Hey everyone! First off, I wanted to say thank you for welcoming me into your community!
Normally, this is the part of a person's first post where they talk about themselves and why they're here. Well, I would do that, but I'm actually not here for myself. I'm an on-and-off smoker, and since I'm 19, the occasional cigarette I do have doesn't bother my conceptions about my own health. vaping looks awesome, but for me, it'd probably end up getting me hooked on nicotine, rather than mitigating cigarette damage.
However, I have a friend who is at least a pack a day smoker (two packs if he has the money for it). He's been smoking like this for the past 4 or 5 years, and to be fair, he's completely aware of everything that he should be, he just chooses to smoke because he enjoys it.
We recently had a discussion about e-cigarettes, and since he unfortunately lives in Canada (I only go to university there), we had heard about the no-nicotine ban for the liquids (thanks Health Canada). Our conversation ended abruptly once that fact came to light, but I had a sneaking suspicion that he would be open to the idea were he able to use a nicotine containing liquid.
Anyway, the reason why I'm here is because this friend's birthday is in a few months, and I would love to get this for him as an option, even if he were to never use it. Why? At the very least, I feel like putting him in a position where his mind will be actively considering it, because, well... he'll have his own unit and kit set up and sitting somewhere in his apartment.
From what I've heard from being a guest on this site, and my own research, I don't think I could buy it here in the US and bring both the unit and the nicotine liquids on a plane. However, I may be wrong. If that would work, and someone can confirm that, I'll probably go that route. If not, I've started learning of places in Canada that can sell the liquids, and I was wondering if someone could PM that info, or help me find it on my own (I can't seem to post anywhere on this site besides this section).
Also, if anyone could recommend either a specific model, or a complete kit, that I could either order in Canada, or one that I could successfully order here and bring with me on a plane, I would really appreciate it. I'm new to the field, and while I've read a lot and understand a lot so far, I'm not as well versed in nicotine based vaporization as with other kinds (where I get a good amount of my info from)
