I hope this thread isn't against rules. But my mother had two heart surgeries because of analogs ,and I really want to help her. She quit smoking because of e-cigs I bought her , but my country bans them and they really harass me in customs. They are holding 3 packages of juices and cartomizers in the airport and refusing to release it. Now I have to write a request for the minister of health to release it!!

I have many cousins in the US. I was thinking of re-packing juice in apple cider bottles . What about atomizers ? I was thinking of repacking a reo-grand + attis as an Espresso Machine :D. These guys are really stupid so they will believe it.

Any tips ? Plz its for a good cause. My mother returning to analogs is NOT and option.

Do they open every package that comes through? I think if the sender writes something on the Customs forum like "aromatherapy oils" or something else totally unrelated to e-cigs it'll have a better chance?

Write that request to the Minister of Health ASAP, tell them the story, give them facts about how these help. You never know, they might just release it.

I don't know about Egypt, but getting things into Canada is actually quite easy using these tactics. Hopefully it's easier for you this time around, Youmadbrah :)

Aromatherapy oils should do ya well. If you get the vendor to ship to your cousins in the USA and then they ship to you and put something like that when they fill out the forums you will have a better chance at least. Best of luck!!

...and for hardware, have it labeled as "electronic components" or "electrical components" or "vaporizer components" or "electric vaporizer components"...I would also have liquids and hardware shipped separately.........

Yeah I ship things separately.

I don't have a suggestion. I am just so sorry you have to go through this and I feel so bad for you!

One of the reasons I started vaping myself was because of my mom and her illness. I think I would go insane if I had to deal with what you do trying to save her life.

Thx swedefish. My mother used to smoke 2.5-3 packs a day , and even doctors suggested e-cigs to her. She told me that she really like them and she quit it for the first time in her life. Quitting the import idea is not an option for me at all. I am getting married this year and I don't have enough money to go to USA to buy stuff myself. But I am definietly planning to this. I really started to hate my country so much.
