Maggie's was quite basic and it still came to over 4 grand; ouch

Gosh! That's costly.
My Dad died in 2004, and I can't remember now how much it all cost, but it was nowhere near that much.

I've got 3 of their Rebranded range and haven't tried any of them yet

Must admit, I have a handful of them untried! ...I just don't like making it myself, but suppose I'll have to get used to it
I've got a nice sounding Strawberry Ice Cream one from the One Shot range and I'll try making some of that this week.

A few ranges show being out of stock ...wonder if they're being moved to this site in the making: www.chefsflavours.co.uk

I was expecting about 1 and a half, thinking 2 and half for a burial, so was shocked when I saw how much.

could well be - wondering if they might even close down the ready made stuff once everything comes into place

Yes, that's roughly what I'd have expected. Wonder if these things are more costly in the south in the same way many other things are.

Suppose it's a possibility, but hope not - I'd still buy a few small bottles ...perhaps even higher nicotine than I use, and then dilute them with 0 DIY.
We'll just have to wait & see.

I got mail:
Spinner/tank & coils from FT.
According to tracking, it's been in the UK since 22nd April - came via Singapore post.

My Pico is in the country - just not here yet!

I think SP just make it up as they go along
Someone posted on the FT forum to use these links for better tracking on SP.Haven't tried them,but i have a mod coming via Sing(built in batt)so will probably see if they are any better than 17track.But wouldn't imagine so.

This is an order via China post for two basic tanks (Evod & Spinner) plus some coils: 2016-05-03 17:25 United Kingdom Langley, to Exchange Bureau

.....and this is my Pico, again China post: 2016-05-03 09:38 United Kingdom Langley, to Exchange Bureau

Things seem to be taking longer. The one that arrived today came into the UK late April, so looks like there's a while to wait

How are the other Higgyjuices Trish?
I put another order in from there yesterday.
And i've just ordered 300ml from Sleekit in Scotland.
3x 100ml bottles,using the 10% discount code,including postage came to £43.50.
30/70 ratio.

I was just thinking about those earlier ....find it hard to get past the Dark Chocolate Almond she made for me!
I did try Almond Cream Pie - which is very nice, and Knickerbocker Glory - very nice, just not sure if I like the Chefs Trifle concentrate better/equally ...need to try both again (probably find both are different!).
Still need to try the Pineapple Ice Cream, Banana Pudding, and Fluffermint.

I'm sure there were a few others I liked the sound of too! Will definitely order a larger bottle of the Dark Chocolate Almond one!

Is it your first order from Sleekit?
Lemon Custard, and perhaps Creamery sound nice.

I placed an order with Stash US on 4th. At the airport in Florida on 5th, and cleared London this morning! That was fast

Today I placed an order with Chefs for a top-up of the various MCV flavourings (190ml in total), 250ml Nicotine, 150ml ready to use 3mg VG base, 10ml Cherry Bakewell flavouring.

I'm trying to keep up with the 'Deeming Regulations' thread (US), and although not too clear on the full extent of restrictions etc., I'm already wondering what knock-on effect it'll have on us and the rest of Europe ....not only supply of US liquids (which may disappear unless concentrates are used more), but the manufacture and availability of actual equipment. The US must account for a huge percentage of sales, so if the importation of equipment gets stopped, it'll have an effect on the Chinese production of such items.

So far, one thing I think I'm almost understanding is that they have 90 days for any new items to be released ....but - I also hear anything not available pre-2007 is subject to new rules

 

[Brynglas]

Is it your first order from Sleekit?

Yes,first time.
Reviews are good.
But at that price if they need a little doctoring,so be it.But i think they'll be ok

I was watching Matt from suckmymod on YT last night.
He said they are even trying to classify a battery as a vaping product.Extreme or what!
I just want to ring all their scrawny necks.Politicians

Can't see U.S companies bothering with the EU market when the 10ml ruling kicks in.

Right - I'll wait to hear what you think

Just as I was thinking we'd be OK with a decent stock of nicotine, and plenty of concentrates to buy ...along comes this, and it could change a lot, particularly the future supply of decent equipment.

Unbelievable just how bl--dy stupid they're being.

I'd been hoping they'd produce concentrates for the UK/EU market - but with the Deeming fiasco, I wonder now if they'll even still be in business before long.
I'm not sure how bottles of concentrate feature in the US issue.

I read this posted by Katy of Nicoticket (They do a PIF scheme where they send a free bottle to give to someone):
In 90 Days, we will no longer be able to give out free liquid. More than likely we will have to implement some age verification software within that time as well. We have at least a year before we see any major changes.... our attorneys are looking over the deeming regulations to determine our next steps. Don't worry, we aren't going away without a fight!

Nicoticket is one of the bigger suppliers, so goodness knows how the smaller ones will cope with it all - including the extra expense for testing, compliance etc.

This post shows the likely (huge) costs involved:
Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

The couple of vids i watched last night said this could kill 95% of the US vaping industry.

 

[Pictor]

Sad times..

They are sad times - we've been around long enough to see many of these companies grow from small to large through sheer hard work, and in recent times, reinvestment of profit to try and pre-empt all this nonsense.

The couple of vids i watched last night said this could kill 95% of the US vaping industry.

Could be quite accurate - I'm sure this is what these 'rule makers' are hoping will happen too.

 

[Brynglas]

- I'm sure this is what these bribe takers are hoping will happen.

That's better

 

[Pictor]

That's better

Much better!

If they move over to concentrates then the 10ml rule doesn't apply or even to zero nic ready-made, it is only juice containing nic that comes under that rule.
