As our Oz customers will know the Australian TGA is changing things slightly come 1st October 2021 meaning that you are required to have a prescription to “legally” import nicotine from this date onwards – in theory this is already the case in most states of Australia, so you can see how well this is going to be policed ………
Never the less we want to make sure that all of our Oz Fam are covered and still able to import nicotine from international suppliers like ourselves, rather than being ripped off by Big Pharma in Australian chemists.
IS NICOTINE BEING BANNED?
CAN I STILL “LEGALLY” IMPORT & USE NICOTINE IN AUSTRALIA?
Yes, as long as you have a prescription from 1st October 2021.
WILL MIXOLOGY CONTINUE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA?
Yes of course – we can’t assess whether you a have a prescription or not so we will have to assume you do – basically it will be business as usual from our end.
You can now upload your prescriptions during checkout – found below the “place order” button.
WHERE/HOW DO I GET A PRESCRIPTION?
There is good news on this front and our friends at ATHRAÂ (Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association) have done all the leg work for you.
On this page you will find local Doctor’s in your state who will be able to prescribe nicotine for you to keep you on the right side of “The Man”. There is a new prescriber list from the TGA also which we hope will be continuously updated.

Still unsure? Take it from the TGA:
The quit clinics doctor I spoke with would only prescribe the pharmacy only pod system.
I used vapingscripts.com.au and got a Telehealth appointment same day and got the script I needed for liquid nicotine importation.
Downside first appointment is $49.95 but upside all repeats are bulk billed for Medicare card holders.
Just upload at checkout 🙂 https://www.mixologyvape.co.nz/tutorial-adding-your-nicotine-prescription-to-an-order/
How do I attach the prescription to my order of nicotine?
I was not able to use the Find a local GP for a nicotine substitute prescription, however, if you register for swiftdoc, A 10 min telehealth apptmnt is free and easy to book.
Hi Mark – we cant unfortunately due to coding in the back of the site, however we dont really need to get the scripts from you anyway. As long as you have one and if customs happen to check and call you can provide it to them then – we havent had any issues as yet by the way either.
I have a script, have taken pic with iPhone but iy’s a jpeg and can’t convert it to a PDF, can you enable uploads in jpeg format please?
What about those of us who vape because we want to and not as a means of smoking cessation?
I haven’t smoked a cigarette in 16 or 17 years. I took up vaping as I like nicotine. I have no plans to stop.
I don’t want to lie as then I’ll have recent smoking on my medical history which affects my insurances.
Can you get a prescription as a non-smoker who just happens to enjoy vaping?
Would be nice if the Government just stayed out of my busines.
Link to Quit Clinics is in the content above Tito https://www.quitclinics.com/
Hi Tito, in over 10 years of doing this – no one has quite worked that out yet. Based on what we’ve seen, 20 bottles is not over 3 months worth lol.
Sorry guys just one more question how to find the qr code on quit clinics and how to use it
The TGA said that I can only import 3 month worth of supply. So just a question
How much is a 3 month worth of supply
Thats a question for the TGA, but no we dont forsee any issues at this point in time 🙂
Hi Russell, as long as you have it on hand, that is fine. Customs if they bother checking would call and you would be fine anyway. We dont believe there will be any issues in any case for some months as yet.
I have placed an order for nicotine without the prescription which I have .can I upload the prescription after the order has been placed .I cannot find anything in the menu that allows me to do this
Hello, I ordered nicotine on the 28th of September from u guys, does the nicotine restrictions in Australia include orders that were made before the 1st of October?
Should be shipped tomorrow – customs will be OK too
Ordered nicotine today 26/9/21 to Sydney. Will it clear by next Friday? Cheers phil
Hi Tito, just add to cart as always 🙂 If you need assistance during the process please jump on the chatbot online.
Hi guys can you please guide me on the step by step process that I need to take in order to buy nicotine
Hi Kiri – not knowing where you live, it would certainly be well through customs before Oct 1st anyway
If I order today, and it’s not here by the 1st of October, so you think I’ll still get it
Thanks so much for all this info!! I was really nervous about not being able to get nicotine. My hubby & I gave up both gave up smoking by vaping… the only thing that worked for us. This has put my mind to rest 😀
This was very helpful and informative. I have been stressed about the scripts as I was a very heavy smoker since the age of 14yrs till 70yrs I had tried all the methods available over the yrs, and Vaping has been the only successful item
Yes of course, but as noted above wouldnt be too concerned about this date in general.
If I order today will it arrive in Australia before the 1st of October
Hi Watene its in the text above 🙂 https://www.quitclinics.com/
Can someone post a link of the quits clinic
easy to get a prescription when using the Quit Clinics QR code, thanks team
I thought it was going to be a hassle having to get a prescription, but the paper with the QR code made it much easier for me. I scanned it on my phone, it took me straight to the page. There was easy to follow instructions and it took me maybe a couple of minutes to fill out.
I sourced my prescription through Quit Clinics and the process couldn’t have been easier, there was no need to see a doctor in person, just a quick identification process and a two minute survey around my smoking history and use of vaping as a smoking cessation tool. My script was in my inbox the following morning, highly recommend!
