Vape Tax.. we all knew it was coming

More hyperbole, it's not like it doesn't deserve decimation...

i know, this lot look for any excuse to complain though. if you sent them 100 quid they’d find a reason, serial moaners

It's a broader picture.... a tax n possible further restrictions will see more mod/atty/juice vendors/makers n the like shut up shop...we tinkerers are by far in the minority in vape land so any closure will hit us.

lots of ways to sell things nowadays, don't worry everybody

I for one am looking forward to Digby's Essential Oils and Room Purifier Aromas... especially if you release that Strawberry Milkshake one

Maybe...

But things can change really fast when if it involves tax revenue, as (someone) mentioned earlier in this thread, it won't be just the lethargic trading standards policing things if tax revenue is threatened.

Until we know exactly what will being targeted for tax and exactly what the impact on retail pricing will be it's reasonable to worry.

What is more disturbing to me is the 'flavours' and 'shortfills' questions that were included in the recent survey, and the fact that there was no tick box option for no restrictions whatsoever. At the moment I'm not even remotely interested in mixing my own juice and don't want to be forced into DIY.

I hope it's that easy, but I doubt it....selling something that isn't something is prob illegal the now....christ we can't even discuss the 72 stuff on here, never mind pretend diffusers.

I make a point of not worrying about things that I have no control over and I tend to wait for bridges to be built before I try to cross them. All this angst and there isn`t even a draft proposal yet.

We are just shooting the breeze fella, discussing potential pitfalls of potential proposals

Agree with this
Im happy to make my own coils, got plenty of hardware (well, maybe I need a couple more mods ) but if theres a large hit on buying shorts or I cant get heavy nick, Id be flapping.
Plus what about those who no longer have the dexterity to make coils? You know, usually the older peeps who have already paid fortunes in smoking tax for years - now we have to pay for finding our own way of quitting because they need to fill their coffers from the lack of actual smokes?

There ARE restrictions in place to stop kids getting vapes. The packaging needs reigning in to be fair, maybe even plain but restricting flavours is bollocks

TS need to do their damn job properly.

I need to learn to mix dont I?
