Yes, IGET Bar devices available for legal purchase within Australia are nicotine-free, in full compliance with Australian regulations.
Here’s a detailed breakdown to clarify the situation:
1. The Legal Framework in Australia
In Australia, nicotine for use in e-cigarettes (vapes) is classified as a Prescription-Only Medicine. This means:
It is illegal to sell any vaping product containing nicotine in retail stores (online or physical) without a prescription.
Consumers can legally access nicotine vapes only by:
Getting a prescription from a doctor.
Importing a limited supply for personal use from overseas pharmacies using that prescription.
2. IGET Bar Products: Two Distinct Types
It’s crucial to understand there are two versions:
IGET Bar (Australian-Compliant Version): The devices sold by authorised Australian retailers like iGetBaroz are 0mg (nicotine-free). They contain flavoured e-liquid but no nicotine.
IGET Bar (International Version): The same brand and device sold in other countries (like the UK, NZ, Canada) often contains nicotine salt e-liquid, typically at strengths of 20mg/ml (2%) or 50mg/ml (5%).
3. How to Tell the Difference & Verify
Packaging: Legally sold Australian products will not list nicotine strength on the packaging. If you see a nicotine strength (e.g., 5%, 2%) printed on a box purchased domestically, it is an imported, non-compliant product.
Reliable Retailers: Purchase from trusted, transparent sellers like iGetBaroz. As an authorised distributor, they clearly state that their domestic stock is nicotine-free and compliant with Australian law.
Product Description: Always check the product description. Reputable sites will explicitly state “0mg ENDS” or “ENDS-Free” for their Australian stock.
Important Warning:
Be cautious of domestic sellers (on social media, some online marketplaces) illegally selling the international nicotine versions. Purchasing these not only breaks the law but also carries risks of receiving counterfeit or unsafe products.
Summary
For a legal and safe purchase within Australia, the IGET Bar devices you buy from compliant retailers do not contain nicotine. If you require a nicotine-containing product, you must follow the legal pathway of obtaining a doctor’s prescription.
