    UK - Disposable vapes are set to be banned as part of plans to tackle the rising number of young people taking up vaping

    And now for the clincher... UK Govnmnt to tax vaping - £1 per 10ml of liquid if nicotine-free rising to £3 per 10ml if over 11mg of nicotine. The reasoning ? To discourage under-age vaping (even though every other 'report' states children are using disposables so would probably never have bought...

    I wonder?

    Simple answer - No, i can't afford to smoke. Longer answer - here in the UK a pack a day habit costs in the region of £100 a week, before i stopped i was on a pack and a half :eek: - that's more than my available disposable income (in fact it is about the same as my mortgage payments). I would...

    Ok I didn't see this already anywhere so here it goes ...why does it seem all disposables have that ice/menthol hit to them no matter what the flavor

    The menthol increases the throat hit. Essential for getting new vapers hooked on low powered, expensive and non user-serviceable devices. Next.

    Do you buy multiple devices of the same mod?

    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away i found the perfect set-up for me. A Provari 2 with a Kayfun. I proceeded to buy eight Provaris, a whole bunch of beauty rings, alternative end caps and at least 20 Kayfuns .... I now use a (clone) Doggy on pretty much any single battery mod except the...

    Please help if you can MTL

    Ok, if the best vape experience you have is when the wick burns then you need to change your vaping parameters. The set-up and liquid you use is not satisfying you if you have to turn up the wattage (to the point of burning) to enjoy it. You're basically vaping and inhaling fumes...

    Please help if you can MTL

    One question - when you find that the wick has separated into two pieces, is that happening after you have experienced a good vaping experience or is it the opposite ?

    Charging through device nowadays?

    I charge my batteries externally because a) i have invested in a good charger, b) i always have batteries in rotation, c) it's more convenient to swap batteries rather than have a device out of commission whilst it charges, d) i am not confident in the quality of built-in chargers, e) there is...

    How long have you all been vaping?

    I had hair on my head rather than everywhere but my head and my waste size was less than my leg when i started vaping...... I think i gave up counting after 10 years. No doubt i will be buried clutching a vape (and i'm still using the same e-liquid flavour - Hangsen RY2). I've lived through...

    A question about Nicotine Strength and Wattages

    Forget the power. How many ml of what strength liquid are you vaping a day. That's your ballpark figure (i.e 10ml x 3MG = 30MG, 5ml x 18MG = 90MG of nicotine). That's the easy part. Now you need to work out how much nicotine your body is actually absorbing. Unfortunately no-one actually knows...

    Just wanted to see other users opinions. Around 250 puffs a day on counter. Is that too much?

    The puff counter is largely irrelevant and is only really useful as a measure between devices for battery longevity. The volume of e-liquid you are using is all that should concern you... One person may take 600 'puffs' to consume 3ml of liquid, another may take 200. Some may even get through...

    Condensation In My Apartment!

    Sorry - i assumed that your RH had increased. If it has remained constant throughout then it may just be down to the size of the apartment and ventilation options. If you are having no issues with mould growth then i don't think you have anything to worry about.... As for changes - i once asked...

    Condensation In My Apartment!

    Relative humidity tells you the amount of water vapour in the air. Vaping/not vaping will make no difference (unless you are vaping water). Either your lifestyle is producing more water vapour than the volume of air in your apartment can handle or something else is introducing excess water. Test...

    Anyone still rocking the Doggystyle 2k16?

    I still consider it the best MTL atomiser i've ever used. I've worn out three of them and have another dozen or so and fifty to sixty spare tanks to work may way through. I guess i'll be looking for something else around 2030.

    FastTech Only Selling Items Which Are In Inventory Now

    I'm surprised that this issue hasn't garnered more responses - maybe it's because FT had a bigger role in providing cheap and diverse vaping options in the UK than in the US ? To me, it's the end of an era - a milestone in my vaping life :(

    NEW Dicodes Dani Box Mini

    The original ProVari (2) always read the battery under load if you had an atty on it. Had to remove the atty to check the resting voltage... was sometimes scary to see the battery indicator showing 3.7v on a freshly charged cell. Especially if the mod cut out at 3.5v !!

    peripheral Artery disease

    An (temporary) increase in blood pressure has been discussed and accepted as one of the downsides of using nicotine and is not new. Similarly using caffeine has much the same effect. The arterial stiffness aspect is a result of the increase in blood pressure and is, as far as i know, also...

    BEST Place For Long-Term Storage?

    I've always found that flavoured e-liquid with no nicotine stores best at room temperature away from direct light. Liquid with nicotine gets stored in the freezer - but some flavours (such as fruits) will deteriorate regardless of how they're stored. Tobacco inspired flavours seem to last the...
