Vaporisers (e-cigarettes)

There are many bricks-and-mortar vape shops and online business in Australia where you can buy quality devices and accessories. Search online for Australian vape stores. Vape shops are generally staffed by former smokers who now vape and can give you practical advice. Make sure you purchase a reputable brand and understand how to use the device safely. It is also important to stop smoking altogether when you are ready, in order to get the full benefit of vaping.

Nicotine
