Thanks for the feedback dragonbone. Would you know where I can get ejuices there? I will be staying for quite some time...

Oops, sorry t43, I'm surprised no one has answered you yet. I've been away and now have horrible flu.

Yes, there apparently are places where you can buy your eJuices from locally. However most of us import ourselves from either the US or China or get friends or family to post some for us. My advice is to bring enough to last you for at least 3 months. More if you can... Well that's what I would do.
Wait... just read back...
Are you only coming for a few weeks? If so, bring enough to last a month.

Chris here, way up north where the snow monkeys live...been in japan pretty much since 1991.

Hey, welcome Chris :). You've probably been asked this question many times, so sorry... but have you taken an onsen with snow moneys nearby (like they show on the news each year) :p?

Does anyone know where to order stuff in Japan with a decent return policy?
I ordered an Ego-V V2 from no leaf and in less than a month it broke. There return policy is only a week! I really hate the return policies most places here!


i tend to not buy anything from japanese websites. im not sure why, but the japanese webdesigners are notorious for making horrendously bad decisions when building a site. littering them with ads for everything from groceries to porno mags. i refuse to put my eyes and sensibilities through the strain of japanese site navigation. with that said, i have found quite a few "reputable" chinese ecig sites that ship to japan within 2-4 days. and cheap doesnt do the prices justice. typically, japan is gonna mark up anything 40% due to import taxes and organized crime wanting its taste. id rather not help those douchebags be richer douchebags, so ill order direct from where they are built.

Really? Organized crime?


sure. its the same with leather goods. the various crime families with contacts or members in gov. instituted a tax on certain items. leather being one of them. so, for example, the motocross boots i paid $250 for in the states, all of a sudden cost Y55000 here. and its the reverse for products exported from japan. my Arai helmet cost about $300 here, but would have run me $500+ in the states. a buddy of mine that used to own an import business in kawasaki clued me in on some of the shady workings here.

a general rule of thumb i follow while shopping is, consider every posted price as having a 35% mark up. its not always the case, but its been pretty accurate so far, exept for today. found a 808 battery w 2 cartos and a charger for Y2500. thats a pretty steep markup, but it was also in the impulse buy line at a local hardware store, so i have to expect that the price would be inflated a bit.
