Government Response to Consultation on Tobacco Products Directive (‘TPD’)

 

Background

The Government will be regulating the electronic cigarette industry under the Tobacco Products Directive, which will come into force in May 2016. These regulations will require e liquid and e cigarette suppliers and manufacturers to provide products in compliance with the Directive. The aim is to ensure that e cigarette products meet safety and marketing standards. For example you will no longer be able to buy e-liquids above a 20mg strength of nicotine from one year after the TPD is brought into force. A consultation took place with vaping shops, health professionals, regulatory officers and the public for their views on some questions asked by the Government. The Government’s questions and attendee answers related to electronic cigarettes are summarised below.

E Cigarettes to be Prescribed by the NHS

E Cigarettes to be Prescribed by the NHS

In 2015 the BBC news reported that electronic cigarettes are 95% safer than tobacco cigarettes http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33978603 The BBC also reported that GP’s were unable to prescribe them on the NHS at that time.

 

Since then in 2016, the UK medicines regulator, the MHRA, have issued a licence which enables electronic cigarettes to be prescribed by the NHS and marketed as a smoking cessation product. This will enable doctors to prescribe a brand of e cigarettes to smokers through the NHS, as reported in the Sunday Times http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/health/news/article4531500.ece

Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank – Review

The Aspire Atlantis Mega is a larger-sized sub-ohm tank, for those of you requiring a bigger vape from each puff of your vape, yet without having to refill so frequently. Like the rest of the Aspire Atlantis Series, it delivers great flavour and huge clouds, but its edge lies in its size and customised airflow.

What Are the Key Benefits of the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank?

  • Significantly increases the amount of vapour produced on each puff of your atomiser.
  • Less requirement to fill the tank due to its larger size.
  • Gives your vapour a smoother sensation for blowing large clouds.
  • Allows for extensive airflow control so you can fine-tune your vape.
  • Aspire is a great brand name being well established in producing electronic cigarette items.

What are the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank’s Stand Out Features?

  • Large tank – Its tank can hold 5 mL worth of e-liquid, so avid vapers can enjoy several rounds without a hitch. In comparison to Aspire Atlantis 2.0, the previous model, the Mega’s tank is the same length, but the diameter is wider at 30 mm.
  • Customised airflow – The Aspire Atlantis Mega has a grand total of 16 airflow holes in four settings: 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, and 3.5 mm. You can choose any combination of airflow holes, so you have significant freedom over your vaping experience, from making the clouds cooler to intensifying the flavour.
  • Drip tip – Made of stainless steel, its wide bore drip tip is equipped with a cooling mechanism. Vapour at high wattages can get uncomfortably hot, but the drip tip airflow control keeps this in check.

Who the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank Will Suit?

  • Vapers requiring the best taste for their e-liquids.
  • Vapers who want their electronic cigarette to produce a much larger amount of vapour from each puff.
  • Those who want to give themselves a stronger chance of enjoying their e-liquid and electronic cigarette.
  • Those who have tried and love certain e liquids which require a glass atomiser.

How is the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank Different from the Atlantis 2.0?

  • Size – The Aspire Atlantis Mega has a wider tank than the Atlantis V2, with a 5 mL e-liquid capacity rather than the older model’s 3 mL.
  • Airflow system – While Atlantis V2 only has two airflow settings, the Atlantis Mega has four, as well as a drip tip with adjustable airflow.
  • Coil size – The Atlantis Mega comes with 1.0 ohm and 0.3 ohm coils. The Atlantis V2 has 1.0 and 0.5 ohm coils instead.

What’s Included with the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank?

  • Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank
  • 1-ohm coil
  • 0.3 ohm coil

You can get strong flavour from the 1-ohm coil at 40-50 W, while the 0.3-ohm coil produces huge clouds at 70-75 W. Both of these coils are made of 100% organic cotton, resulting in a pure, clean flavour.

How Long Will the Aspire Atlantis Coils Last?

The coils inside the Aspire Atlantis Mega atomisers will eventually burn out, like all electronic cigarette coils. The frequency you will have to replace them depends on a variety of factors, and in particular how much you use your electronic cigarette. On a low setting a coil may last 1-2 weeks.

Which Coils Go in the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank?

Although the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank is equipped with 0.3 and 1.0 ohm coils by default, it’s also compatible with 0.5 ohm coils. Specifically, the Aspire Atlantis and Aspire Triton Replacement Atomiser Coils will both fit inside the Aspire Atlantis Mega tank. These coils can be bought on the following links.

Which Mod Battery Can I Use with the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank?

Because the Aspire Atlantis Mega is a sub ohm atomiser, it may not suit the majority of batteries. The Kangertech K Box Mod is designed just for those requiring a sub ohm atomiser such as the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank to ensure that you maximise your vape experience.

How to Use the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank

  1. Turn the tank upside down, then unscrew the base hardware.
  2. Fill the space between the metal tube and glass covering with e-liquid, but only up until the tip of the metal tube to avoid leaking.
  3. If you’re using a new replacement coil, wait for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Screw the base back on. Hook it up with a battery, and you’re done!

Conclusion

The Aspire Atlantis Mega Tank is an improvement over the Aspire Atlantis 2.0. It can hold more e-liquid because of its wider 5 mL tank, and the adjustable airflow is another special feature, with airflow holes at the base and drip tip.

Given so much flexibility with the airflow, you can fine-tune your vaping, experiencing different degrees of flavour, temperature, and vapour production using the same setup. Overall, it’s a great tank for sub-ohm vapers and cloud chasers, with lots of room to customise.
