General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

As someone who is using a nicotine vape to wean off of nicotine, I still don't understand why people buy disposable ones.

It's less cost-effective, less customizable, and more sketchy.

Personally I think they're useful for one thing and one thing only, a gig/night out. When you don't want to have some kind of battery pack to recharge your vape so you have a couple disposables in your pocket, and if you lose it, shrug, it cost a couple quid.

That said, I back this ban wholeheartedly

Agree, I make my own liquid/coils/wicks and it doesn't come to more than 20 quid a month

Are you able to order nicotine?

[–] 3w0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, can get it off ebay or reputable sites no problem. The caveat is that silly law where everything has to be in 10ml bottles...
