I honestly can see both sides of the argument snow & ghostrider1971 . although would I buy a non-compliant under the counter tank from a UK vendor? I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't. We're still seeing online vendors selling off non-compliant stock. Only yesterday I bought a non-compliant Isub tank posted on here. I was going to share it on my twitter feed, but relented as I felt it could get the vendor into trouble. I do have some antz spy on my timeline from time to time, but it wasn't them that I was actually worried about. I think it's sad that some feel the need to do Trading Standards jobs for them. 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. |

Just been reading on Facebook that some fully TPD compliant UK vendors are snitching on other UK vendors to Trading Standards who are less TPD compliant.
For example still selling tanks bigger than 2ml and juice in bottles larger than 10ml.
The details of the post I read were hazy, but it's from a reliable source.
If this really is happening what are your thoughts? I understand the lengths and cost that some vendors have gone to becoming TPD compliant and that they feel the need to protect their businesses and employees, but it doesn't sit comfortably with me to know vendors are turning on each other in this way.
Sad and sorry state of affairs. Bet the pencil pushers in Brussels are loving the industry turning on it's self.

The Captains Reserve: Mutiny & Starboard
Nothing to carp about here! Just lovely vapes the both . . . . I bought their Max VG selection box on an earlier discount, the plan being ( which didn't happen! ) to sample all the flavours before dipping into the 40ml skull bottles. As it was I just nabbed the flavours that appealed to me anyway!  Very glad that I did if these two are anything to go by . . . . . .
I still can't bring myself to open any of the Skull bottles. They're just too awesome as they are. |

Well I have emailed ifancyone several times. called and left telephone messages (no one ever answers) several times, sent them a message via facebook and I still have not had any acknowledgement nor reply. As a last resort I have posted my grievance publicly on their Facebook page and have stated that they have 24hrs to contact me before I open a Paypal dispute. Cannot help but feel I am being ignored now. Shame because I had a good impression of ifancyone, but it would be hard to recommend them to anyone now. What a pity Mark for your buying experience to have to end in this way, after the excitement and ' highs ' we've had the pleasure of using this company.  It worked  Received a reply to the Facebook post. After a few messages back and forth I have a tracking number. It seems my parcel is just sat somewhere within the royal mail system and hasn't moved since it was collected. I've agreed to give it until Monday and then take it from there. |

WFFL Lemon Curd: Lemon Pie
Tastes very similar to the Dinner Lady lemon tart. It's a good juice, but I bought this one in 6mg nic and I can taste the nic in it which I couldn't in the Dinner Lady that Perpetua sent me, although i believe that was 3mg. A decent buy all the same.
Psycho Juice Apple Smasher: Apple crumble dusted with cinnamon
Another juice that I can vape but is nothing to write home about. The cinnamon is far to overpowering and is the dominate rather than "dusted" flavouring.
The apple I do get from the juice has a bit of a chemical after taste to it. The crumble is non-existent. I'll still vape it, but would never buy it again or try to replicate it.

Well my batteries that were dispatched 5 days after the order that is missing have arrived. So I'm now in no doubt that the other order has gone missing. Still no response at all from www.ifancyone.com, after sending several emails and leaving a telephone message. I've now sent them a private message via Facebook and raised a ticket via their site. Not feeling great about this as it feels like I am being ignored. |

Well MarkS there may be hope for us yet  After sending an email apologising for lost orders and offering a refund, I get home today to find that ifancyone had delivered everything I had left with them. Well done ifancyone   That's good to see. When was that order dispatched? I'm out all day so hopefully mine will be there too when I get home. |

ECO VAPE Strawberry Milkshake: Strawberry Milkshake I bought the entire ECO VAPE milkshake range in the sales and after I did I had a little look around the net at some reviews on their juices. To say they were mixed is an understatement so I thought I may well have done a wrong un buying them. If I'd read the reviews before purchasing, I doubt that I would have bought them. Been vaping on the Strawberry Milkshake all day and I think it's excellent. Tastes exactly as described. Reminds me of a strawberry Yazoo which I tend to drink gallons of. Lovely vape and I'm now looking forward to trying the rest of their range. Be interested to hear your views on the Vanilla Milkshake. Finger hovered over the buy button a few times on that one, but never pulled the trigger. I'll put it next in the queue. |

Has everyone now received their TPD orders from ifancyone? I'm still waiting on one order that I received a dispatch email for, but still nothing has arrived yet. I'm a little concerned after seeing a couple of people received theirs in Royal Mail plastic bags after the original packaging had been damaged. Wondering if this has happened to mine too. I've emailed ifancyone, but never the last time I emailed them, so not going to hold my breath this time. This was the largest order I made from them so it would be just my luck if this is the one that goes missing. I contacted them on their website since I was waiting for 4 x Nautilus tanks I ordered on the 19th May. Got an email 1 hour later. Hello,
Unfortunately one or more of the items you ordered was out of stock. Due to the massive demand throughout the TPD sale, we were overwhelmed with orders and it has taken some time to catch up.
Apologies for the delay in letting you know. Any items that are out of stock will be refunded back to your payment method.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me back directly.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Jordan Peck
Company Web Developer
ifancyone.com
He seems a nice fellow and admits they made a mistake and open to being contacted direct. MarkS his email address is jordan.peck@ifancyone.com if you want to contact him direct. Thank you very much for the email address @tomo I had a dispatched email on the 25th for this order and one on the 26th for another order. The order dispatched on the 26th has already arrived. If the other order has gone missing then I doubt they'll have the stock to replace the items and a refund will be most likely. Which would be a shame as I was looking forward to receiving the tanks I'd ordered from them. |

Thank you sydsut & Perpetua. I forgot I was PP protected. So far ifancyone have been great albeit a tad slow dispatching. So I also doubt it will come to that. Good to know I'm protected though. |

Has everyone now received their TPD orders from ifancyone? I've just the one outstanding for batteries Mark, although the dispatched email came through today. After this time with yours, I'd be inclined to try phoning them or making contact through FB - which is where I got the best response from. ( I think this was the number for their warehouse/online orders: 01827 337011 ) Thank you Perpetua. I'm off tomorrow so going to pop to the sorting office to see if they have it there for me. Sometimes my postie forgets to leave a card. If not I will give them a call. If that fails then I'll message them on Facebook. I think it's gone walkies to be honest. How do we stand with a vendor if we only select basic shipping? Although this order qualified for free shipping which was First Class Royal Mail. Can they say that you should have selected signed for or tracked shipping? |

Never seen this chap before. Absolutely loved this. Is he a comedian or a real reporter?? He was an out of work actor who invented the character Jonathan Pie. A political correspondent who rants to camera & his cameraman between broadcasts. It's satire, but also pretty much on point with how many of us feel regarding the current political climate. This is another excellent piece of his And this is his piece on Trump which pretty brought him into the public eye. It's a masterpiece. It's well worth subscribing to his Youtube channel. |
