Doomed to keep smoking analogs...

[JuanC]

As some of you may know i joined this forum posting this:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/62068-e-cig-banned-mexico.html

Searching for a way to help me keep of smoke (today is almost a week tobacco free), and so for my father that is getting worse each day, he smokes 2-3 cigs a day but cant totally cut the tobacco so far, problem is hes 64 years old and might not last long if he continues smoking tobacco.

Sadly trying to buy from any store in the US has been a let down, most of them wont ship outside US, and the ones that do dont ship to Mexico, then theres the chinese stores but the shipping rate is pretty high and im not confident of the products quality, also anything that comes from China to Mexico gets promptly searched for piracy so is kinda risking it a lot to order from there.

I was thinking on making an ecig here with parts but kinda hard to make when i dont fully understand the concepts behind it, how much vapor the device produces, and a lot of questions i have that cant be completely answered without trying an actual device for myself.

So i guess is farewell for now, is a nice community you people got here and i hope someday this stupid ban is lifted from Mexico.

I wish there was something we could do. It is really sad that Mexico had a kneejerk reaction to electronic cigarettes. It isn't beyond the scope that BT might have had a huge hand in getting them banned their. Maybe one of the dealers here in the US can figure out a way to work with you and get what you need. Surely it's not impossible to ship something to Mexico.

I sure bet its hard to get illegal items in Mexico.

Sarcasm drips off that statement like stolen jewelry off a .......

I get my stuff from China. Ask around and you'll find some good places to order from. I just got some stuff from Heaven's Gift's.
Actually, most of the ecig stuff comes from there anyway.
Don't give up, go for it.

Don't know if it will help but my e-cig kit arrived in a plain jiffy bag

Well is a product no one knows of, and piracy is not know for pirating/importing/smuggling things no one gives a shiet/cares enuf about... im sure that if i go out looking for ....... ill can proly buy a Kilo at the next corner, sadly is not so easy with ecigs...

 

[beast775]

If you look at mods you can get all information on every part that is in a unit,even making juice.im in canada and we have a similer situation here.but not as bad as mex.my brother lived there for years mail service not that good as i remember.you could get attys sent for sure and make the rest out of led flashlights.and a old drill.

 

[kase]

Maybe Americans will start smuggling them into Mexico. LoL. Would be a funny table turner.

 

[757girl]

Do you travel to California? Maybe someone in your family has a PO Box or address there that you could ship to if the supplier would ship to a PO Box.

geez now I'm sitting here thinking like a criminal lol

I am stealing this and making it a daily part of conversational repetoire. I salute you, dear lady.


My apologies for interrupting this serious topic BTW...

 

[JuanC]

If i where traveling to USA it would be simpler to just buy it there dont you think?

Well it would take longer but dont you have any friends you can trust in the US? Just have a friend order it then have them send it to you.

Exactly. And have them ship it separate. Like batteries in one shipment. Cartys in another shipment (probably all blanks to be easy). And a few bottles of e-liquid with no orignal label.

Or maybe order from China and one order for batteries and chargers. A separate order for cartomizers. And a seperate order for a few bottles of e-liquid. You can even see if they will not use their label and instead use a label that says flavoring or something discreet. As long as it doesn't say e-cigarette or anything on the box, you'd probably be fine. And yeah, it would be a bit more for shipping for your first order. But if you order 50 cartomizers and a few batteries, you'll only need to order juice for a whillle.

some of the china distributors will re-ship for free if it gets nabbed from customs... check heaven gifts or eastmall and see if they extend that offer to Mexico.

 

[JuanC]

Hmmm ill contact heaven gift in one of my last attempts in this for now, seeing they could re-ship if needed is great, and about the juice i dont think thats an issue since i do have a friend here that makes all kinds of cosmetic and chemical stuff so hes very familiar with laboratories and we could get liquid nic and flavours with no probs at all.

I wonder why U.S. suppliers won't ship to Mexico. Anyway, did you look at suppliers from other countries like the UK or Canada? Look on the sub forums for vapers in other countries. I would assume there are other Mexicans and/or South Americans. They must get there supplies form somewhere....

Because it is illegal as Juan said.

But Juan it is crazy huh? I'm a New Mexican and I live near Ciudad Juarez and used to travel back and forth quite a bit. I love Mexico but you know whats happened to Juarez. The crime is outrageous.

You would think the Mexican government would have better things to do than ban healthy alternatives to cigs.

After following the forums for a while I believe I have the knowledge to build one myself. Read the forums even if you go to analogs and eventually you can get back to vaping by making your own if necessary.

Juan, don't let fear stops you from buy from China, I can tell you my friend, I have bought a lot of times from heaven gifts, a lot of my friends have too, no one, not even once have had any problems at all.

One time the post office manager kept one of my shipments, but ironicly, the package came from the US, he wanted money for give it to me, I didn't accept, recently the guy was moved to another office and the problem is gone.

I have even had packages opened by customs and they didn't sized it, so DO NOT WORRY, BUY FROM CHINA, it is not a problem for small personal packages.

En español:
No dejes de comprar solo por miedo, te puedo contar que yo y muchos de mis amigos compramos de Heaven Gifts y nunca hemos tenido ni un solo problema.

Una vez el wey de correos de México me quiso pedir dinero por un paquete, el paquete venía de USA, no le di nada, luego lo cambiaron de oficina y ya no he tenido problemas.

Una vez incluso aduana abrió uno de los paquetes y no lo decomisaron, así que NO TE PREOCUPES POR COMPRAR DE CHINA, además todos se producen allá, todos los cigarros electrónicos los hacen en China, además el envío de heaven gifts solo cuesta 5 dolares.

Te recomiendo un blog que tiene un amigo mio donde está publicando todo lo relacionado con este asunto: Vapeadores.Com | Todo sobre el Cigarro Electrónico él igual que yo y mi hermano llevamos ya mucho tiempo vapeando.

I sell yoyo's online and I won't ship to Mexico. Their mail system is like a black hole, maybe that's the problem?
