I just put a Nautilus on my Smax, and if the juice control is opened up enough I get a slight zap.

On my hand and on my lip...

It's pretty weird.

Just got a bit in, and I have to say that it is amazing.
I haven't even steeped it yet. Not even an hour.

Indeed
3.5% Capella Vanilla Custard
3.5% Capella Graham Cracker
3.5% Seedman Captain Black
1.25% Ethyl Maltol.

In case my percentage are off:

10ml Total
10drops of each flavour
5 drops EM.

I can only imagine how deep and lush these flavours are going to grow.
I'll update in a week.

I had no idea there was a difference. Mind: Blown.

I posted this over on UKV, so I figured I should post it here too:

Hey Guys,

Let me introduce myself as a manager at Royal Mail. I am willing to answer any of your questions or concerns.
I can provide you with advice, and if necessary; swing my big stick around the organization for you.

Here is what I can answer about the video with certainty:

1- the employees at the Mail Centre(sorting office) are not targeting your mail. The time frame for sorting does not really allow for this. Also, we are not interested in anything e-liquid related yet(I'll let you know if this changes.) We are becoming interested in lithium batteries; unless your package needs to go on an airplane, there is no way of us knowing that it contains a battery. The only scanners we have are at airport distribution centres.

2- Your local delivery office may be a problem. They have more time with your package, and may be interested in what you have. Do contact your local DO, and do ask to speak to the Delivery Office Manager.
They will follow up, and the IB(investigative bureau) may become involved. The IB take things very seriously, and finding a reason to dismiss and charge a postie is on the rise.

If you do not have any joy with the delivery office manager, contact customer service and ask for the contact info for the delivery sector manager(they are responsible for many delivery offices, and take issues much more seriously.) If you do not have any luck there, send me a PM with your post code and I will escalate the matter for you.

3- Our employees are not trying to steal your e-juice. I am the only member of my staff that vapes, in an office of 350. The probability of someone who vapes getting their hands on your package, realizing what it is, and jeopardizing their cushy job for £10 worth of e-liquid is unlikely.

4- I am not a customer service agent, but I am willing to help. I realize that our organization has built walls around itself, and I am working hard to address this community's concerns.

5- Maximum claim on a 1st class signed for is £42. If your package is worth more than that, send it tracked.
We take tracked mail surprisingly seriously.

6- I have had several juice shipments go missing as well. I don't know why, but I sympathize with everyone affected.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Don't think it would take a killer either.

I don't get the 'normalizes smoking' debate. It does bear resemblance to smoking, sure. But so does breathing on a cold day. So does car exahuast.

If anything, vaping denormalizes smoking. By drawing attention to an act that looks the same, and feels the same, without the detrimental side-effects, it calls into question a smokers justification for continuing to smoke.

It would be inconceivable for someone to mistakenly light up in a pub because someone else was vaping. In fact, the act of smoking becomes further ostracized by comparison. They are forced outside, while vapers are allowed to remain indoors.

Further to this argument, as vaping becomes more normalized in the smoking community and more people switch, there will be greater pressure on the remaining members to consider the switch as well.

And lets be clear on this matter, we are not talking about the smoker/non-smoker guilt divide, where all the non-smokers make the smoker feel guilty for not quitting. That methodology does not work, and likely serves to further entrench the mentality of the smoker.

Instead, we must focus on the smoker/ex-smoker(vaper) divide. It is a strange phenomenon, but I have never encountered one member of this community to make an vaper feel guilty about having a cigarette, or even making a smoker feel guilty for that matter. Correct me if I am wrong, but the militarism that is present in non-smoking community is non-existent in the vaping community. As such, we are the vanguard for converting the smokers. The greater in numbers we grow, and the more normal it becomes to vape, the die-hard smoking community will turn to this alternative as a viable option because the guilt of smoking will grow to large. It will take a peer group to demonstrate the way forward, and make the smoker feel odd for continuing the habit.

Vaping will de-normalize smoking.
