This is my first attempt at e vapour so need plenty of help as to what I need . I know nicotine is bannedjn Aust ,but know there are places I can order from ,incl overseas. Appreciate your help.

hi everyone, I have just ordered a vapour implement as I want to quit the cigs. Don't know where to go from here though. I'd prefer a nicotine base e liquid at this stage as I am a heavy smoker . I know nicotine is banned here in Aust but would like some help in obtaining info as to where I can order some. Also what liquids do I need and is it easy to make these if I have to. Struggling with what I need to fill my vapouriser and where to get some , many thanks everyone,, Bernie

Hello @Bernie Miles and welcome to ECF! Congratulations on giving vaping a go! The laws here in Australia are confusing for sure. I have just looked up a site and found some information on Western Australia for you:
WESTERN AUSTRALIA (WA) vaping LAWS
Western Australia is one of the strictest states with laws around vaping in Australia. In Western Australia provisions that relate to e-cigarettes come under the Tobacco Products Control Act 2006 and the Medicines And Poisons Act 2014. Under the act, you are not allowed to sell any product that is not a tobacco product, but designed to resemble a tobacco product or package. Unfortunately, due to this act, e-cigarettes with or without nicotine cannot be sold in Western Australia. You can still buy e-cigarettes and e-liquids online from vendors in other states and have it shipped to WA. The use of vapes and e-liquids is legal to use with or without nicotine in WA and there are no controls around vaping in no-smoking zones, so you are legally free to vape wherever you like unless the owner of the premises prohibits vaping.

So basically, you are ok to import eliquid containing nicotine to your state. @AngeNZ has already suggested some New Zealand sites for you.
I have used supervapestore.com.au before and they are very good as well.
For really cheap eliquids with nicotine I have also bought from fasttech.com. The only problem (if you can call it that) is that fasttech take about a month to get here. BUT the shipping/postage is free. If you plan ahead though, you could order from one of the other sites mentioned first to get some eliquid quickly, then put an order in with fasttech and wait for it.
Let us know what device you bought, as different devices are more suited to different strength eliquids. I am guessing that you will want to replicate the act of smoking to start with - if that is the case, I would suggest you order a higher mg eliquid - something like an 18mg or even 24mg nicotine content.
Best of luck!
Catherine

What kind of device are you using? Is it a all in one device, a box mod and a sub ohm tank, or a rda set up. Imo it would vary from set up to set up being that the amount of vapor you will get from each set up will be drastically different.

Edit: those aren't the only kind of set ups out there. I just used those as an example.

Welcome from a former Oz citizen (well I still am I guess, since the US decided dual citizenship with Oz was okay). I've been living here forever (it seems like) and I was like, "I am NOT turning in my citizenship until they allow me to keep the one I have). Good to have a bolt hole, sometimes, LOL.

Welcome to ECF and I wish you much success in your vaping journey!

I'm glad you want to try vaping, and I hope you are successful. Most vapers coming from smoking do use nicotine.. It may be easiest for you to purchase gear and 0 nic liquid where you are (at least to start with) and I know (depending on location) you may be able to import just the nic into the country, and add nicotine to your 0 nic juice, although I believe it's also possible to import juices, under a certain amount, without getting into any hot water over it, although I think it may vary slightly by location depending on where you are.

If you go to the international forums there is one for Australia, it may be more helpful (for you) to ask the question there, as the AUS folks on ECF are up on the latest and greatest as far as importation and etc.

Welcome to ECF. In the meantime, you can certainly get some general ideas regarding vape gear and liquids by exploring other areas of ECF.

Welcome however, and I wish you much success.

Anna
