Convertion to Europe and Sweden

[chrisH]

So i basicly just found out about E-cigarettes and have been looking around on the internet for this. And i have found a few distributors who deliver and sell to sweden, but i also found this site:

Nordic Eco Smoke

It basicly claims that it is the official and ONLY reseller for Ruyan E-cigg in sweden, and that every1 else is a cheap copycat, breaking the patent-rules when selling their copys. It also has links to research reports saying that the original inventor(Ruyan) of E-cig dont use any dangerous poisons in their products, but some of the copycats does! Also, apparently their products dont contain any nicotine, which sucks cause i do want some nicotine since well... i dont wanna, or rather cant go cold turkey and just quit smoking.

Now i have been reading around in the threads on this forum, and none of you talk about Ruyan
so im wondering what you all think about this. Should i buy the more expensive Ruyan originals and be forced to import the nicotine from the states or whereever or should i go with the cheaper ....? And the stuff you talk about here, are they original or copys aswell?

Also its kind of hard to know all the tecnical terms you guys use, like Carts, is that like the filter you put in and drip taste on? the link i posted only seem to sell filters already filled with taste or smt...

As you can see i feel lost, and on top of that i need to figgure out the conversion of everything you talk about here to sweden. If i order something from the states, do i need to pay taxes or smt to bring it to sweden?

I need help =)

Chris,this forum might help to find some answers for you.

They will probably be better suited to advise where to buy from.

Sometimes it takes a little while for the post count to kick in,you'll be able to soon enough. Don't believe everything that you read on that link.....there are lots of outstanding suppliers of E-Cigs and liquid.E-Cigs are the best thing that ever happened to me!

Hello fellow countryman! Like you I just recently discovered this phenomenon, though I have a month on you, I got my kit on dec 29th. What you need to do first of all is to research, and this forum goes a long way in helping with that. You'll also want to check out www.vapingguides.com and I recommend you go to altsmoke.com and click on the "Learn" link up top, it has 3 links which you'll want to study.

I hadn't come across nordic eco smoke before, but other than those we have two other resellers that I know of, Onecig.com - Den nya generationens elektroniska cigarett/e-cigarett/onecigg <-- but again it's the imitation type, and generally if it looks identical to a cigg the battery and vapour will suck. We also have elCigg.se - e-cigaretter med tillbehör Snabba leveranser - elCigg.se which is slightly more serious, they have joye 510 kits though the big batt model they sell is the x-power which isn't compatible with 510 attys.

The reason you can't get nicotine is because of our dear old läkemedelsverket -- which is as corrupt as they come -- have granted monopoly rights for nicotine to the pharmaceutical cartel. You can import it, but you cannot sell it within the country. You can't even give some to your friends legally.

If you order from within the EU you do not need to pay extra taxes, it's already included in the price, but importing from outside EU you 'have' to pay tax on it.

But the first thing you need to do is: Don't panic! Take things slowly and one thing at a time, go through the links I gave you and read up on it, that'll get you started with basic knowledge (but be prepared to spend hours reading).

And about your health concerns: You might want to listen to this podcast, An hour with Dr. Michael Siegel 1/16/2011 - kevbow | Internet Radio | Blog Talk Radio -- it's an interview with Dr. Michael Siegel and will help you understand the health issues. Then of course you can post in the 'swedes' thread, or you can private message me if you feel more comfortable talking in swedish.
