The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is currently winding its way through Parliament, and has major implications for vapers. While the intention of the bill is to stop under-18s using electronic cigarettes, it could also mean that vaping becomes unpleasant and unattractive for millions of adult vapers.Unfortunately, most coverage of the bill has focused on the smoking elements. So here I’ll be.....
The new Innokin Trine is out, and with one colleague raving about it, I was keen to test it out - particularly as it features an innovative vape battery feature that makes it quite unique in the world of vape kits.

95% safer than smoking. That’s what Public Health England told us about vaping in a statement endorsed by numerous institutions and charities, from Lung Cancer Research to the NHS. Yet, buffered by misinformation and negative stories, many people think e-cigarettes are as bad or worse than smoking. To counter misperceptions, and to show that the legitimate vape industry can not.....
The much anticipated Vaporesso Xros Pro has just landed, bringing more advanced functionality to the popular Xros series. In fact, it seems to have been brought out as a direct competitor to Oxva’s popular Xlim Pro device. As you’ll see, both these pod kits have their strengths and weaknesses, so we’ve compared them side by side on everything from battery.....
The Vaporesso Xros 3 Mini is an impressive little vape, and one I frequently recommend to new vapers - both on the blog and when people ask me for personal advice on which device to use.

With their ease of use and great taste, disposable vape devices make an ideal no-fuss introduction for new vapers. But, despite their benefits, disposables do have their drawbacks - with longevity being a prominent issue.With just 2ml of e-liquid per device, regular disposables tend to last around a day before needing to be thrown away - which can result in.....
