Vaping in Cambodia & Vietnam
Re: Vaping in Cambodia & Vietnam
While I don't know exactly problem seems, so far, to be another additive added, Vitamin E acetate oil. I think this might have been used to help the THC oil blend with the VG/PG, or as reported as a thickener. I've been vaping for years with less side effects than smoking. They are not a 100% safe of course, only thing is to not smoke anything. But for me, it's a better option since I smell better and better lungs, imo, than when I was smoking 1 pack a day. Also I use the lowest nicotine amount 2.5/3mg, which means I vape more to recieve enough to satiate my cravings.
@phuketrichard If they didn't have flavored vapes then I'd probably still be smoking cigarettes. I tried tobacco flavored vape juice at first, was a horrible flavor. If I smoked that then I'd be better off smoking cigarettes. As far as nicotine content, I don't know, I smoke the lowest levels and am fine, albeit I vape more to get my fix from 1 pack a day. And now I get less nicotine per day, haven't figured it up in awhile. I'd caution about throwing the baby out with the bath water. I know many guys that vape and love the flavored juices, one big selling point for non-smoking spouses. Doesn't stink up the house and/or clothes. Hell, with me right now I have ButterCream Frosting/French Toast/Caramel Apple.
@marcus Welby I vape there no problem, never in a crowd. I'm not going to do that to other people. Unlike cigarettes you can smoke anywhere, less visible smoke, and no one bats an eye. But the clouds from a vape are shocking to some and more intrusive. Likewise to others, the police have seen mine, no one cares. Maybe because we're expats, if they see a local doing it maybe it's different. There's several vape shops around town, I won't name them in public. But there's people on facebook selling mods/tanks/juice too. But I'd watch out for buying Malaysian/Chinese juices while you're there. Generally pretty shit taste and horrible quality. Insanely thin juice and burns up your cotton fast if you chain vape. Even if it's thin it doesn't have time to re-wet the cotton, burns fast. When me and the misses are out, I'll walk across the street or to and area without people to vape, just be courteous. One thing I do flying with mine, no matter where, disassemble the entire unit i.e. Mod, Tank and batteries. I put the mod and tank in separate bags and keep the batteries in my carry on of course. If someone opens it and see's the mod or tank alone they probably won't think twice or know what it is. You don't know how many times I've had to explain what it is when I carried everything in my carry on, of course still disassembled.

I would say same applies to any other drugs you want to blow in my face, but I have no doubt that would resukt in outrage that anyone might objext to some good old harmless weed in the face!

To the best of my feeble memory, Samdech HE banned the import, sale or use of vaping devices and hookah pipes several years ago. it is banned in Thailand and there were signs to that effect at customs in Suvarnabuhmi a week ago.marcus Welby wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:28 pm Hi all.
I have been checking online about vaping ib Cambodia & Vietnam, and the answers are hard to find with any certainty, so can I ask you guys
on the ground is it safe to vape, or is it a gray area? Can you get into trouble with the authorities over vaping? Obvs will respect the laws over there, but
it seems crazy that vaping could be illegal out there, and who wants hassle over such a trivial thing?
Many thanks in advance for your input.

Correct, though vaping kits and juice are openly sold pretty openly, at least in Temple Town.pczz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 2:15 amTo the best of my feeble memory, Samdech HE banned the import, sale or use of vaping devices and hookah pipes several years ago. it is banned in Thailand and there were signs to that effect at customs in Suvarnabuhmi a week ago.marcus Welby wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:28 pm Hi all.

In PP, there are quite a few mini-marts that sell the juices or can go to a vape shop if not enough variety in the mini marts.

Re: Vaping in Cambodia & Vietnam
I would like to see how many people were killed by guns during the same period? 40 a day?Ravensnest wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 6:43 am I discreetly vape and have for over a year. apparently on paper, it's illegal but like most things here not enforced. I would not risk vaping in front of a police officer though. surely you'd be subject to paying a "fine".
the 6 US deaths were from juices with THC (weed) not regular e-juice. Either way, how many deaths have there been from cigarettes? only 6 from vaping! isn't that proof enough how much safer vaping is? I sure hope politicians use their brains and not listen to powerful lobbyists.
Re: Vaping in Cambodia & Vietnam
Vaping in Vietnam is not legal but you can vape as much as you want but keep doing it politely, even Police's vaping. Here in Cambodia ( PP ) I'm using my Aspire K1 Stealth pod system quite often outdoor but police here is quite hunger for "fine" so maybe it's better to avoid them.
