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.

Someone said it's an easy thing to get and "flavourful". There's plenty of cheap expensive vapes... I've seen coworkers with £250 on the unit itself and they have to clean it and replace coils? I can understand someone wanting a care free alternative" that works".

Not for me, just answering your question based on what I was told.

My rig cost me $50, a month's worth of juice and coils is $40.

I see the big expensive rigs and I don't want to spend that much on something I'm hoping to use for a couple years, max. Plus if I lose it I'm out a ton.

Where do you live? I'm in Canada and the government is making it super expensive to vape here it sucks.
