E-cigarette, anyone purchased and cleared?

[3vovle]

Hi all,

I'm interested in purchasing online, but i want to know anyone who purchase recently and cleared custom got theirs from?

I dont understand what zeng hu is thinking, confiscating this... but hack, I'm going to buy it anyway.

BTW I'm a smoker, so this is going to help, not hurt.

Any advise is welcome! Cheers mates~

The last thread about E cigarettes was closed by the mods. I don't think SOFT encourages smoking..

I hope I'm not bringing the wrong message across. I'm against picking up smoking also. It's a mistake many smokers had made in the past. Quitting is easy for those who dont smoke to say.

This is my first step, probably (and hopefully) the last to quit completely after almost 15 years of smoking close to a pack a day.

I've been cutting down to 2-3 day per pack, but it's just now good enough.

I can understand if the mod feels that this thread is a threat. But perhaps those who can help can pm me.

Thank you for your help!

Really hope you can kick the habit

Anyway, I don't think customs here will allow us to bring such stuff in, correct me if I'm wrong. You can always check when them if in doubt before purchasing.

It's a grey spot in the rulebook. There's no direct ban on e-cigarettes. But, they will still confiscate if they see it. No fines what so ever... which is funny because i know my country dont just confiscate things. It usually comes with a nice handsome fine as well...

I've been trying to quit the habit for years too bro, 16 years of smoking already, tried to quit at least 4 times. This looks like a good alternative and I never heard of it till now when I googgled it after reading your post, hahah.

Yeah, quitting is a pain when you cant find any alternative (Jogging? Come on...)

awhile back, someone's purchase got stop and was confiscated at the custom with no refund what so ever. However, that's the only one case i've heard of (or was able to google out).

I'm willing to take the risk of my product being stopped. But I want to minimize that risk. If this $150+ can change my life for the better, I'm willing to try.

I went through it the hard way. Been smoking for 7 years and I decided to go cold turkey. Took lots of self control and determination, but I managed to quit. Have not been smoking for more than 10 years now. I picked up smoking at a very early age =\

If you wanna take the risk and import it in, you can try :mrgreen: If you're lucky, it'll get through. Some of my friends managed to get it through..good luck on quitting smoking

Pardon my noobness guys, but whats an e-cigaretter O.O?

 

[mrforum]

not worth it dont buy. my e-cig spoil, like crap.

stick to tobacco.

 

[amnesiac]

Hmm, why not try nicotine patches or nicorette gum if you wanna quit smoking, it will help to a certain extent I guess..

 

[AEnimic]

I want the e-cig! Haha! Eventhough I'm not a smoke, that sh!t is cool.

Actually I personally don't think it would help certain smokers. Like for me I smoke out of habit, and to kill time. Only on very rare occasions do i smoke to 'relieve stress' or because the nicotine kills me.

I know some people do suffer from the nicotine effects but for people like me, the nicotine patch and gum will only quell the nicotine addiction, it will not help much with the desire, comfort and familiarity of holding a cigarette in my fingers and slowly breathing out the smoke.

Tim :

Haha yes I get what you mean..The patches and gum are not 100% effective. If a smoker really wants to quit smoking, I guess he has to rely mostly on his will power and determination, and support from family and friends. That's how I did it. :mrgreen:

mrforum : Dude, he's trying to quit, how would sticking to tabacco help...
ya Its all in the will power i guess.

 

[mrforum]

it doesnt work la. trust me..

 

[edyeo123]

i thought e-cig has a certain kind of chemical that harms the body?

Nicotine gum is god awfully disgusting.

I thank many for your tips on quitting. But I'm interested in the purchase of the e-cig to "ease in". Like some would mention, smokers isnt always addicted to the nicotine or tobacco. I not i'm a strong addict for nicotine. But it's a strong habit for me to smoke.

I just need to smoke when I'm in deep thoughts, bored, stressed or what not. I can go without cigarettes for days if I'm keeping myself buzy. Like while in production, or such.

@mrforum
How long you use? And which brand of e-cig was that?
