    Just wondering where most of you guys get your authentic vape stuff from (Vapor flasks, Provari stuff). I'll be back in the UK mid 2016 but thats a bit too long to wait. Do you ship them directly from the states ? Or do you buy them while your over there ? How reliable is shipping all the way from the states ? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance. :thank you:

    I have found that nearly every "Hobby" I have fallen into has had it's own form of " ______ Acquisition Disorder*

    DERAD - Double Edge Razor Acquisition Disorder
    SRAD - Straight Razor Acquisition Disorder
    SSAD - Shaving Soap Acquisition Disorder
    SBAD - Shaving Brush Acquisition Disorder
    PAD - Pipe Acquisition Disorder
    TAD - Tobacco Acquisition Disorder
    BAD - Bible Acquisition Disorder
    HAD - Harmonica Acquisition Disorder
    GAD - Guitar Acquisition Disorder
    MMAD - Mech Mod Acquisition Disorder
    RMAD - Regualated Mod Acquisition Disorder

    I have personal experience with all of these. Seeing someone in the throws of an all out fit really isn't pretty especially with the threat of customs involved. I will pray for you. Please...... pray for me

    Authentic gear can be purchased in the US, UK & Europe (think Pink-Mule). ProVape won't ship here. Creme de Vape (the old Cloud 9) may...they handle ProVari. The best way is to have someone hand carry it over.

    Note to all: be judicious in your responses...this is a public thread.

    I have seen some authentic gear at some of the online sellers here in Thailand, but they don't have the latest models of ProVari.

    I actually never found that they sold a P3 here in Thailand, but I did see the VaporFlask for 7,500 Baht now out of stock.

    Also a good place for authentic gear is Malaysia...

    Oh...almost forgot...you can buy ProVari's and Vapor Flasks in Malaysia. KL is a nice place to go for a weekend trip. The VF SX will be out soon as will the ProVari Radius.

    I have seen some decent gear from thai vendors but selection is quite limited and outdated, I'd rather have more options considering that premium price tag. The shipping wait time and cost doesn't bother me too much but customs is what scares me the most. I might just wait it out till April-May next year. No biggy, just wondering if anyone had any experience with this sort of stuff.

    Hmmm... Sounds like a nice new years trip. Thanks for recommending, never really thought of that. Good way to keep the missus happy aswell.

    Malaysia is definitely where you want to do your Visa stuff when needed as it has the best Vape scene in S.E.A.

    I doubt I'll need to go for visa stuff (Half Thai), but i do plan on going there for the vape stuff. Been looking up malaysia vaping on youtube and they even have their own vapecon.

    Yeah vaping culture in Malaysia is far more prosperous than in Thailand, even though it is illegal in both country.

    I was in Malaysia a couple of months ago. The shops operate in the open and I didn't have to do the back door or under the counter stuff there. As far as prices go, things seemed overpriced by a good bit. I wasn't trying to hard to buy anything though. The shops I visited offered no sampling of the juices and most were priced at 40 ringgit for 30 ml. I ended up picking up a Smok Xpro M80 plus for 230 ringgit. More than I wanted to pay but it was right there in front of me. Long story short, it went tits up in 2 weeks. Smok Asia kept wanting me to return to the vendor for warranty service and Smok USA has outsourced their warranty process to Madvapes. The only way to have it warrantied there would require me to ship the unit to the US and provide them a US address to send to device back to when warranty claim was processed. Then I would have to pay for it to be shipped back to Thailand. At the time I wasn't planning on returning to the US anytime soon, so I didn't see any value in attempting a warranty claim. With nothing to lose, I opened the thing up to see if I could see the problem. No luck and it was most likely the board itself that went bad. The 18650 batteries in side are not wrapped like normal 18650s and are basically glued together and wrapped with what looks like shipping tape. The interior build quality looked terrible. Definitely will never buy a Smok product again. Anyways, back to my point. If you do pick up a mod is Malaysia, if something goes wrong you will probably end up with an expensive paperweight.

    LeVaporz(s)/LeGadgets offered sampling. Tipping the assistant afterwards. They have a real nice setup.

    Are they in KL? I didn't see them. But that doesn't mean much. I'm sure I was in the all the wrong places. Tends to be my luck.
