Yeah, sadly with the onslaught of the TPD many manufacturers are getting harder to get hold of.

You would be made most welcome to the Edinburgh meet lesley1 ...tagging@vereybowring...he comes from the Stirling area vereybowring Wasn't me, I dun nuffin. . . oh I'm not in trouble. Carry on, don't mind me. . . Mixing is as complicated as you make it. As well as on here where you can get excellent help and ideas there are many facebook groups. One of the newer ones is Vaping Home Mixers which has a nice cross pollination between USA and UK DIYers. If you are in/near Stirling the best shop is Vapour Monster on Friars St which has a good selection of pre-made liquids and knowledgeable staff they have a shop in Falkirk as well.

Ah well then, lets just not do anything and hope any positive promotion gets handed to us on a plate so we don't have to anything at all. So far the mass media outlets have shown massive support for us - oh wait no that didn't happen they just do scare stories because that's what makes them money.
Yup in an ideal world it would be shown on TV and be spread around freely. Oh dear we aren't in an ideal world, companies are driven by money and it would take large amounts of money to have it freely available everywhere. It was made by a small independent film maker who can't splash money around to promote it and doesn't have the pull to just get it on TV, oh and of course they aren't smokers/vapers. Yup they should have just plonked it on youtube, lost money and made sure they gets fewer investors for future projects since they would be a proven loss maker. They should have done this so vapers can get on with discussing flavours, gear and watching reviews while the ANTZ slowly work to destroy vaping.

Well it comes down to how much interest was shown on demand film. The areas that got the most interest and have cinemas with a suitable slot get a showing.
For instance last time I checked Scotland was down to three possible locations (all around Glasgow) but it has come down to the one venue.
Its the old supply and demand thing. They weren't gonna try and get a location that didn't have enough interest. Although we are also at the mercy of the cinema chains, unless they got a flood in one location it was never gonna get into a larger venue and they will have lumped things together somewhat to get down to these few.

A Billion Lives Scottish premiere has now been announced. tickets.demand.film/event/1107#It will get shown as long as enough of us buy tickets. Cinema in question aint the easiest to get to unless you have a car but to keep the momentum going for the film we need this to go ahead. If you're in Scotland, and especially if you're in the Glasgow area, this is the chance to see A Billion Lives. And spread this about the place too.

Hmm, yeah Darkstar are cheaper and ship in glass bottles not horrid plastic. . . EDIT: Also all these companies are the best and cleanest nicbase. . . oh and as far as I am aware there are only two licensed labs in the UK making USP nicotine so chances are everybody is basically selling the same stuff anyway.Many companies in the UK use a cheaper Swiss manufacturer ( Alchem), rather than the more expensive UK manufacturers ( Nicobrand & the newer Nerudia). Darkstar buy theirs via an undisclosed source in the USA. Yes I was aware of this. I've had nic from both UK sources and it is pretty similar and very good. The stuff from alchem is not quite as good but I've found the Darkstar stuff quite decent, although knowing precise source would be a very good thing. When I say everybody is basically selling the same stuff it was in reference to the ones claiming UK source (should have been more clear), and the bad joke they all claim to have the best(sorry). I have also noticed friends in the USA are getting polish made nicbase now cheaper than we get euro made stuff which is interesting and they say it is also good. The next biggest differences for me come down to how old the nic is (if it's darker than pale pink I aint interested) and what the quality of the carrier used is (although this is less of a concern than age).

I only buy from Torchy or if he has run out of what I want/on holiday I use Ecolux. After all I seem to see that bloke quite frequently what with him being from around these parts. . .
Also both of them batch test their stuff rather than blindly trusting whatever gets delivered to them and just selling through.
Oh and in a nice touch if I'm in a hurry my local decent vape retailing shop thingy sells torchy batteries too.
