In case you are not on the mailing list, just got this from Rejuiced:
REJUICED - New laws TPD May 20th
Yes, I got one too - I suppose some will carry on as usual until they have to change to 10ml bottles, whilst others will perhaps begin changing sooner ...and perhaps some disappear altogether!

I got mail:
2x30ml Toffee Crème from Manabush (Bunkr).

No sign of my Stash order yet, although it did clear customs finally yesterday!
Unbelievable- it took only 3 days to get here from Florida, and 5 days to then get through customs - be interesting to see if I get a ransom demand first as it's for 180ml in total!

Just received an istick mini. I can't believe companies like dicodes provape. And makers who do premium

It's tiny. As small as you can get top to bottom - it's the height of the actual 18650. Power and temp both seem to work great. Does custom materials (haven't tested yet) the battery is simple to change.

I am sure some of you have them already but this's looks to me to be one of the best 18650 mass produced devices ever. Especially when you factor price in. I'm amazed what ou can. Get for $29 these days.

In fairness they're probably not that durable - I'm sure there's a silicon case - the paint will
Probably encroach easily and it may stop working. If it t
Lasts 6 months for $29 given the function I'll be satisfied. My first istick (30) just died. I was very rough on it. Lasted probably 9 months. I dropped it in water. On the ground a lot. Etc. eventually t just kept saying atomizer short. I think it was a known issue with the insulator under the 510. I tried to fix it and fully broke it. But it was $20. And it lasted almost a year and took endless abuse.

Should throw enough power for cloud blowers too.

I'd love to see them do a double battery design on this. Istick pico duo. I'm going to suggest it

I asked Eco vape about this as they sell me 500ml bulk and they said they already adhere to any laws passed. But how can they sell greater than 10ml bottles with the new laws passed? I suppose you saw the USA laws. Vaping is about to get much more difficult. I'm already stocking up on nicotine s but. And I bought a few more cloud one and pico clones lest it get difficult to order hardware.


I believe Philip Morris and rj Reynolds will buy major companies like aspire and kanger and they will pay to certify their products. Keep the same name. Etc. they'll also buy popular juice makers. They will use their candy fortunes to control the entire market becusee they'll be the only companies who can afford to certify anything .

In the states the certification process is something like $2m a product. Per product. Who else can afford it? It's inevitable that big tobacco gets handed vaping by the fed due to lobbyists and the fact the fed wants Thayer cut. The entire design of these regulations is to put most ecig manufacturers and juice makers out of business. The length of time to enforcement is for the big domaines to asses and purchase the ones most profitable and transition


The fed gets their certification fee and tax dollars and big rtings do regains revenues lost


There's no doubt this company of a country is run on the shoulders of big tobacco - I can't see any way they don't assume control over everything capon which remains. It will take
Air two years and you'll see things like the triton branded under Marlboro and cools sold
I'm lister lacks or integrated into tanks of Juice probably.


It's disgusting by no regulations here are for safety. They're all for this grand scheme to deliver us back to the tobacco overlords and regain lost lobbying and tax money.

Big tobacco doesn't have vaping they don't lay the money to senators etc. so everyone in the fed is making less

Mark my words I ten years or less you'll see a documentary on the timeline of how big tobacco conspired to destroy vaping and was handed it by the us government.

$2m for every tank. Mod. And juice or maybe juice line. That's what it's going to take to stay in business

The outside fringes will be bake to buy flavoring a and concentrate marked for food and nicotine made for mixture into pesticide (major use for nicotine in liquid form) and will vape on old gear or cheap Chinese imports which get seized at the rate of 20% at the border.

Liquid nicotine costs will increase drastically

I was going to sell a bunch of gear but I probably won't now. Injist bought two more cloud one clones and another pico clone as well as a gen 3 Origen dripper and nectar clone. I won't need to buy any nor edit the rest of my life info don't sell anything but since I love the cloud one clone I may as well get them before its much more difficult.


Your regulations are ridiculous feel good pandering laws to parents who don't want to
Parent and nanny wanting incompetents. Our regulations are a master plan to empower big tobacco and bilk millions from the nation of non smokers which is growing and putting tobacco on its heels.

I like the Pico ..really nice design. Haven't tried it yet, but think I should before I put it away in the store box!
A duo version sounds like it could be good too! I find my iStick 100w fine to use, but it is taller than the Pico.

Is your back any better yet?

They don't have to stop selling the larger bottles yet, but will no doubt need to go to 10ml bottles of anything containing nicotine eventually.

I'd like to think you're wrong, but until we see how things pan out, I wouldn't be surprised by anything!

Vapemail :
500 ml VG Premix...500 ml PG...Conentrates, and a freebie Black Cherry Concentrate.
I'm going to be making some Mint Choc Vapetto this coming week, and will also make a large bottle of concentrate soon too. It's still a mainstay flavour of mine :)

Sounds likely!

There's been a few things I almost ditched, then thought better of it - never know what I'll be glad I kept! ;)
I have a good stash of 'stuff' - only buying 18650 mods now, and may get another Pico. Think I have enough nicotine now to keep me more than supplied.

I just hope your regs. don't put ideas in the heads of the rule makers over here!

If they had any sense over there, it would be the other way round, we are getting off pretty lightly, even the rest of Europe will probably be worse off, although the Germans might be okay as their system is quite strict on being correct.

Think my 100ml has been steeping for over a month now, still got about 20ml left of the old stock, it smells exactly like the original, so hopefully tastes just as good :)
I have something like 130ml of old concentrate left, so will make that up in the coming week. Last lot I made was very good, and I made it before the previous batch ran out, and also added a few ml to it to hasten the steep ...worked out well.

Once I make up the 130ml of old concentrate, I'll make some fresh concentrate from scratch - enough to last around a year I hope. That's what I'm hoping will taste the same!

I also want to try and make a Toffee/cream/custard ...something a little similar to the Bunkr one, but doubt it'll be a close match by a long way :laugh: I need to find the best Toffee one to use first.

I didn't have any of the concentrate so just made up 100ml of ready to use from their recipe

I'm sorry for the US and what can only be based on a form of corruption - makes us feel better about our own TPD - even if it is still an absolute pain!

I bought as much as I could before it went completely, plus some ready made 12 & 18mg to dilute.
Nice to know the recipe works fine! :)

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting a slow initial response from this forum, it's okay once it has loaded properly, just not at first.
No, mine is fine - my connection is still in the test socket though ..it works so well, I'm reluctant to plug it all into the faceplate again! Will do soon though because I'll need to phone the tech services again so see 'what next'.
Have you tried doing a scan for tracking cookies? I've sometimes found things improve when I do that. I usually do it every night before shut-down, but run it anytime if it seems sluggish. I use Super Anti Spyware free version and do a quick scan.

Having said that, I just did a refresh on the BQM screen and found it slow to load ...down SNR had dropped to 3.2, but soon recovered and all is OK again!

Thanks, will have to do some investigating, might be the computer - noticed the CPU is thrashing a bit when I first open Google on this forum, once it settles down I can do things normally, but it takes a good few seconds more than normal.

So I have forgotten a out a bunch of juice I made from chefs concentrates. I have to say some have been steeping four months now and every they g that's older than 90 days tastes so much better than in the first six week

@Pictor re:my back. It's a disaster. Something looks like it went wrong. Pt has been interrupted and I have to get another mri and flex xray. The surgeon is being very arrogant and therefore he's refusing to account for error or the chance a knee vertebrae is to blame despite other dr opinions.

It's a mess. And it's ruining my relationship now too

I hope our regulations don't catch on worldwide for sure.

Lemon coconut cake doesn't need a lot of steep and it's one of my favorites. I need to get signed up for stock notifications and order 6 of them.

Qop is so close to great but falls flat. It needs more pastry.

Lees brew for me is not good at all. I love coffee but coffee vapes all taste bad to me.

Bankffe is good but only half a tank at a time. I may make it weaker next time.
