We are now in UK TPD times.

[djs]

New people looking into Vaping are going to have choice.

You can buy bang up-to-date 'kits'... look on TECC (not that I like them) - there's loads.
You can buy TPD liquid for £2, £3.50, £4.99.... whichever if you can be arsed to look.
You can refill! It was closed system refills that went back to the early days of "40 cigarettes for only £3.99 per cartomizer" that worried me.
You can even buy a 4ml tank that pretends to be a 2ml tank.

Innovation at our end of the spectrum might suffer, especially RTAs RDAs.

Other than that.... If you want to vape there's a surprising lack of zombie apocalypse i.m.o.

Yes well I know a few people who run their own business although it ain't vaping related. If all we need is a business registration number then happy days and all is well

Hate to rain on your parade jtc, but I think you'll find that there's a little more to it . . . . to the best of my knowledge you have to be a registered eliquid Manufacturer, which means that one of your liquids will have to have been tested and licenced - in order to prove the purposes for which the nicotine is being purchased.

Otherwise any supplier could potentially risk incurring substantial fines if they don't demonstrate due diligence in substantiating a buyer's credentials.

Exactly what I was told Mandy " at least one liquid registered "

I don't think even that's the case, innovation will just be a bit physically smaller for starters with work arounds as you suggest becoming available.

Plenty of TPD compliant innovation choice for the connoisseur Here

Tbh...i think Greg is right. It could have been ALOT worse.

Just a idea what if we all threw a couple of pound into a pot held by a trustworthy person and got a recipe tested and certified.

Just thinking out aloud.

Oh and how does this get around the rules then - when is a 2ml tank not a 2ml tank, when it's a 4ml tank

vapegeek.co.uk/collections/sub-ohm-tanks/products/aspire-atlantis-evo-extended-kit

Yes that is definitely TRPR/TPD compliant, the tank is set up as 2ml, it is up to you if you want to extend it to 4ml, I have heard that SMOK are considering doing something very similar

[Bobsbeer]

All very well having tank extending kits, but that is costing us the vaper more money. I'm sure vendors love them. They stand to make more money from the extra sale.

This is true, but I can't help thinking the price of the products will determine how many will sell.

Clearly, most vendors would approve of everyone replacing their old Subohm tanks.

That was my thought about getting rid (sale prices) of coils for the old tanks as well - kind of scare folk into thinking coils were TPD items.

Coils are covered by the TPD, e.g.:

So my coils from FT are now effectively illegal if they aren't TPD'd.

Lucky I didn't order them then. Not.

[Bobsbeer]

Oppps. I just got a packet of those delivered from FT today. Bummer they didn't have any nicotine in them.

Nothing to with the coils being TPD its to do with the packaging having the correct warning that this product contains Nicotine, the coils sold off were the old style packaging with out the warning.
