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.

Maybe I've just been lucking out, but every concert venue I've been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it's fine and pass me through. You're right though, it would suck to have to toss it.

I don't agree with the "smaller" part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.

Definitely pure convenience and flavor.

Wife bought one (even though we have refillables) and damn if it doesn't taste really fucking good, hits perfectly without needing to fuck with it.

Still don't think we should make it a regular thing because it's so wasteful
