I use that mix as a stand alone, but also as a base for adding other flavours. TPA Blueberry at 2%, or 3% TPA Banana is lovely. Will try some other "sweet" fruits when I get some, apricot sounds good as would peach I suspect.

I see history repeating itself here. Not that many years ago we had similar posts foretelling doom when the first 20 watt mods appeared. When a 1.1 ohm coil was considered pushing the boundaries & borderline dangerous to life & limb. This was quickly followed by the first 50 watt, then 100 watt mods, each step accompanied by a degree of hysteria & "why would anyone need that power" type comments. Sub ohm was something only done by very knowledgeable geeks on a mech mod, or nutters who were going to blow themselves up & give vaping a bad name.

For the moment, we are still a consumer led activity. That is, the market decides if a product is good or bad. If it's good we buy it & it thrives, if not it dies a quiet death. That's the whole point of innovation in disruptive technologies. I would much rather see the market make decisions, than have them made for us by government or other nannying organizations.

We would not have the fantastic range of devices available now, if we had listened to all the hysteria every time a new boundary was broken. So, provided safety isn't compromised, us consumers will determine if something is good or not & it needs to stay that way.

Always enjoy reading your knowledgeable contributions, thank you

I run a small Facebook group over here on the Algarve. There are very few B&Ms or online stores in Portugal. The TPD is already in law here, although tbh it hasn't made any difference to anything yet. I set the group up to help convert some expat smokers & help them through the vaping journey. It's also a good place to find out about local vaping resources & helps keep people up to date on the latest advocacy news affecting vaping.

We've managed to encourage quite a few people to give vaping a try and have a number of successful quitters. Plus - it's good fun

I tend to buy quite a few things from the UK & get it shipped here to Portugal. We just bought a couple of nice bikes before christmas. Way cheaper to buy in the UK & get them shipped. Much of my mixing concentrates also come from the UK, although they are becoming more common here, albeit very expensive.

I really like my DNA 200s, I've got an Efusion & a VT200. The VT200 developed a fault after a month or two of use, I sent it back & it was replaced, no further problems since & they are both used daily.

Really like them, but also looking forward to getting my RX200 which seems like a huge bargain if it does what everyone says.

Are you managing to do much exercise as well? The FAST diet is great, adding a bit more exercise into the mix gives a great weight loss boost and makes you healthier, win win
