Ordering non-Chinese E-Liquid mixes

[mooody]

Not sure if anyone has tried to order liquid from the USA mixers, so I’ve decided to give it a go.
I’ve emailed

• Ms T’s Bakery (will sent via USPS shipping Priority mail, $15)

• Gourmet Vapor (Will not send flavours with nicotine, however offered 50% off flavours without nicotine for international orders, ready to mix your flavourless nicotine in)

• Johnson Creek (won't send to Australia, because of local law)

I’ve just ordered from Ms T so far, 10 bottles (5x15ml, 5x6ml…all 24mg), so we’ll see what customs thinks about that! I asked her to declare them as ‘scented oils’. Have to order by email, since the site doesn’t have an international shipping option (does paypal and credit card). I expect it to be 2-3 weeks, taking the cheaper USPS shipping option ( I think there’s one cheaper...slow boat to china, option). I’m her first Aussie customer

I might try Gourmet Vapor when I learn more about mixing what with whom.

I might try Johnson Creek after the Ms T order.

I’ll post my results in this thread. Might be a good reference thread for Aussies, thinking of ordering something different then the off-the-shelf Dekang/Boge. So if you want to add your experiences with other suppliers outside of China, please post here.

I'm sorry to say, I/we won't be trying any Johnson Creek, just recieved an email from them -_-

Hello there!

Thanks for your email. I'm so sorry to report that due to a policy of the Department of Health and Ageing, we are no longer able to ship to Australian addresses. We look forward to the day we can ship to Australia, but we're stuck for now. Especially in this new and misunderstood industry, we must operate responsibly and within the law. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reply directly to this email. Once again I offer our sincerest apologies. Thanks for your email and have a good week!

Mad Vapes emailed me back saying they are currently setting up a non-nico site for International orders. grrr
I only wanted mod bits and pieces (and protected 3v cr123a) anyway but it seems like a bit of a pattern emerging, pussies!
I would ship the nic!

[Dogsbody]

Ok, emailed a whole heap of other e-liquids companies from the states

Halo (not shipping internationally, but plan to soon...be interesting to see if Australia is left out)

Rath (yes)

vapor4life (still do...$25 flat shipping)

Ecopure (sadly...No, we have had packages sent back by customs so we stopped sending to Autralia. Sorry!)

Going to try vapor4life, since they have a lot of great reviews happening for them right now

I get my EcoPure from The E-cig Shop in the UK. Shipping is 6 pounds.

 

[mooody]

Hmmm, ok...I'll keep that in mind when next round comes to order E-liquid. I'm quite keen to try ecopure. Thanks a heap!

edit: Question-is that the http://www.e-cigs.co.uk/store/ or the http://e-cigshop.net/ or neither?

any update on this? Have you gotten anything or heard anything from the company you ordered from? When you do get your stuff - if you're in Sydney, I'd be interested in trying some of your juices... might even buy a bottle off you

Guys, if you're looking for an Oz based flavour concentrate supplier, Inspired by Chocolate stock some nice Lorann Flavours:

I placed an order today for Banana Creme, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Musk & Watermelon and considering that it's Sunday, I was surprised that Brian & Catherine processed my order already and are sending it out tomorrow.

They're in Gympie QLD (a few hours away from me) so with any luck, I'll be reporting back mid week to let you know if the flavours mix well with my Chinese sourced VG nic.

cool, thanks SIN.
I will give them a go next time.

Their prices are kinda expensive... for a 3ml bottle it's $2.50, without nicotine, in comparison to 10mls for $2.50 from China, WITH nicotine. Maybe if their oils are amazing, I could consider grabbing a few bottles to mix in with my nicotine, (maybe order some bottles of 24 or something,) so please post back when you get the stuff and let us know what you think!

The Lorann flavours are really not expensive. They are concentrated flavour essences used in candy & chocolate making. A few drops in glycerol will give you something similar to the flavoured juice you might buy at a higher price. Add some plain nic juice to mix to your preferred strength. If you want some low or zero nic then they are very economical and they are perfect for inventing your own flavours.


I bought a few flavours but havn't tried them all yet. I do like the Pina Colada, Champagne & Peach.

whoops, double post.

From the Ecig store when ordering Ecopure:

Hi,

I have been talking to the people at Intellicig & they have told me that e-cigs & liquids etc are actually banned in Australia. They do not supply to Austaralia at all.

Now we have 2 options.

1 - I can refund your purchase straight away.

2 - I can despatch the order tomorrow. But if the order is stopped or rejected by Australian Customs then I can only refund you when I receive the order back. If the order gets through & reaches you then thats OK.

I have posted smaller orders to Australia before & have not had anything rejected before but then there is always a first time.

If you could let me know your thoughts then I know what to do.

It was nice of Andy to at least try the option of trying to get it through. If it doesn't it puts him out. At least I don't get a non-negotiable NO!. So I've emailed and said put it through.

My package arrived today . WOW they only sent it yesterday - what a nice change and with shipping ($5.50) the whole lot only came to $18.60

So far I've only tried 2 out of the 5 flavours I ordered and you should smell each one - yum!

Bubble Gum:

I mixed up 5ml to sample (60% 36mg VG, 20% Bubble Gum Concentrate & 20% straight VG) to end up at around 21mg nic - Vaped all arvo on a new M401 atty & cart.

It's very much like the original Hubba Bubba flavour and you could almost blow bubbles - the taste is that convincing!

Do you like the smell of those Banana Lollies? that's what the Banana Creme reminds me of (thank god it wasn't Monkey Vomit flavour)

I mixed up 10ml because the concentrate was twice as strong as the bubble gum. 60% 36mg VG, 10% Banana Creme Concentrate & 30% straight VG did the trick for me.

I've been vaping it all night & just can't put it down but the smell of the Musk, Watermelon & Cotton Candy is too tempting so they will be tomorrow's experiments!

I'll keep you posted

 

[mooody]

Great, thanks for the update SIN. I have some tastless strong Dekang and Ecopure coming, and will more then likely order flavours from that site you mentioned. I look foward to doing a bit of mixing on your reviews!

While looking through this forum, found a great post on ordering Lorann Flavours. While the taste and strength is based on individual's tastes, it would be useful to find out which flavours are oil (no-no), and which are water soluable (most seem to be).

.

They arn't illegal as such, only banned for sale in Australia. They are still legal to import and use in personal quantity's. In fact a relative who works for Aus Customs uses a 510 and 901 at work all the time.
