Nor mine, not going to link to the vype site but here's a bit from it.

The length of time you can enjoy the satisfying Vype taste will depend on your personal vyping behaviour. However as an indication a Vype disposable electronic cigarette delivers approximately 130 puffs in laboratory testing.

Vype Red contains 18.6mg (4.5% v/v) nicotine
£6.99 

So it's the usual cigalike crap that will cost more than stinkies.

(and it looks like they're trying to introduce a new word into the English language - vyping?)

Or are they just trying to write with an accent - did they send in the copy by phone?

Vy vould they vant to do that? Perhaps they are based in Transylvania?

OMG check this battery !

On a more serious note this is the product that BAT are going to get MHRA approval for,
so a crappy 99p cigalike is going to be sold for £6.99 and also be prescribed on the NHS so costing the tax payer more.
And why are they only selling disposables? To keep the price up or to keep in line with the MHRA's made up regulations that talk about regulated dose/use which to me means a product that supplies a fixed dose for a fixed time and doesn't allow you to overdose?
So a disposable that won't last you more than a few hours stops you from overdosing?
Then the price stops you from buying more?
So you go back to the stinkies.
Success!!! Big Cig make money, Big Pharma make money, poor smoker dies....who cares???

Well you hit the nail on the head there..................

I started off with disposable "10Motives" - I bought 2.

they lasted me 2 days and 1.5days respectively costing (at the time 5.99 each)

I used to smoke approx. 10 a day so was happy with above

I then switched to 10Motives rechargeable and used 15 refills a fortnight. ,I gave up real ciggies quite happily

I went off 10Motives due to "appalling" battery life

This site "revealed" the impressive mysteries of RIVA1100

I am NEVER going back to crap products like this

BUT...............

I fear you are correct ................

.............we may have no choice

(the power of "lobbying" hey!!!  )

Nice to see you back but if you want that little white bast**d your welcome. And you can have the fleas as well. Costs me £15 a month to get rid so do you want to set up a standing order??
