Seems to be a lot of posts regarding importing hardware into Canada right now. I guess the bottom line is that we are taking our chances with ecigs and parts now, just like before with ejuice.
So if we try to import ecigs and are honest with customs about our package containing electronic cigarettes we are very likely to lose them.
I would like to know what ideas people have for describing the contens so as not to draw attention to the fact that the package contains ecigs. Obviously if we are unlucky and the order is opened we probably lose it regardeless of the description because
it contains ecigs right? Any imput would be appreciated

the latest juice i had sent from the US was labelled "aroma therapy sample" lols

Technically, that isn't even stretching the truth. Aroma therapy oils and equipment. Pretty much sums it up. As long as the packaging doesn't elude to it actually being something else in case it gets opened.

Ordering through vendors here in Canada will eliminate your worries. Just a way to forget about the ppl at customs. Maybe if we all order from Canadian vendors, the customs ppl will be cut back and more holes will appear. Then again who needs more unemployment.:(

I agree, but i need my Eckto Plasma damnit! lol Sooooo many juices so little money

nicotine or ejuice can be described as vegetable glycerin if it contains vg (Thats what I ask the vendor to do), but ejuice description were not what I am concerned about. I am more interested in ideas on how we can label electronic cigarettes. thanks for the reply though.

Since propylene glycol mist is an effective anti-microbial we could call it an electronic disinfectant.

The best thing we can do is not to discuss it on an open forum.

ummm, where do you think we should discuss it, NS is a bit far for a lot of us. Paranoia is a good thing sometimes, but not when it inhibits the ability for discussion. Possibly those who feel uncomfortable with this subject should just move on to less scary topics.
