New on the forum and looking for some advice.

PG can be bought from Swedish pharmacies. The problem is that there is one PG product that for some reason requires a prescription. PG in itself is prescription free but that one product usually makes pharmacy staff suspicious. Some convincing can therefore be necessary. Many cigar enthusisats use PG in their humidors and if asked, that would probably be the best explanation to give.

VG ("Glycerol" in Swedish) can also be bought from Swedish pharmacies but contains 15% water. It vapes but leaves a taste of cough medicine. Stay away from it unless you're into preserving twigs and leaves or making your own soap bubble mix. That's about all it can be used for.

Moreover, PG and VG is used as humidifiers in snus so you can probalby get it from places who sell DIY snus kits. raw tobacco etc. That is normally the same places you would buy DIY wine and beer kits, liquor essences etc.

That said, I would opt for buying PG and VG online form e-cig suppliers. The prices are way better and if you're into making your own juices you're gonna have to buy the nic online anyway. It's not sold over the counter i Sweden except as an ingredient in patches, gums etc. Nic counts as a medicine in Sweden and only pharmacies or pharmacy partners (like Pressbyrån) are allowed to sell them.

OP: I study in Lund and go to Malmoe from time to time. Maybe we could hook up and order some stuff together? That would cut some of the transport costs. Drop me a PM if it sounds interesting.

If asked about the PG/ Propylene Glycol one could always say they're making their own soap because of allergies. Also used to make candles and incense.

Aaaarghhh.. Saw that the bundle I was going to buy was n/a and asked them when it will be and they said that they are not sure if they are going to carry that line again. So what is my best buy instead? E-power 510 1860 bundle, Riva 510 or ego 510?

Cibban - I am doing this for my mom and she lives in Gislaved and will be ordering from there.

Longevity wise it's still the E-Power. But the 18650 is a little larger (round) because it is a bigger battery. For a new vapor and being that's it's for someone else, I would probably say the Riva, definitely over the ego.

I don't know if it would be worth if for you to look in the US, but one of the best suppliers over here is Madvapes and they carry the E-Power 14650:

e-Power

Ok, thanks for the help everyone. I will ask her if she wants to try the bigger model otherwise I will go with Riva.
Will probably come back with more questions later..

PH79: Fair enough. Good luck on your first buy. If you get it right she might get off those stinky analogs for good. I'll never look back, that's for sure.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that you consider getting an auto mini model as, or together with, that first e-cig. Although my manual batt givers a stronger hit and more vapor, it's the auto that's made the transition from analogs possible for me. For those first puffs in the morning and vaping while doling other things at the same time, the auto emulates a real cigarette in a much more convincing and satisfying way. It's all about psychology I guess.


Had I known what I know today three weeks ago my first order would have been:

A Riva or an ePower starter kit with dual coil cartos
An auto batt and a few standard cartos (LR/DC might kill it)
30 ml 24 mg, or higher, juice of a renowned taste and brand, similar to what I normally smoke

That would have covered all the bases in my case. YMMV...
