New people looking into Vaping are going to have choice. You can buy bang up-to-date 'kits'... look on TECC (not that I like them) - there's loads. You can buy TPD liquid for £2, £3.50, £4.99.... whichever if you can be arsed to look. You can refill! It was closed system refills that went back to the early days of "40 cigarettes for only £3.99 per cartomizer" that worried me. You can even buy a 4ml tank that pretends to be a 2ml tank. Innovation at our end of the spectrum might suffer, especially RTAs RDAs. Other than that.... If you want to vape there's a surprising lack of zombie apocalypse i.m.o. I don't think even that's the case, innovation will just be a bit physically smaller for starters with work arounds as you suggest becoming available. Plenty of TPD compliant innovation choice for the connoisseur Here |

I felt a touch of regret yesterday . . . . . who wouldn't when you consider why our habit came about in the very first instance - which was to provide smokers with a healthier, more socially acceptable means of obtaining a nicotine fix, that actually works. To an extent subohming has made vaping less socially acceptable, which is a shame when users feel they have a god given right to waft great clouds of vapour over the public at large - making them no better than an inconsiderate smoker in my humble opinion and as much as I enjoy that style of vaping myself. However, I do believe that some form of legislation was always going to happen if not EU driven then from elsewhere, to think that it wouldn't at some stage was never a realistic aspiration. Because ecigs/vaping are so successful, a truly viable alternative . . . . . they are a threat. Although cigarette smokers haven't fared so well under the TPD either let's not forget. All that said, I'm very much a glass half full rather than empty type of person as much as I don't care for the legislation, we could have had far more punitive measures imposed on us as has happen in other major countries around the world. And they manage. What's done is done and we have to make the best of the current situation as have many well known Vendors, investing large sums of money to be TPD compliant, Clearly they feel there is a future and so should we. Workarounds will happen . . . . one significant one already has. www.nicotine72mg.co.uk/productsSlightly more in price than previously, but by no means overly expensive compared to the prices many of us paid when Nicotine Base first became available. Happy Vaping to all of us . . . . . and to those who have yet to discover our wonderful habit.  That's the spirit Madge |

Without being political (ha ha ha ha!!!), the only good thing that might come out of a Tory landslide at the election is a huge shot in the arm to the value of the Pound, so FT prices might actually become more attractive? And Brexit  |

I think that's unlikely. If you have a look at the lines of crime de vape site all the main atty manufacturers and some of the smaller high ends have just made scaled down versions of their atties to become TPD compliant. The rose, the Squape the Kabuki to name few all now in 2ml varieties. I also say an RTA earlier on another site that was 2ml But also came with an extension kitin the form of a longer glass tank and an extension. I'm not sure how this complies as you buy everything together but maybe if you bought a 2ml compliant tank the manufacturer could also sell standalone kits to make it bigger. Therefore the original purchase is compliant but the accessories to make it bigger don't need to be compliant as it not at RTA in itself. I've also seen kits that allowan atty to be a dripper, an RTA or a bottom feed atty spending on how you configure. I'm sure manufacturers will explore all options to maximise profit. The other options of course are just to fill up more or turn the watts dial down |

Well I have to say it's nowhere near what some suggested it would be.
So you can't buy great big tanks or big bottles of juice. How will that prevent current smokers quitting should they decide to try through vaping. I quit primarily with evods and had it not been for this forum encouraging me, not that I wasn't a willing participant, to buy bigger and better stuff I'd likely have stock with those old evods. They worked a treat and I'm sure I'd never have smoked again from that point onwards.
Some scaremongers insisted all the forums would be closed and vape meets banned, how wrong were they ! I'm sure they made plenty of money along the way despite their protestations to the contrary.
Of course no one likes change and to have things they could have yesterday taken away today but really, although stupid and financially driven how restrictive is it really for existing and future vapers.

My thanks bioxx for your input. By the time I was a week in hospital and beginning to come round a bit, I had already sussed that there was people around me that were far worse off than I was. Even my fellow ward patients who appeared to be far in advanced speech wise, than me, were clearly suffering from other forms of strokes that did not effect me. Despite being put through all sorts of tests, they tell you very little in the hospital about what is actually going on. Indeed I am of the opinion that perhaps they actually do not know. I stroke can be so complicated and affect so many people in so many different ways, that it way be quite some time before they can pin point just what ways an individual may react. I reckon I have been lucky, so far, and I am hoping that Speech Therapy will sort me out, or at least help me to recover some of my normal speech. But I am very aware that there were fellow patients who were there in the ward when I went in and are still there now. There but for fortune, go you or aye. Well I have to say your written words have improved significantly in such a short space of time Mike |

I'm a pupil escort for my local authority, this means I go in a taxi/hackney/minibus with special needs pupils to and from school and collecting from home. I'm NOT an 'escort' as my son informed his new teacher, aged seven, when he was asked to stand up and introduce himself to everyone in his class.....  It also didnt help that it was an independant convent school and I still worry about what the nuns thought I did to pay the school fees!! Good effort on his part though, I bet he's got loads of new mates I bet they're all asking for pictures, remember the railings shot Pepperty  |

Are you sure nicotine is addictive, I'm not convinced it is ! Hello I live in France and the specialists I've seen here or read about claim nicotine is: - toxic (there even are death skull pictograms on the French flasks of e-luids with nicotine); - an addicitive substance in humans. I've progressively discovered in this forum that those claims vary according to the country one considers... I don't think there's much doubt it's toxic, that doesn't mean it's necessarily addictive though |
