Very kind of you Peter
- Dont worry we are not going anywhere! - not by choice anyway!
I do have to say though that a handful of our peers have been trading much longer than we have and have developed juices when the industry was purely self regulated - constant new flavour releases were the name of the game - and I really do feel for some of the guys that helped us out when we first started that either have such a catalog the costs to take everything through are insurmountable, or simply have stubborn suppliers who wont release the IP!
We just have to remain vigilant as a group and safe-guard each other! Its a sad fact that in among the personal preference choices of flavour and price point, we will have to navigate the "rouge traders"
Only from having had massive in-depth discussions ( and recommendations on suppliers etc ) from the likes of
@manabush @South Coast Vaper @Dripworx and more recently
@Cotswold Vapour , have we managed to try and digest the full implications of the regulations, and how best to survive for each of us.
We all talk, we all try each others products, and we all have our own business models, and with a little bit of luck, we will all still be here this time next year, and for many years beyond that having ridden out this dark patch!
