Yeah given the volume of packages going through the system i imagine they are pulling out random ones to slap VAT on.
I had two separate packages delivered the day after i got hit with VAT from FT and neither of those got charged.

But even so i don't want to be ordering from FT with even the possibility i'm going to be £11 extra out of pocket especially when the fix is so easy, just lower the amount declared.

No it was someone very aptly named Echo.

Try a 70/30 VG/PG ratio that should give you nice thick dense clouds and that tank should be able to keep up with wicking fine.
There should be a wattage range etched somewhere on the side of the coil.

From what i found online the Q2 Core is rated for 55-65W i would start at 45W to break the coil in and increase it a little at a time until you hit your sweetspot.

The T8 is rated at 50-110W again start at the low end and work your way up until you hit a point that suits.

Yeah this was marked as replacement electronic parts too.

I sent a ticket to FT complaining about it so maybe they'll adjust the declarations.

Just had a parcel delivered from FT and HMRC slapped a VAT charge on it, not import duty, VAT.
They hadn't opened the package so they must have just gone by the declared value on the package the declaration on the package was $19.10 which according to Google's currency exchange rate is £15.72.
According to the HMRC website goods valued over £15 are liable for VAT.

I'm hoping this is just a random thing, with the tax they charged and RM's handling fee i had to pay £11.08

Seen a few of the US reviewers on Youtube reviewing these pod type devices lately.
This one apparently has TC built in and low liquid detection, this one doesn't look like it has refillable pods but some of the other similar devices offer ready filled and refillable pods.
I think these have their place, probably decent enough for someone looking to quit smoking not so good though for someone who wants to switch to vaping long term.
You're going to limited by flavours for one with pods that can't be refilled, the pods and the batteries are propitiatory to each other too which makes sense for the manufacturer not for the consumer.

I'm probably in the minority but i actually like to see tobacco companies moving toward vaping tech, i'd much rather see them making vape devices than cigarettes.
These companies aren't going to go away and to have them move from tobacco products to vape products to make money is only a good thing in my opinion.

The one thing i don't like is them using their massive wealth and influence to muscle independent manufacturers out of the market through lobbying for legislation.
I would like to see them compete in a free market and honestly they could probably win without being devious b**tards.
They have all the money in the world for R&D, they have manufacturing and distribution networks worldwide, to be honest they could easily price their competitors out of the market.
