How to get Backwood Brew e-juices delivered to Australia

[AnthonyB]

Hey guys,

I have been reading all about Don's famous liquids and the natural extraction processes used behind these 'new' developments in e-liquids. I've read all the fanfare and tales of grandiosity about the quality and flavour of BWB's liquids.

The only problem I've got is I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. I have messaged Don hoping we could come to some arrangement whereby he would ship to me, and I even sweetened the deal proposing I'd pay a significant mark up if he sold the liquids to me.

Don, as stoic and down the line as is possible, told me in very simple terms 'my lawyers have advised me against sending my juices overseas'.

Now this is terribly discouraging for an avid Australian vaper.

So what I am wondering is, does anyone know if there is a supplier who has liquids that are somewhat similar in quality to BWB's (perhaps they use the same natural tobacco extraction methods) or if someone is willing to be my intermediary in the USA who is willing to put in my order and send it to me. I will be happy to pay you a fee if you could do this for me. Say about 20-40% mark up on Don's prices. On an order of $200 or $300 that's a tidy little sum for someone who is willing to help me.

Would love to help but sounds as this could be some what of a risky chance..... From what i understand there is a hefty fine if You get caught with e-liquids..... That would lead me to think 1) It might not even make it to you from customs 2) The seller could stand to be charged with some kind of illegal import fine 3) If Bwb layer would advise against it i would say that would be a good reason I would not want to ..... I would suggest anyone that would conceder this research into this and if it seems to be something that could be done with no repercussion on there end..... It would be a shame to get a fine or worst just to make a few dollars.....

But many vendors in the USA deliver to Australia. FSUSA, Vapor4life and Vaperbomb are amongst others.

Actually, I've found out that Vaperite deliver internationally and from what I've seen their juices seem to rank close to BWBs. Can anyone give me their assessment of BWBs e-liquids vs Vaperite. Same league? Worse or better?

IMO - Vaperite is better than BWB. However, taste is subjective. That's my take on it. If Vaperite will ship to Australia, fly to the site right now.

Fantastic news. I noticed your top 12 on another thread and with Vaperite appearing a lot in your top e-liquids it got me thinking they must be pretty good. I noticed many others also had Vaperite appearing in their top 12s. The Ry4 (or is it VY4) seems to a regular feature in consumers top 12.

Gonna put an order in tonight !

I ordered some BWB shipped to Perth using borderlinx.com. It cost me about $37 to get 7 x 30ml bottles posted to me. Haven't got it yet, but tracking says it's already in Perth. Has taken about a week so far. It's fairly speedy as it's couriered by DHL.

You make your order and use your "suite" address in USA. When the item/s arrive, you can then get them to post it to you, or you can wait and make other orders from different websites etc and ship it all in one go.

Just be careful how much you order though, as shipping is calculated by volumetric weight, not actual weight.

There you go, another great way to order. Thanks for the info doc. Good luck on your BWB purchases too Anthony.

+1 for Vaperite.

There are at least 3 Vaperite juices in my top 12.. I cannot go a night without Rou's Toasted Hazelnut Tobacco..

I think you are talking about the organic VR4.. it's quite good.

Agree w/Dream on all points

Oh that is brilliant Doc! I have already set up my account with Borderlinx! Fantastic! Still going to order with Vaperite as well though because their liquids sound amazing from the reviews I've seen.

Doc, did you say you paid $37 in shipping for 7 X 30 lm bottles? Wow that's pricey though but I guess, that is what we can expect living in northern Antarctica right?

Yeah it is a little expensive, but may work out cheaper than a 40% mark up =) Its gonna quickly send me broke if i really like BWB. But i'm heading stateside for a holiday soon... might bring a boogie board with me to try and smuggle >3 months supply on the way back lol.
