Hello ![]()
I promised in the other announcement that we would try to summarize the situation a bit. It is important to state upfront: this topic is not about offering everything on a silver platter. Rather, we want to convey a conscious mindset so that if you are looking for something, you know where it is worth starting.
First, it is important to clarify a few things that are good for you to know. Please, first and foremost, read this article: The Great Hungarian E-Cig Situation from 2012 to Today
If you are still a beginner, or have just stumbled into the topic, it might seem strange that the more experienced members do not directly answer publicly, for example, where one can order liquid.
This is not directed against you; rather, it protects the long-term interests of the Community. Some shops, if they receive too much attention, might stop shipping to Hungary, even if they sell products not subject to excise duty. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once.
Furthermore, if you are looking for a source for nicotine products, for example, we reject it and do not display it on the site because Hungarian laws prohibit the public display of nicotine sourcing locations, and Vaperina strives to comply with all relevant regulations.
The best answer you can get in such a case is actually the greatest help:
“Search for it (on Google), or ask ChatGPT.”
This is good because it does not jeopardize the future, on any level.
If you have been buying ready-made liquid until now…
…then now is the time to change that and start mixing yourself!
- You can find plenty of help in the discussions on the site. If you have a question, feel free to create a new topic!
- More experienced members will gladly help, as always.
- You can also ask Gilbert.
- You can use our VapeDIY application, which allows you to easily calculate mixing ratios (i.e., “how much of what”).
This way you will manage much more easily, and sourcing the ingredients needed for the base liquid is currently not legally restricted in Hungary, however, nicotine can only be legally purchased in National Tobacco Shops.
Besides, mixing is a simple thing, there is no reason to worry. ![]()
Hungary
Base Liquid
Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) are the two main components of the base liquid. Important: only together, mixed, do they qualify as base liquid, so they can be purchased legally without issue separately in Hungary.
Aroma, Shake and Vape, other supplies
- Aromacenter.hu
- Aroma49.hu
- Solubaroma.hu
- Flavorhook.eu
- Aromapalota.hu - they also have a physical store in Budapest. Since these are pastry aromas, the medium in which the aroma is dissolved is an important factor. Therefore, ask for advice before purchasing!
- Adok-Veszek > Aromák - it is worth checking the classifieds sometimes.
(By the way: it is possible without aroma…)
Nicotine booster
Nicotine is an excise-taxable product, therefore it can only be legally purchased in National Tobacco Shops. Under the EU TPD regulation, only 10 ml packages with a maximum strength of 20 mg/ml are available.
Ready-made nicotine-free liquid
Can only be purchased in National Tobacco Shops.
You can find the selection of tobacconists here: Mikrofiber.hu
Neighboring countries
If you live near the border, you can easily pop over to Slovakia, for example, where you can get what you need.
Important: what you bring in from abroad must be for personal use only and must be a legal ingredient in Hungary.
Use a search engine, for example:
“city name + vape shop”
Example: Párkány vape shop search
At your own risk
Vaperina does not encourage or promote legally questionable sourcing methods. The goal is solely to support independent, conscious decision-making.
Numerous (French, Greek, Spanish, Italian, etc.) webshops are available that ship within the EU.
Use a search engine or ask an AI, such as ChatGPT.
For example, type into the Google search bar:
“country name + vape webshop”
If you find something and are unsure if it is trustworthy:
- Search for it on Vaperina, perhaps someone has already written about it
- Check Google reviews
- Ask the AI to look into it
Also check the AkciĂłk (deals) category!
In the case of such orders, all responsibility lies with the buyer. Authorities may seize the package or impose a fine, although this is rare, it is better if you are aware of it.
Stay informed
This is perhaps one of the most important things: watch for changes!
Follow legal and community developments at home and in the EU.
If you are aware of the situation, you will not be surprised!
If you get stuck anywhere, don’t be afraid to ask!
The
Community is here to help.
And don’t forget: the more you learn, the easier it will be for you to manage in the world of vaping too!
