Last item i bought for my wife is provari mini purchase price with all the item is about 300usd or so and i need to pay tax for about RM178.54sen.. but this was on Jun 2012.. Paypal banned e-cig purchases.. yes some still using but most of the vendor i like they use CC.. it's ok you'll soon understand.. did you join MVC (Malaysia Vapers Corner) on FB lots of info there for you to ask about how to and so on.. as long you keep away from analog is good bro.. keep on vaping!!

For the people like me in the north..if i were to track my package and the package shows customs released on the same day as the day shown handed to customs then sure ok liao...if that thing shows handed to customs for two days then when u track in poslaju and shows sent to butterworth ppl...sure habis...very slim chance will get here and the only thing will get is a letter from poslaju to go there and collect from the customs....so this is my experience...year 2010 is ok...bring in 20 bottles of 10ml liquid still sure pass wont get stuck now I am not sure whats the quantity of 10ml's thats best to order...haizzz blur blur like sotong vaping...

last year i had 1 of my parcel withheld by custom..had to go to Butterworth post office to retrived..no problem,just has to explained to the officers what my contents were..as they not aware of electronic cigarette until i explained about the gadgets and e-liquids..till now there are no duty on electronic cigarette & accessories impose by Malaysian government yet..i was told by the custom officers..all legitimate goods,maximum value not exceeding 500 rm..no duty imposed..so next time U order from abroad make sure U have the receipt & bring with U when claiming yr withheld parcel..the e-liquids i buy in bulk 1/2 litre size & DIY my own e-liquids..i am self sufficient in gadgets and e-liquids for years to come..happy vaping every1..regards mafig

does malaysia sell any of this products ?

hi chipper69 & welcome to ECF:)..R U referring to e-liquids or flavorings?...all the ingredients to DIY yr own e-liquids can be obtained or purchased from yr local pharmacy or yr local bakery supplier,legally..VG/PG and assorted flavors from durian to strawberry and cheese to chocolate can be bought over the counter from bakery stockist..only need to purchased the nicotine from abroad..i get 48mg strength nicotine and dilute down..was vaping 24mg-36 mg last year..now less than 10mg strength in my e-liquids I DIY..visit the DIY forum and learn from the experts..get fun and enjoyment i get doing so..regards mafig ps when i started i bought 3 bottles of 10 ml cost me 15 rm a bottle plus 6 rm for postage,total 51 rm..too pricy and home-made..not worth it better buy online from China,but U from Singapore,yr government banned electronic cigarette and e-liquids so better learn how to DIY and be self sufficient in yr vaping journey..good luck

Thanks Mafig...will try and order again and see how it goes...some say ok some say not ok..but from what i know is the same as yours..as long as your products and shipping add up is not more than rm500 is ok..cos i was in butterworth and was detained but my parcel got mixed up..instead of receiving my 5 sets of ego i got one pair of high end walkietalkies..hahah so my parcel was wrong but consignment note was on the box..so it was interchanged somewhere along the way and my 5 egos went to an Australian whom did not return the parcel..I think he is a vaper too..hahaha sure happy wan this guy...end up i left the walkietalkies at the custom and i got refunded from my supplier...cheers...this is one bad experience only..and the rest of my other goods which i ordered so far not held by customs but still trying to order on the safe side. Me too have lots to go on for years ... cartomizers and stardust add up i have more than a 100 of them hahhaha one cartomizer can use for one month..el I have more than a kg of them but still ordering in small quantity..something like Doomsday preppers hahhahah..Mafig where u from..since u go to Butterworth..ur from Penang..want to hook up for some TT and vape one day...here no kaki lah..boring..hehehhe cheers

everything is legal in electronic cigarette and accessories including e-liquids buying online..just make sure the items less than 500 rm worth..i was told if the items exceed 500 rm, duty is imposed..good luck & happy vaping..regards mafig ps i bought my supplies online mainly from China and never had any tax/duty paid on my purchases..by air-registered mail takes longer to reach U(more than 2 weeks) ..EMS still the fastest, less than a week..i can recommend healthcabin,super quick and turnround sending yr goods to U

I'm from Kuala Lumpur and i was thinking of ordering some eliquid from Health Cabin. Previously have you ordered HC eliquid before? If so how do you find the quality compared to the more established like Hangsen or Dekang? Thanks for your assistant in clearing my doubt on HC eliquid.
