Can someone help - clarify the new RM rules

[OneDay]

I have read a few different posts on the subject of the new guidelines/rules that Royal Mail are introducing. As I understand it they will no longer allow e-liquid which contains nicotine, and they will no longer allow rechargeable batteries. ???

If I've understood it correctly, that's my vaping habit killed right there. No need for an EU ban if I can't buy my nic and I can't buy the batteries to power my mods

Or have I got it totally wrong???

That's what I understand from vapeescape on facebook...

They have said they will look into alternatives so I am trying not to worry but still

I agree it is potentially vaping killed. Didn't see that one coming!!! I am okay for now but still

I've seen Jason's posts, and as always he's on the ball and bending over backwards to help. I'm also thinking about nic base from Nicvape in the USA and batteries from Fasttech, for example

Yup, some solid work there from Jason.

I think it will make no real difference, now I order 1 or 2 bottles of juice in future I will order 6, 8 or 10 at a time to offset the courier cost.

If you pay £3 1st class on 2 bottles that's £1.50 P+P per bottle.

If you pay £6 courier on 6 bottles that's £1 P+P per bottle.

May actually work out better for the consumer?

this is from Todd's FB page ... but read tthe rest of the thread since it is unclear whether nic or zero liquid

Got a bottle of 75mg delivered from Rich at Nicvapes this morning ..... no toxic label on box although it stated in very small writing the contents contained 75mg nicotine.

Nothing to say it wasn't wasn't patches or gum etc

As far as I am aware batteries that are posted must be contained in a device .... surely a sturdy plastic box specifically designed to hold batteries is a device in itself to safely transport them .... thats what most retailers like Torchy use already so TBH I'm not to worried about it yet

I do have to ask why you buy nic base from USA when it's almost the same price and a sight quicker to buy over here?

Have you tried Postmodern

Just wondering?

It's nowhere near the same price. 500ml of 75mg is about £57 delivered from Nicvape

Works out under £60 delivered for 500ml of 75mg strength which is the equivilent to almost 750ml of nornal UK 54 ml

Delivery is normally about 7 days and rich will price it under the vat limit

oneday beat me to it

[raid2506]

Oh ok, I compared 125ml of 50mg with 100ml of 54ml about $16.80 and £16.95 respectively.

That's about 3 months of homebrew for me as I buy juice too.

Didn't know you were hardcore

I only vape @ 18 - 20mg but the use by date is normally about 18 months away so you can easily use it in that time.

If you you fire a bottle in the freezer it will keeps for another couple of years more.
