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!

    Wouldn't surprise me...they've been the ones hit the hardest by the recent upturn in enforcement by the Postal BiB.

    Is it only for e-cig products or also other products?

    Terrible news!

    I stopped using them after my third confiscation a few months back.

    Yes, vaping products have no shipping options.

    I guess many like me, been asking about things that has been confiscated and FT gives back a refund. Now ending up with credit there but cannot buy vape products... good thing they have tons of other electronics to buy and use up the credits....

    I wasn't aware that they reimbursed Customs seized goods- I can now understand their decision. I never tried to make a claim, just put it down to bad luck.

    Well, all i did was told them i have not received the items i ordered, over a period of 3 months they decided to give me the refund. This is my first and only time i got from FT.

    I wasn't being critical of your actions, just saying that if they have been reimbursing many Thai Vapers, thanks to the dumb Customs action, you can understand why they don't want to ship to Thailand.

    No worries @haybilly, but it is just a matter of time these things will happen. Any business would need to cut risks of losing more items due to confiscations.

    Its just sad that vaping is still viewed in a bad light no matter what facts say. Its just so frustrating.

    Time to shop for other electronics to clear my 50usd in FT..
