    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    Yes that wholesale exception has been written into the UK TPD rules. Another loophole to exploit. Yay.

    2017... what gear is coming?

    It has 2gb of memory, but how much the colour screen, mp3 player and activity tracker wears out your battery isn't stated.

    REPAIRING WARN BATTERY THREADS

    I had the same problem with my Istick 20w. You want to be careful using silver paper and make sure it doesn't short out the battery. I use a strip (about 2 or 3mm wide) of thin card jammed between the threads and the atty. It'll work for a while till it gets wet with leaked juice and then it'll...

    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    Actually now I rethink and remember it, the 2ml limit in the UK applies only to pre filled tanks/cartridges - and as most aren't prefilled that's another loohole to be exploited.

    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    Actually in the Uk the max tank size is going to be 2ml.

    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    The "Refill Container" thing applies to the UK. You'd have to read the regs in your country to find out what's happening exactly. But it looks like they may be looking for ways round the regs. Good.

    BAD experiences with DIY so far.

    Did you make a mistake when mixing and accidentally used the nic bottle instead of PG or VG bottle. That would make it very strong.

    BAD experiences with DIY so far.

    Well this is a weird one. Have you checked your PG & VG? Are you sure you haven't accidentally ordered them with nic in? Try vaping a small amount of them individually and see if you get any symptoms. If they're Ok try mixing up some zero nic with flavouring and see if that's Ok. If that's...

    As a gift

    They're not expensive things these days. They're fairly well built - I've got one that I've had for 2 years now, though only used occasionally, and it's still working fine. Also buy some spare coils when you get them as coils only last a week or two.

    As a gift

    Evod ecigs are what a lot of people use to start with. I had several and they work just fine for a beginner. And lots of places sell them in double kits, so you've always got a spare to use when one is charging. And they shouldn't cost too much either. Google "Double Evod kit" and you'll find...

    VUSE RED/WHITE flashing FIX!!!!!!

    Ahem..... From Wikipedia An urban legend states that NASA spent a large amount of money to develop a pen that would write in space (the result purportedly being the Fisher Space Pen), while the Soviets just used pencils.[2][3] There is a grain of truth: NASA began to develop a space pen, but...

    VUSE RED/WHITE flashing FIX!!!!!!

    The thing about NASA spending millions to design a pen that works in space is something of an urban myth. They actually bought pens from a man who was a sub aqua diver who had wanted a pen that could work underwater and upside down, so he designed one. Nasa found they also worked in space so...

    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    Here's the appropriate wording from Gov.UK E-cigarettes: regulations for consumer products - GOV.UK "Refill container’ means a receptacle that holds a nicotine-containing liquid, which can be used to refill an electronic cigarette. These are more commonly known as e-liquids." So if you can't...

    EU TPD begins to take effect (DIYers in for more expense)

    My reading of the TPD regs in the UK is that the 10ml max size and 20mg max strength only applies to bottles designed to refill ecigs from. So if you're buying big bottles without a spout on the top and only of a strength that needs diluting, so they can't be used for directly filling an ecig...

    Synthetic Nicotine: Could it save vaping?

    If the regulators can pass a law that makes a glass and stainless steel tank a tobacco product then synthetic nicotine has no chance of evading the regulations. Shame but there it is.

Panic ensues "But public health does not appear to be a priority for the many in Public Health, just as saving the planet wasn’t really the priority for people who said they wanted...
