Hello fellow vapers it's been long since I've been on this forums and it's good to still see familiar faces here!
I don't know if I'm stupid or suey but just wanted to share with y'all, I just got busted! I keh kiang tried to sell my secondhands on carousel cause I've seen other similar listings and heard of some people did it successfully and guess what? - Undercover HSA pretended to be buyer and I got caught. Now I'm waiting to be charged under sales/advertising of illegal tobacco products(heard can kena fine up to 10k) and all my vape stuff got confiscated. Kiss goodbye to more than 100 bottles of juices and 5 vapes. Heart pain max bros. My prized collection.
Just wanted to share with you guys my experience so you don't end up doing something stupid like me and regret. Now I don't know still want to continue vaping or not, heard kena second time lagi jialat. Anyone got any experience on what to expect for my charge?

I'm sorry for you mate, this is one very sad experience.

I gave away my unwanted stuff by mail and will never show face to buy anything...
In fact I stop using real name when ordering stuff. Also, don't keep all your toy in the same place... Get kakis to to keep some spare toys for you just in case things happen.

Any updates yet, Lolypop? I hope things are going as smoothly as they can at this point. Come back to update us when you can... :(

Anna
Nah no updates so far. I expect the authorities here to take quite awhile. That's how they usually handle things.

I want to say I sympathize with you... But, Carousell? Seriously? What were you thinking? You might as well have been vaping outside a police station!

I know I was stupid. I saw people doing it successfully and got ideas. It's ok, painful lesson learnt so I just wanted to share so bros here don't be like me again.

And over 100 bottles of juice? Seriously?
Or did you mean juice bottles? Like you collected empty bottles because you liked the labels and the rubber tips made you feel sexy?

I'd think that if juice is hard to get, maintaining a supply would be a rational thing to do. I don't know how hard DIY materials are to get over there, but I could see having that amount, potentially. No need to kick someone when they're already down....

I don't have 100 bottles of juice, but I have a ton of nic in my freezer-- same difference, really.

The carousel thing, though... Well, hopefully lesson learned and hopefully not too harshly. Let's hope.

Hey, Anna

I'm not one to kick a man when he's down too, it's not gentlemanly. And I'm also convinced he probably got busted. But, I do like to call out BS when I smell it.

See, in the SG context, you can get all the DIY ingredients from local online stores except for nic. They're all foodstuffs after all.

And it's not too unreasonable to hoard. But here's how I made my measure:

I run through a 60ml bottle a week. That's coz I get to vape 7 days a week, all day long. Given that there are 52 weeks a year, our dear boy would be stashing 1-2 years worth of juice, depending on the size of his bottles.

While juice is hard to come by here, we're not a desert island in the South Pacific. ;) Maybe he really likes the bottle art.

Oh, and no one's sold anything vape related on Carousell in over a year.

Just terribly skeptical.

Look, I'm honestly not trolling. Just enjoying the discourse.

P/S Do you wanna build a snowman?
