New rules on vaping are coming into force within weeks - and if you're a vaper you will need to be aware of these changes. The new Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 comes into force on Monday, May 20, and introduces a number of rules about the sale of e-cigarettes and e-liquids Ahead of the changes to the law, the Plymouth Herald spoke to the local Trading Standards who want to make sure that all local manufacturers and retailers are aware of the changes. Those changes include: - All e-cigarettes and e-liquids must be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency before they can be sold - Refillable tanks for e-cigarettes must be no bigger than 2ml capacity - E-liquids cannot be sold in quantities greater than 10ml - Unless registered as a medicine the strength of nicotine in an E-liquid must not exceed 20mg/ml - The packaging of E-liquids must be child-resistant and tamper evident - Certain additives such as the stimulants caffeine and taurine or colourings are banned - New labelling requirements Anyone who does not comply could face imprisonment of up to two years and/or an unlimited fine. These changes to the law apply to anyone who makes or sells e-cigarettes and e-liquids including those who sell online via social media, auction sites or from their own website. Trading Standards are particularly keen to get the message out to people who brew e-liquids at home to sell online as these are the most difficult business to reach. Trading Standards manager Alex Fry said: “We are finding that shops are aware of the changes to the law but small online retailers are not. With millions of buyers ready and waiting, there’s no better place for you to sell than eBay. “We have found online sellers selling e-liquids in 100ml bottles with a nicotine strength over 20mg/ml. After 20 May this will be illegal unless the e-liquid is registered as a medicine.” |

It's flawed before it even starts, shops will be selling 100ml bottles of concentrate with a nicotine shot. That's how easy it is to get round. Millions has been spent on the TPD for sweet f*ck all. Another failed EU regulation. |

As long as I can still get the nicotine concentrate from somewhere I'm happy. The rest of the ingredients are un-restricted and not specific to vaping. But if I can't buy 1x100ml bottle of eliquid would I be able to buy 10x10ml bottles ?   Is it the amount in each bottle that's restricted or the total amount being sold/ordered ?
