If that’s the case I’d gladly pay it.

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

I honestly am probably willing to pay that much for it too. In general I'm an extremely frugal person and I probably invest too much anyway. Every once in a while I should enjoy a bit of my money otherwise what's even the point of saving it up? Considering that I'm a tit whisker away from quitting combustion all together, I don't even feel bad about paying that much because it's probably improve my health a little

What if they’re all for personal use? I’ll take a hit with each one then ship it It’s genius.
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.

Wouldn’t consider paying a penny in tariffs for any vape company other than mad heaters. I’ll probably have to pass because I’m broke as a joke. Not to get political but it’s a shame they are trying to abolish the department of education because some folks here clearly need it

It may not just be the tariff's themselves that cause problems with shipping to the US. For example, in the UK UPS announced it was not going to be sending any more US deliveries above the de minimis limit due to the confusion with just trying to work out the paper work and payments with everything changing so fast.
e.g. UPS have just announced they will now be shipping again, but it required a sit-down with the Whitehouse to work a deal. How this will be in a months time, who the hell can say? Hopefully though the shippers involved will have sorted something out by then as US businesses as well as consumers will be suffering badly for it and that seems to be something gets a response with u-turns etc.

The NYT reported the following today in an article about Shein, Temu, and de minimis that was last updated a half hour ago:
Edit: Executive Order dated April 9 confirms this, unless there's been a more recent update

This tariff stuff is really sad.
The good part of me hopes it is resolved before the preorders are shipped and everyone gets what they want with minimal fuss.
The evil part of me is hoping the tariffs continue, so that some of the preorders become available again!
Given that we are what we eat, or think, or vape, or something; instead of letting the evil thoughts win, I’d like to officially register my desire for one titanium heat shield.
So if you’re reading this in 2026 and your titanium heat shield is sitting unused… let me know, I have money and love for you.

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!

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:
From what is being said, i think Brenyo got our point. I doubt he will just refund without an opportunity for some to move forward. This may be a null point, the tariffs change or pause almost weekly. Very good chance we will get our v2 without issue.
Let’s go back to our excitement if possible. I know it’s hard to, with a chance of things not going as expected. But also would hate to turn this thread into most of us stressing only. It’s something we can’t control but Madheaters has the best customer service in dhv industry. Really doubt they will let tariffs tarnish that without another plan in place.

[Is this off topic, or is it not? It's certainly relevant.

Tariff's are a terrible policy that do nothing for anyone except the most wealthy and powerful. The U.S. plumped for income tax over tariff's just over a century ago to finance government and redistribute wealth toward the majority of American's instead of the wildly unfair distribution back then, thanks to the robber barons of that time. We are seeing the return of policies to promote those peoples already great fortunes at the expense of everyone else whom has less.
Yer kidding, no? This stuff changes daily it seems!

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.

Shoot man $100 sounds low at this point if 145% is the number everyone is throwing around in the news
What a mess Tangerine Palpatine is creating. @Brenyo if it matters at all, I think most USA customers will be willing to pay an additional $25-50 for the Empires new import fees.
Hoping for a smooth process for you. Cant wait to get my unit. Much love from The Mitten of the third world country we use to call The United States.

No thoughts, head empty
There’s already one that’s pretty active:
Tariffs? Buy stuff now?
If Trump does what he said he was going to do, and implements significant tariffs on goods imported from China into the US, glass I’ve been eyeing on dhgate might become more expensive. I’m seriously considering buying sooner rather than later.

Edit: also this one, but refers to the most recent batch of tariffs by the mango’s preferred name for them:
Liberation day - US Vapes
A question for those not in the US. Liberation day is upon us, and tariffs have been applied around the world. Do you feel any different about buying US Vapes? Will it make you think twice about buying a US vape? Will you be hit with increased prices due to reciprocal tariffs? Or will all of...

It makes sense to include Tarrif discussion there as well I think. Seeing as it's not going to get simpler anytime soon.
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.
As someone who tried so hard to convince people to support the other political option, things like the release of the Tempest 2 are a ray of light in a dark and depressing time. It sounds a bit much, I know, but eh...
I will gladly cover any costs, and I'd even be happy to pay a fee for the service of estimating the tariff and allowing me to pay it.
Apologies again to all, I know this discussion must be annoying to those less directly affected.

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.
Regardless, expect this tariff bullshit to be a stickier mess than what the inside of my T2 will be after having it for a week.
I’m not set up to be able to accept pre-payments, so the tariff would need to be paid at customs.
I won’t cancel anyone’s order without prior notice. I currently plan to wait until next weekend to see if there’s any change or more clarity, then send out a newsletter with some options. DPD told me there’s no flat-rate tariff (??), and it’s approximately 152.5% overall.
If all goes well, I can start fulfilling a few orders on the UK site over the next week (non-US orders only). The EU store situation is a bit unclear and depends on customs, I expect shipping to start around the middle of the month. If there’s a change in the next few days, US orders will start shipping as well. All US orders could arrive before the end of this month if there is indeed a flat-rate tariff and it increases further from June.
