Hi again.

Hi guys,
Back again :D I'm looking for some info this time, and know some of you guys should have some answers. :)
Some of you may remember I switched to vapeing some time back. In the UK, we've been seeing some horror stories about 'vapeing Armageddon' from the FDA hitting US vapers.
This was one of the emails I received in the past few days.

So what's actually happening ?
The U.K. had some horror stories over an 'add on' to the TPD (tobacco products directive) This was all funded by the tobacco companies, aimed at controlling vape kit, to reduce lost profits. A lot of European countries got hit hard, the UK introduced it at a minimal level.
I've upgraded a bit, and now use a VTbox200 and a Lavabox as my main mods. Both are DNA200 mods, evolves DNA200 chip does deliver, and the backup evolve provide can't be faulted. Both are 3s LiPo powered, the ones supplied in the VTbox are truly horrendous packs of DANGEROUS. One arrived from the factory, the LiPo looked like it had partially vented ! They where marked as 1800mAh, the best I had tested to 1150mAh (1 tested @ 950mAh) I found that the Turnigy nano tech 1300 fit the VTbox, and where MUCH safer than the stock cells. The Lavabox has a 900mAh 3s, but there's an 'extender' pack available with a 1300 3s and bigger case cover to allow for the larger cell. It's a really nice mod, and well thought out. :) I'd also say, the LiPos used in the Lavabox are MUCH safer than the ones in the VTs.

Good to hear from you again Phil.

Sorry to say that I really don't know much about this. I only know one person that does vape, and a forum member here. What I do know is that E cigarette which are not now regulated have been under scrutiny to be regulated. If and when that happens, I am sure that vaping will be also. But I don't see a ban coming

I don't Vape either. But you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a vape shop. Seems that if there was a change in the law it would be big news around here.

[Philxj4L]

Cheers guys. We had folk running round like headless chickens over the TPD, wailing that 'all vape kit will be banned' and that it would be the end of vapeing !
There was also a very large number of people (inc vape shops) that knew nothing about it. In some EU countries, you can only get very basic kit.
What most people didn't realise was the small point, that the TPD was, and is, unenforceable. The U.K. can't stop illeagl tobacco/alcohol/drugs entering the country by post. To stop people getting vape kit from China they'd need to check every damned package entering the country, and they've neither the manpower or budget to do this.
The odd thing is, even though most of the kit is from Chinese companies, you can be arrested and imprissoned for owning/using/selling vape kit in China.

Kind of like the opium trade used to be :D

In Oregon you can't turn around without either seeing a vape shop or pot store. Their numbers put Starbucks to shame.
