(Here's the official government announcement - see link https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-greg-hunt-mp/media/preventing-nicotine-uptake-by-young-australians-with-prescription-based-vaping).
Some might say we have won half the battle (Well, some would say we have lost the battle instead), but we do think that the war is still on and we still have a slight chance of getting this law reversed and making nicotine sales legal in Australian vape stores. *cross fingers*

You may heard that you can't buy nicotine vape juice in Australia for your private use? It's not true!
THE TRUTH IS...
You CAN buy e-liquid containing nicotine if you live in Australia, you just have to order them from outside Australia (overseas) and order a 3-month or less supply for personal use. However, nicotine liquid (pure) are bound by TGA laws which in most states requires a valid prescriptions from Australian medical practitioners.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING NICOTINE E-LIQUID IN AUSTRALIA
Based on the current law regarding Nicotine e liquid or Nicotine vape juice in Australia means we are not able to manufacture/sell our nicotine products within Australian soils (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, South Australia, etc). Hence, all our pre-mixed nicotine products for sale are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and shipped worldwide with standard express international air mail.
