I'm just about out of juice. Any tips on getting some quickly/cheaply? I'd really rather not pay whatever 800 won/ml BS.
Current juice tips?

So I've put together a GH1 order.. 180mlof juice, a passthrough, and 4 stardusts. I'm hoping the passthrough and stardusts will get it through without it being flagged down in customs, although I'm not going to hold my breath.
Would it be safer to do Registered Airmail or EMS? Airmail is about 8 bucks, EMS is 19.

(Also, as I'm comparing all this shipping business, I may want to just go with sending some stuff from the states. Is it probably more or less risky customs wise sending from the states, in ya'lls opinions?)
If the place you're ordering from offers DHL, it is almost guaranteed to not get opened by customs.
Just made a mockup order on HC and it looks like EMS is their only shipping option.
Well I just put an order through from my favorite US company and an order through from GH1, doing standard international shipping in the US company and airmale at GH1. We'll see how long both take and what the deal with both is at customs, and if either of them have any trouble just being left at my apartment's door.
GH1 usually marks their shipments as "electronic parts" or "toy" and passes customs without a hitch... I usually order some mixed bag of hardware, too, like batteries and drip tips and cartomizers. The one time I didn't, I had ordered a lot of juice and got nailed by customs. I usually get EMS from them as the shipping is less than a week. I ordered Airmail once a long time ago and it was 2 weeks. Not too shabby, but I'm impatient. Customs tends to crack down around Solnal and New Year's... I heard.
If they have a suspicion, they'll call you. As with any government agency, it's probably best to be honest with them and tell them it is nicotine liquid for e-cigarettes. The 600 won/ml tax (20ml exempt), is still cheaper than local stuff. Ah, and you'll need to go down to the post office to pay that tax... and some extra fee, too... with your ARC and cash (no card).

I hope it passes, but even if it doesn't, I don't really mind. I tried to find an ecig vendor today since I'm outta juice, and had no such luck. I know where one is, I just don't know how to get to the store itself, because I'm a ....ing ...... and Korea is confusing as .....
You're in Seoul? ìí°ì½ë¦¬ì ííì´ì§ì ì¤ì ê²ì íìí©ëë¤.
I believe all janty stores are open until 9pm. It's expensive but... if you're desperate...

Oh... some are... not all. Sorry...
You can also PM Valsacar or Sam Vines... both mods live in Seoul and can point you towards a vape-friendly bar around Itaewon... the name escapes right now. Maybe you can trade some beer or something for some homebrew liquid with whoever's around. I'm out in Yongin and no way I'm going outside today... too damn cold. If you were near me, I'd stock you up.
This'll learn you not to let your liquid reserves too low, eh? I think I keep a 6 month supply of my favorites on hand at all times... ha!

I brought over about 400ml 4 months ago, I was planning on conserving. Even with conserving, it went pretty quick.
Also I've been smoking a bit anyway, so I'll just have to deal with smoking in the bathroom for now like a real Korean. Once I get new supplies I can re-kick em, since I've been smoking since I got here and really need to stop being stupid.
