So I gather they still want people to buy 10ml bottles and not do the environment any good but allow that instead of disposables.

Is that a typo for £1,£2,£3 for each 10 ml bottle

If there is no tax on concentrates, there's no change in longfill prices..... unless of course we get bent over

That's just the cost per 10ml.

No, not a typo. A 100ml shortfil will have a tax of £10 levied, plus VAT, so an additional £12.

 

[P2PLeon]

If it was just a flat £1 for any size liquid I could live with that, but £25 for 100ml juice.

No thank you.

that is more tax than cigarettes.

You've still got however many nic shots at full tax rate...
.. and I can't see how longfills would be sold as fish food, so expect many/most flavours to be banned, and longfill only allowed with 10ml of flavouring (which would be taxed at zero nic rate)...
.. or something like that - they look fucked.

Surely shortfills will be banned by then...

The price of a longfill is without nic, but I take your point...pg/vg/concentrate flavours should be an easy workaround as used for many other purposes.
