The Vaping Kiwi opened for business in early 2014 and is run by a two person team based in Auckland, New Zealand, serving both beginners and experts, and offering a wide variety of high quality authentic vaping gear; e-cigarettes and e-liquid from leading brands in the industry. The Vaping Kiwi sells products which are highly regarded in the vaping community, steering clear of low quality knock offs and no brand devices, and is run by vapers, for vapers, with first-hand knowledge of the majority of products they sell.

The Vaping Kiwi strives to offer prices which are competitive with overseas companies so that you can have access to the latest products without the hassle of long shipping times. All products available for purchase are held in stock in New Zealand.

For those who are not aware, Vaping is a smoking alternative which provides a similar experience to smoking a traditional cigarette, but instead of inhaling smoke produced by the combustion of tobacco, the user inhales vapour produced by the vaporisation of a flavoured liquid nicotine (or zero nicotine) solution.

Vaping devices are the evolution of electronic cigarettes and offer a far more enjoyable experience than that of the “cig-a-like” style electronic cigarettes sold in dairies and petrol stations. Every aspect of the vaping experience is customisable and there is a vast selection of flavours and devices available to suit any user.

Typically a personal vaporiser consists of a rechargeable battery and a tank that is filled with electronic cigarette liquid (e-liquid). The e-liquid soaks into a disposable coil and when the battery is activated the coil heats up and vaporises the e-liquid.

The sale of electronic cigarettes and vaping devices in New Zealand is permitted so long as they are not marketed as smoking cessation devices. It is against the law for any New Zealand company to sell e-cigarettes or e-liquid containing nicotine, but there are no restrictions placed around zero nicotine e-liquid, and it is perfectly legal to purchase nicotine e-liquid from overseas vendors and import for personal use.

The Ministry of health recently held a public consultation to look at ways of making nicotine e-liquids and e-cigarettes available for sale legally. The Vaping Kiwi is in full compliance with the law even though there are a large number of retailers who are skirting the law.
