Vaping in China? Well i'm here now so changed the title!

[digicig]

Just about to accept a teaching post in Xianning, China, and thought i'd check the rules and regs over there - and apparently nicotine liquid is officially banned!

Anyone have any experience, advice etc. as to the actual situation and potential availability of juice over there - outside of Shenzhen anyway?

Assumed it wouldn't be an issue - but then again the Gov't do own all the tobacco firms apparently

Could try and take some nic and flavours with me - but would be reluctant to risk the job - please help

Edit: So spoiler alert summary
Thanks to all the advice - particularly from Foclecig - and using supplied translations - printed them out and labelled all me vape kit. The premixed juice, without flavouring, went into a 500ml VG bottle and flavourings separately in me hold luggage. Everything else went through no problems - and just as well cos it took me at least 2 months to be able to order anything online!

Yeah I had heard that myself, that it was all banned over there. Stupid really when you think that the main e-cig producers are in China

I'd be looking for a different teaching post

[digicig]

To be honest - possibly the best 1st ESL job i've ever seen/heard about - free flat, paid for flights, holiday pay (1-2 months) and a good enough salary to live and save some too!
Ecigs are legal - but the nic not

Hoping someone can let me know what the real situation is like b4 committing my self to 12 months

My last answer was a bit tongue in cheek.......but could you get it posted to you?

[hijack]

You know that hadn't even crossed my mind. But as those nice pep's at commi HQ own all the ciggy factories...Yeh I expect they wasted no time stamping out vaping when it raised it head.
You know what they say in China... 'There's plenty more where they came from'.

[digicig]

Unfortunately - the job really is too good to turn down

Just gonna tag Foclecig and isabel22 as they may be able to help you

[VapingBad]

Tagging some members who live there Foclecig, isabel22, Ella who may be able to help and ladies if it is not something you want to post in a public area please PM digicig.

Good luck with the job digicig Mrs Bad's niece taught over there for 3 years and enjoyed it.

Ninjed by flavourtank, I had to use google to spell check

Only my 2 pence worth but can we not buy juice from fast tech and focal with mic in them and all come from China dekang and hangsen have Nick in them

[digicig]

Thinking that if the unit itself is legal - i could possibly take flavours with me and get the VG/PG out there and just vape Zero nic?
Tis the act of vaping i enjoy more than the nic - at least that's what i tell myself

[digicig]

The Chinese Gov't own ALL the tobacco companies in China - and 60-70% of men smoke - so whilst they're happy yo export ecigs and ejuice - not likely to endorse/encourage Vaping

You might find if you're in China you can't order from FT strange as that might seem.

Never seen anything so ironic, China the biggest supplier and exporter of e cigs and they cannot use them as intended, what a crazy world we live in. It seems the same mind set is at work as in Europe and the states, only difference is they Can implement a total ban. ( Ours would love to, or will via taxes)

[digicig]

Aye - naively assumed if i ran out of anything could just 'nip' to Shenzhen and restock - so much for that idea icon_shoppingm
