Switching to Vape after 20 years of tar and stink.

[slojas]

Shiny new member from the prairies here.
My story is fairly typical, got sick of cigarettes, patches, RX's, gum ect, looked into alternatives and found e-sig dotcom and made a made substantial start-up purchase of $325.00 split into 5 different orders to try and get around border problems, I ordered-
-7 E9 batteries (like-Greensmoke,Bloog,KR808D-2) and 1 passthrough
-9 4-packs of carts (36 in various flav)
-7 10ml bottles of 18mg juice (various flav)
-3 usb chargers, 1 wall adapter, 1 car charger, couple usb cables.
-1 portable battery pack
-1 Fancy chest for storage
-3 portable cases
I ordered all this over the 15th, 16th and 17th paying for 1rst class express DHL shipping at a fairy steep price.
Now I sit, stressing about when it all will arrive and if it will get seized or not realizing that after shipping and border fee's I might as well ordered local.
Canadian suppliers with E9 compatible toys,... be prepared to take my money (unless you charge $49.95 for a single E9 battery )

Welcome, hope you get all your new toys.


Sent from my easy chair using brainwaves.

Not sure why Canada doesn't like these things. Make you wonder is they want you stuck on analogs till you die. Or keep forking over money to Big Pharma for stuff that doesn't work.

Hope you get your stuff.

Good for you! It's so much better...you'll see.

All the best to you

You're gonna like it! Keep looking over the forum threads, esp about ejuice and kr808's to read about other vapers' experiences. Have fun!

 

[Governa]

Good luck mate!

 

[Forkeh]

Good luck to you!

My stuff is currently on a plane somewhere over the North Pacific ocean, the anticipation is brutal, thanks for the support.

 

[JmeMcG]

Good Luck to you! Hope you do not have any border issues. You are gonna love vaping and all the great things that happen when you get off the analogs! Welcome to the ECF too, this place is great!

 

[Bradder]

Congratulations and welcome - great place to be for questions and support. Think I just heard you shipment fly over; hope it is on the right course.

Best of luck kicking the stink sticks! Don't be afraid to up the nic if you have cravings.

No update as to whats going on with my order and I want stuff now, so I ordered a 510 starter kit (manual) and a bit of 16mg RY4 from CAN.V.

I figure I'll eventually be getting a 510 anyway and I want to support a local vendor after all I have learned.

If I'm not vaping by Friday evening, churches full of baby seals will burn...

 

[fourmedallions]

Really surprised Canada has come down so hard on them. I really hope you get your kits!

That's top notch service, has it on the way within an hour after ordering, looks like the churches and baby seals may live to see another day.

1 Shipment picked up SHANGHAI - CHINA, PEOPLES REPUBLIC 18:35
(there is 2 more orders that say the exact same thing and one order on regular post and one waiting to ship express)

Order was made on the 17th of Feb, paid for DHL express post 3-4 day shipping
Product Cost US$85.81
Shipping Cost US$37.15
Handling Cost US$3.95
Total US$126.91

3-4 day shipping seems to be a ridiculous exaggeration, out of analogs and going a little crazy, might need to buy one more pack.
Extremely curious what the Beer flavored e-juice is like, chose 11 other flavors to play with as well -B&H, Winston, Pall Mall, Parliament, Regular tobacco, Cherry cigar, 555, Flue cured, Pepsi, Whiskey and Strawberry.

If you place another order, get some eliquids that are not tobacco. You might be pleasantly surprised. A large percentage of new vapers discover that they don't like tobacco eliquid after all. Also, order a few that you don't think you will like, again pleasant surprises may await you.
