    Hello everybody !
    First post here.
    I will be back in Thailand for two weeks and I am planning to buy the Crown uwell tank and a couple packs of occ.
    Is it safe to use DHL? the vendor ( 3fvape ) offers free shipping (5-40 business days) but that would be too long.
    I have seen posts on the forum saying that using DHL/Fedex or those sort is not the best idea.
    I am worried about it getting seized by Thai customs.

    Btw, I only started vaping 2 weeks ago ! Been ciggies free !

    I would not recommend DHL, FedEx or similar. The only option that seems to arrive is Registered Airmail. Can't you buy the Kit before you fly and bring it in your Carry-On baggage, or in the Checked, Hold baggage, either way you can guarantee that it will be with you and not somewhere in the postal system.

    Congrats on being ciggie free. I would add a plus one of bringing it person if you can. Thai customs can be a pain. Even for stuff that is not prohibited for import (for example I had motorcycle parts shipped) they add a bunch of customs duties to everything.

    @haybilly & @Submaniac ..I don't have that tank with me at the moment. Was planning on mail ordering it.
    well.. i guess i will not proceed with that order.
    Will be bringing my existing vape gear in carry-on.
    Thanks for the advice guys !

    Actually, I'm not saying 'don't' mail order, just that if you had the option to buy at that end and carry it with you it was a better bet- all of us here, that live here, use mail order all the time and it generally arrives, but never use DHL or Fedex only Reg.Airmail. and be there to sign for it out collect it at the List Office- I wasn't trying to put you off altogether.

    But...... Having just read your post, it seems that you are only here for a couple of weeks, you may find that you have already left before it arrives.

    Decided to buy a tank from one of the sellers on the forum. Much quicker shipping...
