Caution when vaping in Saudi Arabia!

Great story! Scary at the time, I'm sure, but great story now that you're back.

Hey, I bet there'd be no problem at all vaping in China! :-) I just got back from there in the middle of June but next time I go back I'll vape everywhere (and pick up some gear in Shenzhen)!

them fools went back to the cop shop, ordered up a 510 and are vaping your Eastmall as we speak, LOL.

All joking aside, your lucky they let you keep the E-cig.

Well just think it could have turned realy ugly very fast. Glad to hear all went well for you and that your back in germay vaping away.

Chad: you might want to do some checking because I have heard that , in China, the e-cigs are not allowed in certain parts. I'm not 100% on that but it had something to do with their tax on annalogs and them loosing money so they outlawed the use of e-cigs in certain parts. Like I said I might be wrong on that but you might want to check it out.

Scary story. It is only a matter of time before the e-cig picks up there IMO. We actually just had our first Saudi Arabian customer last week. Interestingly enough, outside of the US, the largest amount of traffic we have gotten on our site is from Saudi Arabia.

Well, unfortunatelly theres a lot of logistics as to why I was there in the first place, which doesnt make for a good situation.

From what I know... ecigs are not illegal per se in Saudi, but like I said before... When in situations like that, its easier to surrender whatever they are asking for. They coulda had my JS for all I cared! I just wanted out!

I'll be a little more careful in questionable countries the next time!

As for China, I vaped openly in Guangzhou with no problems, however this was before they began their bans I believe.

It's interesting that e-cigs are not legal, but the hookahs on the side walk are popular. When I was there with the Air Force we were forbidden from trying the hookahs. The stuff they smoke seems like some kind of nasty fruit paste, we called it hubbly bubbly. We had a Captain that tried it anyway and he said it was like sucking on a diesel exhaust pipe and it gave him a terrible head ache (maybe carbon monoxide from the piece of charcoal they use to keep it burning). I always wondered what was in that stuff, I saw it in cans in the market area, the cans were corroded around the lids, the stuff looked downright evil. E-cigs are surely safer than that stuff.

Well, ya got more guts than I do, RIA. When I leave the country, I vape in front of no one.

Ah, JD ya wimp!
In the last 10 months I've vaped in public in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Israel, Austria, Germany, Sweden and Denmark!
Just need to be careful in certain countries.

Glad you're okay. Sure would have hated to see a fellow vapor on an episode of 'Locked Up Abroad'.....

Good thing you're not a woman too! They might have stoned you to death. (or is that in Iran?) They're about 1000 years behind the rest of the world in their treatment of females from all I hear?
