I'm with Surfsup, I'd love to know a little about the British vaping scene as I only know about what the three or four fellows who do the videos and Lisa talk about. I'd also like to know if any royals, members of Parliament or celebrities over there vape, especially in public. We've got who, Johnny Depp and Katherine Heigl. I sure would love the hear that the Q of E sneaks a toot on a GGTS with a UFS between appointments and obligations. But I'd really like to know if the Stig vapes motor oil or not.

Probably about as common as it is in the US as a % of the population. Very few actual storefronts - rents are expensive and decent retail space is at a premium, but there are some temporary stalls in Malls like you have over there.
In theory, you can vape anywhere you like, as long as you ask the owner/manager. Some pubs are actively encouraging it now too. Some still aren't quite sure.
Pretty much exactly the same as it is in the US I'd say.
Don't know about celebrity vapers and certainly I don't know of any members of parliament who are active vapers, but then we only have about 650 MPs. Definitely the Queen is not a vaper or smoker, but I believe her late sister, Princess Margaret was a very heavy smoker prior to her death, so it's possible she may have got on the vaping bandwagon had it been around when she was......
We have our major VapeFest coming up in october, I would imagine there will be a few hundred vapers there.
In my little town I know of at least one mythical vapor roaming our streets and mountains. Haven't come across them yet but I have heard tales of large scented clouds wafting through the canyons.
I went to Vapefest just this past weekend but apparently I went to the wrong Las Vegas. There was one vaper there in Las Vegas New Mexico, ME! But, you know what, I had a blast as there were classic cars everywhere and the band was quite good indeed. It was the children who asked me questions about what I was doing and when I told them it was how I quit smoking they went and got their friends so I could tell them about it. That kind of wierded me out a bit until one kid said they all wanted to get their parents to quit smoking cigarettes. I don't know if they will look into it but I told them to tell their parents to check out the ECF for help if they are interested. So if all of a sudden you begin to see an onslaught of new members from northern New Mexico thank that group of kids.

I like your style, Wingapo, and hope you catch up with your mythical scented cloud creator. 
ROFL.........
My version:
Next season of TOP GEAR
Jeremy Clarkson's voiceover:
and here's the Stig now.... on our test track, rounding the Hammerhead...
oh no!
The Stig has crashed, the Stig has crashed......[shock horror]
Turns out he was trying to DRIP while going 180mph into the HammerHead turn
If anyone coulda done it, it was the Stig............
(apologies to most American who have no clue what i'm talking about, but some Brits are chuckling...
no ....really, they are...
While I still have yet to come across more than stories of the Mythological Vaper I have run into two other vapers in my Land of Entrapment through the ECF. One of them lives right down the road a piece near one of the two best Burritos in New Mexico, SCORE! The other lives down near Madrid and as it turns out he's converted about half the smokers in that area to vaping. It was a vapers paradise down in Madrid. I saw three people with egos on lanyards walking through town and didn't feel bad at all whipping out my GLV Supah Mini and vaping myself senseless in public. Then again I'm finding that due to other substances many in my state prefer to tobacco that a vaporizer of most any size just doesn't garner a second glance most times. In fact the other day I did a mini photo shoot of a couple of my PV's in a Police station parking lot, they had some nice old paddy wagons for back drops, and not a single officer approached me regarding my sticking odd shiny objects all over their vehicles and snapping off a few shots between toots. One day I'd love to cross the pond, visit a few relations over on Seville Row, and vape the English countryside.
If anyone could pull off dripping and driving at high speed it would be the Stig. I can see a whole new spin off show now, Top Gear's Drip & Drive, hosted by the Stig, narrated by Lisaf01, with two blokes from the states as the drip test dummies.
Except that there's at least one small portion of your government that's in possession of a rogue lick of common sense. Nudge, nudge...
Really looking forward to peoples reactions to actually using one of these beauties, to see if they vape as stunningly as they look. I understand the time and cost to perfect something like this but it can not justify gambling a buck fifty on a possible paper weight. I really am rooting for its success though. Interest would really peak if a bottom feeder version could be developed, I really love my Reo Mini.
Sumratio, at least if you gamble on something like the MarkT and lose you'll still have something shiny to fondle, but I think it'll work well as you on polish up something that pretty if it works right.
when i first read this i thought; hah, a negative comment; pessimistic.
But actually it reflects how I have come to view my quest for the best gear, and how possibly there are a couple of ways, besides "ooh shiny; I want it," to look at this mod and its functionality.
1. quality of vape; how is the draw, the vapor production, the flavor?
2. rebuildable; obvious value of having a mod, an atty, that will virtually last forever.
But for a price; I figure most assembled, quality mods like this are over $100. When you figure in the durable nature of the mod, it can pay for itself to a degree, not to mention resale value. Fabricated mods are expensive to produce for a limited market, so the cost is justified as far as what you pay for.
My concern is: #1. vape quality: when i see these mods on video's, all that vapor coming of an exploded version of an atomizer coil just does something to the fiend in me; I want all that vapor; funneled into a little d/t. But that can be deceiving.
I bought an iatty, to use on a VV without the air control function of the GG pv and although the volume of vapor was great, and low resistance and high voltage didn't affect the taste, the draw was too airy for my taste.
There are some great new conventional atomizers out now; disposable, low life expectancy; but for say $120 plus shipping, you are talking a hell of a lot of atomizers; that's a lot of vaping, and just the way i like it.
In many many cases, $120 for a great vaping isn't too much; either way; a rebuildable, or a ton of attys.
IMO these expensive atomizers HAVE TO BE GREAT to vape; really great; just the way i like it, or I won't use it. It'll be on the classys immediately.
I think for me it comes down to "draw"... not too airy; tons of vapor but just the right amount of tightness on the draw.
I wonder why when i first saw it, I assumed it was perfect... i think it's that projection thing; we believe it before we really see it. We want to believe it.
I guess i'm better off waiting to see the reviews.

I know it's tempting to jump in and try to get hold of new things as soon as they are released, but it is never unwise to be cautious, there are many new products coming out all the time, that are being hyped up and then don't deliver. I've got no interest in selling cart loads of stuff that people won't use and will end up being disappointed with and either discard or sell on.
I am only interested in sourcing and retailing products that provide real and genuine solutions for people.
As I've said before, no single thing will suit absolutely everyone and although it has various options for different users, I realise that the Mark-T will be a considered purchase, and that will put some people off. They aren't going to be made in huge quantities anyway.
Those that do try it out first, will be able to tell everyone else about their experiences with it, and then those that waited for the reviews to start coming in, can get in on one of the subsequent batches.

I'm still waiting patiently.
Listening to another person review a product, often tells me little about if I'll like it. Especially when it comes to the subjective nature of things. IMO, the draw is similar to taste in juice...a lot of variety, & I don't limit my vaping experience to just one draw or flavor.
Keep us updated!

For me it's all about durability first. If a product looks and sounds like it can take what I will inevitably be dishing out it deserves a closer look. If a few of the people here on the ECF that I have grown to like and trust have used what I'm interested in I'll look even closer and if a trusted seller believes in a new product enough I'll look closer still. But ultimately Lisa and AG are right, I've gotta get my needy little hands on one and use it the way I use it to be absolutely sure that it's right for me.
One thing I can say is that if someone has taken the time to put in the effort to create a new solution to a problem many of us have had and keep us abreast of the progress of its creation then we can be sure that person cares as much as we do about finding the best solution possible. Most of the mods, attys, tanks, cartos that these inventive tweakers have come up with are good solutions to the problems they set out to solve. Some of their solutions may not be right for all of us but they are right most of those people who had the same problems with the gear they were using before the new solution was found. We're still at the beginning stages of vaping so we're all still trying to figure out the problems and solutions to them that work for us. The MarkT is a solution to many of the problems we've had with the gear we're using right now so of course I'm interested in trying one and I have a strong feeling that because of the other people here on this thread it's got the potential to be one of the keepers and daily users in my now ever growing plethora of vapoligical contraptions.
