So how does it work once it gets to your customs if they decide it can't go through? How do they let you know that? What a freakin' hassle!

Customs do not open every envelope. DX never states what precisely it there in the envelope. You should receive the cigar OK. And it is rather nice. I have one. Very smooth. Unfortunately, I selected the one with manual switch which is bothersome to use. Hope you have the fully automatic one.

Gabby , our customs are pretty good at finding the nasty stuff LOL... however they have also been ok on letting " minor infringements " slip... not so this I fear as it now falls into the schedule 7 category of being a Dangerous poison ( mental note I wonder what a safe poison is ??? )

Coffee... I actually considered your question as the law states specifically " For human consumption".... the drawback with this , is if they can prove you knew it was, and it was labelled otherwise when intercepted ... you are in about 70 gazillion more tons of poo !!!! concealing a shipment is akin to drug running

Seems to me the hard part would be laying your hands on the nicotine liquid. Beyond that you could do your own mod and somebody could slip you an atomizer here and there.

Lu they send you a delightful note which tells you you have been naughty and you may choose to have them destroy it for you :-/

Frankie You are right they dont open every package... but they pretty much fluoroscope ( organic x-ray ) the vast majority which pass their way

In the inclusion of nicotine as a regulated section 7 drug it puts nic in the same ballpark as arsenic,strychnine, metallic cyanides and various other nasties.... its not like importing a mexican viagra lol ... they can all be used in small amounts to kill people in nasty ways :-(

Gabby,

I was thinking the same thing....if you could kind of "piece-meal" things through. But true, the juice would be a problem.

Deception won't work. It will only make worse trouble. You've got your head on straight, Trumpy. Your letter was very good and I hope you keep us posted on any reply you get.

At least you're not wasting brain power on how you can thwart the intent of the new law. You need to work within it, if that's at all possible. And we all need to find a way to extract and measure nicotine we can get from loose tobacco. A Gold Medal goes to anyone who finds a way that doesn't require a Dow Chemical laboratory.

I bet if you were quick about it you could order 100ml or so of juice right now and actually receive it. If they ask questions then claim ignorance (the law just went through like yesterday!)

I accept your challenge sir, though it will have to wait till after work today :P

[Trumpybloke]

Thanks Bob !
Yep deception will only hurt the legitimate arguments that I hope are coming for the future of e-cigs... one thing I dont really want to see happening is the hey its happened to them it might happen to us mentality I think governments rely on this to isolate communities and steamroller them... this will become a GLOBAL problem I think , but yes it will happen piece by piece... I'd rather see people now coalesce and think about what they can do worldwide to ensure the future of vaping .... its simply numbers ... each country realistically only has a very small percentage of vapers, and has been ably demonstrated here , they will wreck businesses with 14 hours notice,make their own citizens outlaws with the same amount of notice --- NOW is the time for suppliers, consumers, distributors,retailers and customers to band together worldwide to perhaps lobby the manufacturers or our juices and equipment to get behind us , as we have them , and start putting into practice compliances and certification in the countries they sell to , to ensure the survival of their business and products, and to actually prove what we are doing can be done resposibly and safely and actually demonstrate that our choices are a valid and vastly improved avenue when compared to the tobacco industry???
