Irish and imported cheap e liquid shops

fannywart · 05-02-2013 01:25AM #1

Hi all
New to the world of vapping.

Being a bit of a cheap skate, I was looking into cheap sources of e-liquid.

I found one Irish site:
http://www.e-shop.ie
2 euros /10 mls dekang flavours.

2 Chinese sites one :with 2$ shipping charge
and the other is free shipping
http://www.fasttech.com/category/1411/electronic-cigarettes
$15 dollars for 100mls :eek: of what appears to be dekang = 11.50 euros
Free shipping

and

http://www.uecigarette.com/e-liquid-e-juice/100ml-e-liquid.html

unknown to me Chinese brand of 100 mls of e liquid at a cost of euros 8 and $2 shipping on however much you order :eek:

I ordered some bits from uecigarette some dekang and some 100ml unkown chinese liquids
Ill let you know how it goes.

It would be nice to have this thread dedicated to the cheap skates in our community by including cost per x mls + postage cost, with some feed back on the product

Had to cancel an order recently from China because the vendor couldnt get it past customs, would still try it again though, at prices like that how could you not!

Irish or Chinese customs
Do the Irish customs have issue with users importing eliquid

Did customs confiscate the liquid
or did you get your cash back?

Chinese customs, he said the were x raying everything and not allowing liquids trough, no problem with hardware though, he told me to cancel order and reorder so I had to put in a paypal claim, got the money back and didnt reorder!
Saying all that I would try again, maybe with a different vendor.

I got some e-liquid from china, though the parcel came from singapore!!

Maybe its to get through Chinese customs or just because the shop is in another country?

This stuff is cheap

The green arrow is nice:), like a mellow, weak mint, does not have a mouthwash feel after use.

The apple, vanellia and marlborogh all too weak in flavour:( for my taste. I think they would be good for mixing.

Next Ill try the red cow and mixed fruit I am looking for something sweet and a bit more fruity flavour. Ill let you know how the next trans border purchase proceedes.

fannywart · 12-03-2013 01:52AM

Oh forgot to feed back on the Irish website mentioned by me in first post:
http://www.e-shop.ie

My subjective flavour feedback is:

It all seems to be dekang, the cherry, mint, dunhill, camel, virginia are good
Cherry is my best flavour so far.

The USA mix is overrated on different websites.

The coconut, vanilla , chocolate, coffee are difficult to like , not worth trying.

The blueberry gives me heartburn, does tase like blueberry though.

The watermellon, is watery pleasent but boring.

Wonder if the China retailer were using China Post? Liquid is baned by most postal systems and needs to be shipped by courier now.

Don't try DHL for anything over €25. Customs have them all over the place at the moment. Not really DHLs fault, but until they streamline their process you should avoid at all costs.

Double for that, DHL will pay the customs and bill you themselves, proper little tax collectors they are. Worst bit is they send the customs bill a few days after delivery and theirs you thinking you dodged the duty.

jamie72 · 14-03-2013 07:20PM

I have 25 euro worth of cable sitting in customs at the moment. Customs want €27 import duty on it. Their logic? Since it came so far the shipping must have cost €100 (it cost €10, but wasn't on the invoice). I've emailed them off and got a reply stating that it will be resolved in three weeks. This whole thing is holding up a job I have on fitting security cameras in a shop. If that place gets robbed between now and then the owner will feckin hang me.

tommy2bad · 14-03-2013 07:42PM

I hate closed markets and people herded like sheep, Bloody business treats us like trapped animals; as far as gov is concerned we are a product to sell to markets not seeing markets as serving people.
Rant over.

jamie72 · 14-03-2013 08:06PM

I was thinkig for getting a UK PO box as I live beside the border, does anyone know if they are as useless as the Irish customs?

+1 I Agree with Stefan - this stuff sounds terrible.
The price of e liquid is quite cheap anyhow relative to a smoking habit - don't think its worth the few euro savings in the above links - however each to their own !

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 15-03-2013 10:20AM

how the hell would you get tar in an ejuice anyway

i've seen a few chinese auction sites labelling ejuice as 'tar oil' so maybe it's just a translation snafu

Ok I orderd 100 mls of fruity ejuice.

The apple was crap, the green arrow was ok

hope this tickles my taste buds.

MoodeRator · 19-03-2013 05:25PM

Are you looking to sell on your Apple by any chance? I quite like it:)

I would seriously question how can they make it so cheap - Prefer to stick with better known brands / Sites, god only knows whats in those liquid, possibly no nicotine at all

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 20-03-2013 02:15PM

they make it in bulk, that's how it's so cheap
big ass vats of liquid made at a time

NICOTENE CONTENT...now theres another can of worms :eek:

richardw001 · 20-03-2013 03:49PM

I have to say its an area that I'm not completely happy with - in terms of most eliquids

Even the big brands and a lot of the bigger shops in ireland are a bit vague about the origins of the different ingredients.

There's only one Irish shop I can think off of hand that says all its ingredients on its standard e liquids are produced in the EU.
Also with a bit of digging you find that some of the other big brand ones are EU or US produced as well. However even with that there's only skimpy lab reports in most of these cases.

(I won't mention any names or shops cos I don't want to blacken anyones name - esp some of the people I order from ! However if any of them are reading - and open to criticism - then its definitely an area that they could work on - and suggest to their eliquid providers they need to work on).

It probably doesn't bother a lot of you - especially some of the bargain hunters on this thread - however just saying its a big selling point for me !
