You probably already know this but in Australia (at least in NSW) it's legal to import nicotine for personal use. You can import up to a 3 month supply which is pretty vague (I've never had an issue importing a litre bottle of 100mg from somewhere like my freedom smokes..). The law as it stands is stupid and only prevents us being able to better support local vape businesses...

ok for those who dont know in australia nicotine is a Schedule 7 Poison and cannot be sold in Australia..but the silly thing i keep asking is then how do they sell cigarettes here for about $25 a pack if nicotine is a poison and is illegal to be sold in australia? again i know this is a united states website and you folks may not care but for this american living in australia it really chaps my rear ( line from family guy )

It's because of the Money.

If you think it's gonna get worse, order what you can now! If you can order 1litre nic now get a few friends to order it for you as well, I'm worried about Canada and the way things are going, Jan 1st 2016 they will be the same as smoking except in vape shops, Jan 1st 2017 vape Shops won't be able to display gear or flavor lists, basically you'll have to know what you want before you go in. near the end of 2016 I plan on ordering tonnes of Nic and lots of rolls Kanthal or whatever were using at that time :D

Luckily VG is pretty much available everywhere and PG is available at farm supply stores by the gallon although it wouldn't surprise me if the .gov made them add something to make it un-vapable.

So sorry, Tony. We're in it together--maybe they will see the light, eventually.

Oh, and actually, technically, this is a British forum. :)

Sounds like government spouting .... really. But if you want to still get a throat hit from vaping but in some everclear with your liquid works a great. But seriously .... what the government have said! Please explain to me what nicotine does that is so bad for me
It's now scientifically proven that's its not even the most adictive chemical in smoking. Either they back up their argument or it just proves they want your money.
Everclear is probably illegal in Australia also....

Typical politics on both sides here in the states which I am sure happens in other countries. Sad but true.

Boehner: Mine asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. I did it on the House floor which I regret and I should not have done, it's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that's gone on here for a long time.

Were the checks from tobacco companies?

Boehner: Ahh, I think if my memory serves me correctly, I think it was a tobacco company, yes.

For emphasis "but it's a practice that's gone on here for a long time."

Term limits people.

Sorry about that.. it bugs me to no end.

I hadn't thought of that. Guess my fridge is about to get really full...

I could show you the caustic self righteous letter I received back from Diane Feinstein?

No need. I got the same one... :lol:

But now the action is in Sacramento--e-cigs are now tobacco products and will be taxed just like regular cigarettes--and cigarette tax in going up by almost 3 bucks per pack. This has nothing to do with Feinstein.

They are about to vote soon. Brace yourself.

Oh Yes, Bracing ones self is very important. One foot slightly backwards, don`t lock the elbows, and push that stock into your shoulder like its part of you (if applicable).

Wow... that sucks about the upcoming legislation. Not even being able to display a flavor list?!? That's crap... as for stocking up on Kanthal though... you shouldn't have to worry about that too much. Kanthal and Nichrome are standard wire for several electronics purposes. It is merely a resistance wire. Just think of it as an 'in-line resistor' for a circuit. But even the nickel and titanium wire (for TC builds) should stay readily available as a lot of that is used in jewelry making...

I'm confused - I bring in a 120ml of 100mg Nic every time I visit with no problems. I declare it and everything. It's perfectly legal to do so and legal for anyone to order import it or import Nic juices from overseas. And yes there's some sort of limit, but it's very generous and very vague which is why the limit doesn't get enforced. Admittedly I dont know what's happening in Queensland. Are they going to ban the ability to buy Nic from overseas Australia wide?
