It's a mistake to break conventions - no proper editing box, for a start. Dismal themes - the only one I can tolerate is the green on green and that's only because the old board was green-ish and I was used to that.
I suppose I will get used to it, and in truth, if the new theme had already been in place when I first joined up I would have just accepted it, but change for change's sake is never a good thing.
For an example of how it should be done I would point to www.boards.ie , where there was an 'update' of appearance but existing members could choose to keep the old theme in their preferences for as long as they liked. Guess what? I much preferred the old one as the new layout was too garish and gauche, much like this.

The first time I met another vaper, I was just sitting in my car puffing away on my Ego/carto and went over to the mobile chip van nearby. The bloke behind the counter pulled out this massive tool and waved it about.
I think it was an LT and I was immediately struck with Device Envy - now I have two of them and enough tanks to wave around in public myself.

No wonder they disarmed the populace.

Being at the end of a long chain of mail-order steps for getting anything to me, I was pleasantly surprised today, to find that my local pharmacist, who isn't the cheapest, could flog me a 500ml bottle of VG for €6 - this beats the pants off buying it + postage, by a good couple of quid.
I've been buying it locally by the small bottle until now, but they aren't very cheap for that size; fortunately I don't rattle through it at a rate of knots, but the larger bottle will do for a year, I think.
Not much point in stockpiling PG and VG against a ban - I can't see the EU restricting sales or regulating that any time, but I'm deffo starting to buy in long-term supplies of e-nic juice base.

Hhmmm... just tried this method and first couple of vapes were improved in taste, but I noticed fairly quickly that If I don't get it just right, the vape is still a bit hot as it passes over my throat and that would irritate it.
I also end up with a voice like Edith Piaf... Je, ne regret le vape...

Ignoring for a moment the possibility the EU's knickers being in a twist because of greasy backhanders from Big Tobacco and Big Pharma, there's another, very realistic reason for this.
They have a different mindset to us - they don't like people having the audacity to actually do something without their approval. Recall, that in many countries in a part of the world not so far from us, what isn't actually permitted by law and the authorities is illegal.
Contrast this with Good Old British [1] Freedoms - we can do what we like until it's made unlawful, as long as we're not harming anyone. Your average European bureaucrat gets a bit peeved at this - imagine, the cheek of the ordinary people to think they can cock a snook at Brussels and actually do something like that en-masse without permission or paying taxes on it.

My opinion? Stuff 'em. Stuff 'em right in the eyes.

[1] I include myself in this, because I'm British, but also the Irish legal system is the same.

Lovely job, cheers.
