Hmmm. Interesting. I have been vaping for over a week now and had no difficulty transitioning to e-cigs. However I was smoking American Spirits, which are supposed to be additive free. I wonder if that has anything to do with it, in the same way roll your own does.

Possibly. On the rare occasion I did smoke tailors, they were Black Hawks, which are also additive-free.

There are tailor-made cigs out there without additives - most people just don't smoke them. They're lesser known, and the bigger names have addictive additives, so people tend to find their brand and stick to it.

That's how I was with Lucky Strike, before I just couldn't afford it anymore.

Always good to see another Aussie Sounds like you've already recieved some great advice, you started right by researching well first unlike me who jumped in and grabbed an Egar because it was sold here and would get to me quick, a costly mistake lol. 6 puffs and I have a dead unit lol. I quickly found this site though and now have an Janty Ergo and a sabertouch 5v on the way, I just hate the wait

hey there VP,

Nice to meet you.

I notice that the very few Aussie sites don't even sell liquids with nicotine in them so even if I were to buy a kit from ecigz or one of the other Aussie sites, I would have to wait to get juice with nicotine in it from the states.

I think I am going to form a new political party called e-cigs united and have this silly ban removed!

Are we even allowed to import Nicotine juices from the US?

From what I've read it's a bit of a grey area, noone has had issues that I know of and as far as I'm aware customs don't have a way of testing for nicotine content (yet).
Actually I lie, I know of a merchant who had an 80L drum of pure nicotine stopped by customs but as long as it's small amounts for personal use I don't see a prob. Heck I've brought a lot worse into the country without an issue

 

[VPDownunder]

Btw I'll be the first to sign up, it's a ridiculous ban on potentially life saving devices

welcome, you cant go wrong if you listen to the guys on here they are always 100% spot on.
Even if you may think its a stupid thing to ask they will answer.

There is a lot of good info on this site about bans and fighting them. Check out the topics on ecf for more info on it.

Welcome to ecf and vaping.

hey Vp,

Glad to hear we can import this stuff. I feel betrayed by our government. Finally a product comes onto the market that can be a healthy substitute for smoking and they go and ban it? WTF? Their concern over nicotine bottles is hogwash.

With this initial exuberance I've got over E-cigs I wouldn't be surprised if all the e-liquids and juices I buy don't ad up to 80 kgs.

It's all a matter of $$, since it contains no tobacco they can't put their huge tax on it, they'd rather you smoke analogues so they can tax the .... out of you

Very good, VPDwnunder, you go to the head of the class. Your government doesn't care any more about you than mine does for me, LOL. We used to run our governments, but now they run us. Such a world we live in.
