Whilst I can bring very little to this discussion in the way of technical knowledge, I am following this debate with great interest. Bobsbeer and nanotm , please keep discussing, as it will affect us all in some form. Perhaps I could be so bold as to ask (rhetorically or otherwise), what we will actually do come May 2016 when this becomes law? Maybe things are already in motion, but is there a way that we can keep ourselves together as a community? More than that perhaps, but I do seriously wonder just how the whole affair will be policed? If I look at my personal buying habits, a mixture of local B & M stores and the Chinese vendors, with UK-based suppliers of concentrates, etc., as well as Nicotine Base. How much of this will be unavailable, and if it is still available and I choose to use these vendors, how will the authorities prevent me? I might be being naive here, but I really do think that the police have much more important things to worry about rather than stopping each and every vaper they see and checkinig when they purchased their mod, and where from. As an example, I remember only months ago the 'soft-touch' response promised by a senior officer with Devon and Cornwall Police with respect to the new laws prohibiting smoking in cars containing under-18s. Has anyone heard tell of a prosecution of this law up to now?
Let's keep discussing; it WILL affect us all! No one is going to be stopped and asked to account for their vaping equipment because; as has been explained; the TPD is concerned with production and supply not with possession. Even if the Police had the resources to check our atomisers for compliance there will be no legal basis for them to do it.

Produced does not mean possess; nor I think can it be interpreted to mean possess.

If the ads are for non-e-cig products then I think vaping forums will be able to continue carrying them

The proposed advertising restrictions; as I read them; will affect forums and meets and fests etc but only if they are sponsored by e-cig commercial interests.

All I heard was him pretty much admit that he still smoked a bit. Either way I doubt he is about to join the vaping community.

I suppose if it was someone who I know was never going to bother with refilling etc and who I was not going to have the time/opportunity to coach in the dark vaping arts I would other things being equal consider it.
Except Nicocigs Ltd who make the vivid have been taken over by Philip Morris and I would seek high and low to get someone off smoking without putting a farthing in their filthy coffers.

how do people fire this mod? thumb or finger? button position seems weird I normally hold mine with the middle finger acting as a trigger finger because the button is lower than normal - a very nice out & about mod Me too plus the pinky underneath to prevent dropping. My favourite going out mod with good protection for the atty. Also any leaks stay in the well and not in your pocket because of the high sides of the atty well. (I have the original I presume the clone is the same).

It is lucky this thread has not got out of hand and slipped into crude innuendo.

Just one cigarette and you will die. Actually you will die anyway we all will.
Does anyone else have nightmares about having one cigarette or is it just me?

Does this piece in bold mean that internet selling of e-cigs etc are not prohibited (unlike Spain which will ban all internet sales along with all shop sales as well): To me it sounds as though UK vendors will not be hit like Spain's vendors are going to be hit, whether online or as a B & M shop From what I have read, the UK government are being a lot more lenient than the Spanish government where the regs they're bringing in are horrendous. I am not sure what that bit does mean to be honest but I don't read it as having any bearing on internet activity. i.e. it is talking about press and printed publications. Having read the rest of the damned thing once I still have no idea what it means for internet selling.

Don't get me wrong Richard46 I'm no fan of BT, or their brand of e cig. I fear you are missing the point I'm making though. My point is more the longer term than the initial products coming on stream via MHRA, which I'm sure will be crap. This isn't about the product but the principle that is being set. Vaping is good. Vaping should be encouraged. Vaping should be allowed. Doctors are being encouraged and can prescribe it. In the public's eyes that is tacit approval. It makes it harder to ban all types of vaping equipment, when vaping is allowed if you use a certain e cig. Let's face it, to non vapers, an e cig is an e cig. They don't know the difference between a Vype or a Kanger. To them they are e cigs, and up until now, both are just as bad as the other. So I do think this is a very important step in the right direction. Not the end by any means, but at least we are going in the right direction. There is a very long way to go with this, but this one is 15 love to vapers, not BT. I do hope you are right but I fear the main principle that people will perceive being set is that they are all having to subsidise smokers lack of will power. Never mind the general public; I am going to resent unwillingly being made to subsidise BAT's profit margin. We are going to be paying BAT to provide both the problem and the cure.
