Vape tax from 1 June 2023 !

[stevie g]

You guys are overlooking British American Tobaccos role here.

Their Vuse pods only contain 1.2ml of eLiquid therefore the Vape tax will be minimal on their products and they seem high priced already to absorb the price hike.

This isn't government this is big business greasing regulations to squash the small guy and swallow the market.

Hey what do I know though, I'm just a crazy conspiracy theorist

And just like that I do not sell vape juice anymore but nebulizer fluid (in various flavours)

I already have an order for some baber and carp pap mixes from a guy in saldanha

I walked past a vise store about a 30mins ago. I had a similar thought.
The disposable and disposable pod market wont be hit that hard due to the amount of liquid in the pods.
The rest of us is fKd.

Just a quick question to those in the know. Is there any possibility people are reading the tax regulations incorrectly. Is the tax not supposed to be per ml / mg of nicotine in the juice, not per ml of E-Liquid? Just a thought.

Everythingbive seen and read states ml. I might be wrong, but that what I read @Stew

When does 'not a tobacco product'



become 'a tobacco product'?

No @Stew. It's per ML of juice regardless of the concentrates, nicotine and PG and VG.

Thanks @Rob Fisher
Very sad. It's a horrendous amount for a heck of a lot of people.

It is a real issue... I give up on this government!

I'll leave this here: Testing a Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer as a Safer Alternative to Conventional E-Cigarettes

I'm as curious as can be with this, particularly so in that my testing with ultrasound transducers proved unsuccessful . The primary issue was the viscosity of PG and VG. check out https://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/weekend-projects.67730/post-900087 (posts 403 through 408).

@Rob Fisher My coffee juice has already arrived - I wouldn't say the order was massive, but it's enough for the rest of the year!

I've got a good year's worth in the cupboard at the moment...I'd get more but the wife would start complaining about having nowhere to put anything...

The folk at Purdue University used de-ionized water as the medium for their nicotine aerosol test.

Agreed on the distilled water. Read an article somewhere will see if I can find it.

Wonder why? Restocking at the new higher taxed price maybe?

 

[franshorn]

So I haven't been around here in a Loooong time.

Have since dropped DIY mixing, and moved from my Zeus and box mod to a Airscream Pro MTL on Airscream nic salts.

See online the 30ml Airscream 313 juice has gone up around 100 bucks.

In a nutshell, does the 100mg 100ml PG Nic I have just become worth its weight in gold?

Lol, fortunately not. DIY is excluded from the new vape tax, only manufactured ready to use juices.

Thought either that or they want to calculate the new price and change the date on the cardboard boxes
