After I read this, I've since stopped recommending e-Cigarettes as a safe alternative to smoking.

So, I finally made the plunge. Paid 140 ish for my starter kit. Got two e cigs with two batteries in it though. I was told to buy Halo or other American liquids and to avoid the Korean ones. But, the Korean distributors only have medium nicotine level and two or three flavors at most. One seems to be called Torque which feels like smoking a cigar.

I decided to order 3 bottles from Halo directly. I chose light nicotine regular cigarette tobocco type of flavor with a less strong 'throat hit'.

Each bottle was 20 bucks but will last a long time. Total was 60 bucks and then some tobacco tax and education tax was charged here of 54,000 won which I paid at the post office and then had the stamped paid form faxed to the number they gave me for customs. Paid another 12,000 won to the delivery man for some reason even though I paid regular postage from HALO for the shipping. That was 35 bucks?

Total bill was almost 160 bucks? Halo liquid in Korea was 45,000 won a bottle with very limited selection and higher nicotine content. So, maybe I paid an extra 7,000 won a bottle this way?

Anyways, if that clears it up looking for folks to purchase the liquid. My friend orders the Halo because a Korean co teacher at his school orders this himself and he goes through him but has very limited selection via this Korean website just like the stores.

Anyways, there are others out there I've learned. So, if there are other good sites, please post here for all to see.

Just got an order of juice in today, ten of them and some kanthal. I must've been lucky… customs let it right through and I didn't have to pay any taxes. All was clearly labeled as e-liquid with nicotine content from Frontier Vapor. Couldn't be happier now.

Well, the one I thought I'd like most I don't like much.. vanilla bourbon. This one had high reviews. Of the ones I tried I like cherry limeade the best. They were only $5 a bottle, or so. I haven't tried enough of them to know what PG/VG ratio is best for me.

People say that when you get liquids you don't like, hang on to them because they'll taste different after steeping or with a different setup. So I've set aside three of them so far.

I'm pretty new to the whole thing, but looks like vaping is taking off here. Shops are popping up everywhere. I'm using a Korean kit, but I have no problems with it. I also have a Kayfun on the way from FastTech.

I like the liquids from the US because they come with child-proof caps and the contents are clearly labeled (PG/VG/nicotine/flavoring). I haven't touched a cigarette since getting my kit, and I was a heavy smoker. The wife is super happy, and my car now stays clean.

5.49USD for single 16mL flavor liquids from frontiervapor.com, 9.49 for 32mL. You choose the PG/VG ratio and nicotine content. Their own blends are a bit more.
Discount code "reddit" may still get you 10% off. Shipping for my 10 bottles was $42.30, but came pretty fast. Still beats the Korean prices. The benefit to buying locally is you can try them before you buy.

I didn't think flavorings could match the taste of a cigarette and have resigned myself to syrupy or menthol flavors (no flavor is like breathing sauna gas), but I brought my friend to a shop today and we tasted one that was extremely close to a natural taste. I didn't get the name of it but I can ask him for a picture if you like.
