Hello,

I am 32yrs old from Brunei. I've been smoking since I was 19. Been trying to quit smoking for a year now and I find it very hard, recently Ive just come across this e-cig/vaping stuff and it looks very positive and a good way to quit smoking, I think other than the nicotine addtion, its the 'act of smoking' too which I find i hard to stop. The amount of products; tubes, batteries, juices, mods etc are so overwhelming but ive been doing a lot of surfing and reading on this site about where to get started, what to buy first, flavour, maintenance. very comprehensive, well i still have a lot to absorb since its all new to me. Since I live in the other side of the world, I wonder if would they're able to ship such products internationally since it also contains liquid (or some sort of chemical?)

Nice to meet you all.
Bob

Don't know what the laws are regarding e-cigs in Brunei but you may want to check out Heavens Gifts, Health Cabin, EastMall and BestEcig. I've used all of them and have had no problems and if you select EMS shipping it's a lot faster. You may also want to read through "The Wonderful World of Vaping" in the ECF Library to learn the differences between all the equipment and get an idea of where to start.

WElcome! Indeed, there's a lot of information to absorb, but the more the merrier, I always say, as it helps you make the most informed decision you can about what you think will work for you.

As for shipping to Brunei, I don't see why not, although I do not know the situation on E-liquid and electronic cigarettes where you are. Brunei is a sovereign state on Borneo, so you will have to check with local laws regarding the sale, possession and importation of liquids containing nicotine. Presuming that it is legal where you are you should be able to order from any company that ships internationally. You're also south of China, where E-cigarettes were invented, so you shouldn't have any problems ordering from any reputable Chinese vendors, as well.

Welcome!

Here's a good place to get basic info Beginners E-Cig Tutorial

It can seem very complicated. My advice is keep it simple, start with one kit and get some practice. It may take a while to find a juice flavor you like. Have patience. Many of us have been long time smokers who quit successfully using e-cigs, 30 years smoking for me and I'm off.

We buy hardware and juice internationally all the time, but some countries ban the sale of e-cig, like HK and Singapore, and local Customs Office may vary, so check your local laws.

I know people in Canada that just have the suppliers mark the shipment as aromatherapy supplies, and it gets through check points all the time for them...If you find out it is illegal, see what the penalty is, and if it isn't anything to big or scary, you might want to try that...Just leave a comment or send an email to whoever you are buying it all form if that's the case

I've had no trouble with this so far, although I do know of one or two here who have ran afoul of surprise customs inspections.

I've got a shipment of nic liquid and some PG/VG on the way as we speak, so I'm crossing fingers, toes, and other body parts not normally known for being so articulate that it crosses without any issue. RTS Vapes do say they specifically ship to Canada, and they must be well aware of the restrictions here, so I have to presume they'll be marking it accordingly. Even so I put a note on the order to do so.

See it's unfortunate people are weird and crazy in the world...I'd simply just mark it as a personal package and lie entirely on the thign and not use a business name as the sender if everyone wasn't so quick to complain, rat out, and sue over ridonkulous things

Hi Bob and welcome
I did a quick google and came across this site Legal Trends | Vapers Network it states that sales prohibited but i dunno how it works for importing

you may also find this thread helpful ECF

if you do buy from Heavens Gifts maybe you could buy the e-cig in two separate orders ...package one with batteries juice etc and then package two with atomisers... then no one package actually contains a complete e-cig... dunno just an idea

good luck tho vaping is a great way to stop smoking and SO easy
