UK Gov To Ban Disposables?

[ZT]

what legislation?

He means the legislation for trading standards to raid shops selling either illegal vapes or vapes to underage

i know people who have reported places for this and nothing has been done about it.

You read about the odd raid - but compared to whats reported its nothing.

i know one well known legitimate vendor who got a visit from TS saying he was stocking illegal vapes (which he wasnt) - he had been reported by the local corner shop (who was selling illegal vapes, because they didn't like the competition).

He then gave them evidence of illegality within that corner shop - and nothing was nor has still been done about it.

more back handers presumably.

the legislation is there to stop a lot of the cockwombling that happens around illegal vapes

i think vik is right as well - if the importers and distros of said illegal vapes are part of the trade associations … then WTF

No wonder they are not being listened too anymore.

furthermore - no matter what you feel about disposables and the comparative low cost making them attractive to the less fortunate. Once the distros and large retailers started making them the main drive rather than a stepping stone to a better product - this was blatantly always going to happen.
I said this back when they first appeared.

if head shops hadn’t all been closed down they’d be full of disposables. none of it is really a good look.

I dunno, Lost Mary giving head in a shop might have been worth a wee keek

a shop close to me has all manner of disposables, cartoon character eliquid and suchlike displayed in the window next to the bongs and king size skins and blunt tubes, window on the other side is crammed with cheap toys.

one of those tax dodge american sweet shops in the town centre had a neon “vapes” sign in the window.

Yeah, but you've got haggis and fried Mars bars, so it's no surprise that things are wild north of the border.

Is it actually a thing? I can’t eat one now even if I wanted to but surely it’d turn to volcanic chocolaty mush in a fryer?

Let me know what you think of it if you do. Personally, I don't really like battered stuff. Tend to pick it off before eating the fish from a chippy. And I'm pretty sure Mexicans don't use fish n chip style batter when frying ice cream.
