Over the years, we’ve done several experiments with unusual vape flavours. Very often we’ve done this for a bit of fun, but sometimes the results have surprised us. A good few years ago, for example, we went to a vape show with a small range of very unusual flavours. One of them was barbecue sauce […]
I have a little secret. First, understand that I get to try a lot of new vape devices. We constantly have new products passing through the office, and I get to try a lot of them. But, like a comfortable pair of shoes, I still find myself going back to the same products again and […]
Recently I spoke on a panel at the UKVIA forum to discuss Stop Smoking Services’ use of electronic cigarettes. In preparation for the panel, I spent some time talking to Stop Smoking Services (SSS), trying to understand the challenges they faced.

Update 12/08/19: The Vaping is Not Tobacco Campaign have provided this update: There have been slow signatures so far, but vapers should understand that if they do not take a stand, regulation will arrive. The problem could be the last WHO-report, in which no distinction is made between tobacco and e-cigarettes. Countries are regulating vaping […]
If you’re looking for a new vape starter kit, you could be forgiven for getting a bit confused by the myriad of options available. Still, that’s better than the situation a few short years ago.
