In Australia, the current laws regulating the consumption, use and sale of e-cigarettes are quite strict, particularly if the liquid solution contains nicotine. In accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), nicotine remains a poisonous and addictive substance, which can be harmful to brain development. This brief overview will discuss how users can refill their e-liquid cartridges, where and why e-cigarettes containing nicotine are illegal in Australia, along with other important facts about e-cigarette consumption.

E-cigarette regulations

In Australia,Buying E-Liquids with No-Nicotine in Australia Articles e-cigarettes containing nicotine are illegal and cannot be sold, purchased or used in any state. In particular, a landmark decision in 2016 saw the Supreme Court of Western Australia rule that any tobacco-related product (like e-cigarettes) is illegal, regardless of whether it contains nicotine or not.

Like conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other vaping utensils cannot be used in places where smoking is not allowed. This includes public bars and restaurants (unless there is a designated smoking area), near public swimming pools, hospitals etc.

How to refill your e-liquid cartridges?

If you have legally acquired non-nicotine e-liquids for your vaping device, then you’ll naturally want to know how to fill your e-cigarettes in a safe and clean way. There are two primary ways you can fill your e-liquid cartridges.

Injection method

This is generally the cleanest and most efficient way to refill e-liquid cartridges. For the injection method to work effectively, you’ll need a syringe, which works very well because you can disperse the liquid evenly along the cartridge filler. It also helps when extracting liquid from your cartridges. However, it is important to be careful when inserting the syringe into the cartridge, since you don’t want to damage the atomiser. Instead, rest the end of the needle in the mesh inside the cartridge. Moreover, make sure you dispose of the syringe properly after use.

Drip method

If using a syringe makes your uncomfortable for whatever reason, you can easily fill your e-liquid cartridges with a dripper. While this method will take a lot of time and patience, it is still very effective. However, make sure you concentrate because the dripper can get clogged, which can get very messy if you’re not too careful! After you have finished, make sure you rinse the dripper with cool water, to prevent contamination.

Common e-liquid flavours

E-liquid flavours have grown to become rather wacky and unique over the last few years, especially because many of them are prohibiting from containing nicotine. Indeed, you can purchase traditional e-liquid flavours that replicate traditional cigarette flavours, like menthol and tobacco. These flavours are generally liked by people who aren’t particularly into the fruitier, dessert-flavoured options that younger, more contemporary vapers use.

However, if you are willing to give the more dessert-flavoured options a try, the most popular options usually blend flavours like citrus berries, orange, mango, chocolate, mint, strawberries, watermelon, apples and even coffee.

Be socially aware

As a vaper or smoker of e-cigarettes, it’s important that you are aware of your social obligations to other people. Going beyond the current laws, there are specific social rules that you need to follow for the sake of your friends and those around you. Remember these tips when using your e-cigarettes:

  • Even if your vapour doesn’t contain nicotine, you always need to ask for permission vape in someone’s home or care. In these situations, the best thing to do is to just find an outdoor area
  • Never blow your vapour in the direction of another person (especially near their face). They may have allergies or asthma, which could be aggravated by you blowing the vapour into someone else’s face
  • Do not offer your vaping device to someone under the age of 18
