Vape Tax.. we all knew it was coming

[SirLugg]

so if you buy pg and vg from a chemical wholesaler, and flavour concentrates from a cupcake or kitchen essence business then all is well, aye?

Fairly convinced this is how almost every juice maker started out anyhow when there were zero vaping specific suppliers about.

No one knows for sure until they publish the final details of what the rules will be and once all the lawyers have all gone over them looking for all the loopholes and workarounds. Got to let the lawyers all get their wedge first.

Im 95% certain (pun intended), the whole lot will be scrapped and re-written by Labour.

Well considering the tories have got less chance of winning the next election than Bojo has of learning how to use a hair brush, I think you might be right.

It's the first time since I started vaping (in 2012) that I've considered quitting vaping, but I'd end up back on the fags full time , esp. considering that like a tosser recently I've been smoking when I drink and socialise, I'd have to go teetotal as well. I'm being serious btw - on both counts. So lets see, no sex, no vaping, no booze, what's the fucking point in being alive, I hate this country, never used to.

Sell by dates on a lot of "non-fresh foods" like, for example, salt, honey or water are there because the packaging has a shelf life rather than the product.

At the beginning of DIY (early 2009 I think), Totally Wicked did a range of food flavourings "suitable for vaping", but it seemed fairly amateurish by today's standards, and not a massive range.

Word soon got out that the best option was to import from FlavourArt in Italy (as food flavourings), before John developed FlavourArt UK.

I seem to recall Decadent Vapours and Hangsen did ranges of flavourings fairly early on as well.

Put this in the context that e-liquid to add to e-cigs was only available at some point in 2008 (before then it was pre-filled cartridges only, that did not last long, and had wicking issues).

so you think people who like baking will have to pay the tax?

I've no idea what flavours people who bake use. I very much doubt a 30ml bottle of tobacco concentrate is going to be viewed as a food flavouring though.

You'd be surprised what flavours get used in cooking/drinks.

Back in 2014 when I first tried DIYing the only option I knew about which everyone online raved about was Liberty Flights so I bought a couple of flavours and a bottle of base liquid from them but the base liquid was absolutely rank and it put me off DIY for years.

Fortunately, by the time I tried again in 2019 I got some bases from Vapable and Chefs to see if either of them were any better and they were both fine and I've never looked back since.
