richarduel It would be interesting to know why Cancer Research UK want to know about these parental attitudes and how such data would influence their corporate strategies and/or be employed in some other way.

Just thought rather than start a new topic I would post an update to this one. Well my venture into the vaping world failed miserably, I couldn't give up the ritual of rolling up a ciggie, and that ritual/routine is just addictive as the smoking, well I think so anyway. However I did cut down my intake of tobacco from 125grms a week to 75grms. Then after a lengthy stay in the UK I have just returned to Spain with stronger determination this time to kick the habit. I think the main problems before was VG to PG ratio and/or nicotine strength making me cough my guts up. Added to that it wasn't one or the other, I was smoking and vaping with the intention to gradually increase the vaping and decrease the smoking but the reverse happened. So the 1st of November was D-day this time and I'm now 15 days into a smoke free zone. I'm vaping @ 6mg nic and using 5ml a day but although I'm not coughing on inhale/exhale I still have coughing fits and cough up what looks like clear thick flem but I haven't gone into too much examination, but from what my understanding this is this is quite normal. Well that's about it, oh my Kanger RBA Deck broke but because sellers won't deliver to a different address that's become another issue. Due to the impending restrictive regulations brought about because of pressure from the pharma and tobacco industry, I wonder if the new contraband to fill our holiday suitcases will be vaping items/juice hmmm After 40 plus years of rolling (like yourself) I certainly recognise that. Took me some years of stop and start but one fine day 2 and a half years ago I just knew I rolled my last cig. Fingers still automatically twitched for the papers for about 6 months but it passed eventually. Well done with 2 clear weeks the worst should be over; keep it up and get backups for backups of everything. BTW we are all different and many find tobacco flavours do not help them but although I have never found anything that really tasted like a fag I have never enjoyed any flavours that where not tobacco related in some way. I mostly use RY4 type flavourings in my own mix. 6mg sounds low to start with I am still mixing at about 10mg but whatever works works. Good Luck.

I'd of thought that the beginning of October was fairly "current". I would have thought todays price was the only current one.

Whilst I can see that a £10 difference in price would tempt folks to go for the cheaper option, what really concerns me is that a firm can drop the price of a litre of NicBase by £10 within a period of one month. At this rate, within 6 months they will be paying us to take it away!!!!! It is only fair to compare current prices though; regardless of the reason for them.

The obvious thing (obvious is not always right of course) would be to keep base as still as possible during the months/years of storage to reduce chemical interaction and then just before use; once it has reached room temp; shake it as much as possible to ensure even distribution.

So what happens when article 50 is finally invoked UK can make there own choice,as EU law wont stand unless enshrined already into UK law,as already put once actioned no EU Court can overall Brit Law or Courts,Ruling so never know maybe way round this,and if this comes into Force in May it wont apply here,As Article 50 will be invoked by then[hopefully],which would mean EU directive after this date will not be enforceable here,unless UK Gov goes with it, maybe someone should try to find out The TPD has already been transcribed into UK law ANd here it is www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/507/contents/made

First name terms now is it eh. I sense romance in the air. . . . . . blimey, I couldn't be doing with all that kerfuffle now Richard! Happy to stick to being Colin's vaping advisor, eliquid maker and re-coiler of Protank heads . . . . although we have exchanged mobile numbers. Sharing your vaping stash and you are clearly aquainted with what he gets up to in the morning,,,, Hmmm sounds like

Thank you @yinyang and Dave Postmodern Smoking . Although I do believe that there will be future ' workarounds ' . . . . . ordered a little more base, as I've Colin from the Common to take into account now! ( He's doing remarkably well, from 20 a day - he's not had a cigarette since last Tuesday morning, no cravings or even thoughts about smoking apparently. Subohming won't be of interest to him and I wouldn't think about reducing his 16mg nic strength yet a while. ) First name terms now is it eh. I sense romance in the air.

Damn these people, damn them! I guess I need to find out more about what else is being restricted. Presumably the nanny super-staters are still allowing us to make our own coils and rewick? Panic in the right places i.e. nic base and decent sized tanks perhaps, wire and cotton will not be affected. But yes damn the bastards.

You can still buy large quantities of 72mg nic from the likes of Darkstar and EverythingLiquid (other retailers are available) but for how long who knows. At some point it is likely that only 10ml bottles will be avaliable in the UK and at only 18-20mg.

I have also read somewhere on the internet, so it must be true, that not moving or disturbing your stash if you can avoid it also helps. More movement more molecular action or some such. Even in a domestic freezer nic base does not actually freeze of course; it remains 'liquid'.
