Thought I'd ask here as I know We've a few that have also got links wiv the 'pines.....
Last time I was there, I was still smoking (& even getting out the 'baccy pouch & rizlas drew a crowd!!...) plus, They had n't voted in this Nutter President!....
A Pinay friend reckons that I'll have trouble bringing My mod etc. in.....tho' She has n't been back home for a while either so....?
Anyone been over post-Duterte?............
TIA!

I have  I was there in July Absolutely no problem taking stuff in. I took 3 mods and 8 batteries (in HL). I also took 500ml of DIY juice (100ml bottles). Guy at Heathrow security said "Wow, that's a lot of juice" (he was a vaper!) but wasn't a problem. Lots of vape shops in the Pines too. Juice is cheap but I thought kit was expensive (they absoloutely clobber foreign imports). I was in Duterte's homeland of Davao - you can only vape in smoking areas which are few and far between - Durterte is a psychotic anti-smoking zealot. I'm guessing in other big cities you could vape around the streets anywhere. Vapers were few and far between in Davao ( a few "cool" kids) - but then fags are 60-70p a packet and vaping is "expensive" Biggest recommendation is try some of the local juices - especially Bamski and Dino labs. Not jealous at all you are going.................  When I was leaving - the guy at Davao Airport security asked to look in my bag.....his reaction? Wow - you have got three mods! Errrrr...yeah....big smile, off you go |

ghostrider1971 Thanks for that M8, I knew You'd been out quite recently & was hoping You'd reply!!!  Suppose that 72mg. Nico./PG/VG ain't available?......cheap fags = cheap NET, & high temps. pos. = ready for vaping before I have to fly back!! Anyway, looking forward to seeing how hip Bacolod/Silay is to a vaping Kano!!!

yourgurnard - Absolute pleasure, Sir Please be warned that pouch tobacco (GV, OH etc) is an absolutely obscene price - I saw it in a mall once and nearly fell over....it's cheaper here.... I did see PG/VG in "Vape King" (great name.....) - but didn't see nic. Please, please, please try Bamski Lychee (and bring a suitcase full back!).....the best juice ever

I'll see if this Bamski Lychee comes up whilst o & a.....tho' You know that I'm not into non-NETs!...Wot mg. Nic are You on?...

Nice to hear things haven’t changed too much. I was there in 2014 and on internal flights the security guards were pretty relaxed about vape gear. We’re planning to go early next year hopefully, and I was a bit worried that things may have changed as they seem to have in many countries in the last couple of years.
Mrs Barrel, who hails from that part of the world, is a great admirer of Mr Duterte but is a bit clueless about vape culture..

Well, back in Blighty since last night  ,did n't get shot & even various security guards/waiters etc. were hip to the difference 'twixt smoking & vaping....ie. had no 'You can't smoke that here, sir..' scenes.....unlike here!  Funniest thing re. vaping was the evening that My 21-yr.old Pinoy Nephew pulled out this chunky local mech./dripper & proceded to chuck out clouds.....'You are using mesh on a Pico, I am using cotton....in fused claptons.'  |
