This is bad news all round, not wanting to sound too alarmist, but I hope none of this finds its way into the ' wrong hands', and we end up with some space cadet kid in A&E after drinking a bottle of E-liquid, the ANTZ would have a field day with that one if it made the media.

It doesn't sound alarmist smudger1956 - but it's already in the wrong hands - the thieving b'stards. If someone ends up in A&E after drinking a bottle of e-juice, one must simply look at it as "Darwin's Way". Maybe not so much if it's a child, of course.

The "anti" argument about the toxicity of e-liquid just doesn't stand up to scrutiny or common sense - so many things are sold as everyday items which can easily cause death and they remain on general sale. If someone is stupid enough to drink a substance from a childproof bottle bearing all the necessary warnings and symbols against doing so - what more can be done? I've seen a couple of cases where people have drunk bleach and died, and I've seen so many fatal paracetamol overdoses that I couldn't begin to give a total number over the past twenty-odd years. I've also seen very many fatal hangings. Bleach, paracetamol and rope all remain on sale because the majority of those using them follow the instructions or use it for it's generally accepted application and remain safe. I've never seen a single fatal nicotine overdose, but I've seen very many deaths directly due to acute alcohol toxicity. Drug and alcohol deaths are seldom reported in the media.

Please don't think I'm having a go - just trying to reassure and of course, these are just my thoughts! :2thumbsup:

Not at all Dexter, I was having one of these worst case scenarios of a ill-informed Tobacco Directive Eurocrap talking it up big in Brussels.
 
This is absolute bollox, someone does there best to make a living in tough times. Has the sense to find a good opening in a crowded retail market and then this.

I hope they have insurance to cover most losses but, it still isn't nice. I hope whoever did it finds a nice off duty copper who has recently started vaping in a pub to sell to and they get duly screwed.
 
I hope any of the scumbag types try to rob my shop...as an ex-serviceman I would have no gripes in giving them a little bit of corrective training!

Totally agree. The softly softly attitude is killing this country. If someone broke in to my home while I was present they would need an Ambulance at best to take them away. If guns were legal I'd just shoot the worthless piece of shit...

what the arseholes who nicked the stuff probably wouldn't expect is that instead of shifting it and making a few quid to us bargain-hungry consumers, is that the vast majority of vapers would call the police and fuck them over! I know I wouldn't hesitate.

The vaping community seems to be pretty tight knit and although there's been some issues and tissues regarding TW, someone on one of the forums is surely going to come across this gear ?
