Taking Nic Base Abroad?

[newdawn]

Got word at the week-end that part one of our fiancé visa petition has been APPROVED and we're one step closer to the big move to the US!!! 

Next step on the visa front is for my fiancé to get a medical, police report and interview at the US Embassy in London.  That process takes another 2 - 3 months, but once he shows them he's not a poorly ex-con, we're good to go.  Can't book anything until they've granted him the visa, but if all goes well, it's looking like a July wedding in Ohio is on the cards.  

We're putting the house up for sale this week and now the big rush to organise everything is on.  I've been in touch with some international moving companies just to get information so we're ready when the time comes and they all say the same thing - I can't pack the nic base with the rest of our household shipment.  

I have a 500ml bottle of nic base that I'll never get through before we go.  Anyone know if I can pack unused base (in it's original container) in my suitcase and take it over that way?  I've checked the US customs website, but still none the wiser.  Any experience or ideas would be much appreciated.

Ugh - help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/350/kw/prohibited%20items Nic base is poison, so I guess that answers the packed in suitcase question.

Looks like I need a plan B.

Plan B........sell it and buy more in the States, thus avoiding any hassle

[Pepperty]

plan B: smuggling!!?!!
I think, being sensible it looks like you will find things far less stressful to sell on your nicotine base and purchase more when settled in America. It will just be a case then of finding a UK courier that will deliver poisonous chemicals. You could look into the pricing to have your bottle delivered to your new address in USA but the pricing may be extortionate? -- but its worth doing some online research to see if that is viable

I think the best thing would be to sell it before you go.

You won't lose any money on it and you'll replace it in the states far cheaper.

[newdawn]

Aye, just did a bit more research and loads of places to buy it in the US at the minute. Provided they don't ban it before I get there, all's good.

Will wait until closer to move time and then sell whatever's left. I've also got a full 100ml bottle and half of another 100ml bottle to get through and expect some of that to be left behind too.

Wonder how strict they are about packing a couple of 30ml bottles of ready made juice in my luggage? Can't believe this. Soooooo many more important things to be worrying about and here I am fretting over some juice! Priorities and all that

Nicvape in the US are cheap so I'd sell what you have got. 30ml bottles should be ok as long as you don't carry an excessive amount.

[newdawn]

Must find out next if I need to stock up on concentrates from T-juice and other UK based crowds. I'm guessing I can get them over there but they'll cost a fair bit more than they do here.

If you want to sell 250ml of nic base, pm me

Goodness me newdawn huge changes for you in your life, very good luck with it all.

I'll second Rich at Nicvape for base, it's where I've bought the majority of mine from . . . there's a 10% discount code as well, that Frog secured for us. AAEC it is.

And you'll be able to buy a higher strength in the US than it's legal for us to import here without a Poisons Licence.

Cheers Perpetua. The last 5 years or so was one massive roller coaster with a lot of pretty horrible stuff going on. Nearly three years ago OH broke through the brick wall I'd built up and he's been my rock through the last of it. You've no idea how thrilled I am to finally be on a fun coaster this time around.

Just had a look at their site and you can get as much as 55 GALLONS!!! For the small fee of $16,000 Fortunately they also sell the more manageable litre on down sizes too for us small fish.

Good to hear this is a positive step for you newdawn and one that you're embracing.


There's stockpiling and there's stockpiling.
