What's new

Did u get this email from Crème de Vape

Just a thought that occurred to me...

By making proof of age such a big deal hasn't the government made vaping a lot more appealing to youngsters? It is now the forbidden fruit to some extent, and now requires sworn identity statements and ejaculate/swab samples for DNA testing. What self respecting teenager isn't going to rise to that challenge?

I always think of "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. I had a copy, and so did every other kid I knew. No wonder it went to number 1. It was the forbidden fruit.
 
Oh dear, how will people cope if the tpd challenge fails? Headless chickens come to mind.

The vendors are not at fault, however, due to the crazy markups on some eliquid, I have little sympathy. Those using an automated checking system will pass the checking fee onto the end user, whilst the others requesting scans of documents will fall foul of the data protection act.

If you don't want to participate in what the vendors are doing, either vote with your feet and use someone else, go instore, or source from the EU.
 
Tick an age verification box, no probs.

Its starts getting trickier for me from there onwards.
Not a UK resident.
Not on the electoral roll.
No UK bank account.
No UK credit.

Its overkill for sure.
I have an authorised Paypal account, Ive proved my age/identity there and thats as far as I will go.

I certainly wont get all shouty about it, just move on........Next!
 
I have a photo driving licence, a scanner and will reluctantly take the appropriate hammering by THE MAN while muttering abuse. I feel sorry for those without modern scanning facilities to hand.

When will over-18 stuff stop being chucked out willy-nilly by Google to all and sundry? I feel sorry for the two year olds.
 
Through the wonders of modern technology we now bring you two threads about an email for the price of one. Yes, that's two threads for the price of one.

How can we do it? Teh Internetz, that's how. We take one thread and then we add it to an almost identical thread to produce a single thread with the power of two - and that makes it almost three times better.

Some would say we do it for the love. Some would say the goodwill generated helps us sleep at night. But I did it because I fancied getting rid of having to check in two places whether someone was being a dick.

Enjoy. Live like there's no tomorrow. Because there isn't, we die today.

Cough cough ... Three threads as of this morning

Clean underpants are only required if there are paramedics at the end.

Half six - but I'm fuzzy on which time zone.
 
Well done that ape!

I got the email today, I've been buying from them since 2012 so maybe it's not an issue. I'm listed as Default Customer Group and just had to add my date of birth under manage personal data.

If I have to supply ID at creme de cloud 9 or anywhere else I think a scanned and censored version of my paper driving licence would do it. I'm one of those rare folks who doesn't actually have a photo ID drivers licence, I'm holding off as long as possible.

I am also one of those rare folk! I don't see why I need a photo ID licence as my paper one works perfectly well -and I can hire a car with no hassle,which is difficult with the photo one.
