Australia and vaping

TLDR

  • Do-it-yourself (DIY) home mixing is banned. Only finished products are lawful to dispense. Pharmacists cannot dispense ingredients for patients to use to mix their own vaping substances

  • A commercial quantity is currently 14 vaping devices, 90 vaping accessories or 600mL of liquid vaping substance.

  • The health minister has repeatedly said that personal possession and use of vapes without a prescription will not be an offence. However, state laws allow for jail terms of up to 2 years and fines up to $45,000. This contradiction must be resolved.

  • For commercial offences, new maximum penalties of up to 7 years in jail and fines up to $2.2 million for individuals and $21.91 million for corporations apply.

When Massachusetts banned flavors, they originally wrote the bill as if you were caught with an open “tank” system vape in your car they could seize the vape and your car. That fortunately wasn’t passed.

I just noticed Vape Trains flavors at DIY Canada are now listed as ‘Impact Flavors’
Did they finally change their name?

Good catch @Pastorfuzz. I just ordered from them, but wasn’t paying attention. I think I was looking at the Vape Train logo up top and didn’t notice.

Im still waiting for 3 boxes of coils to clear Melb customs, been over a week so might be dragging out the old RTAs.
Cant even order more as all site are either closed, out of stock or geo blocked.

Update: Coils were seized by Aussie border force.
Very sad and uncertain times indeed.

I ordered a 500ml bottle of TFA Double Chocolate Clear form Universal Flavours some time back and got the stuff in the pic. They were really good about it and credited it but didnt want it back.
Put it aside and didnt think much of it.
Best I can tell is its either TFA Double Chocolate Dark or another mystery chocolate.
I dont need this much mystery chocolate and given the current circumstances with concentrates will donate 3x 100ml bottles of mystery chocolate to the local DIY community.
Anyone in Melbourne Australia interested send me a PM
