Woh! I have been searching everywhere and it is till now that I found this part of ECF.
Ok, I'll go straight to the point. I have been living here in Japan (Nakanoshima to be exact) for 3-4 months now and I am running low on juices and atomizers (which I brought from the Philippines). I still do not have any credit card (in process) so that adds up to my dilemma.

My questions are
1. Is there a shop here in Japan, near Tokyo where I could go and buy e-cig stuffs (e-liquid specially WITH nic) - Preferably speaking english cause my Nihongo sucks bigtime!
2. If no, where do you guys order online and
3. How much or how many ml's do you order in one batch? (100ml??)
4. Do you make special requests not to write NIC on the e-juices?
5. Any other advice that could help....

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey DarKnight, welcome to the ECF and congrats on finding the Japan sub forum :).

If you look further up the thread you can see links to some shops and websites in Japan.

I buy my juice online from Health Cabin China and various shops in USA, I also do a bit of DIY and hope to do more of that in the future to save money... I have absolutely no problem importing juice, even large amounts of say 250ml at a time or even more. Very few vendors (and probably none of them) will be dumb enough to wite nic content on the parcel description. It is not illegal to import juice for personal use to Japan, so you won't be having any problems.

What juice and flavor etc. are you currently using and what is your hardware setup?

Hello Dragonbone!
First, thank you for the very quick reply.
Yeah, I was eyeing Health-Cabin and Heaven's gifts for the E-Juice and some atomizers, but they prefer PAYPAL?
I cannot use the CC directly or can I? Cause If I use PP, I will have to register on their Japan website, or I will have to add my Japan CC to my Philippine PP account... which is which? hehehe Or am I totally that dumb?

So you have imported 250ml at one time... that was a big help! If nobody answered, I would have ordered 100ml at a time which will cost me a lot of bucks on the shipment.

About the E-Juice, I use Philippine made E-Juices at the moment called "Holy Smokes!" (with the "S" cause there is another one without the "S".) This is one vendor who sells it from the Philippines
Holy Smokes | Myvape Airborne Inc

I like ALL of their flavors (very flavorful, decent throat hit and smoke). I just don't have the time to ask them how to get it here... I need a fast solution.

As for my setup, I am now using HRT (High Rise Tower), Philippine made, telescopic PV. I am using 18650 batts and the regular 510 atomizer with drip tip.

I also have the detonator or VMU (VV box mod) - but I did not bring it with me cause of the aesthetics.. they might put me in jail for carrying an actual detonator..
Rawkus - VMU aka Detonator VV Box Mod v2.0
Just scroll down the page and you will see the picture

I also have the 3.7 box mod (which I made) from Madvapes...

Sorry for that Dragonbone. I was logged in when I checked. Seemed the pictures are not viewable from non members. Anyway, here it is

It is the one in red. But mine is colored purple. VMU is just the unit. Mine uses a simple 510 atty and a purple driptip.

You mean with Japan as a whole?
Well, it is an enjoyable and at the same time hard stay for me.
Hard because I STILL cannot understand them (although the basics I do) fully enough. I cannot go to a restaurant without getting my eyebrows raised because they are asking me something...
Even now I haven't got a haircut for months... I've gotten my hair long now (well not very long) cause I do not know how to tell them how to cut my hair.
Enjoyable at the same time as this is a totally new culture to me. Add to that the beautiful scenery (specially the temples) they got here. Oh! and the people are very friendly and I mean FRIENDLY. :)
About work, well... it is what I do for years now... so nothing new there. Just new friendly, quiet (very) colleagues.

LOL!! Just go in the hairdresser and use English words or mine with a lot of smiling. Like haircut (he-kattu) and make scissor movements with your fingers. Point at a pic in a styling magazine. Show one or two fingers for trim (turimu). Most hardressers know the English words for cut, style, wash, color, perm, trim etc. etc. Also most have magazines and you can just point, like in a sushi bar.

Hahaha.. that is what my friends say. To get pictures and show it to the hairdresser.
Another thing is the price. It is very steep for such a low wager like me. ;)
I am trying to find one that costs less than ni sen yen.... Which is of course near my place so I could go home immediately and have a nice shower to remove the leftover hair.

If you are a guy, you can get a cut/trim for that price. They have those rotation coveyer type hairdressers at stations etc., where one person washes, another cuts and another dries and then you pay and out. Quick and cheap. I think you may even get a cut for sen yen, but not 100% sure. Ask the people you work with for a cheap place, I'm sure they would be pleased to advise you.
