The best thing to do would be for all vapers to boycott all juice makers. Serve them right for being such a bunch of irresponsible, lazy, self-serving, profiteering, unregulated criminals.

Save vaping - switch to DIY! :)

Switch to DIY indeed... so long as you have half a brain!

I absolutely agree, juice is becoming insanely expensive. At £15 for 30mls of anything decent is 50p per ml..... I understand about TPD costs but.... jaysus. It's insane. INSANE I TELL YOU!

One shot style is the way forward for premiums.... not made up in fanta bottles...
 
Since when seeing a bottle of Fanta make you want to rebel n drink it [emoji13]now if they started selling Stella flavoured liquid I could understand. Adults like haribos too. wind yer necks in ffs

So other than stealing a design concept from Coca-Cola they are guilty of nothing. AFAIK that stuff is available in 0mg with an optional nicotine shot, which makes it and that bottle fully TRPR compliant.

I'm not concerned about compliance, the point is it is available with nicotine included and the branding is clearly targeting children. As for stealing copyright material, that is illegal and the sort of behaviour that will give ammunition to the anti vaping nannies.

I Googled "Fantasi e liquid" and this was the first hit on the list:

Which shows standard dripper bottles containing zero nicotine, with a nic shot availiable separately, rather than the contentious soda style bottle that sparked off this thread, which nobody has been able to find for sale anywhere.

As for the branding targeting children, since when could children either buy ejuice or persuade their parents to buy them some ejuice?

Your average 'corner shop' sells e-juice and the practice of selling cigarettes to children is still very common. They even open up the pack and sell singles. Anyone unscrupulous enough to do that would have no moral inhibition against selling juice to kids.

Sad, but true.

Kids are gonna smoke (I know I did). I suppose therefore, kids are gonna vape. But is a kid gonna accidently spend £15 on some Fantasi and then drink it which is what this thread was about?

Or if it is about the marketing, then I suppose we will end up with ejuice being sold in plain bottles, because there are a whole shitload of manufacturers out there that could be seen to be marketing to kids. Vampire Vape with its cartoon vampire for instance.

So are we singling out Fantasi because it could be accidentally drunk by a child, or is this now about all childish marketing? Nasty Juice, VV, any juice with pictures of fruit on the front and cartoon characters, strawberry custard, Donutboys, Pancake Man (looks like spongbob), juices that remind us of the sweets of our youth.. etc etc

Exactly my point. A website with a you must be over 18 to visit here type warning and Fantasi ejuice for £20 a pop in a TRPR compliant manner. How the feck is that marketed at kids?

Come on, if a kid sees something that says only enter of you're over eighteen, he's not going to say, "Oh dear, that's a shame" is he?

We know what we're here for, we don't need the packaging to look pretty, and if the industry doesn't behave more responsibly, the antis will have their way and it'll end up like fags with plain packaging hidden under the counter or in a cupboard.
