hi there everyone, like everyone in this forum, i'm here to start trying out e cigs so that i could have a more safer smoking habit with less chemicals ruining my health. I'm from singapore and would like to know if there are any suppliers here in my home town so that i could get hold of the e cigs sooner and also i'm not sure that i could even order them online as the custom in singapore in much stricter if i'm not wrong.

So anyone out there that could guide me in the right direction would be much appreciated. thank you and hope to hear from you guys soon. cheers

Welcome , but you should be aware that E-cigs and related are banned in Singapore . But all is not lost . Get 5 non-spam type posts , ( welcome , or say hi to some other people ) and wait for the system to reset , then you can go to the Malaysian forum , and find out where to purchase . Do not order anything , online with your name and address . There is a very stiff fine , if your item gets caught in customs . There is one member here telling you guys to order from health cabin . Very bad advice . If you get caught , it will cost you around 5000.00 and 6 months in jail . A lot safer , to just ask your fellow countrymen , in the Malaysian forum . good luck.

Hi there, I am from Singapore and like you, I am new too.
Started vaping for 3 weeks already but just to let you know getting a starter kit is going to be difficult.
You must be very creative... :glare:
Hang around here more, sooner or later you will be creative....


HI there xolox, thanks for the input. So can you tell me does it feel like we are smoking? What's your comments about vaping compared to smoking. Would it be a good alternate for smoking? And when you say getting it would be difficult... is it from ordering it online or finding a source to get hold of it? thanks again ;)

Judging from the active selling and buying in the classified section by your fellow countrymen, underground vape enthusiast are aplenty in SG. Best to hook up with someone local that can advise you where to source goodies. But of course also be wary as we will never know if authorities are monitoring ecf as well.

HI justinred, where is this buying and selling classified section? can you point to me the link? Thank you .

As I mentioned imn my first post , was that you need to get verified , to be able to access the classifieds here . Some people here in the states , will ship to Singapore , but the cost is a bit high , (MODERATED) Still going to be a lot easier to hook-up with the local Singaporians , that have their own sources for devices , and juice . Good luck .

Hi godspeed1208, I can share my 3 weeks vaping experience with you, but it is purely my own experience. As I found out here, everyone has a slightly different experience.
Yes, with the big puff of vapor coming out of your mouth, it definitely feels like smoking, but to me it feel like having one of those ultra light cigarette. Which make you feel like not having enough and need to light another "one", so therefore may lead to "chain vaping".
At my stage, I haven't nailed down what is suitable for me.
What e-liquid PV/VG% or whether pure PG or VG?
You can read my earlier post, I am having very bad headache from 2 of the flavors I got.
I found out that it can be due to a lot of reasons, your reaction to PG, nic level, certain flavors or you are simply not having enough water.
Yes, when you vape, you need to drink like a Fish. It will dry you up!!! :ohmy:
All these might sound negative to you or to some other members but it is just what I am experiencing now.

Now, on a more Positive note, Yes, it can definitely replace smoking, because even with my headache, I haven't light a cigarette since I started vaping.
I started looking at vaping when I saw someone holding this "electronic pipe" to his mouth and blew out a puff of "smoke" about 3 months ago. For the next few months, I did my research on the internet and come across this forum. I didn't join in to post because I was just a smoker then.
So, gaining more knowledge on PV and some understanding of our country stupid regulation, I devise a plan to order and bring in my kit and juice, at the best I can. I am Solo all the way knowing that help from others may be difficult to find or offered.
Now I am vaping a cloud while replying you. :vapor:
To sum up my grandmother story, It will work if you want it to work. Look more to the positive (overall health) and less of the negative (so much trouble for something that is not 100% like smoking, "applies to people from Singapore only")
There is a lot of obstacles for people like us in Singapore and more will come.
For me now, to make this sustainable I can't go on as a Solo, so I start posting here and make new friends like you.
Help will come, just have to be patience.
ECF is all about extending help to fellow vaper, new or old. but of cos, still need time to get to know you better.
Cheers :toast:

hi Xolox, first of all i want to thank you for taking your time to explain to a newbie like me about the e cigs and the other information you have helped share with me. I still want to go for it cos i want to find a way to change to a better healthier version of smoking ;) . I will try to search around for more info and educate myself and if i get to know of something or sources, i will defenitalye share it with you too. So far i know a friend's friend who has ecigs. his source is from malaysia. i think it's from johor(quite near for us) so if there is any info , i'll keep you updated.
