Newbie from US

[philabos]

Hi all
New to vaping and will be in the UK in November. Thought I would keep up with events.
The forum seems quite more active compared to most here.
Anything I should know about rules for vaping in public?
My first time traveling with my gear. I know the EU has a two ML limit but assume ok to bring larger for personal use.
Thanks.

Hi There @philabos and "Welcome Aboard!"
I suspect that you'll find the UK rather different to the USA in as much that despite TPD we still have a relaxed attitude towards vaping. As long as the kit you bring with you is only for personal use, you'll be fine. The 2ml Tanks apply to new items only.

Welcome! Hope you have a good time in the UK, November is a good time to come, it should be guaranteed sunshine.

Hi and welcome.
You can vape in most public areas but fogging places out does attract in wanted attention.

hi from all of us here in .... and the rest of the and big to the planet there are no rules that you cant use larger tanks in the uk you just cant buy them in any of vape shops then saying that i bet tanks are much more cheaper in the us than in the uk one other thing about here is you can only get your e juice in 10ml bottles in the shops but can buy as many as you like any way i will let get on hope you have a good stay here.........

Hi @philabos and welcome to the forum. Looks like the important information regarding your visit to the UK has already been covered, only thing I would be curious about is where exactly you will be during your visit as that way we can try and recommend some shops that you may want to visit.


FYI... if you haven't seen the banner at the top of every page... we are currently doing a charity raffle for the East Anglia Children's Hospice which I'm sure you would agree is a totally worthwhile and deserving cause and will make great use of any donations received.... details on how to enter and the prizes on offer are available through the links on the banner itself.

Closes on the 29th of September at 10pm and the draw will then take place on the 30th. Good luck if you decide to enter.

Thank you for the warm welcome all.
We will be staying in Windsor as we have before. Much more reasonable lodging and a quick train ride to London. We also found a pub there we really like.
I was unaware of the 10ml restriction. What is the purpose of that rule?

Hey there welcome.
10 ml restriction is dumb really. You could buy 100 10 ml bottles or realistically you can still buy flavour and straight nicotine to mix it with in most vape shops.

What is the purpose of that rule?

It's to annoy the peasants.
