Funny how all the disposables cost the same as a 20 deck isn't it ??? Mind you it was the expensive refills on my Tesco pharmacy cig that led me to the forums .
A foolish and naive idea that doing some interweb research would save me money and not lead 12 months on to me having a large tupper ware box of batts , mods , atties and juice .

I think the time for keeping our little secret has gone . Vaping is now main stream , every day I pass a new bricks and mortar shop or see another on line retailer opening . A big American tobacco bought a cigalike company last month . The World Health Organization had a meeting the other day with e cigs on the agenda .And Argos are selling kits now . www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4531331.htmwww.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2135984/If-beat-em-join-em-U-S-Tobacco-giant-Lorillard-buys-e-cigarette-company-Blu-Ecig-135m-deal.html Sorry can't find a link to the WHO meeting . But if big pharma and big tabacco and the UK's biggest on line retailer are on the case our little hobby is in trouble . NRT manufactures will be buggered when people find ecigs work better than patches or gum . Tobacco company's will either start making their own branded cigalikes or push some money at fighting them via lobbyists(as has happened) . Government would need to recoup revenue losses as vaping becomes more popular . If only 50% of e cig users ditch the fags that's still a big financial hit for the above interested parties to take . I,m not in tin foil hat mode it's happening . www.thecommentator.com/article/1660/the_european_union_and_big_pharma_a_tale_of_corporate_lobbying . At worst a total ban or a bland tasting regulated and taxed chemist bought e cig .Or maybe such strict testing and compliance on ejuice that most small manufactures couldn't afford to obtain . Or they could leave us alone and let us carry on not paying tax on our addiction (apart from VAT)and feeling healthier with out nicorette and the such like getting a fortune of the tax payer via NHS NRT clinics for their poorly performing product . Follow the money thats the way it usually ends .I think were up against it all those vested interests and myopic anti smoking groups who now seem to find e cigs just as evil as tobacco . Unite and fight  Keep up the good work Russell . |

Another maybe here . I'll see if I'm on a Saturday shift the following day . One slight reservation with it being a Friday as most bars will be full , it may prevent us filling a table with devices and talking shop . |
