The TPD also requires stuff like leak resistance and glass protection, which is why a bunch of those tanks are coming out with external metal sleeves. There will probably be more top air tanks coming out as it's a lot easier to present those as "leak resistant". I believe the same "save the children" standard came up with a 2 ml tank/10 ml bottle restriction along with the 20 mg max concentration to try and assure should any actually be ingested, it would be below the severe poisoning risk if a 3 year old chugged it.

All this regs are part of the TPD2, a piece of fairly mishappen EU-legislation that has been worked into national laws according to time frame. Britain made it clear from the outset that they'd be giving vaping as much leeway as they legally could without having the EU climbing all over them. Some other EU member are headed that other way, planning to go way beyond what the EU allows.

Although Brexit is a done deal - unravelling all that legal entanglement is gonna take a LOT of work. And TPD2 is way way down on the to-do-list.

But just being too busy to enforce it might be one option...

Europe as a whole - EU and non-EU alike - certainly got tons of more pressing issues. Last thing that's needed is some pencilpushers running around with calipers and measuring the filling capacity of attys...

I think coils and RDA's are unaffected same with replacement glass and other parts
Excellent - I've just about cornered the market with drippers - not for everyone, but I love 'em. No hassle, low maintenance, and they look........nice. Converted a Stumpy for my CopperVape and did the same with an Atomic for the wife's Pico Squeeze. Perhaps, given the current legislation, RDA's will become even more popular.

Interesting read for me. I travel to the UK from the US quite often. I find I get hassled less in the UK for vaping than any other country I travel to. Seems to be accepted more by the masses there than elsewhere. I was curious as well though, if my tanks would be considered legal to bring across the border anymore. Seems like they will be ok at this point.

As someone who has a three-year-old in the house AND hates getting liquid all over me, I can't say I have any issue with either of these things!

Wow.

So if that is what you think you need to do to keep your child safe then that is what you should buy and have around your house. But, why should others who have no such concerns be decreed by law to the same standers? And to be perfectly honest, you should keep your E-stuff well out of reach of your child just like you do alcohol, cleaning supplies etc.
