Hi everyone 
The time has come to introduce you to Gilbert! After a long period of testing and development, Gilbert has reached its beta stage. Therefore, we are now launching the public beta version. 
What is Gilbert?
Gilbert is Vaperina’s AI vape assistant, which we are developing to help vapers. Among many other things, it is capable of searching both Vaperina and Google, so it can effectively read, interpret, and immediately pass on articles, studies, or other pages written in any language from anywhere in the world. The possibilities are truly limited only by your imagination. 
You currently have the opportunity to chat with Gilbert via private message and in the chat.
But let’s look at a few examples:

Could you summarize what the second point is about?
The second point, which concerns the new standards from the Australian health authority (TGA), essentially informs that from March 1, 2025, only those vape products that comply with the new, tightened product standards may be imported or manufactured in Australia. This move aims to ensure the safer and more effective use of therapeutic vape kits, as well as to protect consumers. Under these stricter regulations, the quality and ingredients of the products will also be subject to inspection, thereby allowing for the management of various health concerns.

Reasons for the inaccessibility of e-cigarette webshops AI
Donat:
Why are e-cigarette webshops inaccessible?
The reason for the inaccessibility of e-cigarette webshops in Hungary can primarily be attributed to regulatory measures. Due to legislation and regulations regarding the sale of tobacco products, many webshops have been blocked in Hungary, meaning these sites are unavailable from Hungarian IP addresses.
The List of blocked tobacco-related websites also shows that many e-cigarette retailers’ websites are on the blacklist. These pages are generally associated with unlawful retail activity involving tobacco products, which the authorities are trying to prevent.
If you want to be sure, it is suggested to use a VPN service, but it is important to note that this does not make the order legal.
Donat:
Which shops are on the list?
There are many e-cigarette webshops on the list of blocked tobacco-related websites; here are a few examples:
Blocked sites are generally involved in activities related to illegality, which is why they cannot be accessed from a Hungarian IP address. For more details and to view the full list, visit the List of blocked tobacco-related websites.
Donat:
I understand, and what is a VPN, how do I set it up, and what is the easiest way to do it?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that allows you to create a secure connection over the internet. Basically, it encrypts your internet connections and sends them through another server, thus hiding your real IP address, and allowing you to access websites that may have been blocked in your own region.
The simplest setup steps:
-
Choose a VPN provider:
- There are plenty of VPN providers. Some popular and reliable examples: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost.
-
Registration:
- Create an account with your chosen service. This is usually a simple process where you need to provide your email address and a password of your choice.
-
Download the application:
- Download and install the VPN application on your computer or smart device (most VPN providers also offer mobile applications).
-
Log in:
- Open the application and log in with your account.
-
Connect to a server:
- Select a server in the desired country (for example, another EU state), then connect to it. This will mask your real location.
-
Access websites:
- Now try to access the websites you want, by trying to reach the e-cigarette webshops again.
Important warning:
Although a VPN can help you access websites, ordering still does not become legal. Always inform yourself about local laws before use, and be careful when shopping online!
Mixing E-liquid: Composition and Nicotine Calculation AI
Donat:
What composition of e-liquid will I get if I mix 20ml of 3mg 50/50, 35ml of 6mg 70/30, and 4ml of 12mg 50/50 e-liquid?
To determine the composition of the e-liquid, we first need to consider a few things, such as the total volume, nicotine content, and the PG/VG ratio.
-
Total Volume:
- 20 ml (3 mg) + 35 ml (6 mg) + 4 ml (12 mg) = 59 ml
-
Nicotine Content:
- 20 ml x 3 mg = 60 mg nicotine (3 mg/ml)
- 35 ml x 6 mg = 210 mg nicotine (6 mg/ml)
- 4 ml x 12 mg = 48 mg nicotine (12 mg/ml)
Total Nicotine: 60 mg + 210 mg + 48 mg = 318 mg nicotine
-
Nicotine Concentration expressed over total volume:
- 318 mg / 59 ml = 5.39 mg/ml
-
PG/VG Ratio:
- 20 ml 50/50: 10 ml PG, 10 ml VG
- 35 ml 70/30: 24.5 ml PG, 10.5 ml VG
- 4 ml 50/50: 2 ml PG, 2 ml VG
Total PG and VG:
- Total PG: 10 ml + 24.5 ml + 2 ml = 36.5 ml
- Total VG: 10 ml + 10.5 ml + 2 ml = 22.5 ml
Result: 36.5 ml PG / (36.5 ml + 22.5 ml) = 36.5 / 59 = 61.86% PG
Result: 22.5 ml VG / (36.5 ml + 22.5 ml) = 22.5 / 59 = 38.14% VG
Summary:
- New e-liquid volume: 59 ml
- Nicotine content: 5.39 mg/ml
- PG/VG ratio: approximately 62% PG and 38% VG
If you have any further questions, I’ll be happy to help!
Maybe we can ask it to introduce itself a bit:
Gilbert's Introduction to the Vaperina Community AI
Donat:
Hi Gilbert I am about to officially announce you, so I would like you to introduce yourself to the Vaperina Community in a few sentences. Please tell us who you are, why you are here, and what kind of things you can help us with.
Hello everyone!
I am Gilbert, the community’s official vape research assistant. I am here to help you with any questions related to electronic cigarettes and the world of vaping. Whether it’s about the latest products, usage tips, ingredients, or the safety of vaping, I am here to provide information and support you.
My goal is to provide accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information so you can make informed decisions regarding your vaping. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Donat:
And why exactly Gilbert? Do you know anything about that?
Yes, of course! I was named after Herbert A. Gilbert, who was one of the pioneers of the electronic cigarette. In the 1960s, Herbert A. Gilbert patented the first device similar to an e-cigarette, which he called a “smokeless, non-tobacco cigarette.” His work laid the foundation for the development of electronic cigarettes, so my name pays tribute to his innovative contribution to the world of vaping.
That is why the name Gilbert was chosen for me, to remind everyone of this important historical background and the evolution of the vape community.
