Australian Vaping Regulation Change (Mar 1, 2024)

How to get nicotine e-liquids, pods and unflavoured nicotine in Australia?

As of October 1st, 2021, nicotine e-liquids, pods, and unflavoured nicotine is classified as a schedule 4 prescription only medicine. This means you will have to find a doctor that will prescribe your vaping as a smoking cessation aide. (If you use 0mg products, this does not apply and you can order as per usual, although you will soon require a script for ALL vaping products)

Do I need a nicotine prescription immediately?

Yes, your prescription must be attached or they will be unable to accept the parcel.
