Australia paying a visit

[robray]

Hi people

Just dropping in to say hi. I am an expat Brit and have been down under since 1989. Vaping since 2010, and its certainly turned into a hobby. I came across the forum while Googling for information regarding modding a Billet box.
I usually hang around an Australian forum. Not sure about the rules about posting links, but like this one, its independent with no affiliations. Pleasant change in this mercenary world.

Thanks to the mods for a quick acceptance, so I will have a look around.

Welcome robray
My brother in law has not long gained Australian citizenship.
He's the manager in the hard rock cafe at Sydney.
So if you're ever there tell him jonny said friends and family discount.
His name is Josh.
Anyway, this is a great forum with lots of knowledge and good people.
Welcome to a great place

Hi jtc

Thanks for the offer, but I will have to decline. Tries the east coast. Lasted 12 months. Life way to fast, noisy and polluted. At the time Western Australia was 15 years behind the rest of the world, Ideal place to bring up the kids. All changed now of course, but still a good life style, but blood cold now!!

Hi robray !

Welcome to AAEC. I'm registered on Aussie Vapers (pseudonym) but don't often pop down under.

I joined after finding out about some UK/US vendors taking advantage. The world is mercenary in that respect and it winds me up that so many vapers carry on using companies (brands name ones) that deliberately take advantage and then expect us to not say something about this around the world.

Hang around on here a bit, we'd love to have you in our community, for sure!

Yes Aussievapers is my usual home. Not a lot of time recently to hang around forums as I used to, but good to be here and take off the blinkers for a change!!

A very warm welcome to you robray

A very warm and hearty AAE-C robray to our little slice of vaping heaven. We are, without doubt, the friendliest vape related forum on the web. Our many members have a wealth of experience, whether in hardware or in juices and we have a very good Mixology section if you are that way inclined. I'd also like to know of your experiences as we read so much doom and gloom about vaping in OZ. We seem to have it a lot better, TPD notwithstanding.

Hi sydut

Mixology is not my style. I have a stash from the UK, Okysmokie. Just tobacco and a few menthol / mint to tone down some of the harsher ones.

Yes, for a good while I was into modding an a small scale, just to keep me occupied, I dont mind getting down and dirty when I have the time.

As you mentioned, Australia is behind the eight ball when it comes to Vaping. The cynic in me says its all about the money. Its amazing how stuff can become acceptable when a sin tax is applied. My feeling its the same around the world in every country that has a ban in place. Italy seems to be the only country that has directly said that the uptake of Vaping has hit their bottom line, and imposed sin taxes.

All our nick has to be imported, however hardware can be purchased, but not in Western Australia. There a a good few hardware suppliers in the Eastern States who can ship to WA, but the majority of stuff comes in from China. No restrictions so far, but we wait and see.

Apart from that, alls good. Most people have a Armageddon stash in the freezer. I am luck, my better half spends her time in the UK, and I use her as a "Mule" to ferry the good stuff home!!

A warm welcome to you robray.


Like Djs I'm also registered on Aussie Vapers  . . . . Gary Cannell used to be an admin on there I think - not sure if he still is.

Very knowledgeable gent on all things GG if it's all one and the same.

ah yes..my old Aunt died a couple of years ago at the RAAF home in Perth. Some 30 yrs at Bindoon and Perth. She was a true continual fag hanging from the gob smoker since I could remember. Stopped smoking about 25 years back and denied ever smoking.

Died aged 104

Bloody hell.

Based on that record, I have never smoked in my life. Hope it works!!!
