Vendors from US

[blindsight]

Hey all,

Just wanted to check with my fellow Canadians if anyone has had experience ordering/shipping from Juicy Vapor and Pink Spot Vapors? I'm on the hunt for unique popular flavors. No disrespect for the vendors from Canada but there's a ton of flavours south of the border which just aren't made up here.

Thanks,
blindsight

I haven't tried those particular vendors but I have had success ordering eliquids from US vendors. There's always going to be a risk that your shipment may be seized...you just have to decide if you can afford to take it.

At this point there is much more of everything vape related available in the US, but cactustgirl is right in that you will be taking the risk of having your order seized or refused when ordering eliquid outside of Canada ... especially eliquid.

Some Canadians report success in receiving their orders, liquid included, while many others were a fail. I suggest you contact the vendor you plan to order from prior to making your order to find out if they have had any recent issues with Canadian customs. Always check the vendors "shipping and return policy" section of the website as many vendors clearly state that they will not ship Eliquid orders to Canada, and some others merely a disclaimer that they will not be held responsible for Eliquid orders to Canada that don't pass customs.

I have ordered hardware successfully from the US however, I have not attempted to order Eliquid. My one attempt to order Eliquid from China was seized by customs however, there has been a funny turn of events with that situation, which I plan to post about later

Good luck to you! .. I hope you can get everything you want

If you decide on one, i think you should ask them how discreet their packaging is. My US orders have been fine, and the packages said gift, no mention of ecigs or even the company name which could've raised suspicion at customs. Personally, for juice, i don't think its worth taking the chance. Say you find your perfect, favorite all day vape. Having to take the risk ordering it every month.. I'd rather not have tried it.

Have to agree with the above posters. It's a bit of a crap shoot ordering from the States. Most of the time you will win but you just have to be prepared to lose a shipment here and there. Also good advice to email the vendor you are interested in and get any info they may have. I'm just relieved that my go-to's are right here in Canada. Just have to find a good 555 and I am set to go. Whew!

I've ordered from juicy vapor when I fairly new into vaping. It got through no problems at all - they are one of those US vendors that label things "properly". I also am a regular customer of backwoods brew and not once since ordering have any shipments been denied. This past one took 3 weeks to get to me, but I'm positive it all had to do with the holiday overload. I'm sure if you shot juicy vapor an email question about canadian shipments they'd be happy to answer any concerns. I found them to be fairly quick with responding to emails.

Hi Cactusgirl! I will definitely start a post about my "customs gate" experience, lol .... It's a bit of a lengthy story so I have to get my typing fingers ready , but I think it could be helpful to some of our fellow Canadian vapers

btw... your avatar is so damn cute! Love it

Hmm ... looking forward to hearing about it, Nikkita6.

The only vender in the states I have ordered more than once from is Backwoods Brew. I ask Don not to mention nicotine on the package. Just simply mark it aroma therapy oils. I have never had a problem ordering from him. Good juices, good service.
If you can manage to order from him try his RY4 or if you want a different vape try the E-joker blend.

Oh sure, tell new guy to try the 2 hardest to get a hold of juices ! I've had the ry4 - it is good stuff for sure. My favorites are casablanca and vanilla and malty toffee. He always labels stuff properly too.

Juicy vapor has a gazillion different flavors to choose from and I found the strawberry bubble gum and chocolate peanut butter good stuff. Any french toast flavor is highly over-rated in my humble opinion. Its way too rich to enjoy as an all day vape. Oooo try the caramel macchiato too.....i'm almost wanting to order now when I think of how good those flavors were.

I have ordered from juicy vapour twice now, the sheer amount of flavors is crazy, the shipping is around $25 but that is express and i have recieved both orders withing 5 days of them being shipped out, latest order i got some Eckto plasma which is like a lime koolaid, River of Slime which is a raspberry type and some Smurph Piss, which i just had to buy so i can say i am vaping it lol, but it is really good, like a blue raspberry....i always track my orders on my phone so when they hit customs and it says it is being inspected i start to sweat They have good deals on sampler packs and many different sizes, but like everyone else has said, it is a crap shoot, dont buy it if you are not prepared to not get it

I've ordered a ton from Juicy and had no troubles. Wasn't really blown away by most of their juices but they had no trouble making it across the border. I still have most of the juice, too. (Can't vape it anymore as I dropped to 12mg shortly after taking advantage of some of their huge sales last summer, and the juices I ordered are all 24mg.)

Thanks for all the awesome feedback everyone. I will have to wait until 2012 to order. Depending on who I order from I will let you know the results. Have a Happy New Year everyone! Vape on!
