Newbie in Hong Kong

[southie161]

Hi All!
I'm a new joiner to this group & to the ECForum... I've been doing a lot of research & getting confused at times with all the acronyms, terms etc...it's actually pretty fun! I am desperately trying to get off the analogs...my breathing is labored at times, my clothes stink, my apartment office windows need constant cleaning etc etc...I can't take the analogs anymore...they're killing me in so many ways.
My dilemma is that I have been searching so many sites to buy either a starter kit...or go right to an advanced mod...and I'm not sure who actually can get things/products to HK.
So...I'm seeking advice on the best site to buy a nice mod from...and juice. I really don't care about the cost as I'd rather go to something that will give me a great experience from the get-go. I've watched a lot of videos by "IndoorSmokers" on You Tube...wow that guy has some fierce gear & I'm jealous.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...I can't wait to smoke my last analog
Cheers
Southie161

Hi southie161

Welcome to ECF!

I do not know what sites might be best for getting your gear through to you. You might check in some of the international forums, you won't be able to post in the forums until you have 5 posts and the system updates. But they might have helpful information if someone doesn't have an answer for you here.

Good luck, I hope you're able to get your kit. It worked for me and so many other people, when nothing else did. It's a shame that it has to so hard to get sometimes.

Hi
Thanks for your encouragement Emily! I really appreciate it. I'm sure I'll find a way...even if I have to get on a plane to Manila to visit the shops there ;-)

Hello and welcome!

Below are some blog posts by ECF member Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments.
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Good luck in your search for the perfect vape!

There used to be a shop in Golden Arcade in Sham Shui Po selling no nicotine e-cigs. When you go in the entrance across from McDonalds it was on the right hand side. I haven't been there in two years so unknown if still there. If that doesn't work we would be happy to have you in Philippines. Be warned that trying to bring any nicotine e-juice into Hong Kong is very risky.

Thanks Susan...I nee to get up to speed quickly and this certanly helps a LOT! You're very kind to respond ;-)

Hi Singaw...I know the place...but the owner wasn't very discreet and they closed him down ;-(((
There may be other places but it's all very secretive for good reason!

Too bad, he didn't have much but sometimes a little is better than nothing.

I suggest checking international forums, but welcome and I wish you the best on getting off those stinkies. quality of life improves so much afterwards. you'll get there.

buy from Taobao,the largest shopping site in China. vision and kanger have their shop there,which are quite good for a newbie.
Also be careful because there are many fake products.
Shipping to HK takes only one day,because most of the e cig sellers are located in Shenzhen.

Am I being stupid, but can HK not order from Fasttech?

(OK, so liquids are illegal....but we're not talking about liquids)..

I know nothing about your location but find my self wanting to say HI!!! from Connecticut in the United States AND tell you about psardo on youtube because you mentioned indoorsmokers. I would also watch riptrippers if you want to get into coil building and dripping!

Thanks Winson...I'll check it out!! ;-)

Fasttech has excellent customer service. I would contact them directly via their website. I am in Asia and I order from them-they really have awesome customer service! Ask them if there is anywhere you can go and pick stuff up. They will probably be hesitant to give out their physical address, as liquids are completely illegal in HK, which is interesting because they do major business!

As for gear, I would suggest starting out with Vision Spinner batteries with a kanger mini protank. That's what I started with and I was off analogs in a day. I have since upgraded to a Sigelei 20w, which I love, and I'm buiding my own coils on a kayfun. I still use my Spinners when I'm out and about because the Sigelei is just too big to walk around with and it gets way too many stares for my taste.

Hi Cooperator..
Thanks for the info. I've seen that site but wasn't sure...you know how some of these things can be sketchy...so it's good to hear that you've had good luck.

I'll also check out the Vision Spinner...looking forward to getting into all the fun stuff as time passes.
MANY THANKS

I have ordered from FastTech as well, shipping to the United States, and still got decent delivery time, IMHO. I was looking mainly for mods when I was there, but they do also have starter kits. Like stated above, Vision makes good products, and Kanger too. If you can't find anyone to sell you liquids in Hong Kong, it isn't very hard to make your own, assuming you can procure the ingredients. Best of luck in your hunt for equipment, and good luck getting off the analogs!

Did you get something worked out with Fasttech? I'm really curious whether or not you can do a pick-up from them living in HK. I used to live there and for vaping sake, I'm glad I no longer do
