Importing vapes?

[veritas629]

I know AUS has banned nicotine tapes, but what is the deal with dry herb vapes? Can I simply order one from the US or am I running the risk it'll get confiscated at Customs? Unlike seeds, a portable vape (e.g. Arizer Solo III) wouldn't look much different in a scanner than a million other small electronic devices people buy online.

Anyone have some first hand experience ordering a vape from overseas recently?

This is where I got mine. You don’t have to import.

ARIZER SOLO III VAPORISER - Carina Day & Night Pharmacy

Yeah go through Carina pharmacy.
Why bother running the gauntlet and potentially having your $600+ vape confiscated...?

 

[veritas629]

Wow, thanks for the link! I googled around and that pharmacy site never came up. My Arizer GO got dropped hard at a party and never woke up.

got my Solo II from there and they carry spare tubes as well

 

[veritas629]

I'm a very happy camper. New Solo III with a couple extra long stems are on the way. Silly me, I was shopping at the online vape and bong shops ... should have checked with the real drug dealers!

Partially on the subject. I got these Ball Vape's come in from China last week, and a injector kit from the US, earlier in the year..

 

[veritas629]

Indy, when you say Injector Kit, do you mean a Flowerpot vape or a similar device?

I have an OH Freight Train, but have been drooling over one of the fancy Flowerpots. I can stomach the high price for a quality tool that will last many years, but it would be heartbreaking to lose it to the Customs jerks!

@veritas629 Yeah, pretty well much. Seeing you have the Freight Train kit, you should be set, as it was at the forefront a couple of years back. I haven't followed the scene for a good six month, but the Ruby Twist was all the rave earlier this year

As you're probably aware. Avoid the Chinese junk. I initially compiled a kit off Ali Express that proved to be well below par. It's definitely a case of you get what you pay for. I managed to dial the PID temp down an extra 100 F compared to the Chinese garbage, to get a hit.

EDIT: Another little tip i've learnt along the way, is the 3mm Ruby Balls seem to better at retaining heat than the 5mm ones. Also, let it heat up for a good 15 minutes before using it.
