Just been reading about this. At first i thought ohh s#@t here we go, end of vaping as we know it ! But looking at it in more detail, it seems to be tightening up their domestic standards, clamping down on cheap internal sales ( china does not want vaping to become main stream, to much money in cigarettes ).

Re export - manufacturers / distributors have to meet the importing countries standards / regulations. So the main stream names we are used to buying, already do this, so i think we should be ok. Of course i could be completely wrong ! Time and more information will give more clarity no doubt.

Reading between the lines, think it's just an excuse to up charge prices.

At first i thought it would be a blessing and get rid of all the bloody disposables flooding the uk but nope, sounds like exports not affected.
So China cleaning up its act on all the shite being sold in their country but dont give a toss about exporting it and flooding our country with shite.

Yep. Business as usual   
More n More pods / disposables.  
Be glad when this phase passes and china start focusing on rda, rta, mods. particularly squonk again.
Think i've got a long wait tho !

Making and selling reusable/rebuildable kit like what we use is never going to provide the massive income stream that disposables offer. Plus most consumers are never going to come to terms with the degree of faffing involved. If anything I am surprised there is still so much reusable kit made.

Totally agree Richard . . . nothing stays the same forever whether it we like it or not.

So many people now are what I call ' time poor ' so if there's fewer demands on their time they will take shortcuts if possible. I've artificial grass and have just had some composite fencing put up - just a couple of examples which for me save my time and gives me the freedom to do things I get more satisfaction from - this extends right across the spectrum, whether it ready meals etc etc.

If you enjoy and have the time to tinker, fair enough, each to their own.

Annnnd, in spite of the vast array of kit I've stashed away - I do use these disposable tanks, they're rather good actually. Faff free and I can put around 200ml of eliquid through them before they peak off.

If disposables stop people from smoking then I'm honestly all in favour.
