Just tried the Vintage Vapors Serenity in a aero dripper and getting completely different flavour to how it was in the shop frown

Ever tried salt & pepper Pringles? Thats what I'm getting here....loads of black pepper!!!! In the shop it was a lovely earl grey tea/honey flavour (really nice!!) Maybe needs steeping but should be really to go looking at the batch date??

Gins Addiction tonight & Northern Lights tomorrow wink

I think these are the best of the ones I bought yesterday, not too expensive either (I think it was £11 for 20ml??) so worth trying.
Yeah, same price here. Nice.

Just tried all three again in the magma dripper.

Five Pawns....worth every penny!!! Loads more flavour in a proper dripper, really is a must to try. Sort of dark chocolate/menthol taste.
Gin Addiction...wow!!! This stuffs just incredible but no way an adv for me. Too full on but still lovely now and again. I'll get the rest of the range next pay day smile

Serenity. Not sure what's going on here! Had the exact earl grey/honey flavour for a couple secs, lovely!! then back to the horrible pepper taste. Coils not burning or anything just keeps giving that Pringles pepper flavour frown Wouldnt get these again especially at 18 quid a pop frown

Been speaking to a chemist who works for Boots this evening and she reckons that this will all be 'regulated' sometime in 2016.

No one wants it to fall under the gubbermint's control but I guess there's nothing surer.

Anyone care to advise on what that might mean?

If they regulate, and I reckon they will eventually, then it'll be the liquid that's covered...

I can see it needing to be medically tested, and under pharmaceutical qc. In which case, all the bloody lovely 'artisan' liquids will die. Stone dead.

Leaving stty Chinese made, mass produced, chemically tasting, ste.

Deep joy.

It seems to me that a grass roots movement and a bit of small scale capitalism are doing more for smoking harm reduction than big pharma and nanny government - time to interfere!

I must admit, while I've no worries about the nicotine or the base, it is conceivable that some of the flavourings may be dangerous to inhale. I just doubt they're as dangerous as tobacco smoke.

hmmm - hand luggage only this week and don't really want to risk £100 worth of set up. Might just have a few days on analogues.
You should be ok to bring mods onboard its just the liquid. Like I say they sell it airside anyway, it might be stty bluecig stuff but beats going back on the fags for a few days.

Shes talking about article 20 of the tobacco products directive. With the help of labour mep, linda macavan our friends in brussels decided to include ecigs alongside analogues etc. It was passed into eu law in April 2013 and has to be implemented by member states by may 2016. Basically vaping as it stands is going to have a truck driven through it.

Totally wicked won the right to challenge it but if that fails its back to petrol station cigalikes or fags.

google article 20 tpd for the full impact this could have.

Gins addiction is the one which properly got me off the tabs. Such a wonderful complex flavour with hints of lime, blackcurrent, gin and anise. All the halcyon stuff is great.

I don't think so.

How can they stop the power of Internet forums and buying stuff from overseas via the Internet?

The Genie is out of the bottle and millions of vapers will find a way.

They can't even stop people taking illegal drugs, I can't imagine the authorities putting a lot of effort into chasing people who are simply pursuing harm reduction and trying to save their own lives.

Haven't tried it mate but seems to get decent reviews. The Naitilus has been out a while now so probably better stuff available. What coils do they use btw?
It comes with 3 coils, 2 organic cotton plug and play in 0.5 & 1.2ohm and a rebuildable which comes with wire and a bag of cotton. Can't fault it really - I shall be getting a new drip tip though

Long shot, but I'm working in Manor Royal, Crawley - is there a vape shop anywhere near I could get some bvc coils from tomorrow?

Some stupid bloody idiot has killed his last coil without realising he had run out of replacements...

Yep that's the one I liked in the shop then hated when I tried it at home. It's gone in the bin

You talking about the Kanger Mini Subtank? Mine came with 2 plug and play coils in 0.5 & 1.2ohm, I have only used the 1.2ohm coil. One coil fitted to the deck and a spare premade coil. Spare cotton, O rings and mini screwdriver

For people like you and me who are already informed this may be true. Its future vapers that will be ignorant to what used to be freely available. Vaping isnt going to get any easier as the powers that be are trying to snuff it out.

The uk is expected to outline its interpretation of article 20 anytime now so we should have an idea of what contingency measures we need to take.

Thanks I'll take a closer look at the sub tanks. I do like Kanger stuff but hardly use their tanks anymore.

I've been mainly dripping the last few days with the magma, tried a 0.4 ohm build with a thick beefy coil but found this way too hot, this sub ohming stuffs not for me! rebuilt to 1.3ohms with a micro coil and its miles better (which has surprised me tbh!!) These new juices ive bought really come into their own with a dripper....still prefer a decent RBA though. Drippings ok now and again but gets on my tits a bit especially getting a dry hit when I forget to top it up!

I'll try the serenity again later, maybe nicer with the new build.

Anybody looking for nice flavour juives that aren't that expensive, give 'The Vial' juices a go. Really nice wink

I don't sub ohm I put the 1.2ohm coil in and used the settings a reviewer was using, something like 22W. I found it way too warm/hot. I dropped the wattage down to 16W and realised you need a full on lung inhale to cool the vapour. I don't use it all evening, Nautilus Mini most of the time (mouth to lung) and a lung hit on the subtank every now and again with 3mg of nic.

For the Nautilus minis I now have 6mg and 0mg juice and mix a bit of both on each top up. not down to 3mg but getting there.
