Overview of Vaping in Malaysia
Is it Legal?
At the moment, vaping remains largely legal in Malaysia. This means you won’t get fined or jailed for vaping in public. However, e-liquids sold legally are limited to the 0mg variety only.
Thanks to unconfirmed effects of vaping on long-term health and debatable alternative as a smoking cessation tool, vaping threads a fine line in Malaysia.
As such, the status of vaping in Malaysia hangs in the air as local health authorities remain divided about the health benefits of vaping, particularly as an aid for smoking cessation.
What Malaysian Health Authorities Have to Say About Vaping
Like a lot of vapers everywhere, ex-smokers make up the majority of Malaysian vapers. Most of whom have not touched a cigarette since they picked up vaping.
Although many of these ex-smokers attribute their quitting to e-cigarettes, there are mixed reactions to the effectiveness of vaping as part of a long-term plan to quit smoking.
Quit smoking clinics conducted nationwide usually don’t recommend vaping as an option for smoking cessation.
In one such clinic, a nurse recommended vapers to quit both smoking and vaping, recommending the age-old nicotine gum chewing method instead.
Whether this changes in the near future remains unknown.

Exploring Malaysian E-liquids
Behind The Tastes: Inspiration Behind Our Unique Flavors
Even before vaping ever picked up steam, Malaysia has already made its mark in the world in a lot of ways.
Malaysia’s capital city Kuala Lumpur raced ahead of 175 countries to become the 7th most visited destination in the world, 3 years in a row since 2015. If you’re an avid traveler you might have already been here at least once!
One of the things that draw tourists into Malaysia is its food. Malaysia is probably one of the few places in the world where you can get Indian, Chinese, Malay and even ethnic food… all in the same row!
Our food is so good, even the late Anthony Bourdain had to fly all the way to Malaysia just to get an authentic taste of one of our most famous dishes: a rice-noodle dish in spicy coconut broth called Laksa.
In 2005, the late world famous chef got his first taste of laksa, fell in love with it and had to come back again to have it again ten years later in 2015!
This delicious dish was even ranked by CNN as the #7 on the World’s 50 Best Foods list. You could say, having good food has just become something Malaysians come to expect from living here.
Not only do we make yummy noodle soup Malaysia is also home to the juicy tropical mango and the pungent Durian, both fruits equally loved by Malaysians.
When we are done sampling our laksas and fruits, Malaysians make time for some supper in night markets where we get to choose from an array of sweet, sour, spicy, and creamy supper food with our family and friends.
In the vaping community, this unique blend of cultures, tastes, sights, and sounds has translated into an interesting array of flavors found nowhere else but Malaysia.
So when you vape Malaysian e-liquid, you get a taste of a fusion of cultures, traditions, and tastes. Learn more about why people all over the world are loving Malaysian e-liquids here:

After Making a Purchase: Understanding The Details on Your Malaysian E-liquid
Malaysian e-liquids may have a different packaging, look, feel and taste compared to what you are used to.
Below, we’ll help you navigate your way around some of the things you might find confusing about your e-liquids.
What's on the Packaging?
#1. Missing Nicotine Level Information
Thanks to the muddy regulations surrounding vaping and e-liquids, the packaging on Malaysian e-liquids can get a bit confusing.
Not clearly specifying nicotine levels on the e-liquid packaging is one of the most common problems you'll come face to face with. This is done by brewers in an attempt to evade confiscation during occasional raids at local vape shops by health authorities.
Although these raids are largely for show and posture, they do disrupt local vape businesses and can cause some losses in the short-run.
What this means is that the nicotine level indicated on the e-liquid you buy may not be reflected on the packaging.
Instead, many brewers only indicate the nicotine level with words like ‘low’, ‘medium’ or ‘high’. Generally, ‘low’ means 3mg, ‘medium’ is 6mg and ‘high’ is 12mg.
However, some brewers have especially changed their packaging to cater to the international market where the nicotine level is clearly stated.
Nonetheless, if you are buying from a premium online supplier, they'll make sure you get the right level.
#2. Bad grammar on packaging (occasionally)
While English is widely spoken and taught in schools in Malaysia, for some, speaking and communicating in their native tongue is much preferred.
This is why you'll find grammatical errors on the packaging sometimes. So if you happen to get one with this problem, know that bad copy on the outside doesn't mean bad juice on the inside.
Our brewers more than make up for their occasional poor grammar with their superior tasting e-liquids and beautiful artwork on the juice bottles.
Finally, although packaging standards in Malaysia for e-liquids have come a long way, it's still a work in progress and there is still much room for improvement.
So, stick with us while we get there, why don't ya?
Taste: How is it Different?
#1. Stronger throat hit on lower nicotine levels
For some vapers who are used to say US e-liquids, vaping Malaysian e-liquids can deliver a stronger throat hit.
It does take some time to get used to, so if it is too strong for you, you might want to get one with a lower nicotine level to start off with.
#2. They are usually sweeter
Malaysian e-liquids are known to be some of the sweetest in the global market. This is a reflection of the tastes that are common in Malaysia.
#3. They are also cooler
Maybe because it’s so hot here in Malaysia, so most e-liquids brewed by Malaysians are cool to overcome the hot temperatures here.
However, many brewers have evolved their products for the international market and now produce zero-cooling e-liquids.
Frequently Asked Questions about Malaysian E-liquids
Here we answer some of the most commonly asked questions about Malaysian e-liquids.
Q: Are the ingredients inside them safe?
A: Malaysian brewers use the best quality ingredients sourced locally as well as overseas.
The propyl glycol and vegetable glycerin used in Malaysian e-liquids are supplied by large Malaysian conglomerates that source, manufacture, test and supply these key ingredients domestically as well as to the rest of the world.
99% of Malaysian brewers use palm oil derived glycerin because Malaysia is the second largest producer of palm oil globally.
The specifications and quality levels can all be customized and are controlled by these companies which are a huge advantage.
In terms of flavor ingredients, Malaysian brewers import the flavors from US and Swiss manufacturers in addition to local GMP manufacturers.
So yes, you can be assured that our ingredients are safe.

Q: How should I store Malaysian e-liquids?
A: E-liquids from Malaysia can be stored in the same way you store any other e-liquid.
