    will she be only be able to bring like 8 cartridges ? same as in theory of 160 real cigs?

    Tabacco is taxed, not nicotine. So can't see there being a problem with the number of cartridges you bring.
    Prob best to check with the airline regarding usage on board

    I would say no, not many people know about them here, and would look a bit weird on a plane (esp if they 'light' up - as in colour)

    I seen them last year in ireland for the first time, but since then I have not seen anyone in Aus (and guessing same in NZ) using them at all

    yeh the tip lights up red to simulate smoking probably to mess with your mind lol
    there taking of a bit here now seen a few people smoking them in pubs was a shock at first

    hopefully she can bring about 70 cartridges with her a few months supply would there be hassle getting more cartridges posted over aswell im sure they will spend a while in customs for checks lol

    would be handy on the flight 30 hours with a cigarette and ill be ready to kill sum one lol:pac::pac:

    Customs in dubai may confiscate your E cigs.

    Why would he have to go through customs at the stop over? (if it even is Dubai)

    Most Airlines know about e-cigs and have banned them, but you could smoke one in the toilet and nobody would even know.
    I bought some e-juice from China for a mate and got it sent to Perth no problem at all, its illegal to sell e-juice with nicotine in Australia but its legal to purchase from oversea's and have it sent to Australia.

    Dont know what way the Kiwi's think about it but check out this web forum, will answer all your questions id say.
