Thanks, I've got my vaping stuff pretty squared away. Just got an email this morning from UPS. They grabbed my flavourings from ecigexpress, and have them in quarantine. Snarf! Now they want an origin/ composition of ingredients/ end use declaration from them, and I get to pay extra for quarantine processing. Wasn't even any Nic in there.

I think it's a mental addiction to the hand to mouth activity for lots of smokers. They don't fare well by quitting with nicotine gum or other quit methods, but vaping seems to keep the hands busy while providing an inhale and exhale activity. It's not the nic as much as it is the "hobby" aspect of vaping that satisfies. You still get to do all the things you did while smoking, but without the dangerous chemicals in the cigarette smoke.

Finding a juice that provides a suitable mouth feel and flavor is the crucial step once a smoker starts to vape.

XACTLY RIGHT!!!

That's another situation where government doesn't understand. You'd think that they'd grab a cigarette shipment and require the user to prove it's safe! At least they'd be doing something to protect the health of a smoker. Why mess with ejuice flavorings?

Just guessing but the order was from Ecigexpress? Maybe their name was on the outside of package and caused it to get pulled?

Maybe they thought there was hardware inside that they could confiscate, lose it in the system, and take it home to use themselves. Everybody likes free stuff!

When you deal with the government, intelligence and common sense are absent.

I don't know if I know Debbie, FULL STOP, yes I do, cyclone Debbie,as opposed to Deb? I just realised I have been thinking of you as flaming tutu, mentally, as opposed to Flamingo tutu. Just now, your avatar came into my mental registry. Oldtimers brain fritz.

My daughters family nickname is II (2). I have many variations to go with that. Tootie, Rootytoot. You get the idea. I'll have to remember Flaming Tutu! That's a good one!

@Vape? I have to confess that I too always think of Flamingo tutu as Flaming tutu.

Er... ah... umm... FLASHBACK <at bottom>

I thought so, but you can buy e liquid flavourings here, even the same brands. But I couldn't find the variety all in one place. Once customs quarantines, verbal isn't useful, they want everything documented. Then every document you send them, they charge 30$ A pop.

 

[garyoa1]

Telling them what's in the flavors is practically impossible. If we knew that we could mix our own!
But wut you use if for?
(Insert, tired, weepy, sad, distraught voice here)
Oh... but it's for the children. For cookies and cakes. It's been so long I'm afraid they've forgotten what goodies taste like. The sadness in their teary eyes just cuts like a knife. I suppose I'll just have to tell them it's illegal to have treats anymore. (insert series of sobs here)

OK, da hell wid my cursing, what da phuque?!?!? <Sorry, got caught...>

Vape?, what if I sent ya sum cookie/cookin'/soap/hand lotion/aerosol/tea flavs? Hell, might even be able to source sum beaver .... gland extract (AKA raspberry/strawberry/vanilla... seriously...).

<sigh...>

DO send that last, label it prominently NICOTINE and hope they open it?

 

[DaveP]

I mixed up 200ml of unflavored this afternoon, along with 300ml of various tobacco flavors. That ought to last me a couple of months. I still have several hundred milliliters in partial bottles in the closet. You can never have enough juice or enough flavors (that you like)!

Nope, no hardware. Flavours, small beakers and blunt tip syringes.

Aah, got email from EcigExpress express, says they are working with Ups to get it released.

That's funny....Raspberry and strawberry are IMO the worst flavors in any juice. Yaeliq would give a free 100ml bottle on your birthday if you told them when you ordered. What flavor do you think I got....frikken raspberry, it was no birthday gift as far as I was concerned, opened up the bottle took a sniff and YUK. It sat for probably well over a year before I gave it away. Blueberry is another beaver .... secretion.
