1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Whats up yall. This is my first post but I've been reading this board for a year and have gotten all sorts of helpful info to keep me vaping so thanks for that. I think I know the answer to my question but I'll ask it anyway. I guess if you've had this experience it would be nice to know. I ordered a mod recently from aliexpress it was taking forever, so long a actually ordered another form within country. Anyway long story short I tracked it down today the message was "arrived at lak si postal center" and "delivery unsuccessful". I'm out in Nan so I know they didn't try and deliver it in BKK..... that was almost two weeks ago now.... Did costumes steel my vape?!..I think I know the answer so you can give it to me straight, but maybe there's a story of hope out there. A story of some vapor in the same same situation whose package mysteriously pulled through. That is the story I'd really like to hear....

    :welcome:

    It sure sounds like it was seized by Customs...an 'unsuccessful' delivery immediately after arrival at Lak Si is the kiss of death...sorry to have to tell you this. Can you post a snip of what the tracking says (minus the tracking no.) so we can confirm?

    Here's the actual language, it's a real shame It was a great deal on the xcube mini, I was waiting on it for a while when I couldn't take it anymore and ordered an artery nugget, so at least I'm vaping.

    It's been seized by Customs...if you have a Thai partner, ask her to call on it and see what they say (it was a 'gift'...right!). Actually, look at the Thai version of the tracking...it's usually a bit more descriptive when Customs gets a new mod. :D

    Hmm I do not have a Thai partner, I have a host but he's not particularly enthusiastic about my vaping.....
    When purchasing internationally do you know if some delivery services are better than others?

    Regular Airmail (add "registered" for tracking) is the only way...anything faster has a >95% failure rate.

    Don't despair. Things were grim a year or so back and I lost two starter kits for friends and an atty in separate orders. My last five orders have come through, even two that had the correct contents listed on the customs label. Dripper shown "into container", so safe. Gearbest.
