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!

Help made sort of a dumb decision.

    I really should have searched for this site before i even attempted on getting the stuffs. Hi everyone newbie to the site but been vaping for quite awhile,studying in thailand, and will only be here for a couple of month, and i was wondering if anyone can share their experience on ordering vape stuffs in Khon kaen.

    i didnt bring my vape gear over here because i thought that it'd be hard for me to get juices and all, especially being up north and far from bkk.

    survived a week without any nicotine intake, and went on pretty good for a few more days. until i just had to pick up a pack of cigarettes. now i am back to smoking smelly sticks. its getting worse by the day, and i am far from proud of it.

    so out of impulse, i did what any impulsive vape-withdrawal-foreigner would do, ordered a bunch of stuffs online without checking with laws and customs.

    so, i ordered from 3 places.

    i ordered a few stuffs from fasttech, which included 2 unregulated box mods, orchid v3 atomizer, nichrome wire, and a battery bank which also acts as a charger for 2x 18650 batteries (batteries not included). sent via singpost.

    then i also got myself 2 sony vtc3 from ebay, from the uk sent through standard international shipping. and lastly 30ml 6mg juice from ejuice (dot) com via usps first class package international shipping.

    now my question is. will it arrive safely here? or will it get confiscated? or will they ignore what it is because it is a small package? i've looked around the forum, and i found some that might answer my question, but a little part of me feels uneasy so i thought on creating this thread hoping that someone can help me give an insight and specific answer to my dillema here. any replies are highly appreciated, and i wana say thank you in advance.

    I can't guarantee it will arrive but with standard mail you have certainly improved the odds.

    yea, i read a few posts here regarding that. i still find it weird that fedex or DHL would invade the privacy of the customer, cz i thought the whole point of using their service was fast shipping and privacy? well atleast thats how it is in my country.

    and also, how does shipping work here, do they send it straight to the doorstep or do we have to pick it up at the post office?

    sigh. i really didnt think this through.

    Well, as it's a banned item into this country that is why.
    Is that the same in 'your' country ? :wink:

    it is illegal where i am from. but fedex is the safest form of mail there. they send it straight to your door, you just sign it with no questions asked. whereas standard mail, we'll have to open our parcels infront of the officers at the post office. but nonetheless, if it works the other way around for here, i just hope im lucky enough to get it through the customs.

    Welcome to the forum apeeel. Have you checked out Micky or Big, Tinga or Ovale? you would have the stuff up north within 2-3 days.

    Yes, that's been my experience (after many orders).
    Fasttech orders require a signature. If your not home when it arrives, you will need to go to the PO.

    As Rick has mentioned, your chances of it arriving here are pretty good with regular mail. We've found that small, low value packages have the best chance of getting through.

    ^^^ +1
    Anything you order from them is guaranteed to arrive! And Micky has just restocked Halo juices...
    :vaping: :vaping:

    Oh, and :welcome:

    Wish I paid the extra for that jig, the cheap one I bought the threads lasted about a day, then after switching pins the other one lasted another day. Hope you have better luck with yours.

    nice set anbessa! that did make me feel better =D. Atleast, now i know we can order from fasttech to here. how long did it take though? was it exactly 14 days?

    Now my main concern now is the juice and batteries that i ordered. i heard its pretty tricky for these 2 stuffs in particular. anyone can verify if they did recieve their juice or batteries from outside?
