Hi All,
I'm just wondering if anyone else here purchases e-juice directly from US vendors? One particular website that seems to have all the latest "tasty" sounding ejuices is vapesocietysupply but does anyone else order from the US?
I'm wondering as to how much the customs charge is and i've heard couriers such as royal mail charge a ridiculous "handling fee"
Basically I'm a really fussy vaper and find I really like US Juices but we are so slow at getting the latest lines etc and if it is actually viable ordering from the us?
Many Thanks,
Dan

swings and roundabouts. its a 50/50 chance if it will get stopped at customs or not and if it does then add the usual 20% vat if your lucky and if your not you could lose the lot and it gets confiscated. i was tempted to order a few bottles of one hit wonder but in the end paid an extra £15 and got them next day from a uk supplier.
what juice are you after as it might be available in the uk but of course more expensive.

I get Infamous eLiquids direct from the States via Giant Vapes, because no one over here stocks it, a French company does 2 of the flavours but not the rest, but shipping & 20% VAT + shippers cut can make some vendors not worth it, I normally buy 420-480ml at a time which normally works out at about £5/10ml after all the added extras, which is not a lot of difference to a lot of the US eLiquids that you can buy over here.

Thanks for your responses, I've managed to find UK suppliers for the majority of the e-liquid I'm wishing to purchase apart from "Got cookies" By 'Fat Kid E-juice' Although it was only released yesterday. I was hoping to find a US vendor that takes the zamplebox approach and declares it as $10 worth of goods but doesn't appear to be much hope!

to be honest if you peruse reddit and a few of the other vape forums your probably going to find the recipes they use and be able to produce your own version of it for a fraction of the price,
DIY mixing is great fun so long as you remember to mix stuff up in plenty of time to let it steep to the desired amount, the only downside is needing the space to steep a couple of litres at a time /

finding a US supplier who takes a lax attitude to customs declaration forms is rare, i think they fear a midnight raid by the home security jackboots.

I order my ADV from epipemods.com/ and it is here within a week, and with no extra charges.
