Hello!
I'm new to the site. I'm not yet a vaper but I do wish to make the switch.
I've done a fair bit of on-line research in the past few weeks and even spoken with a rep from Health Canada regarding the ban and what it entails. I know that I can't get any product containing nicotine from outside the country but I'm not clear about e-juice containing nicotine from Canadian suppliers.
The nicotine isn't essential for me. Between 15-20 years ago, while visiting Ontario, I bought a cigarette substitute that was basically just a tube with a kind of filter in it that delivered a menthol cig flavour and provided a realistic draw when inhaling. That alone kept me from going insane for a week without cancer sticks. Unfortunately I never found them anywhere ever again.
When the Nicorette inhaler finally reached Canada I was elated...until I tried it.
It looks like a tampon applicator, the draw is nothing like the real thing and I could actually feel the nicotine hit and burn the back of my throat. I couldn't even force myself to finish the first cartridge.
Bottom line, nicotine is apparently less important to me than the ritual so I'm extremely hopeful about vaping.
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia where there don't appear to be any stores that carry these (I've checked the dedicated tobacco shops) so my search continues on-line for the model and colour I'm hoping to buy.
Wish me luck!
