This has only happened about 3 times and not often. I have got a Elf X pod device which sometimes randomly lights up, as in the colours that show when you take a drag. When its just layed somewhere and im not even near it. Anyone know why this could be?

So in the beginning of having this Pod it's been great. A couple of weeks later, after filling my pod and priming it, the vape smoke seems very weak and thin instead of thick smoke. What could be the reason?

OXVA XLIM Pro, 0.6 coil, 20mg 50/50 MaryLiq. Trying to keep under 15w, but getting no flavour from it at all. Do I need to go up to a 0.8 or a 1.2? Do I need to up the wattage?

My Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini is spitting hot liquid out of the mouthpiece whenever I toke it. Theres no excess liquid anywhere inside the ecig and theres enough liquid in the pod. Is this game over or is there a fix.

Hi, I accidentally in a drunken state squeezed elux liquid into my vapresso xros 4 minis centre hole which I believe is the coil. Is this game over and do I need a new pod or is there any way to fix this. Help asap

Hey, pretty new to vaping and currently using the disposable Gold Bars 2% in Lemon Ice. Aware of the horrendous impact on the environment and of course the upcoming ban so now looking to switch to something reusable. Any recommendations for a novice? Tried a few different flavours and definitely prefer the Lemon Ice to everything else so any recs for a similar liquid would be ideal too. Thanks!

I'm not a classy guy and I don't have a sophisticated palette so I buy the cheap stuff when it comes to eliquids . I typically spend 1 quid per 10ml (18 mg) from a discount shop (bit like Poundland).

Are they really going to end up being over 3 quid a bottle?

Thanks to anyone answers, particularly anyone who tells me I'm a simpleton who's misunderstood things and I'm actually worrying about nothing really.

Looking at sites like everythingliquid, they sell e.g. 1 litres of 100% PG and 100% VG 7.2% nicotine

So if you're making your own stuff, can you just mix two of these together into 50/50 and then add a flavouring if you are fine with the 7.2%?

Or am I missing something here

I can't believe that they are doing this . £2.20 for every 10ml is insane especially for DL users or higher wattage users especially rba's l. Personally I think it will cause a black market and people to buy higher mg nicotine liquid than they need because it work out at a better price. But then we will just end up with loads of people getting hooked more.

We need to think of some ways around this I was thinking diy as I do some of that already but will this tax affect concentrate surely not right? If anyone else has ideas of how to get around this crazy tax please comment it down below for others to see

I don't think I'm allowed to post the link here, but Vape Superstore have published a blog post explaining the new vape tax. I'm sure you'll be able to find it easily enough if you want to read it yourself but I'll post a summary of the changes below:

How much is the UK vape tax going up?

The new vape duty will be introduced on 1st October 2026, and introduces a charge of £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid. This seems to scrap their previous plan to tax vape juice based on nicotine content and focuses soley on the volume of liquid instead. This means that even zero nicotine e-liquid will be affected by the new duty increase.

All 10ml vape liquids will increase by £2.20. This doubles the average cost of a 10ml vape juice to over £5 per bottle.

A 100ml shortfill will increase by £22 and a 50ml shortfill by £11.

On top of that shortfill users will have to pay an additional £2.20 extra for each of their nic shots.

The implication of this is that a 100ml shortfill with nic shots could now cost over £40 per bottle.

Initially the duty was going to be based on the nicotine content, but respondents to the goverments industry consultation, were worried that vapers may try to save money by choosing a lower nicotine content than meets their needs. This could risk them returning to smoking when their cravings were not satisfied. So instead, the government decided that ALL e-liquids will be taxed the same flat rate of £2.20 per 10ml volume.

Fucking mental. Shortfill users are going to be paying the duty on their 0% liquid and then again on every nic shot.

Edit: Here is official government document on the Vaping Duty.

2.33 All vaping products will be within the scope of the duty including those produced at home from base ingredients, such as propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavourings and nicotine.

Looks like flavour concentrations and raw PG/VG could be subject to the duty too.

Hi all,

How do you wick your reload 26mm RTA. I've used 2 3mm Dia Ni aliens, and cut the leg length at 6.5mm.

I use a steam crave supreme v3 and the flavor in there was really good. I'm missing good flavor in reload 26mm. From what I've read, reload 26mm is one of the top on flavor.

Has anyone have experience with reload 24mm original and 26mm. How do they compare with each other purely in terms of flavor.

Just got a brand new Xros 4 and it immediately tasted burnt. Help?

£2.20 per 10ml. Guarantee you this will push people who don't bother doing the maths towards the new "pretend reusable" sector.

Hi all,

I used to smoke the Riot Punx liquid for a long time with an old ecig, once I switched over to another, the coils just tasted dry constantly and there were no flavour.

I’ve now got myself an Xros 4 after owning the 3 and I was wondering if anyone uses the Punx liquid with any of the Xros kits?

If so, which coils do you use? And does it actually taste like liquid rather than just dryness?

Thanks in advance.

I am actively using my L200 classic and E100 on a daily basis. Does anyone here use 100w and above coils on them at all? How is it?

Hi all, used to vape a few years back had a smok setup, can’t remember exactly what it was but I think it went up to 220w.

Packed it in for around 3-4 years but been back on the disposables and want to move back to a mod and juice setup.

Always ran at around 30-40w previously but would prefer a bigger mod for the battery life.

Taking into account coil prices, I think my old one lasted around a week and I used around 5ml a day on juice. But want to ensure I’m going with a modern vape and not sticking with a brand which nobody uses anymore..

Thanks in advance,

Few years ago I had the Solo+ Grape energy disposable vape. It's the best Grape flavour o ever tasted and never could find something that could match a similar taste. Does anyone know what flavour that is? They have discontinued now

As above. Been using the Innokin Endurance T22 for the last 18 months as MTL. I vape 20mg 50-50 bar salts.

Looking for a similar vape, I've had too many counterfeit coils and it leaks at the drop of a hat, but love the battery life on it. I know it should probably be low wattage and up to about 1.5ohms but I get too deep into reading reviews and can never decide. Budget is up to £40, needs to be a bit durable - I'm very clumsy and drop it constantly.l, so I also like a bigger/heavier mod. I don't want to bother with wattage settings/modes etc

Side note on the T22: I got a new tank like six months in that arrived smashed so stuck with the original one with all the paint/colour worn off, while it leaks like hell it somehow hasnt cracked or smashed despite being dropped multiple times a day

hi all,

i bought a aeq 2.0 device in june, replacing my old aeq 2.0 that i got in the march of 2023- my issue is that when i take a draw from the device, nothing is coming out. its just flashing blue or green, as if ive just put the pod in, and when i can get a draw from it theres barely any vapor and my device is making a weird buzzing sound.

ive cleaned the device, switched pods and everything but its just air coming out- which is really frustrating me!!

ive been buying from vpz since i started vaping, but ive noticed that their devices dont really have a good lifespan :(

can there be anything done to fix it? if not, does anyone have any vape recommendations- preferably with a similar pod system?

side question- my friend uses a voopoo device (unsure of the specifics, sorry!!), and this is super silly so forgive me, if i were to switch to that device could i still use the s-elf juice liquid?

thank you all in advance! :)

Hi all,

My reload 26mm top airflow ring is stuck and it won't budget. I've tried the freezer method, warns water, lubing with vg and none worked. Any advice on how to get the air flow ring to move?
