You have examples of this phenomenon then Jazzi?

I have been using my Vaporisers for almost a year now and I do not use nicotine at all as I go for zero nicotine e-liquids.

I used it today - 1st time for 5 days - and I enjoy it but do not actually need it.

I find it is quite pleasant but it is not harmful to me now and, because I do behave responsibly, it is no more harmful to anyone else than plug-ins for scented house fragrances.

Perhaps someone will now say that they are also dangerous and we are forcing our nasty, unwanted habit of making our homes smell nice on others without their permission - naughy-naughty! stevmk2

Re: Fake Fags

I think Jazzi is right Steve I have read many articles about how they have caused fires or burned people. They are not all safe and like anything that heats if used badly can cause problems.

Re: Fake Fags

Are they the only chargers to have problems?
What about mobiles? Or any other product needing a charger.

I can remember thousands of dodgy battery packs in laptops years back and I can't recall anyone suggesting banning laptops.

They are safe Julie - its the owners that can't be bothered to use the proper charger for them - there are warnings that you have to use the correct charger ...........

Which is exactly what I already said, so I agree Julie. Too many things have been created for us over the years, only to announce years later, it was a mistake. No doubt some even thought fags were safe once upon a time.

Bet you can't call them that now.


Wonder what the 'politically correct' name would have to be nowadays? Non-white Jacks?

True - but compare the two and one does not have all the chemicals in that the other has .................For that reason - one is safer than the other ..........

Do I remember Nougat? will I ever forget it. I think about the times my brother and me used to get a bar of it each from an old Aunt every Saturday night when she came to visit, she knew what she was doing, there wouldn’t be a word out of the pair of us all night and she could get on with her yapping in peace.
I get a vision of an Elephant trying desperately to pull his front feet out of thick sticky mud after having his fill at an African watering hole, I wonder why do I see that every time I think of Nougat.
