The sale of nicotine in Australia with electronic cigarettes is prohibited according the TGA as it is classified as a dangerous poison. (Source: 2013: http://www.tga.gov.au/consumers/ecigarettes.htm) Evape complies with this and only sells e-liquid that contains no nicotine.

The law is grey when it comes to personal importation of the substance into Australia. It is considered a class 7 poison, but has been classed otherwise depending on the situation. Class 2, puts it as pharmacy medicine, that may require advice from a pharmacist before use, or class 4, prescription only medicine which applies when the nicotine solution has been devised as a nicotine withdrawal aid.

Basically, the interpretation is that if nicotine that is not labelled as a therapeutic device or quit smoking aide, it is generally considered legal to import by individuals for personal use. This is providing that it does not make any such claims on the labelling. If you are choosing to buy nicotine e-liquid into Australia for personal use, keep in mind that you do so at your own risk.

Some guidelines and common sense do need to be followed if you are considering purchasing nicotine from overseas for personal use with electronic cigarettes.  If you adhere to the following points, you should be fine when it comes to importing this for yourself.

1. The first and most important of these is to check whether or not the e-liquid is certified within the country you are purchasing it from. For the most comparative certifications of pharmaceutical grades, you would be best to use European or USA guidelines.      
2. Make sure the containers have child proof caps, to minimise the risk of ingestion by a child or pet. If your household bleach has a child proof cap, then it makes sense to have your juice packaged in a similar way.
3. Keep your e-juice out of reach of children or pets, preferably in a high, locked cupboard.
4. Make sure you are aware of the strength of nicotine contained within your e-liquid. Some overseas sellers only state low, medium or high strength, but do not specify how many milligrams of nicotine is contained within the solution.
5. Always use gloves or protection when filling cartridges or cartomizers with nicotine based solutions, this will protect your skin from any contamination.

If you are looking to import nicotine e-juice to Australia, Evape recommends you get it from www.evapejuice.com.au. The e-liquid sold here is made in Europe and drop shipped directly, and your payment is taken in New Zealand. The e-juice comes in two strengths of 12mg and 18mg only, in an array of flavours. It has also been certified as pharmaceutically grade according to European and USA standards.

Many people find that they are happy to use e-cigarettes without nicotine, but for those who prefer it, there are ways to obtain this for recreational use. Just remember to be safe and use the product with care.
