38 minutes ago I was a law abiding Citizen of Australia... now I am possibly a lawbreaker as I am in posession of a prohibited substance that wasnt one wellllllll......... 38 minutes ago !!!

I am putting the kettle on and getting the bikkies out .... I wonder if the feds will give us the same 14 hours warning when they raid my house as they gave us before including it on the banned list???... nevertheless it would be rude not to have a cuppa brewing when they kick the front door in

You're the first Australian criminal I have communicated with online. I feel special.

So are you actively breaking the law by vaping? Or just passively through possession?

Really, really sucks. What a stunt they pulled on you there.

Bake for me Foxy Bake bake LOL

Gabby , the jury is out on that one , I am technically breaking the law by having quantities of a class 7 poison ... however it was legal for me to buy it an hour ago. If I were to buy it now or sell it to someone, I am DEFINATELY breaking the law...the media has reported that supply , possession, of nicotine and the articles used to dispense nicotine for human consumption are illegal unless they are approved by the Therapeutic Drug Act ( which e-cigs aren't) This has not been confirmed by the Minister , and yes I have asked him , but I feel he might conveniently take a month or two to answer.

Ah Trumpy. Your posts are worth reading twice.

How well stocked are you with juice? If you have spare bottles, plenty of high nic juice and some vg around you could get done with intent to supply

This is totally crazy. I feel for you guys. Hope you get a reply soon.

ZambucaLu · 12-31-2008, 02:26 PM

I really feel for you guys too

But what are you going to do? I mean, will there be ANY WAY AT ALL to get ecig supplies through?

What if the nicotine was labeled "for use as insecticide"? It is used as one
.

GabbyD · 12-31-2008, 02:39 PM

I wonder how good customs will be at stopping the stuff from getting through? I mean, I know here in the U.S. countless people get Rx drugs from out of country, without prescriptions, and so far I only personally know of one person who had her box halted at customs.

Trumpybloke · 12-31-2008, 02:40 PM

Remains to be seen Lu , but it may well turn out the actual "law" is simply against the retail of nicotine and paraphernalia in our country .... interesting aside, on a whim I was getting some stuff from deal extreme before Xmas and i decided to get them to throw in one of their cigars just to see how it looked and performed ( not expecting much at all I add ).... its taken them 9 days to get it ready to ship... and you guessed it , its leaving china today

So I guess I might be one of the first to see what happens at customs when it arrives.... not hopeful, apparently Dodomark from Melb has had USD$9000 dollars of stock tested and seized judging by his posts

It may well be that importation without the intention to resell may be allowed.... someone I know has had that conversation with customs , and they have said a non commercial quantity is OK... but that was yesterday, when it would not have appeared on any banned for sale lists that customs have.... I think it might be a case of try and lets see... I have heard o mention of penalties but they are likely to be harsh....
