    Does anyone know anywhere selling Hometown hero e juice?

    Its a great liquid that has some lovely flavours.

    Otherwise, when ordering from the US, will juice be dinged by customs and cost crazy amounts?

    Interesting search that! This is the only vendor that I could find online between here and the UK - http://ziggicig.com/product-category/flavours/hometown-hero-high-vg/. Never ordered from them myself so can't say if they're any good.

    As regards ordering from the US - I'm not sure if we can import bottles > 10 ml now with the latest draconian TPD restrictions coming into force. I know some of the UK online retailers can sell existing > 10 ml stock, but once that runs out, it's 10 ml bottles only.

    Any time I purchased from the USA it was for 120 ml bottles - each time I got charged VAT on both the goods and the delivery charge, usually a couple of days after I received the goods (FedEx was the carrier in those cases - they'll pay the customs charges on your behalf, then chase you for that amount plus a facilitation fee I think). I paid something like 160 dollars for the juice plus shipping, and paid FedEx another €30 give or take to cover the VAT charges.

    Hope this helps!

    Ziggicig are the sole distributor for Ireland and hometown hero won't allow any other shops to stock it.

    It's a pain because their witch doctor juice is hands down the nicest juice I've ever tasted.

    The lads in Palmerston used to stock it but were blocked because they were selling it too cheap or so they told me.
    Ridiculous behaviour by a distributor to be honest.Surely if you want your product out there it makes sense to have it in as many retailers as possible.
    Makes no business sense at all.

    Hasn't been in stock in months.
    Id say he's in the same boat as other shops.
