***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

Kids will do whatever's in at the time, regardless of cost. This will achieve nothing progressive, but i'll give it to them it's an easy tax target. An increase in tax on vape by a small amount i'd except as reasonable. Though what this tax hike does do is contribute to the furthering dividing opinions on smoking and alienation of individuals.
 
So E-liquids are going to be taxed at a flat £2.20 rate this time next year, seems like a bone headed move to me.

I was kind of expecting some level of taxation as they had to find some way to replace the lost revenue from tobacco sales, i did however expect them to start small and increase it overtime. Not for them to go straight in with an almost 90% increase in price for what i typical buy.

I get the desire to prevent children and people who've never smoked from taking up vaping but damn, a 90% increase seems excessive when better regulation and enforcement was an option.
Thought it was per 10ml? Which is going to make a 100ml short fill mega expensive!

Frankly ridiculous.

Yup, i can't vouch for accuracy but this...
Says a 100ml short sill will go from £15 to £37, an increase of 137%. :eek:
 
Yes, i mix my own they expecting me to self declare :cry:
I think i may have to go down that route now also, typically i buy 10ml/20mg shots and dilute them to 20ml as it saves faffing around with measuring out flavours and nicotine.

If going full DIY will save what maybe upwards of £200-300 per year then the faff suddenly seems a lot more worth it.
 
. Trouble is, I started using her vape and have found myself slightly addicted again.

Go nicotine free!
Interested to see how it works

My guess was the 10ml bottles of nicotine will get the same treatment, like how higher concentrate went to wholesale only. It would make at least some sense if the "10ml bottle" tax was related to concentration but i have my doubts.

From what i read they proposed doing that and abandoned it due to the extra costs involved in verifying the nicotine content so they went down the one tax to rule them all route.
