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!

    The situation is getting all kinds of insane. Thankfully I haven't been stopped/caught yet, but I'm going to stop vaping in my wife's car.

    I recently published a YouTube video on the whole vaping in Thailand issue. Have I missed anything, or is there anything that I should add?



    Definitely stay safe out there guys...

    After reading the following posts, yes, extremely lucky. I couldn't believe it actually, imagine my face when I realised it was in my pocket!

    Damn. While I guess it's important not to give into paranoia this situation seems to be getting worse as opposed to better. Almost got to the stage where I wouldn't even be happy using at the condo pool for fear of some 'concerned citizen' shipping you in to the BIB for a cut of the 'fine'.

    I'm sure that is way too paranoid but you can never bloody tell here!!

    It is a bit paranoid...but you're not alone. The same thought has crossed my mind, too...and more than once, I'm not ashamed to say. ;)
    Since you don't want to take the risk (although about all they're going to do at the airports is confiscate your mod & send you on your way to spend money IF they find it), I'd suggest bringing your atties, coils & juice packed in your checked luggage. Pick up a mod & batteries here and you'll be good to go...just be careful vaping in public is all. :)

    I think it's not paranoia, just comment sense.
    I went to "verlang party" ( perfect to improve my english, drink some beers and look my friends) every week or 2 weeks in a Thai /English restaurant. I vape other smoke it doesn't matter, if no thai customers stay, police, government people, teachers eat also there

    Seems like they make up their laws specifically to allow the BiB to cream off money from people!

    :surprised:
    The irony in that statement is staggering considering the TTM pumps out millions of cigarettes a year. But...are they considering closing the manufacturing facility...of course not :D
    They get what they deserve...YMMV ;)

    also good wishes.
    thai authorities were wishing long ago to have a
    non smoking country;
    people in the country side continue to smoke the 10 bath tobacco bag and are much tolerant than big cities citizen about smoking
    a non drinking country: can't drink beer in the restaurant for election day some Buddha day etc..., can't buy alcohol in the big shops between x and y: in the facts , there a big problem of drink and drive, if you know the right place you can buy alcohol any time, farmers still drink lao khao cheaper than beer.
    Monopoly taxes on alcohol and tobacco are easy money, that change the deal, everywhere in the world

    Thai proverb
    • คน ฉลาด รู้ ถ้า ต้อง พูด หรือ ไม่
    clever people knows if they have to speak or not
    I mus be stupid?

    Don't worry you may not be what you are scared to be. But I know a guy who speaks a lot, especially on TV every week, who didn't understand that proverb.
    ถ้า คน ฉลาด รู้ ถ้า ต้อง พูด หรือ ไม่ คน ไม่ฉลาด ไม่ รู้ ถ้า ต้อง ปิดปาก.
    If clever people know when they should not speak then people who are not clever don't know when to shut their mouth.
    I think everyone guessed who I'm talking about.
    To be honest, as long as this dream team will lead I don't think it will lead IT anywhere good and IT will definitely not gonna move forward เดินหน้า (walk forward). Everything is getting worse and worse. Still running straight back to the past. I still love the people and their way of life though.
