i replied in your other thread purrin

Edit: Ok it's not letting me post there.

to answer your questions:

All cartridges are 'disposable' they are simply pieces of moulded plastic. The filling is polyester filling material. You may need to replace this filling occasionally but the cartridge should theoretically last forever unless you break it somehow. Buy polyfill from anywhere that sells it. Be careful not to buy treated "flame retardant" polyfill.

I have bought any yet but I've heard the polyfill sold for aquariums is perfect in that it's untreated (due to use in aquariums)

E-juice usually comes in a dripper bottle of some kind. Just remove your cartridge and dribble a few drops into the polyfill material until it looks pretty soaked. Don't overfill or you'll get a mouthful of juice. I usually put one drop too many in myself.

Just get some paper towel and dab it on the surface until it soaks up the excess.

Plug it in, and vape away.

Every few top ups, I'll remove the polyester wadding, shake it around in a bowl of warm water and dab it dry with a paper towel. Stick it back in the cartridge and fill with juice from your dripper bottle. Plug in. Vape.

I havent seen a single post on these forums of anyone having their orders seized by customs. If it does get seized I highly doubt anything would happen to you. It's not like you're importing heroin.

Eastmall.net has a nice variety of flavours and delivered to me in Perth in 6 days.

Lucky! My stuff is still sitting in GUANGZHOU according to the tracking info. Hopefully being so close to the Sydney airport will help with the local transit time. Looking like a Monday delivery for you and a Tuesday for me.
