Vaping in Aus

[shadoe67]

Greetings all
Been vaping since it’s inception, god it’s come a long way. Currently go back and forth between a SMOK stick v8 and my fantastic Uwell Nunchaku. Moved to Australia from Canada 6 years ago and .... it’s SO hard to find any brick and mortar shops that sell anything of any use. Not to mention the no nicotine in the juice laws this country is so lagging behind. I order my juice with nicotine from New Zealand and then order my other juice online from various Aussie suppliers. In the big cities there are some decent vape shops, but I live rurally so options are super limited. Any other aussies out there with favourite spots to make your purchases online?
Cheers ✌

Sounds pretty harsh over there. You might want to make the leap into DIY juice. That way you can just make more and not have to pay that shipping all the time from NZ.

Hi shadoe.
Yeah, the laws in this country suck. It just feels as if there's this constant threat that, at any moment, they might push to ban vaping altogether. The reality is, everybody needs to be politically active about *something* at some point of their lives, otherwise the system just rolls on doing what its going to do, & we can't really complain if we didn't fight... But I digress..

I typically use 3 online retailers to get what I need: Vapeking, Vaporeyes NZ & Vaporeyes AU.
I use Vaporeyes NZ for nicotine base. Done 3 orders with them now, & they've been expedient each time.

We did have a bricks & mortar store open up here in far Western Sydney not long before I started vaping, & I wanted to support their business, however after a few visits, it became apparent that they weren't interested in supporting people mixing their own, & since they couldn't keep any proper tobacco flavours in stock, I didn't see the point in going there if I couldn't buy what I wanted. Lack of competition in the immediate area doesn't really help either.

I totally recommend getting into mixing your own. It's fun, you make what you want, you learn in the process, & you save even more dosh. The only thing scary about (safely!) handling nicotine is running out.

As a fellow aussie here hashy what i fear is that govco may do the opposite of banning.given our oz govco's love of the so called "australia tax" and the fact they will exploit it any chance they get,i think once they realize theres a buck to be made they will tax it to death as they have with cigarettes under the guise of health when they know too well that all they are doing is sending smokers broke,nothing else.

But.. 'Scumo' can make up the difference selling weapons to Saudi Arabia....
Okay that was mean..But true..

Yeah. You're absolutely right. They will. They're already playing a game of 'the unknown dangers of asbest.. uhh vaping', & too many people in the general public have told me that 'I've heard that it's WORSE than smoking', so they're obviously already primed... It worries me, however if I worry too much, I lose myself.
