We Asked the Inventor of the E-Cigarette What He Thinks About Vape Regulations
TL;DR - He's in favour of the deeming regulations and doesn't think people should DIY.
I was watching the BBC documentary "E-Cigarettes: Miracle or Menace?" the other day, which included a short interview with Hon Lik, who as I'm sure you all know is the inventor of the electronic cigarette that we are all using every day.

Jeremy Clarke, who writes the Low Life column in the Spectator, has written a piece about how he started vaping. I regard Clarke to be one of the finest living writers in the English language - on a good day he can move me to tears - the pieces he writes about his young grandson Oscar are some...
There's a good article in the Spectator by Rory Sutherland that explains the popularity of vape shops by comparing them with old style pipe tobacconists.

The BBC just ran a section of the show Fake Britain on bogus safety marks on ecigs. They showed ecig blister packs with the mark SGS displayed on the back. SGS is a testing body that tests electrical and other equipment for safety. The telling point was that an SGS spokesman said that they have...
My 20w Istick, after 8 months of everyday use, finally stripped it's threads so I've just got the 40W TC version which came supplied with a GS Air tank fitted with a nickel coil (actually a TECC Curve with CS air tank but they're just rebranded).
The Kanthal coils in my previous device used to...

I was trying to find a thread from a couple of months ago, with the latest post being maybe a week before the changeover and it's just not there when I search for it. I eventually found it using Google to do a site search so it's still there.
