a hit with each one then ship it It’s genius.i am no lawyer, but i am sure thats legally possible. BUT you would also have to legally pay all the tariffs once you get back to the US with a backpack full of tempests and if i understand that fact sheet right, that someone else linked earlier, you would have to pay even more:
Yeah I also hope they give us the option to move forward, I wouldn’t want to miss out on this even if there’s an additional costThe reality for me is that I have to stomach the idea this is possibly a $500-600 device all in.

Edit: Executive Order dated April 9 confirms this, unless there's been a more recent updateA $10 T-Shirt Could Become a $24.50 T-Shirt as a Key Tariff Loophole Closes
Starting Friday, goods from China worth up to $800 will be subject to tariffs and more paperwork under new Trump administration rules.
The import charges can differ depending on how the goods are shipped. If they come on an express carrier like DHL or FedEx, the goods will be subject to tariffs as high as 145 percent, or $14.50 on a $10 T-shirt.
Shipments coming in through the Postal Service will face a tariff equivalent to 120 percent of the value of the goods, starting Friday, or a fee of $100 per package. The fee increases to $200 in June.
This video is a great look at how tariffs import businesses, and how its very hard/almost impossible to move production to the USA. This might be about pc manufacturers, but this applies to businesses across the board:The NYT reported the following today in an article about Shein, Temu, and de minimis that was last updated a half hour ago:

Totally agree. See my last post. Its borderline hijacking the thread and the excitement. And great point, MH is not the only company facing this issue in the dhv community.This isn't an attempt to police the thread. But I would sincerely find a seperate thread on the tariff issue to be helpful and interesting. It's something that is clearly going to affect our hobby, and the small creators within it.
Man.. I am SO pumped for this vape, but don't know if I can justify more than $100 extra for any tariff BS. Really hope it stays $25 per parcel!!
The worst part is not knowing for another month+.. If it's not coming, then I'd purchase a Simrell or Tornado instead, as soon as they're available. Whereas if the Tempest 2 does come thru, then I don't want any other devices.. But would REALLY hate to miss out on the next restock of Simrell/Tornado, only to be screwed by tariffs and not get Tempest either. Beyond frustrating.
At least I can proudly say I was NOT one of the Americans who voted for this mess!
There’s already one that’s pretty active:Totally agree. See my last post. Its borderline hijacking the thread and the excitement. And great point, MH is not the only company facing this issue in the dhv community.
Mods, can we make a thread for US tariff concerns? This will be a long road and starting it now would be great.
It makes sense to include Tarrif discussion there as well I think. Seeing as it's not going to get simpler anytime soon.also a thread dedicated to MadHeaters shipping:

good luck to all that might be affected by the tariffs.
I think one of the problems is that we don't even definitively know what the tariff will actually be to get it into the hands of US buyers. I'm sure @Brenyo has taken notice that many here in FC are willing to pay the tariff, but also consider we're in a forum specifically for fans of DHV, and even more specifically, the Tempest thread. That likely skews our perspective on how many people are actually willing to pay the potentially large tariff that may be added to the cost to get the T2 in our hands.I apologize for continuing the tariff topic, but I would just like to add to the voices asking @Brenyo to please consider allowing US customers to pre-pay any tariff costs as necessary.
I’m not set up to be able to accept pre-payments, so the tariff would need to be paid at customs.I apologize for continuing the tariff topic, but I would just like to add to the voices asking @Brenyo to please consider allowing US customers to pre-pay any tariff costs as necessary.
