Vaping in Perth.

[Kerplouski]

Hey All! : D

i'm new to vaping and was wondering if anyone here knows what vaping is like in the public of Perth, Western Australia?
i've only just recently got a starter kit and i've only been vaping inside the house.
i would LOVE to be able to go outside and vape away, but i'm so scared of being fined or worse, having my PV confiscated!
Any advice or experience would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance : )

Welcome , but I suppose you could call a police station , and ask , if there are any laws against the use of e-cigs . Good Luck .

Sounds good. I just hope it's more common in Perth than I think.
Thanks for the advice! : )

No problemo , I would guess that it's maybe not allowed , where regular smoking is not allowed . But I'm just guessing . Although there are places , here in the states that have banned cigarettes on the beach , in certain cities . I was just up in Seattle a few weeks ago , and cigarettes are pretty much banned everywhere , but I walked through the big farmer's market up there , vaping away , and no one said anything to me .

Hello Kerplouski and Welcome to ECF,

Ecigs are not banned or illegal in Australia, the Sale of Nicotine is. You are permitted to import/ use nicotine liquid for your own personal use. In my experience Perth cops are pretty laid back most of the time, unless you're drinking & driving or misbehaving. As long as you don't try and sell it to the Officer should you ever get stopped and questioned over it, you'll be fine.

I imagine you would get a few funny looks from the public, more out of curiosity than anything else, although, I wouldn't try vaping inside the shopping malls - I think that would be asking for trouble. We have quite a few ECF members based in Perth, I'm surprised you haven't noticed other vapers around the cafe strips.

I saw someone the other day before walking into the shops! walked right into a lovely vanilla cloud! hahahaha
i guess now that i've got one, i'm becoming more aware of cigarettes lighting up colours other than the norm and smelling flavoured vapour everywhere, whereas before, i only saw people with analogs
Thanks Meli! Can't wait to go out and vape publicly!
