Vaping To Be Taxed

[Rickster]

The options do seem to be diminishing.

Indeed, this will hit the juice makers big time as folks cut back and switch to more affordable brands

I really do hope it doesnt come to that. Am disappointed the petition hasn't gained more interest.

Yep, sadly it seems to have plateaued. The only good news is at over 37k it's well ahead of the petition to ban all flavoured vapes at 2.5k.

Hopefully as more and more people become aware of what's going on it will gain traction. I guess the telling time will be when the government release the public consultation on the flavour ban. I really hope its worded better than the last one on the disposable ban.

The tax will be announced next week in the budget, so we will quickly find that bit out, petitioning and writing to your MP and all that isn't everyone's cup of tea...it is what it is

I might try to switch to MTL if the tax is high. You fair batter through the juice DTL/RDTL vaping.

Not that it was my primary intention (HID kicking off when I filled the place was), but switching to MTL when at home was a major surprise to me (I started my vape journey RDTL). Satisfying, flavoursome and ferkin cheap re juice, with the added bonus that I didn't stick to everything I touched.......and the saving(Us Capricorns do like a saving)

Not an advice but what I would do (if I hadn't already) is stock up highly concentrated Nicotine from abroad in the freezer, while customs import checks are still lax enough. A few hundred quid's worth can probably last for a life time (obviously better to not order the whole lot in one batch).

This week's budget in Ireland. 50 cents per ml of any e liquid is on it's way. So a 100ml bottle of liquid will incur a tax of 50 euro. WTF. Meanwhile, 20 cancer sticks will cost an average of around 18 euro. Still mad money but if I wasn't mixing my own I'd be back on the coffin nails.

Aye making your own is the way to go. I vape MTL, have done for years now. I buy a few litres of VG, PG and 72mg nicotine. They will last me about 8 months at a time. All I have to buy in between is liquid concentrates, mainly NET for me now, but a 30ml bottle of concentrate will get you about 100ml of liquid, for a fraction of the cost
