It's by no means the best outcome, but it gives us time, which is our ally.

It is the best option.
Get e-cigs out of the TPD then do a proper job, one that uses real science rather than the Daily Mail for it's legislation.

One option for compromise would be to strictly limit the amount of nicotine that the refillable cartridges can contain. But on this issue the two sides are far apart. Under the Parliament position the refillable cartridges could contain 10ml of fluid, which at 20mg/ml would mean roughly 200mg of nicotine. Experts say this is equivalent to 2 packs a day for a week, and could even be lethal if taken all at once.

what utter rubbish!

It would still be 2% by volume no matter how much quantity you have.
If you can manage to vape 10ml in one go within a few seconds 'ave at it!

You might get through it all if you drink it straight from the bottle... but that's not really what it's designed for and tbh if you are drinking E-liquid straight from the bottle you've got bigger issues than the nic content.
