If colour is not an issue, Choppavapes have the V1 in gold or blue for £5:99 Perfect Striker. 👍 They also had a discontinued Mod I was after too. Brilliant. Thank you. |

Hi all
Does anyone have an original (v1) Vandy Vape Mesh RDA they would like to sell please?
It's a discontinued product. At a push I'd be interested in a V2 which I believe is called the Mesh Pro, but V1 is what I am really after.
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Only had 3 or 4 pints of Thatcher's last night but had a hangover from hell today. I need to get out more. I'm becoming a lightweight.

Yes I am home safely, thanks very much Mark. 
My journey was uneventful although I did see on Tfl's website that there were severe delays and that it was suspended from Liverpool Street to White City but fortunately I was already on a train.
Good  Glad you're home safely. We both made what was the last train home it seems. |

Absolute chaos getting home.
Had armed police on the platform at Bank station with automatic weapons and blast shields, due to a security alert. They were screaming at people to get on to the train I was on. We were held there for about 15 minutes whilst the police checked the train. they were looking for someone on the train. eventually they let the train move on. I'm lucky as that was the last train. They closed the central line after that.
When I got out at Mile end it was chaos, some knob head jumped through an open police van window and was piled on by police. Didn't hang about to see what happened.
Just glad to be home safely. thoughts go out to those who are not so fortunate tonight.
Sad and nervous end to what was a really pleasant evening

One point that should also be considered is that those who are ignoring the TPD mustn't carry products liability insurance. Because, if they did, their insurers would have a ready made reason to deny the claims. I used to bear a grudge against those that didn't carry the correct insurance (when it was costing us £50K per year) and I'm pretty sure that if you added the cost of us becoming TPD compliant (approx £500K) - the grudge would be a lot bigger Whether I'd report others or not - I'm not sure (goes against my grain really) but I can certainly sympathise with those that do. That comment regarding the liability insurance puts things into a completely different perspective. My view on this was based exactly on going against my grain too. It's just not in my nature to tell tales on others. But yes I genuinely do sympathise with those who have literally broken the bank to become compliant. |

MarkS I'm still waiting on a Nautilus shipped on the 19th, I will give it until Saturday then start contacting them again. After seeing some members pictures on here of their ifancyone orders arriving in Royal Mail plastic bags due to the original packaging being damaged. I'm wondering if some have been damaged so badly that the addresses are no longer visable or the original packaging with the address has been lost altogether? |

I believe that retailers wishing to sell direct to consumers in other EU states (where permitted) need to have been accepted onto each country's cross-border sales registers but that products themselves don't need to be re-notified in each and every country. So theoretically it would currently be legal for UK consumers to buy >2ml tanks from French or German retailers even though it would be an offence for a UK retailer to sell the same item. I've also heard (though I'm waiting for confirmation) that under the German implementation of the TPD, mods without atomisers / tanks also require their own EU-CIG notification which makes absolutely no sense to me...  That makes sense...the part about retailers registering but not needing to re notify products already notified in their member states. The part about mods without atomisers makes no sense at all. Why does all of this remind me of the opening credits of Soap? "Confused?....you will be after this weeks episode of Soap" |

t.b.h. I don't see it as vendors turning against each other in a sort of 'turning in on itself'.... It's a small hump in the road, and now were are in TPD-land, I think it's fair enough for compliant vendors to put some spokes in the wheels of those flouting the rules. So I agree with snow on this. I would (of course) have no qualms with buying some under-the-counter 30ml or large tanks from a respectable vaping store. It's not gonna happen though as I'm done with shopping for a very long time. But if you want a tank that's larger than 2ml and lets be fair we're mostly talking about vapers who know the ropes. Then consumers will just take their business to China. Vapers new to vaping will buy the 2ml tanks and TPD compliant products as they will know no better. I for example won't be buying any more 2ml tanks as I already own 3 (one an in built device) and they're just not practical for how I vape. |

... Another interesting point is that France & Germany haven't banned tanks over 2ml and we're still able to buy them from both of those countries here in the UK.
As was said all along. The TPD really is a dogs breakfast. I could be wrong, but... I'm not sure whether we/they can (legally), unless they've registered the products with the UK's MHRA under the cross-border selling clauses of the TPD. It's apparently the MHRA and DOH who have clarified cross-border sales with France & Germany are not an issue. E2A: Just trying to get some clarification on this. I think the registration may only apply to Manufacturers as the vendors will already be registered in their relevant member states. Could be wrong, but I'm waiting on an answer. |
