Australian ban; Egar illegal - Page 35 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Um perhaps I'm missing something, but if the ban is on "battery powered cigarettes," then wouldn't it still be legal to buy e-cigs with USB passthroughs? Or simply e-cigs that have been labeled as a "personal vaporizer" and not an "electronic-cigarette"?

The ban is on nicotine.

the ban is Australia is on the -
vapourising liquid containing nicotine
cartridges containing nicotine
e-cigs if they contain nicotine
e-cig parts if they contain nicotine

so as cucurucho said.....
the ban is on the nicotine
and anything that contains it.

if the liquid, cigs and or parts
have no nic,
no problem.
