Yes, it is the same, that post came just after mine.

Initially looks like a wickless CE4 ( enclosed wick CE4 )

But the extra knurled section at the base implies that it is a changeable coil version - usually known as a CE8 mesh clearo ( a Bauway CE8 )
The difference (apart from being able to change the coil) is that the CE4 type will be using silica, but the CE8 will have a mesh wick.

I recently wrote a blog post on this subject - which might be useful to explain some of the issues involved

"Nicotine equivalence - why 20mg in ecigs are NOT the same as 20 cigarettes "

Following previous successful complaints to the PCC about the Mail publishing false info about e-cigs, now is the time for another round of mass complaints about this article :

www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2523175/E-cigarette-smokers-inhale-MORE-nicotine-toxins-regular-smokers-Study-finds-users-unknowingly-inhaling-host-dangerous-chemicals.html

Entitled 'E-cigarette smokers inhale MORE nicotine and toxins than regular smokers'

The article is based on this research here:
medicalxpress.com/news/2013-12-dental-hidden-health-impact-electronic.html#inlRlv

As oldjools pointed out here ( ukvapers.org/Thread-Daily-Mail-s-poor-research ) it is worth including in the complaint that this research HAS NOT EVEN STARTED YET.


It is very easy to do.

First go to this page here :
www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/form.html

Enter your Name, Address and email into the form.


Then fill in the following:


Newspaper/magazine - Daily Mail

Publication Date (DD/MM/YYYY) - 13/12/2013

Headline - 'E-cigarette smokers inhale MORE nicotine and toxins than regular smokers'


NEXT - tick the box to say where you saw the article.

IMPORTANT - you MUST include a link to the article, or the complaint will not be followed up

The link to the article is here - www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2523175/E-cigarette-smokers-inhale-MORE-nicotine-toxins-regular-smokers-Study-finds-users-unknowingly-inhaling-host-dangerous-chemicals.html
(open this link in your browser and copy/paste from there to get the full link)

The next box is where you explain why you think the code of practice has been breached.

The final box asks - Please add the clause(s) you believe to have been breached

Answer :
1.Accuracy: i) The Press must take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted information, including pictures.



IF YOU THINK THAT THE ARTICLE WAS INACCURATE OR MISLEADING, THEN YOU CAN MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE PCC.

Do it. Takes 5 mins. The more the better, and ask that the Mail publish a full retraction of this article.

This dangerous, innacurate and misleading article could be quoted for years to come, if a retraction is not published.

There is no evidence that he has been selling "fakes", merely that someone, somewhere, believes that they have a patent for a diamond plastic tip that goes on the end of a £5.00 disposable e-shisha.

The chances of that patent claim holding up is next to zero.

- A "try it on" letter from a company is not a legal summons.
- a copyright issue is a civil matter, nothing to stop him trading as normal.
- a false allegation that a wholesaler is selling "fakes" or is "not legit" could be libelous, so it might not be him that is getting the summons after all.

Fake: a product produced or labelled with the intention of misleading the purchaser as to the brand or manufacturer.

No evidence that the product that the OP has was falsely labeled, or aimed to mislead as to the brand or manufacturer - merely that it had a clear plastic tip that someone else thought was their copyright (!)

My advice :

email Vapelux ( vapelux.com/home.html )

They will be able to supply you with a wholesale deal for their e-shisha products from UK stock, so you won't need to mess about with Customs or worry about product safety etc. They are ECITA members so you know that the company complies with all the relevant regulations. They are generally considered to be the market leader, in terms of quality, for the e-shisha product.

Then you can put the letters you have received in the bin and forget about it.
