Buying eliquids from USA

[rvape]

I currently buy my ejuice in India and have realized that its way pricey for me to continue with it.
My ideal choice is to buy US based good liquids. I have surfed the net a lot in the last 48 hours and nailed down on 2 ways of buying US eliquids from India.
1. Direct shipping from ejuice company (not every one ships to India and most of the others a very costly)
2. Using a Mail forwarding service.

Has anyone used a mail forwarding service from US to buy ejuice.
What about customs? I am in Bangalore. Which is the better option and how safe is it to order without duty / customs (if thats even possible in the first place)

Get in touch with the club we will try and hook you up with some cheap juice.

Shipping from the USA is not an option. Most freight forwarders do not touch ejuice. Esp. if it has nicotine.
I have lined up some nicotine and flavor concentrates to do my own Juice. As I cant afford the ejuice rates in the US either. Even though they have some crazy sales.

Best way to get stuff from the USA is to ship it to a friend. And then have them ship it to you via DHL. DHL works.
There are a lot of sites that will take your orders and ship to India also. Check out myfreedomvapes.com what is where I got my stuff from. But if your cribbing about the prices. It makes zero sense to import from the USA. With DHL shipping rates.

We have also lined up vendors in India. For supply of Flavors and Nicotine. Once we get access to Indian Nicotine we will start commercial operations. We wont be able to supply anything more than 20 Mg/ ML officially.

If it comes via DHL you wont have customs problems. If it comes via regular post. It will mean visiting the customs office at least once. Though they do not trouble you for small qty. i.e. one or two bottles they let pass. Also depends on what is written on the customs declaration form by the seller. Fasttech will write what ever you want them to. And the prices are so cheap. It makes no sense for customs to try and collect duty. Again only so long as its a small qty for your own use.

Thanks Chinoy. I will wait for you to start commercial operations.

In the meantime will try and get a 3-4 30ml bottles from myfreedomvapes or MBV and use DHL ofcourse. Hope that works out.

Let me know once you are ready with your operations. Will be great to have good juice available in India

what do you have against buying from fasttech. ? They do fast shipping also. ?.

Andy got some *beep* deals from the UK.
There are some *beep* deals on gotsmok i.e. 50% off on e-juice check it out.

What kind of flavors do you like ?
Ps: There is an indian law which states anything more than 20MG / ML is not allowed you may want to keep that in mind when placing your order. It helps to buy from guys who only list nic level as low / med / high. That works with Indian customs. You just tell them high = 20 MG.

Hey Chinoy, You have been super in your replies. Highly appreciated. Thanks!

Nothing against Fasttech really. I see only Chinese juices there. I am currently buying Joyetech juice from ecigIndia and don't seem to like it, especially once I tried Halo. Even for a beginner like me I could tell the difference in quality. Joyetech seems crappy now. There started my search for a better quality juice. And lots of forums dumping chinese juices for USA ones made me seriously think of USA liquids

I like the Fasttech gear though will order some later.

Are any Fasttech juices (I could see only Hangsen and Dekang) good? I am open as long as they are good quality.

My nic levels are 6 and at times 12 not more than that. I have mostly tried Tobacco flavors. Wish to try Menthols and gourmets. Not a fan of fruit flavors at all.

rvape, try mtbakervapor. Ive yet to order from em. Intend to do so soon. They are recommended by many internetz. If you order large quantities like 250mlx3, The prices are quite cheap. Shipping costs 2.5k with fedex priority mail.add 40-60% tax and it ends up costing ~200rs per 10ml. Try the best sellers first.

Thanks mohsihummer. I took your advice and finally got my MBV juices (eight 30ml bottles), quickly than I expected (6 days) with tracking from MBV to my door step.
You were spot on with the customs costing. Awesome man!
I used Fedex, they charged 30$ but then it was express. Also want to share that Fed ex asked for my identity and address proof as Bangalore customs mandates it. Fedex claims to have saved it in their database for my every next shipping. When I talked to Fedex customer care they said this was unique to only Bangalore. So for non-Bangalorians, this might not be an issue

I seem to like the juices. Way better than what I was vaping from ecig india

Can you give a breakdown of all the costs incurred? eliquid, tax, shipping,overhead etc..?

[chinoy]

So what flavors did you get ?
Come down for the next meet. We can exchange some flavors.
Im working on a line of American based flavors.

I had spoken to DHL and Border Link both refused to touch anything ecig related.
