Where do canada companies that make ejuices get their nicotine sources from then?

Rather than confiscate the eliquid in question (with nicotine), just charge a little surplus to the buyer and move the item along.

They get it from the US of course. I really don't think there's any business in Canada producing nicotine liquid.

Of course HC wants to confiscate nicotine, they're doing everything they can to stop it, there's no tax on ecigs like on analogs :)

A 1 liter nicotine bottle at 100mg contains 100mg per ml. It's not 100mg for the whole bottle :)

This is correct. Doesn't matter if you buy a 10ml bottle, 30ml bottle or 1 litre bottle of 100mg base. Each ml contains 100mg.

Conversely, if you buy a 30ml bottle of e-juice at 18mg strength, that's 18mg per ml. Not for the entire bottle.

Ok, so let's say we have 24mg strength (strong) in a 5ml tank. That's 120mg (24mg X 5ml = 120) so to exceed the 4mg per dose limit and make it applicable to Health Canada regulations we have to vape the entire 5 ml tank in less than 30 puffs (120 / 4). Might be possible with a 30,000 watt mod :) Nobody (and seriously I mean nobody) can vape 5ml in less than 30 doses.
 
I probably vape between 8-14ml a day at 24mg. Only time I have been nic sick is I am trying to figure out a problem with my attys and they are leaking. I don't drip. I use an IStick. If using my nautilus can be up to 20ml so don't use that too often. keep in mind I was a 45 year 2pack a day indian reserve (cough) smoker

In the past seven weeks I've placed six orders with Halo (Florida) for both equipment and nic containing e-liquid. All were shipped via standard USPS International Shipping; least expensive, around ten bucks. One was shipped via USPS Express Post on 02 Dec 2014 (about 30 bucks). All made it through CBSA, except the one that was shipped via Express Post. Unfortunately, its still sitting in Mississauga :mad:
