You should all know by now, that the VAPE TAX is coming in October.
Meaning ANYTHING manufactured from October 1st will be subject to £2.20 per 10ml for ANY liquid targeted for vaping (£2.64 with vat).
Now, there will be a 6 month sell through period, which is why we have been quiet of late, we are currently bottling like crazy, Nic Shots Galore, and abundance of Pixie Juice and all your favourites in-between.
We are trying our best to make sure your favourites last you as close to April 1st 2027 as we can, taking in to account you're going to want to stock up on some stuff more than others.
But after that date, or sooner if stocks run dry...
The Alchemist will be no more. After near on 14 years, There is simply NO way we can meet the requirements set out financially or legally to remain in the E-Liquid world. Even if we could, 1 - i don't think we would be big enough to be granted a licence, and 2 -.....
The final reading of The Tobacco and Vapes bill was passed this week, & is now awaiting sign off from the King. This changes the control they have massively.
Expect - Flavour Ingredient Restrictions - Plain Packaging - Flavour Name Restrictions - Flavour profile and pairing restrictions, all of which have been discussed at great length throughout the three readings.
It has been a good run, we have survived longer than most and been successful in what we have done, which is why we are not sad..... we are excited for our next venture.....
Because for us, moving forward, it is all about
The Flavour Club
This is our BRAND NEW WEBSITE, which we are currently gearing up, expect this to launch in July/August.
Here you will find ALL NEW FOOD products, that you might just recognise or be familiar with?!
We will delve in to finer details as it gets closer to launch, but for now - it wouldn't be a bad idea to bookmark and register your interest.
The one thing you WILL NOT find on there, is any Nicotine containing products or Vaping products such as long fills, bottle shots etc. Like we said, in time you may recognise some bits, but it will be a whole new way of life, so sign up now if this is of interest to you.
*Disclaimer - The Flavour Club is targeted towards to those customers of ours who currently use our services and products for the sole use of Culinary products.
