Aussie Vapors!!

[TheVapist]

Hi guys,
been lurkin here for a few weeks gleaning information from others posts. Just got my 1st e-cig today from heavens gifts. I ordered the following:

1 x JOYE 510 Starter Kit
1 x PCC
2 x 280Mah Auto Batteries
2 x Spare Atomiser
1 x Batter Charger (recharges 10 batteries)
1 x 30ml PG "Dr. Pepper" e-juice (DeKang Brand)
1 x 10ml VG "MLB" e-juice (DeKang Brand)
1 x 10ml VG "TAB" e-juice (DeKang Brand)

My order total was US$149.20 and was placed on the 07/02 and was delivered to my work in Sydney today the 16/02. Postage equated to US$22 which IMO was very reasonable.

EMS tracking reported that my package was inspected by Australian Cutsoms, which I was slightly worries about, however when It was delivered, there was no customs seal, and all of the e-juice was there and hadn't been opened

So far, I'm quite happy with the 510. Obviously there are a few things to get used to, like the subtle hint of sweetness on the lips from the PG and a slightly "scratchy" throat feel you get when inhaling/exhaling. Personally, these are things I feel I'll get used too fairly quickly.

Apologies for the rant, but I just wanted to let other know about my ordering experience, considering some Aussie vapers are concerned about actually getting their order through Customs.

Hi guys,

It's so frustrating. I've been trying to look for some better quality e-juice i.e. dont want anything made in China. However, a lot of them don't ship internationally or to Australia!

Is there anyone out there vaping on US made e-juice in Oz???

I live in Bundy and have vaped in the hospital waiting rooms, in a taxi (the taxi driver wouldn't let me go til i shared info on what where and how to get a 510 for herself ), also vaped in the Dr's surgery waiting room.
I am not shy to vape anywhere cause i love my 510 and was proud to say I am tobacco free, but now back on analogs waiting for new supplies to get here, they were posted yesterday.
I figure if people see vapers more they will ask and we will get more and more vapers here in Aussie to fight for our right to vape.

You can order American juices from the UK, Johnson Creek Smokejuice from ecigs'dot'co'dot'uk (can't post links yet).

Innovapour ULTRAPure liquid from innovapor-electronics-cigarettes(dot)com (american site I believe)

iVapour Elixir (another UK lot) etc

I have to warn you though, some of these places are, if not nearly, three times the price of buying from chinese vendors, and I'm guessing most liquids are derivatives of chinese products anyway, just specially mixed by certain places to improve flavour or create new flavours.

Eastmall and Heaven's Gifts seem to be popular chinese vendors for gear and liquid.

Here's to you Skyspider If we all take this attitude the future for e-cigs could be very bright indeed.

Good man. I lived in the Isa for most of 2008, working in the mines until ours got the bullet. Wish I was still there, love the country up there. Not to mention the rocks (geology's my game, I shouldn't mix business and pleasure).

You have several options buy unflavoured and flavour yourself, totally wicked in England is probable your best bet if you don't want Chinese Nicotine, they also sell a range of flavourings, there is a link somewhere to a place in Australia that sells loranns flavourings I don't remember who found it but I was impressed.

If you are okay with chinese nicotine liberty in the uk or flavourart are your best choices for flavourings. As well as loranns flavourings in Australia.

Me I like it all I use flavourings to change or boost some of the chinese liquid. I am trying a new to me company Bestcig in China next week they apparently make there own juice so it will be interesting to compare to Boge.

Something to keep in mind the Chinese have been doing this since about 2003 so they actually have a track record, and as far as I can see they haven't had any major dramas.

Your other option if you must buy from USA is to go to whirlpool (forums.whirlpool.net.au)
under on the net do a search for priceusa and shipit there are probable others have a read and get i sent that way.
