So the time has come. Don at BWB has decided to stop shipping to canada because of a high number of seizures. I had my package seized in dec. and He kindly sent it back and it made it through in 6 days. I guess a number of packages have been seized as e cigarettes are being more pupular. It is too bad as some of his juices were my favourites. I wish we had some kind of notice because I would have put a big order in. I will make sure to savour what I have left. We need to put pressure on health canada to clairfy the law on e cigs.

Max.

Oh I know, their CS was never the greatest, just I kept coming back for their honey flue and cannot seem to DIY a suitable replacement. I love Juggys, but stopped ordering when he closed down for a bit last year. Now I am overwhellemed because he has 600+ flavours. If anyone could recomend some good tobacco flavours from him. And I guess what I mean by "good" is natual tasting or u know when u open up a fresh pack of cigs, that rasain like smell that you get. I like that type of flvour not the "dessert ship" Malboro clones. I hate the perfumeyness and the chemical edge on those flavours. I love their RY4. Don's juices(BWB) were the ones that actually got me to chuck analogs, now I have been a dual smoker/vaper for a couple years again. I started in 2009, went smoke free in 2010 until late 2011. Now I have gone through phases(like the moon) lol. Currently I am down to a pack every 10 days or so. 2 a day. upto 4 or 5 if I am outside alot. MY fam doesn't support vaping though. I can talk myself blue, but they still say u are vaping chemicals and how do u know what is really in there? Then I say DIY, then they say how do u know what is in the flavourings u use, and it just goes on and on. It is frstrating.


But I guess Canada has gotten alot better, there were a few new guys I noticed that I wanted to try. I forget the brand. But Goblins Pipe was one of them. I just have spent thousands in the past 5 years. I wish I had just got a mech and some 28 gauge kanthal to start. But hey there were no rebuuldables then, and when they did come they were 200$. The A1 bulli and such. or 100$.


Anyways, Thanks for the replies. It is interesting to note that they just opened up shipping to the U.K though. lol. I might get my cousin to order and then ship it through.

Max.

Very disappointed to find out about this. I have been vaping BWBs applewood exclusively for a couple years now since every other juice I've tried has been a miss for me and a waste of money. I'm ok with buyer beware, never had anything seized in the past.

About jughead, does he have an applewood? Does it compare?

See The thing with MLV is I tried it during the postal strike back in 2011 I think it was. He had great service, delivered to right to my door. I just found the taste to be like anything else I could DIY myself. I think he has probably mastered DIYing by now. He must have with all of the great reviews. I also kick myself in the ... because, I planned on doing the same thing, at the same time as him and didnt. I still think I should and I never do. The thing is the only thing I DIY that I think is spectacular is cigar vapes. I can make some good fruity flavours too but I think if I had a entra grand of two kicking around, I could really come up with a good brand, and some really good juices. Custom Glass Bottles. or at least unique glass bottles. There was one company I was looking at that had these funky 25ml blue glass bottles and that in itself almost made me order. They acted canadian but then I saw that they actually shipped from the states and thought, why get hooked on american juice again in order to just be let down. If anyone on ecf is a doctor, I would love to see you write a prescription for nicotine liquid to be used topically and then fight health canada with that. Any takers? My doctor just kinda laughed and then told me some medical ......... company had recently asked him to be a leading doctor writing scripts and were offering a quarter million retainer/fee what ever you want to call it. This customs ishnit sucks. But I talked to Don, and he is working some things out. Looks like larger orders will have to be broken down into smaller shipments meaning higher shipping. I don't mind If I can order 6 30ml bottles and pay 15$ shipping, it is not much diff then here and his juice is well. Those who are in the know know.

UPDATE: I contacted Don and volunteered as a guinea pig for his testing and he made some modifications to my account so I could place an order. I ordered 6 30ml bottles as I usually do, the shipping was 9$ first class. With the order costing 99$ and the ECF 10% discount removing 9.90$, that pays for the shipping.

I'll keep you guys updated or you can track it here: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input?origTrackNum=LZ640561328US

Just in case someone doesn't know the discount code: ECF10
