Travel and Vaping Worldwide Bail-out Service?

[Caesarea]

The rest of the TRAVEL & E-CIG forum threads deal almost exclusively with air travel and airports.

There are few clues as to where you can restock if you have lost your vaping gear in transit, or simply bottled it, regarding taking it through security.

It seems to me that an emergency list of country by country supplier contacts where you could restock rapidly would be a great help.

Or even a firm specialising in rapid courier service for travellers to specific countries.

shows US UK CANADA EU CHINA NETHERLANDS GERMANY AUSTRALIA SOUTH AFRICA PORTUGAL ESTONIA and then WHOLESALERS, mainly working from CHINA.

Perhaps suppliers could collaborate to produce an emergency service worldwide contact list for travellers?

Or is this just a daft idea?

Someone wrote that it would make so much sense if e-cigs were universally accepted and sold in airports both pre- and post security and on board.

And I 've gone as far as to ask the salespeople for e-cigs in the duty free shops then do a bit of gentle education on what they are.

But y'know people are gonna be happier if there is a quick bail-out opportunity or even several in the country they are holidaying in.

Luggage gets lost. Thieves abound. Equipment packs up. Sh.. happens.

So in that hapless tourist’s shoes I'd be glad to have a number or two to call.

Any ideas?

There is a growing list of shops who sell NJoy and Ruyan Jazz in multiple locations across this country.

Hi there Sherid,
Yes I think tourists in the USA and Uk would be Ok, as well as tourists in China!

But what if one of us went to Spain or Egypt? And lost their luggage. Wouldn't it be handy to go to ECF and look up a number to ring for FAST service?


Just a thought,

There is a supplier in Egypt - I can't remember who though. A country listing would be super handy

This is a GREAT idea. I never considered what I would do if my spares failed, or were lost or stolen.

Yes, Wildsky, I stumbled across an Intellicig contact for Egypt, but only by sheer chance.

I do think travellers could benefit from having a bail-out number to ring.

I think any supplier could increase sales and reputation if they had a 24/7 emergency number with overnight shipping. A bit expensive? Yes, but I would pay the extra charges if I were out of the country for weeks or months, and my e-cigs disappeared unexpectedly.

I would have bought from one of the South African suppliers when I was there in Feb. Geesh! I had to smoke analogs because I didn't have enough carts, and no liquid for the flights back.

Yes, Wildsky, it is an emergency all right if it happens to us...analogs would be a disaster as far as I'm concerned.

But this is nowhere near a worldwide emergency service.

Exactly my thought about a 24/7 emergency service. I'll bet you would have used it.
