I'd be more worried smoking contraband indian cigarettes/cigars or having them on me then my PV and E-juice.

I have had people ask me what it was, how does it work, what does it taste like, do you feel anything, is it expensive, where can I buy one... I had one police officer looking at me in a weird way from his cruiser once while I was stopped at a traffic light, so I turned around and went and talked to him. At first he was a little on edge, but when He realised I just wanted to explain and talk about it, he was happy to chit chat and told me it was his first time seeing one. With the blue light at the tip, he was really scratching his head and asking himself, what the hell is that? lol
Once he understood, he told me he will consider it a type of Nicorette Inhaling device. He was just happy too see it wasn't drugs/narcotics, and congratulated me on quitting smoking :) Cool Cop.

cool thats what i was hoping for ... thanks i was really asking because my area is not but not the best to live in either so cops are always on edge... the storie you told me helps !! :D thanks

Concat is right: it is true that HC & Customs can seize anything - hardware, juice, you name it. They've done it. One Canadian vendor told me how just last week, they lost a $4000 order of batteries because Customs seized it. Just batteries. My heart broke for them.

This never-ending uncertainty, this cloud of threat hanging over everyone's head...is one of the main reasons that all our Canadian vendors need to take a trade association proposal seriously. Being a no-nic vendor will make zero difference if HC decides to seize them right out of business. And even if they didn't...no vendor is an island. I'm not going to buy batteries or cartomizers from Vendor A if I can't get nicotine from Vendor B.

Sorry...getting sidetracked from the ProVari shipping question, lol. 4Sho...I live in Toronto, and I ordered my ProVari directly from ProVape in Seattle. There were no problems whatsoever. It was sent out on a Tuesday...went down to San Francisco for U.S. Customs...then to Mississauga for Canadian Customs...and by Friday it was in my hands. Yay!

I do recommend going with the higher-priced shipping. It'll make the difference between a few days wait, and a few weeks wait, once they send your package out. While I would prefer not to elaborate here in the thread...you really won't have to worry about your ProVari arriving. I'll PM you re: why.

It's one of the best PV's in the world today...congrats on choosing well! Happy vaping & all the best.

thanks man, i really did a lot of research on a lot of pv's.... this one struck me the most, i don't mind paying a big price once but i tend to keep the device untill it dies so i try to go for quality not quantity:)... srry lil off topic.
anyways i haven't had the chance to see your pm yet, but thank you for making me feel all good about my provari :)
thanks to everybody once again!

Just to clarify,


There is no law against owning or using batteries, vaporizering atomizers or any parts associated with. There is no law against owning or using plastic parts associated with cartridges and cartomizers, USB chargers or other battery charging devices.

There is also no law, nor restriction against owning or using food flavoring, PG, VG, or nicotine in low doses (such as that found in eliquids, cigarettes, patches, nicorettes and nicotine inhalers). prescriptions or other permissions are required for higher doses of nicotine.

Schedule F drugs, in general, are controlled in terms of who can distribute them and how - but they are not illegal.

Nicotine is exempted as a schedule F drug when in strengths below 4mg per dosage unit (Food and Drug Regulations) (such as that found in cigarettes, patches, nicorettes, inhalers and eliquid).

There are other Schedule F drugs that have exemptions - such as Ibuprofin (Advil). Non exempt Schedule F's require a prescription - exempt Schedule F's don't. That's the general difference.
