Not sure if many are aware (Probably are!) but soon they are enacting laws in UK to limit ECigs. tank size is my biggest concern as they are limiting it to only 2ml capacity! So I'm going to get a couple of new high capacity tanks. Nice to know this mod will run whatever I go for.

Time for a large-tank shopping spree. I have about a dozen in my basket at Fasttech. As long as there's an RBA option, I'm bagging some!

Certainly is! TFV8 Beast is first on list, easy RBA available for that, then I'm not sure but certainly want another two before ban on selling them comes in.

I'm not sure on the rules with importing them though, if bought in, let's say US, through web, can they still be posted and delivered in the UK... If so less of a concern and can keep up with new designs etc.

They can be imported. You'll get £8 handling + £import duty. They'll also destroy them if they want to look... which they won't.
You're good for e-liquid, yes? Got all that sorted? 8 years of Nic base in my freezer right now.
8 Inaweras this morning from Inawera. TFA/TPA lined up as per usual. Good to go.

TPD can kiss my ar... is that the time? Got to shop....

(no seriously...got to shop)

Now I'm concerned... I knew bottle size is being limited to 10ml but I make my own juice (Have done for over a year) so didnt think they were bothering to touch individual bits, just premade shop sold juice. Are you saying they are restricting nic/PG/VG etc?!?!?! That's seriously irritating if so!

Time to visit Darkstar I think!

Shopping time also...

The Nicotine base is the problem. DIY ers will find that all they can buy will be 10ml of <20mg to use to mix with. It will be very costly to say the least compared to 54mg or 72mg.
No, all the rest will be untouched.

Wow... That's annoying. Hoped DIY juice would be untouched. Thank you for letting me know.

Just now ordered another 1ltr, after Christmas I'll make a big order of freezer nic. Suppose at least flavours, PG and VG will be untouched. Cup half full kind of guy!

Good chap!... as Del Boys says "You know it makes sense"...

Just sit back and watch what happens. I can see 10ml of 20mg 'unflavoured' being £4.99 quite soon.
The tobacco companies are circling, so are Totally Wicked no doubt.

Sadly, you are most likely 100% correct.

No benefit to these crazy rules, just cost us all alot more money, marvellous....

Currently pay £37.99 for 1ltr of 7.2% in VG, imagine price of that in tiny 10ml bottles?! £400+?

Hopefully some clever person will find a loophole (think of a different use/marketing for it etc) and be able to continue decent amount at reasonable price.

Just thought I'd give a quick update in case anyone was interested (Probably not!)

Got a Smok Alien with dual Samsung 30Qs, absolutely love it. Get nearly 3 days from a single charge, it's everything I wanted and more.

With the Innokin TC100, credit card company recouped the money from the store as bank decided since went faulty so soon after purchase, the fault was probably present at point of sale.

Did speak with Innokin who would have been willing to look at it, but needed the original receipt but the store dragged their feet for so long put me outside the manufacturers warranty.

Don't really care anymore, got my money back, got a much better mod and used the money returned to buy a new heated 30min timer ultrasonic cleaner for steeping.

Anyone want an Innokin TC100 paperweight? :)
