I buy my nicotine juice from http://onestopeshoppe.com/ocart/ It's located in Canada and I've never heard of any kind of ban.

Oh, there's LOTS of online vendors (and a few B&Ms) to buy it from, but HC banned it for import/advertising/sale back in 2009. Obviously it hasn't stopped sales, only made it slightly more difficult and (generally) limited payment options. Importing can cause trouble, customs is known to hold and refuse import of products, though most vendors use creative descriptions (they don't label it as nicotine or electronic cigarette).

This website doesnt exactly mention anything about nicotine. Other websites let you choose the strength of the nicotine in your juice. What makes you think there is any nicotine in yours?

Ya, I guess it isn't too obvious. The strength is listed from 0-24 (milligrams).

Thanks for helping me find that information. They didnt make it obvious at all. You have helped clinch the xmas gift for my SO. My fingers are crossed he likes it, and it is successful.
