there just a tank named kangertech CLtank appeared.

Looks like this Child Lock feature is going to be popular in those Chinese manufacturers' design?
Following the AIO all in one pen by Joyetech, now Kanger seems joined the game.

this tank looks not so good for me and so far it's not yet on Kangertech website, 4mL sub-ohm,
with max juice level mark outside the tank.

Do vapers really need this feature? at least there must be children around :)
and if they're around, I prefer keep the device away from them..

EDIT:
from manufactures' standpoint, it's a move to save the business, but it's also saving the vaping rights as if there's no devices pass the harsh regulations, vapers will have few choices in the market.
I know Phil and Dimitris and senator duncan and so many people including giants in the industry had tried so hard to save the vaping world for us and I really appreciate it, but looks like the law makers are still keeping their stance, a child proof so far today makes less impact on vaping experience but it may lead to further steps much more harsh and bring much more negative impact on convenient vaping experience, as an alternative that helped so many reduced tobacco harm, it's not a good trend :(

If the child lock were also a LEAK-lock, I could see people being very interested.
Plus, I think it's weirder that the max juice level is half empty!

Yes agreed on both points!
it should be a leak proof at least from the top,
and weird to mark the max that way at that position, plus the logo is way too big, making it no looking good for me from outside

I don't have kids in the house, my pets don't have thumbs, and I don't like childproof ANYTHING.

The EU regulations, some of which come into force on May 2016, require amongst other things, child proof tanks, leak proof filling systems, and a maximum juice capacity of 2ml.

This is far from a gimmick. This is to make sure that products are available for the European market.

Forget how good the Cubis looks. Soon it looks like it will be illegal to offer it for sale in the EU.

I've never seen anything "childproof". Adultproof yes, childproof no.
Reminds me of the days when families would go to the store together and you would hear the father say to the child, " we'll buy the more expensive VCR if you promise to show your mother and I how to program it."

Younger members call your parents if you don't know what a VCR is. Your mom says you don't do it enough anyway. :pervy:

I couldn't agree more. But if they can put any mechanism on here that will satisfy the regulators, and not be too difficult to operate, I'm all for it. I don't wish to stop vaping. It is probably only a matter of time before these type of tops are also a requirement in the US. Then this will be all you can buy.

If it's a new regulation which keeps us vaping then I'm all for this but if it's just a new feature I don't see the point

I have 30 tanks 10 mods in my house all locked away[/QUOTE]

Definitely a new regulation. Article 20 of the TPD (Tobacco Products Directive).

No one can stop you using the tanks you already have, but manufacturers would be crazy if they ignored new regulations. It's great that products are available now that meet new regulations. It's a sign of a creative, vibrant, evolving industry.

I've planned for this for a while now most of my tanks are rtas

I love my sub ohm tanks but those big ... coils maybe a thing of the past

I hope the juice is easy to manage

My local Brewer will not change what he does unless forced but he is a home Brewer so they won't catch him quick hopefully

What are the rules for juice?

I still don't understand all this
