smallest 18650 has to be the Eleaf ikonn but its a electro mech. And its got 1 of them shite (IMO) squeezy triggers which kinda puts me off it. Will go nicely with your squonkers tho. Cheers bud. Not feeling that one tbh. May work well with me squonking...but for a tank i dont think id get on well with it. Richard...cheers for that. Yes they are very different prices lol.
Will see if anyone else knows of any other ideas before i pull the trigger. Yes vastly different just posted for accuracy. Mind there did used to be Xvostick clones?

Ok...got the kf5...even after my first quick build i know its gonna be a keeper... So is the tesla 70w the smallest 18650 vw cage mod i can get? The Xvostick is only 84mm high against the Tesla at 88.9 but very different price. Other differences obviously.

NO NO Pepperty you store your own stuff. Actually that looks like a later SD with the big button. I have one (well OK maybe 3) of those plus the bits of a really antique one with the little button.

I was thinking earlier today, what happens if I go out today and get crushed under wheels of a wagon, who do I leave my vape stash to>??? I mean, what if the family just car-boot the lot for 50 pence a go This worries me a bit too as I have passed my three score and ten. I would just leave instructions for it to go to my vaping pals but despite my entreaties about coiling and mixing etc none of them would know what to do with all these RTAs and drippers and nicotine base etc. Not in your league but it mounts up. Actually a friend's son vapes fairly seriously so I guess he will get it. On topic I keep my nic stash (about 7L but I mix for 3) in the freezer obviously; I have a little pine display stand I made myself for current attys/juice. A high up wall cabinet for concentrates and current bottle of base. Tools in my Coilmaster case and the rest in various drawers. Then the really old stuff from 2009-12 (Totally Wicked things with the blue light and various Screwdrivers etc) is in the loft as I cannot bear to part with it.

but if they sell it , could it be stopped at customs ? what ya think Who knows totally but I cannot see what legislation would justify that. i.e. we have bought a product it is legal to posses; legally sold (outside the EU by a non EU retailer) and legally purchased. (The TPD says nothing about buying being illegal). Being stopped by customs could indeed itself be illegal.

But is it TPD compliant? Does it matter lol More importantly it is Heath Robinson compliant. Serious point though how are squonkers going to be regarded under the new tank limits?

I must have watched about half a dozen YouTube reviews of the Nano both US & UK. All but one of them makes quite a big deal of the excellent flavour produced. (One Zophie I think it was did not mention flavour IIRC she is a tad distracting). Not one gave it a negative. Just as consistently all the posters on here have said flavour is rubbish.
Is this just chance? Are the big reviewers talking random rubbish or is something more going on?

Would you believe it. I looked high and low on Thursday on here and on UKV for some comments on The OBS Nano before ordering and not a sausage nothing; zilch. Like the rest of you this looked to me like it might tick all the boxes. So ordered anyway on the strength of the reviews. Now look all this bad news comes out; curse you minime & you smokingaces (shakes fist at sky) it is all too late for me and I blame you entirely. Only consolation is my taste buds are pretty much broken by 40 years of Old Holborn and other assorted bad habits anyway. Good to hear everything else on the Nano is fine though. When mine arrives if I manage to taste anything I will share my dark wicking secrets. PS thanks for the cotton plug tip I was thinking about blocking the second hole somehow.

Don't be puzzled. You are totally correct. The vendors are using the TPD as an excuse to have sales on many things. They just find it easier to 'pretend' they are doing this because of the TPD as it fits the general mood to panic buy. Mods that come in kits with non-TPD tanks are of course needed to be sold. It's been the same with coils recently too. They are selling off coils for non-TPD tanks at sale price. I guess they don't intend to keep stocking them for very long and be part of a general plan to 'gently persuade' existing vapers to buy new tanks. Trying to make 100% sense of it is not easy. Some of it is BS strategy. Some of it is genuine. if the mod includes a tank and the box dont have the right sticker on it they gota flog it befor tpdfg thingy comes in it dont matter if the tank is tpd compliant if it hasnt got said sticker on it and im not sure if its the same for mods none of it makes much sence but it seems to be like the warnings on fag packets ie if it dont have it dont get sold yep it will affect anything with a tank but not stand alone mods/batteries. Nothing in the tpd about them.

I am a little puzzled by the references to looking out for mods on here. If vendors are using the TPD to put mods in sales it is a bit odd as mods are not affected by the TPD at all unless I am missing something.

Unlike with sales in the context of advertising the term used is 'in the course of a business'. So I do not see that it can apply to any of us who are not involved in a business making such comments. i.e. not technically advertising or indeed advertising at all. Again just my view; but here is the wording; 43.—(1) No person may in the course of a business include, or procure the inclusion of, an electronic cigarette advertisement in an information society service provided to a recipient in the United Kingdom. (2) No service provider established in the United Kingdom may in the course of a business include an electronic cigarette advertisement in an information society service provided to a recipient in an EEA State other than the United Kingdom (“a non-UK-EEA-State”). I think that in the case of a private individual you're probably right Richard46 .... although not in the case of a vendor. Yep that was why I said I do not see that it can apply to any of us who are not involved in a business.

On TPD advertising side of things. If I or a vender themselves post a link to a great bargain from a uk vendor isn't that technically advertising? What that be against the TPD :\ Unlike with sales in the context of advertising the term used is 'in the course of a business'. So I do not see that it can apply to any of us who are not involved in a business making such comments. i.e. not technically advertising or indeed advertising at all.

I have kept nicotine in a cool dark place for months (some probably for a year or more) no probs. For a few days should be fine almost anywhere.
Edit more important perhaps that it is somewhere safe from accidental use (or being nicked; sorry).

Not yet anyway Actually I have just realised that from next week I may be a criminal anyway. I mix small amounts of juice for a couple of friends. One of them keeps chickens and pays me in fresh eggs. At 70 it looks like I may have become an illegal drug dealer. I have a baseball cap somewhere just need the hoody now.
