It does cost extra* but you can of course buy the stuff already in 200ml glass bottles. Dark Star now supply as ' standard ' their Nic Base in Amber glass bottles Richard . . . . in any volume other than 100ml I *think* it is. That does not seem to be stated on their site www.darkstarvapour.co.uk/shop/72mg-nicotine/72mg-pg-nicotinePerhaps I have missed it.

* the price of a few packs of cigs per liter although still not inconsiderable when buying 4 plus liters obviously.

Nothing wrong storing less strong "premix" snow , only you'll need a lot more of it to last the same period of time. Remember premix <20mg/ml should still be available post TPD apocalypse. [ETA] .... albeit in 10ml stupid sized bottles! I expect most people will have done their own calculations but it looks like the end of DIY mixing on a medium to large scale anyway. My most telling calculation is that from one of my current 200 ml bottles of 7.2% base I can make nearly a liter and a half of e-juice (1440ml) at 1% nic. To achieve the same amount at the same strength with 10ml* 'bottles' I will need to buy decant and discard 80 of the little buggers. *at 1.8% which is likely to be the maximum strength available to avoid running foul of the 2% limit. Same as now the legal limit is actually 7.5% but sellers only usually risk 7.2%

You'd need to store much less the stronger you go, so I'd encourage you to think 72mg/ml. (,,,) I'm like a broken record . . . . but some of my stash has been in the freezer for over 5 years stored in this way, without the benefit of scientific testing it appears as fresh as the day it went in.Just what I wanted to hear as well. Sitting here, with the bottom draw of the freezer all cleaned and cleared waiting for a decades? delivery of 72 nic base so that is good news. Thanks that is the longest nic base storage I have read about.

1st up moonshot clone www.fasttech.com/p/4669600it arrived in one piece with spares ect but when I checked it with no build in I ws getting atty short message on the mod the reason no sodding insulator for positive pin (top and between deck and pin) making the tank useless I have managed to make one with some I had left over 2nd up the vcmt www.fasttech.com/p/4669700awesome tank and arrived ok ect but boy the glass tank is sooooo tight its hard to pull the tan apart to rebuild it its so bad I cracked it after one day of use and have ordered 3 more glass tanks to see if they are as bad I had to use rubber gloves to grip this tank nuff to unassemble it and any one with anything less than hulk strength would have great difficulty with this tankhope that helps I find these indispensible with tight tanks; have you tried them www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262404606459?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITI did have a couple of similar from ft (well china anyway) and they worked fine but both broke rather quickly. Cannot be certain yet but i think the ebay ones look stronger. They look like genuine Coil Master nb they will not work with anything smaller than 22mm

Fine to have a few citations but I think giving our own quitting stories to MPs is more effective.

At the least (or maybe the most) I think a loud shout against the current TPD will make some of those we laughingly call our representatives think twice about further anti-vaping legislation/punative taxation etc. Make no mistake things could get a lot worse. If we do stay in the EU hopefully the next time the EU commission comes up with nanny legislation those MEPs of an anti EU persuasion will be tempted by our strong vaping lobby to use us as a stick to beat the EU. If that helps stop say future legislation against all refillables (which has long been on the cards) then showing our strength now must be a good thing. At least one MEP has said they voted for the TPD without even knowing what an e-cig was so perhaps we can at least avoid that again. We can be sure that whether or not the vaping industry and community thinks lobbying is worth while our enemies certainly do.

I'm hoping by the time I've used my 1.5 litre 72mg stash, there'll be a workaround of some sort I am sure there already are but sadly they do not involve any benefits for UK (or EU) retailers.

Louise Ross has been a brave and isolated beacon of knowledge and common sense in the Stop Smoking Industry for a long time now. Total respect to her. She was there advocating for us before PHE and RCS where.

I think the relevant wording is; (5) The provisions of regulations 36 to 38 (product requirements etc of electronic cigarettes) do not apply to the supply of an electronic cigarette or a refill container where —
(a) the product was produced before 20th November 2016; and
(b) the supply takes place before 20th May 2017.
So as I read it non-compliant stock can be produced until Nov 16 and sold until May 17.

I emailed Viscount Ridley last week through www.theyworkforyou.com/peer/25174/viscount_ridleyI wrote: As a vaper can I offer my thanks for the question you asked in the House (26th April) about the possible affect of the TPD on ejuice concentration and smoking cessation. I gave up a heavy 45 year smoking habit two years ago. I found I had to use 30+mg/ml ejuice to stop smoking. I have now reduced this to around 10mg but I might not have got to that point without the stronger mix. Such products will as you know soon cease to be available over the counter. Without reasonably freely available vaping in a range of strengths and flavours I would probably still be smoking 40 cigarettes a day. Vaping offers some huge public health benefits without any charge on the public purse. Indeed it offers the UK commercial and public financial benefits if its effectiveness is not stifled by unnecessary regulation and additional taxation. It is good to know that vaping has an informed and sympathetic voice in the HofLs Thank you again, please feel free to use this post. Richard ***** We need to encourage our friends whenever we can.

Sadly it all appears to be a little late as the TPD is coming into force, and lots of bans appearing across the world. If only these people had come out a year ago what a difference it could have made. sydsut , much as I respect your opinion, I have to disagree with you here. It wouldn't have made any difference how early these people had stepped forward and pitched in their expert opinion/advice. IMO, this was never about public health, it was about filling a void in the budget and to make sure there is enough left to fill political pockets. Having said that, methinks Prof. Britton won't be very high on big Dave's Christmas card list. Everything else that attracts additional taxation is justified on health or environmental grounds. i.e. cigarettes; alcohol; fuel. It is going to be much more difficult; if not impossible to impose additional taxation; excise duties etc on a product that is being advanced as a healthy option by most medical/health experts.
