That story is 13 years old. I suspect they may have closed that loophole by now.

charliehorse & Richard46 I'm not in the UK. When we do online transactions up till now we have had a card with numbers on and each number has a security code beside it which we have had to state when finalising the transactions. They are doing away with the card system and now they are going to send the codes to our smartphones, that's why we need a smartphone. A normal phone can't receive these messages apparently. As for stuffing their services, it is extremely hard over here to get everything moved over to a new bank account. All standing orders, direct debits etc would go haywire for about 3 months - it's not unusual when changing banks for just about everything to get cut off, electricity, water, internet etc etc it causes so much hassle you wouldn't believe. That is a bummer.

My awnser is don't have a smartphone, ditched mine years ago because of the poor battery life, don't need to be tied to charger everyday (thats for the Istick lol). I now have a £50 dual sim basic phone, does job and only charge it once a week. MP We haven't got smartphones but our online banking now requires that we have them in order to carry out transactions online. This is a new thing so I went to our bank last week and asked the bank manager what we were supposed to do as we don't own any smartphones and she said "you'll have to buy them" I couldn't believe that the bank was literally making us buy smartphones or do away with our online banking facility. What is the world coming to I've now ordered 2 cheap ones from China (FT) as they are sooooooo expensive over here. Will use eset smart security to protect them. Already spoken to eset as they already cover my computer and my 'ol man's laptop so it won't cost too much more to put the 2 phones on my licence apparently. Got no idea how these smartphones work, how to set them up or anything lol. Am an old timer when it comes to a phone, just dial up and speak, send the odd text now and then haha. What bank was this? Are you in the UK. Why did you not tell them to stuff their services?

Reuleaux RX200 (Triple 18650 though). With latest firmware has an SS pre-set as well as variable memories that can be set to SS temp calibration. Problem I have with this is that my SS build keeps switching itself to power mode. Booooo I had this with one early build but whatever I am doing now seems to work fine. I think my current coil is .5 317L SS about 8 wraps on a 3.5mm jig. It is .5ohms anyway.

Thanks guys. Can anyone recommend a descent mod that has the SS function? Reuleaux RX200 (Triple 18650 though). With latest firmware has an SS pre-set as well as variable memories that can be set to SS temp calibration.

I am interested in why closing ones mind to evidence is invariably described as being 'open-minded'. Ahahahahahaha that's one way of putting things and seems to work from both sides. I think the trouble is working out who is making up evidence and who has an agenda. My problem is that control from governments and other high powers with them don't usually really care about us. One example is our vaping and how they are bending all that to suit. This trate seems very common and I just find myself being very skeptical of anything they do and say Both sides? Not sure about that . I only ever hear 'open minded' as describing those who believe in things that there is no substantial evidence for. The suggestion is always that those who are receptive to hard evidence are closed-minded which seems a tad unfair.

Welcome m8, for the money it is a cracking mod, and sure you will be pleased with it. only slight negative would be it's a heavy beast, so not the easiest to lug around. I have two of these beasties (both on v 3.00 Firmware) Love em to death but 1 they stay at home not pocket friendly. 2 I charge batteries as groups In my Xtar VC4 in sets of 3 married for the purpose which does add to the cost. Anything else is a pain.

I could be mistaken but I would be amazed if Trading Standards would bother chasing coils

I find contact coils easier to build and maintain Me too and having no problems with the 317L I obtained from Crazy wire last week. Very easy to work with. Have mostly just used the .5 stuff so far. Mostly micro coils on a 3.5 coil master jig with about 8 wraps.

It's encouraging to finally see a retailer who's bothered to read the actual (draft) UK law (the Department of Health's interpretation of the TPD) about the sale of nicotine rather than repeat the received wisdom mistakenly put about by some who ought to know better. Right I have been wondering if it matters much what the UK legislation will actually say because there are so many assumptions; extrapolations and interpretations being stated; and acted on; as fact. The Vapeable reading does look like the most balanced so far.

will China abide to the new rules? don't think so. So still think like tanks and mods will still openly be sold via Chinese vendors. Who can really say yet but It would appear from the article below that in the case of toy manufacture the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) etc has been working closely with EU authorities to ensure they conform to EU directives. Plus would Chinese manufacturers be bothered to continue lines that they know EU retailers will not carry? I believe the EU is their biggest market for vaping products. There will anyway be easier ways for the Chinese to continue to provide tank options without outright defiance of the EU rules. www.giz.de/en/worldwide/15567.html
