Buy American you hypocrite.

I would if there were equivalent items produced in America. This is the same thing I've been waiting on when you said that last time.

What is it? I'll make you one.

Lithium vape pens w/ 510 connectors, and high altitude tea.

You'd think that last one would be easy, since tea is grown domestically. I actually have some promising leads just today. There's essentially two problems I'm running into, the tea grown domestically is often grown at low elevations, that just doesn't produce the kind of tea I'm looking for, and they don't have the vast selection of varietals that China does -- or usually any selection really.

You order American tea and it's just the tea, often differentiated not by varietals but by blends with tisanes and sometimes a choice of the amount of processing (white, green, oolong, black, puerh). They very rarely show the liqueur or mention a flavor profile.

Tea snobbery aside, it's not just the taste why I want these teas, they have a pronounced effect on my blood pressure. Not every tea does.

Say no more my friend. I will get to work on the lipton dopped with blood pressure drugs immediately. My brother used to be into vaping, I'm sure I can get one of his custom built vapes and have you looking like Thomas the tank engine in no time.

That sounds truly awful.

Those rigs burn out the vape cartridges, I tried it. This is the kind of thing they need: https://saidit.net/s/pics/comments/9g0f/innards_of_an_egot_vape_pen/ the problem is that lithium battery isn't made anywhere here and the microchip might be hard to source. Machining the aluminum shouldn't be a problem locally. The US still has machine shops thank god.
