Where should I start?

[Merlin7]

It seems governments are more concerned about taxing tobacco and the tobacco companies more concerned about profits, than the health of the vast majority of unwilling smokers.
The more I hear, the more I get antsy and the more I want to smoke.
It's a bloody conspiracy, the tobacco lobby must be working overtime to get vaping banned or restricted, so they can keep their addicts/ smokers hooked and the dollars rolling in!

More so the government & pharmeceutical industries.

@djsvapour any word on ordering products from overseas and them being able to clear UK customs (i.e. Fasttech)?

Fingers crossed. If you get a letter just ignore it. You won't get your product but you won't be fined for a 1st time offense. At least that is what I have read.

Discussing the issue at hand, I take it you have made an order @Merlin7 ? in which case, I am sorry to hear of this. Was it made recently? (too late to cancel, I guess)

Customs in the UK tend not to look too hard at packages from China. They have a nasty habit of helping themselves to (opening, even) packages from the US, as they then whack on import duty and additional delivery costs.

Next year (or whenever it arrives) we will find out what they might do with e-Liquids.

Yup it's to late to cancel and I'm hoping that as the juice is 0 Nic they will let it through without extra duty etc.

Sorry to hear that you:

1. Got suckered by the paid reviews for VaporFi. Don't feel bad! I did too!

2. Lost your money due to a government that won't allow freedom. I've been to Singapore several times and NEVER really enjoyed being there...

The e cig market is facing the wrath of two major industries... big tobacco (cigarette makers) and big pharma (nicotine delivery patches and gums that do not work reliably). Both have massive financial resources and are able to influence just about everyone who the e cig market needs.

Not only have several governments been adversely influenced, so have major advertising venues such as google, Facebook, Bing, etc...

The e cig market WILL survive but there is going to be a big fight over it!

That's a shame.

When you reach these shores even if things are going downhill, I expect the 'crew' of vapers (AAEC UK, UK Vapers, Vapefest) will have lots of spare everything.

There is a big Scottish contingent on AAEC UK.

My rush is on atomizers more than anything else. (Mostly rebuildable)
Rumour has it that the May 2016 deadline has been extended (but we don't know and it could be bull), so perhaps the bigger (and better) tanks will still be on sale until 2017.

Where my health is concerned I'd take early retirement..

 

[suprtrkr]

I better not say what my thoughts and feelings are with regard to intransigent government officials and outmoded lawmaking! If you can read my mind you'll know what I mean!

I can read your mind. You sure you're not a Texan?

 

[Merlin7]

No just a nomadic Scotsman

Hi mate,
NO VAPORFI. please.

Consider the Endura T18. It is HALF the cost of the V-fi "clobber".

Cheers

I just won one of these in a contest and checked it out before giving it to a smoker so she can stop , what an outstanding device , very very impressed.
