yes, this is a forum to help vapers
however we can not help if the country that you are residing in has banned vaping
I knew that it was banned in singapore from past complaints from people that live there
we can not aid in finding blackmarket ways to buy them...we can aid in advice about vaping, but as for helping you to find ways around the laws there, we aren't really able to post such things.
Now there are obvious loopholes, as you said, you brought your vape with you through customs
and I myself have been in places where it is illegal to smoke or vape in public but you can bring it through customs for personal use within your own home (or hotel room) but if caught in public it will be confiscated and you could be arrested or fined, be thankful that all that happened was they took it away....
now all that being said, I will say that I know a lot of folks place orders online, but there again you run the risk of it being confiscated at import and possibly being fined for importing it. So that is your decision to make if you wish to run that risk....
however we are more than happy to help you in learning about vaping and if you leave singapore and are in a country that it's not illegal, we will be more than happy to help direct you to places to buy items but unfortunately we aren't really going to be able to help much in that aspect currently.
