FDA Regulations Pass In USA! Is SA next??

[Vape Depot]

Hello Dear Vapors,

I wanted to find out from you guys who think if these ludicrous regulations the FDA in the US have implemented, will also have a ripple effect and pass in South Africa?'

It will effectively ruin the vaping industry by 99% and have the Big Tobacco companies control the whole market! With the South African Health Minister remark that he is "monitoring the e-cigarette industry closely" is surely a very nerve wracking thought.

Id love to know your thoughts on this.....

Keep on Vaping!

A buddy of mine placed an international order that has been refused by SA customs as of 1 August 2016.

It's not definite what the position of vaping is yet in SA but to your point, the tobacco companies are definitely pulling strings to enforce regulations against vaping.

Have you mailed the post office customs office?

They are a bunch of tw*ts ... I've also placed an order that I'm awaiting.

But if yours hasn't been released since 11 July, Makes me doubtful I'll get my package as well.

I order on a regular basis from Germany and no problem. I receive my order via Aramex in a week max. They/Germany do not ship to the UK. I think the orders from the States is more a problem because of SA /Post Office customs not doing their work than the FDA regulations. According to ECF the guys battling the most is the shop owners. In the UK is a massive vape community and their health regulations promote vaping as an effective way to stop smoking.

Thanks for the insight @Petrus ... would you be keen on sharing your German supplier?

Guys you want to get goods in you need to use a forwarding agent, but be prepared to pay.
