Hobby, Bobby, Lighty...

Appreciate it - many thanks...

For most of my life, my work has revolved around people from the US - First World country, compared to a 67th, as I'm sure you can imagine.

As far as vaping suppplies go, more or less the same. 99 + % of everything is imported ( Mostly from China ), and we don't have close to the quality of mods, juice etc., that you have there. If you want the best, you have to import it, and of course, end up paying double.

There is an Innokin agent in SA that keeps most of their product line. Other devices are imported by smaller companies, and there is really not too much available.

Juices availble to go include Liqua, Dekang, and Hangsen. A few companies have a small amount of liquids mainly from the UK. I have heard there is also a Juicyvapour agency down in the Cape area.

I personally use a VTR, Coolfire I, and am considering a Dreadnaut mod.

I would like to start making juice for resale purposes, and am busing contacting a few companies in the US who have good quality flavorings.

You guys have a great setup here - congratulations..........

@NKUNZI thanks for the reply. The guy is just outside South Africa but said he can pop over the border to get something. But by what you said I'll advise him to order online. It's so hard posting juice and batteries from the uk as the Royal Mail makes you jump through too many hoops now. Making juice is so easy that I think you'd do well if you made it to sell down there. Do you use a local ebay if there is one? I know amazon isn't very international. Idk about ebay.

If you send me a list of what your friend is looking for, I will try to locate it for him - customs on this end is just as difficult. Once I get up and going, there are a few local classifieds I can use. I still need to find a nicotine supplier locally, and then some good flavor suppliers and recipies from the US, UK etc.

Ok thanks. It's like this. A lad who works in a local shop asked if he could buy the vape gear from me, everything, and send it all to his step dad (I think he said Zimbabwe.. I'm not quite sure). When he said that, I doubted it would be possible but I told him I'd make enquiries about what's available locally. So he's passed on to him my email address and I'm waiting on him to reply. If he's interested he'll contact me, which I hope he does of course. Either way I think it's useful to know vape gear availability around the world for future reference.

Hi Kelli

Fochville is around 150 miles from me, I go past there often.

There are so many languages in this part of the world. Unfortunately, I can only help myself with 5 of them..

Where exactly are you.?
