Last of the big tanks and more news

 

The TPD is due to go live this Friday 20th May and due to the new e-cigarette advertising restrictions we may be unable to send email newsletters. In future, we advise you to keep a close eye on our Coming Soon and Just Arrived pages regularly to see what's new.


This week, we launched our last ever tanks over 2ml in size. There can be no more new large tanks released legally within the EU after Friday 20th May 2016. Any tank released after this Friday must be fully compliant with all the provisions within the TPD and must be fully tested and notified to the MHRA before being placed on sale (although the notification system isn't even live yet).
 

Kayfun Five

SvoeMesto Kayfun Five

We were thrilled to bring you the SvoeMesto Kayfun Five - the first batch we put on sale sold out in 6 minutes, and later the same afternoon the second batch sold out in 3 minutes. We're really sorry to all those who missed out, it was an EU-only launch and there was a limited quantity to go around. Svoemesto would normally build up a much larger stock before commencing sales, but obviously had to launch before 20th May because of the capacity of the tank is simply too large to be compliant with the ridiculous 2ml max tank size restrictions in the TPD.

We advise you to subscribe to the back in stock notifcation to hear when the next batch arrives. More stock expected early next week.


Kanger ProTank 4

We were also happy to launch the new Kanger Protank 4 this week. It's such a change, and an improvement from previous Protank series atomisers, that we're surprised they chose to call it a Protank. Designed primarily for direct lung vapers, it accepts the same SSOCC as the popular Toptank and also features a new dual coil velocity style RBA head that is a top performer for this type of tank.

We will continue to stock these, and all other non-compliant products for as long as we possibly can up to the end of the sell-through period next year. Bear in mind though, when they go out of stock after November 20th, they will not be replenished.


Crème de Vape Classic e-liquid 10ml

We've also launched some new tasty flavours in our own Creme de Vape Classic e-liquid - and added a 6mg/ml option for all flavours. All these additions are only available in the 10ml size (the new TPD maximim bottle size).



Twelve Monkeys Triumph 

We're also launching the new Twelve Monkeys "Triumph" range of 3 new flavours this week. Be sure to try them all because we really love these three new flavours. Each has a taste that's totally unique and yummy.


TPD UPDATE

Moving forward, there now follows a time period where there will be a reduction in the amount of new tanks and e-liquid coming onto the EU market, both due to the physical restrictions, and due to the testing and notification requirements.

We can only continue to import existing (on sale before Friday) non-compliant products until November, and sell them until May 20th next year, but many of the products currently available will go out of stock and not be replenished before then. We won’t replenish products unless we believe we can sell all or most of the replenishment before May 20th 2017.

For products that are already on the market (launched before this Friday), and are technically compliant, the situation is still unsure because most manufacturers have not yet performed all the testing required to make their product notifications. It will only be over the next few months that we can know which tanks and liquids we'll be able to sell after May 20th next year. We are in discussions with all our major manufacturers about their compliance efforts, and although much is up in the air, we expect the majority of the larger manufacturers will be able to comply with all the testing and notification requirements for existing compliant products by the cutoff date of 20th November.

For more details of what the TPD restrictions are, please see our other blog post here: The future of vaping changes in May 2016

Mods and battery devices sold on their own fall outside the regulations, so we can expect to see innovation and new product developments continue unfettered in this area.

Again, a reminder, due to the new e-cigarette advertising restrictions we may be unable to send email newsletters. In future, we advise you to keep a close eye on our Coming Soon and Just Arrived pages regularly to see what's new.

You can write to your local MP using this website: https://www.writetothem.com/  Please be polite and explain why you feel the TPD will impact your choices for vapour products, and how e-cigs have changed your life. You need to be sure to urge your MP to support the "Early Day Motion 1441"
