hey guys im new to this ecig thingy and I just ordered my first kit from healthcabin, but I did not include a e-juice for it because I am afraid that custom might halt my order. Anyone of you currently living here in Japan buying ejuice from overseas? or is there any online stores here in Japan that sells ejuice or much better ecig stuffs? thanks

You are allowed to order a One Month Supply,
i think 250-300ml is okay for sure but i also ordered a few Times much more,
it was always opened by the Japanese Custom but never stopped!

In all my Years here i had only one Time a small Problem
but even that lead to a one day delay only!

I ordered via a Supplier in China.

you can also try the fast tech site for ridiculously cheap prices on all vape stuff. the site is sometimes a little tireing to get through, just by the way they catagorized everything, but the prices are tough to beat. not sure about thier Liqua juices though, never tried them. i bought some of the dekang and hangsen juices directly from china. mostly base flavors, then i mix them for my own creations.

whats the maximum quantity of your orders overseas?
coz I ordered a ego c twist kit plus some liquids and its taking too long to arrive, on EMS says "Dispatch from outward office" and its been a week on that ems update! Im worried that its being held on custom because of the ejuice

It means it's still en route. When it arrives at Narita, it will say; arrived at inward office of exchange.

you dont adjust the resistance. the resistance is set by the coil. type of wire,thickness number of turns etc... the vamo has VV and VW, not sure on the vmax. im just not a fan of anything that looks like a dildo, so i went with the MVP(VV, not VW) but it does not have a res check function like the vamo does, but i already have a meter, so its no biggie. FWIW, i just got the kamry K200VV/VW and a K100 mech and couldnt be happier. the befefit of VW is, you set the watts you want to use, and forget it basically. VV is more of a fiddle type of deal where you adjust the voltage to the proper setting based on the coil...

rule of thumb is add 2 volts to whatever res carto you have. so a 1.7 ohm carto would use 3.7-4.0 ohms

to figure out what wattage you are vaping at, here is how you figure it out:
V x V/res = wattage

so, 3.7x3.7= 13.69
13.69/1/7 = 8.05 this would be the wattage you are vaping at, so on a VW unit, you could set it at 8 watts, then leave it. no matter what res carto you use, it will automatically set itself to 8 watts or whatever wattage you want.

thanks kuritaro! i just got the k101 too and it was so nice specially with the trident mod rda!! also got the vamo v3 too, that k200 looks good but the reason I wanted the vamo is because I can make it smaller/shorter using the 18350 batt. I did introduce my friends to vaping too and they like it! 4 of them already ask me to order for them :p

edited for the equation part. had ohms where it should have been volts, and the edit function wast working.

you can use this to plug in ur voltage and res to show what wattage you are currently at.
