i will pass this along to see what we can do
Portuguese Customs 101 for US orders:
(I believe this should be similar in most EU countries)

How to avoid customs taxes 101:
Ask for the item to declared as “Gift”, “Sample”, “Repair” or even “Discounted Item”. It's not 100% reliable but it is usually effective.

Delivery services:
- USPS Priority and Flat-Rate, has +/- 30% chances of being checked at customs.
- USPS Express Mail and Global Express Mail, has +/- 70% chances of being checked at customs.
- UPS, DHL and FedEx, have 100% chances of being checked at customs (possible agreement with Portuguese customs)

Yeah, what Michelle said :)
I usually recommend KR8's to newbies, because theyre simple, convenient and they work!
I would love a Bloog distributor in europe. Danish customs are hit or miss (mostly miss!), and the usual tricks with labelling (gift, small value, labelling as "toys" etc.) don't work.
I have only found two distribtors of KR8 types in europe, and they are both nearly out of stock, and don't seem interested in carrying prefilled carts.
Blank cartos are available, but defeat the purpose of having an ideal solution for newbies, i.e. charge, fit a carto, vape!
In short: get on with it!! (pretty please :))

There are a couple in DK other than the 2 in UK but they charge 3-4 times as much for a kit!! The 2 UK vendors arent very interested in the kr8 and one of them have been out of stock for weeks, every time they get shipment in, its bought in a short time and then they are ou of stock for ages again.. I fear they are cutting it out, cus they are overjoyed on egos and such..

@Sublimegirl:
It has been said earlier that talks were ongoing about finding a european distributor.
Have you talked to Abe at LibertyFlights? He carries the Kr808, but is constantly low on stock. Apparently the problem is inconsistent service from Kanger. He migt be interested in a 808-type that can actually be ordered AND delivered...

>edit: Also distribution of nicotine from the UK poses no problems from customs in other eu-countries.

we have been in talks but no deal has closed...so until then can't make any promises... we offer the same wholesale deal to everyone though ...I will make an attempt and reach out to him sure.

I doubt very much that the Bloog manufacturer will sell Bloog products directly to LibertyFlights ;-)
Abe from LF has stated earlier that his supply problems are due to delays directly from Kanger, so maybe he would be interested in carrying another 808-type e-cig.

There are examples of that. Ex: the mini PCC manufacturer does that with nhaler.
Looking for a "simple" Bloog distributer though, nothing more, nothing less.

The prob with the 2 UK vendors is that one has thought of cutting it comepletely and they both have no love for it. They are into bigger type things. Theyll only keep kr8's on as long as there is a certain demand for it. They'll have no prob cutting it out. Thats why i like it here, cus the people selling me stuff, uses the same device as me..

Also 1 has his own name for kr8 and the other dont do the names. They state manufacturer. So I dont se a partnership there anytime soon... Think leaf said they were talking to someone in DK? A store or somthing...
