Nicotine Vape Juice in Australia

We have updated this page as of 22/07/2019.

Believe you can't buy nicotine vape juice in Australia (outside of Queensland State) for your private use? Think again!
THE TRUTH IS...
You CAN buy e-liquid containing nicotine if you live in Australia (outside of Queensland State).
You just have to order them from outside Australia (say from New Zealand) and order a 3-month or less supply for personal use.

 

HEY, AUSSIES, YOU CAN VAPE E-CIGS WITH NICOTINE!

Here's what is the legal way for Australians to purchase e-cigarette products with nicotine as far as we interpret it. Here is an official Aussie government site on the subject which is the definitive answer.

In order to purchase vaping products with nicotine, you must order them from outside the country and have them imported. The law in Australia states it is legal to import a 3 month supply of e-liquid nicotine for personal use. We understand Queensland State law prohibits nicotine use, or import.

But what is considered a 3 month supply? That answer is still unclear, so use good personal judgement when ordering.

There is no import prohibition from customs on electronic cigarettes with nicotine for personal use. Also, there are no customs fees for orders under $1000 AUD (outside of Queensland State).

Follow our guidelines and you’ll be vaping nicotine in Australia in no time (outside of Queensland State).

Here's a step-by-step checklist for ordering:

If you're new to vaping, follow our Quick Start system

Customs

There is no prohibition on importing vapourisers, e-cigarettes or e-cigars into Australia, so they will not confiscate your products at the border. Keep your order under $1,000 AUD declared value (before any discount or shipping) to avoid customs fees.

Order from an international company MovetoVape and get your vape products shipped directly to you in Australia.

Shipping to Australia

We use NZ Post Courier service, which in turn works as part of the international postal service at a cost of $13.00 which includes a limited tracking number, so you can see the progress as your order speeds it way to you.

E-Cigarette Regulations in Australia

The laws in Australia state that it is illegal to sell, advertise, and import for resale electronic cigarettes and related products that contain nicotine. Vaping companies based in Australia can only sell electronic cigarettes and products that contain no nicotine. 

However, it is essential to have nicotine in your e-cigarette in order to make a successful transition from tobacco-based cigarettes to vaping. If not, you will still crave the nicotine and find yourself back on cigarettes to satisfy your need. 

Aussies, no worries! You can simply order your e-cigarettes, personal vapourisers, and nicotine e-liquid online from a company based outside of Australia, and have them delivered directly to your door.

PLEASE NOTE: Coupon codes and customs

You must keep the total product value of vapouriser goods under $1,000 AUD (under $1,100 NZD). The total product value is the cost of the products before discounts are applied. Discounts do not reduce the declared value of the products.

For example, if you get $1,105 AUD in vapouriser goods from Move to Vape for $939 AUD (15% OFF) in the eyes of Australian Customs the value is still $1,105 AUD. So you MUST keep the total of the order at it's original value price under $1,000 AUD to avoid customs fees. The buyer is responsible for all customs fees.

Choosing your E-liquid

Ordering e-liquids online is easy. The important thing before you order is to choose the right nicotine strength and flavour that suits you.

Not only do you need nicotine to transition, it has to be the right nicotine strength that matches your current cigarette nicotine levels. If you are currently a smoker, your body craves a certain level of nicotine and will continue to do so until that craving is met. If you choose an e-liquid nicotine strength that is too low, your body will crave more nicotine and you will most likely return to your tobacco cigarettes, concluding that the e-cigarettes do not work for you. If you choose an e-liquid nicotine strength that is too high, the experience could be too intense.

Move to Vape offers 6 different e-liquid nicotine strengths to match the nicotine level your body is used to - 18mg, 12mg, 9mg, 6mg, 3mg, 0mg. 

Also important to ordering your e-liquid is choosing a flavour that you enjoy. Whether a classic tobacco flavour, menthol or alternative such as fruity or spicy, we have a flavour you'll love.
