How about just accessories, wires, coiling kit? Under the umbrella of the ban also?

You should really realise why we are giving nonsensical answer. If you don't then you shouldn't be playing the game.

Noob: "officer! Why you confiscate my coiling kit?! Knnccb!!!"

Officer: "what else are you gonna use coiling kit for? Repair your water heater and iron ah?"

Noob: "why cannot, kanthal is a heating element what. Can fix my stuff. My school need for science project also!"

Officer: "then the cotton in the coiling kit for you put make up is it. Nabei, puts your hand up."

Officer handcuff noob. Noob now have to pay 10k and go squat 6 month.

The example above is not a representative of the law. It's just a comical way of what I think might happen. It may or may not happen to you, YMMV. It just that the law they introduced recently is so vague. So anything you do and say can be and will be used against you.

Just be safe. Always remember what you were taught in bmt.

Any items closely related to vaping are prohibited for imports
But wiring can be used for many purposes: you may be cutting wood or plastic with it..
Kits are also only tools, I don't see why would they be banned
Edit:
My app is slow to update, it's all well described already

Alamak both of you ah. Just stop speculating already. The law is vague. If you plan to play, just be safe. Yes, the kits are just tools only but it depends on the intent of the person using it. The authorities are smart enough to know what a coil jig is. Let me just tell you all that the more you all ask this kind of questions on a public forum, the smarter the authorities become.

Please keep the discussion on the news only. Stop asking if you can do this or do that. Want ask also don't do it in public lah. Want to know why this post feel condescending? Well because these type of questions spoil the market. Seriously, there is somebody watching.

LOL. Seriously ? We are into such discussions now?

Do what you want lor... the consequences are for you to bear anyway. not come to forum and speculate this and that. no one is going to give you answers even if they do.

Moving forward....

heard from my reliable sources that the shops from our neighbouring state are going deep (aka. stealth). Better take contact from your to-go shop before they disappear. Discounts are ongoing (maybe because it's X'mas too!).... better go before the holidays are here!

Found this online

"Previously, the prohibition enforced by the Health Sciences Authority only prevented the import, distribution, sale or offer for sale of vaping devices and paraphernalia — but it's technically not illegal to possess it.

With the new laws, any person found with e-cigarettes (or any product mentioned above) are liable to a fine of up to $10,000 and/or a maximum jail term of six months. Subsequent convictions will double the initial penalties."

Even new patches and gums are ban. Which is kind of weird as those were meant to help smokers to quit smoking.

Why?

Just because someone post something from "online" doesn't make it a fact. Without knowing the source of the quote, it's just another internet hearsay.

Recently, in a bid to shed some pounds, I started to walk about more. Sometimes, on my walks in lalaland, I sight vapers going full steam at the least discreet of places. I wonder whether to applaud their courage or despise my feebleness.
I wouldn't confuse ignorance and stupidity for courage.
Be safe and keep vaping. Stealth :)

It's funny. The criminalisation of vaping will only turn ordinary, otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals. I really want to believe the government is trying to promote a healthier SG, but with the ever rising taxes of tobacco and the illegality of vaping, I find it hard to do so. Most of us were ex-analogers, and we know the harm of cigarettes. Please, we're not dumb. But vaping is a gateway for us to potentially stop or curb our habits.

The criminalisation of vaping would not stop people from vaping, it will only push the community and the industry underground. When it's underground, what becomes threatened are the very lives of the citizens that they are so desperately trying to protect. Illegality festers irresponsible and shoddy quality checks and PVs of such quality can blow up in our faces. Eliquids can contain a fatal concentration of nicotine.

Too bad this country isn't a true democracy. Hong Lin park is a joke, and I doubt that even if the vaping community advocate for the decriminalisation of vaping even with the backing of legitimate, academic and institutionalised data, we would get heard.

Sincerely,
A "Criminal" University Undergraduate
