Premixed nicotine & tpd

[domesticextremist]

OMG!
I've been disconnected from the web and just found out about this.
When exactly will the supply of DIY nic cease?
I've got to be away from home for a while so I hope I haven't left it too late.

(At least now I know what Brexit means, I suppose )

Yep domesticextremist the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) has already been made into UK law, and is being phased in:

From 20th November 2016, you will only be able to buy existing stock of non-TPD compliant products in the supply chain. i.e. larger than 10ml and stronger than 20mg/ml nicotine strength. When stock runs out, or the 20th May 2017 is reached, only TPD compliant (and registered) products can be sold (maximum bottle size 10ml, maximum strength 20mg/ml).

- see allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/threads/recent/65702 if you want to stock up on nicotine base.

You need to act now. November is the next deadline, so expect stocks to quickly dry up of the higher nic mix before 20 November.

[Richard46]

You can still buy large quantities of 72mg nic from the likes of Darkstar and EverythingLiquid (other retailers are available) but for how long who knows. At some point it is likely that only 10ml bottles will be avaliable in the UK and at only 18-20mg.

Damn these people, damn them!

I guess I need to find out more about what else is being restricted.

Presumably the nanny super-staters are still allowing us to make our own coils and rewick?

Things that spring immediately to mind: Tank atomisers limited to 2ml (and require registration by the importer). Mods not affected. Severe advertising restrictions. E-liquid max. 10ml bottle size and max. 20mg/ml strength (again requiring expensive testing, toxicology and registration). EU cross border sales will also be affected in many EU states.


[ETA] - So expect many suppliers going out of business as well as reduced choice.

        - rebuilding should not be affected.

200 feet of kenthal, just in case they decide to do more silly crap

And 10 rebuildable tanks

Some people have had notification stickers on parcels from China recently

Panic in the right places i.e. nic base and decent sized tanks perhaps, wire and cotton will not be affected.

But yes damn the bastards.

There are a lot of people going to be caught out when the deadline occurs. Time to remove the frozen chips, veg and other unimportant goods from the freezer and replace with the apocalypse stash.

[Postmodern Smoking]

In summary domesticextremist :



Mods not affected.

[Perpetua]

I think we're likely to see more in the way of TPD compliant tanks that have an optional extension kit, or are supplied with a larger ' spare ' tank . . . . as per this new Aspire set up.

I am still amazed at the amount of vapers who think this is all Bullshit and won't happen. I work with a good number of vapers and a few of then still have their head in the sand. Two in particular who vape 24mg.

It's not that I thought it was BS, just I got to a happy vaping place and was away from the forums for a couple of years.
A lot of folks are going to get caught out, methinks.
It's almost as if the Eurocrats want to make vaping as expensive as smoking...

[striker42]

No problem domesticextremist. The statement was not aimed at you. More at the people who have been tuned in to what is happening/going to happen and still think there is nothing to worry about. That supplies will still be plentiful and everything in the world will be rosie. Sadly I think the lights may go out in the world they are in come May next year.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the TPD. Please stop spreading this rubbish, it does nobody any good.
