The latest blow-in to ECF

[Lost in Oz]

Hi all. I'm so new here you can practically smell the 'greenness' of me. Or that could be because I'm Irish! I'm on DAY 4 of my freedom from 'analogs'. Gotta love all the new words I'm learning! so I knitted myself out with an eGo One starter kit, some Nic free juices because I live in Australia and that's the way we have to do it. (But because of my epic research skills also have a selection of imported American juices to work with )

Day 4 seems to be going better than days 2 and 3 when my juices tasted crap, I got awful heartburn and just felt really let down. But thanks to my 2 teenagers encouraging me and a sort of new determination to quit cigs for good, I'm sticking with it.

So hello and thanks for reading. There's so much info here so glad I stumbled into this brave new world!

Thanks for the links/info had a read of those yesterday!

 

[DavidOck]

Welcome aboard, Oz! You've made a good choice to switch.

As mentioned, lots of support here, and lots of ways to get nic even there

Hello and welcome to the forum @Lost in Oz. Keep up the good work!

Two other forums you may want to look at when you have questions on purchasing juice in Oz.

• Aussie Vapers
• Vapers Cafe

Tagging @Wolfenstark as he's from Perth.

Thanks awesome members! happy with my eGo one for now but will probably change down the track! Finding the sweet juices I ordered, suckered in by their delicious names, are a bit too sweet atm so may order some more tobacco-y or non sweet for my next order. Waiting time and 'will they get through customs' time is the hard part haha

Hello and Welcome Lost in Oz.
I see you know about get g juice with nic from the USA , don't have to worry that much about the three month supply as theres no actual amount for that and unless you order a huge amount No one should mind. Unless your in QLD.

 

[Wolfenstark]

I've only had one package looked at after entering the country by the department of agriculture. Thought it was a bio hazard and they kept it for two weeks but I eventually got the package with all items.

ETA - Most deliveries for me take two weeks from the USA , probably quicker if your on the east coast.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Leave any questions In here if you want , I'll be back later - or Susan~S knows all

 

[Lost in Oz]

Brilliant thanks wolfenstark. I am in Qld but so far have had 2 deliveries no problems unless I'm on a watch list and get a dawn raid but doubt I'd be worth the trouble!

Welcome to ECF Lost in Oz, make yourself right at home

 

[Lost in Oz]

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone Day 5 just about over and I'm really surprised that the big madness that gnaws away at the thoughts of no cigs is nowhere in sight! The combination of the vaping action itself and the Nic are definitely working so far. Hope this helps any other newbies thinking of taking the plunge.

 

[DavidOck]

Quite so, Oz. The nic and the action. And getting a flavor (or flavorS) that one likes. Key factors to success, along with having backups to everything, so if (when) something breaks / wears out, you're not left without the means to vape!

 

[Bunnykiller]

look into Heathers Heavenly Vapes....

 

[Lost in Oz]

Thanks DavidOck I've got a backup didn't start til I had haha! And bunnykiller ive been to the HHV site checking out their flavours. Will probs go for a couple of tester sets first

 

[DavidOck]

Good to start with the "testers" to narrow down to some flavors you really like. Being in Ozland, you probably don't have a local shop with a tasting bar, which is another good way to narrow the field.

And don't be averse to trying all sorts of different flavors. One of the (many) good things about vaping is that we're NOT limited to plain tobacco or menthol!

Welcome to the fold I had bad heartburn when I first started too, so I can understand....Don't give up though, it's worth it!
