Customs Discussions -Outside Canada Orders/Shipping/Returns

I don't have a scanner but these are the reasons that they won't allow them into Canada. They say my package violated ...

Section(s) 9(1)
Reason: Drug likely to create an erroneous impression regardin composition or safety.

Section(s) C.08.002(1)(a)
Reason: A new drug that has not met prescribed conditions.

When I phoned the the inspector ...she was very sympathetic and told me that she believes that it will take about 3 months before Canada gets with the rest of the world. She was not happy to turn it away. She personally thinks that e-cigs are a great idea.

Green Smoke is in Aventura FL and I am from Sechelt BC. Very close to Vancouver.

My kit was labled 'Electronics' and came through no problem.
My cartridges were labled 'e-cigarette cartridge refills'

So now I am vaping an e-cigarettes canada mini but the cartridges and e-liquid tastes terrible. I really miss my tasty Green Smokes. Is there anything we can buy here that tastes good?

Hi Puff Puff

Thanks for the links. I am going to try some JC juice because we can get it here in Canada and I don't think I have found any other Canadian suppliers yet, in the forums, where people are raving about the wonderful flavours.

The starter kit cost $139 and included 2 batteries, 5 cartridges, USB charger and the wall plug in. I joined as an affiliate and I got a 10% discount and a 10% commission from my own sale. I am not sure if I can put my link in here if you want to check it out but it is just the name in the title, followed by /cigs

hehehe....i signed up too back at the start of my PV researching. Call it an "impulse" thing...Now that I am a little wiser, I dont think I will advocate my affiliation. Actually...I should find out how to cancel it.

But on to better things....If you want flavors, just DIY some flavors. Its fun and rewarding.

EDIT**** If you want to learn alot about vaping, there is plenty to be learned in the New Members forum.

Well Jazz's experience proves it all comes down to labelling. It is to bad you lost out of the carts. Did they return to sender so you can get a refund? I also have Electronic Cigarettes - E-Cigarettes - Quit Smoking Aids - E-Cigs - E-Liquid - Atomizers - E-Smoking - ECigarettes - ECigs product and the Menthol juice is good, but carts suck, but their penstyle is great, it is a KR model. My 801 from Tim at vapesmart came today, I ordered Saturday and it is here today (I live in the same city), so I will soon find which is better or if there is a difference from DSE and KR models. The best news is my stuff from eastmall is at the post office , I'll soon know if the liquid is safe and sound or not, as well as the way it was labelled. This order was shipped from China April 19, hit Vancouver Apr 21, went to customs Apr 22 and was released from customs Apr 25, now Apr 28 it is in Toronto Ontario. Can't wait to get home from work and try all my goodies!!!!!

I highly recommend you get in touch with electronic-cigz.com - Premium E-Cigarettes, Cartridges and Supplies . He's in Guelph (Southern Ontario) and carries the Johnson Creek line of juice. There are no customs issues to worry about and he knows what customer service is !!!

I will get a return

What a great forum. Thanks for all your help I guess I am about to get an education here.

I've had 2 orders from vapor4life and one from ruyandirect come right through in the past 2 weeks, no issues.

I think what may be key is asking the vendor to list the items as "vaporizer" or something harmless-sounding, so customs doesn't get all suspicious and start opening stuff. Small orders make it through easier too, I asked Steve at vapor4life to list my total purchase (about $80) on the customs form at a value less than $40 and he did, and it came right through, twice! Same with ruyandirect, same with electronicstix, that one is still on it's way, so we shall see. Got another ruyandirect order in the pipe as well.

my 510 came in today from electronicstix.com, no delays, no hold at customs, 4 days from Utah to Ontario. Seems kinda random to me the way customs is seizing things.
