My e-Cigarette Experiences…

Posts Tagged ‘affiliate’

I just received an update from e-cig.com (my main supplier for my e-cig supplies) and see that they now have an ABSURD number of flavours available, all in both Propylene Glycol or Vegetable Glycol based liquids.  There’s a lot of discussion around the benefits of VG over PG but the short version is that VG is natural while PG is synthetic, and we all know that natural is almost always better for us than synthetic.  But with more than 100 flavour choices, including a wide range of tobacco flavours, fruit and beverage flavours and more, there are over TWO THOUSAND possible combinations available for your e-cig cartridges! 

Hit the link on the sidebar to go to my affiliate site and see for yourself.  There’s nobody else offering the range of flavour and the incredible low prices that these folks offer, and I’m still very happy with the entire experience that I’ve had with the products, except of course for the early battery issues.  But every time I’ve had a problem they have been able to resolve it and keep my business.

Get off the smokes NOW and start Vaping to improve your health!  And do it with flavour!

I received last week a comment posted on this blog, as I have many times before, but this one seemed to be more interesting than many in the past.  In short, most of them are just spam from other people selling some other brand of e-cig, and I figure that there’s more than enough information out there about their products so I just junk the comments and move on.  But this one was different… Read the rest of this entry »

My primary supplier is e-cig.com (see the E9 kit image on the right for the link).  I’ve selected them for a wide range of reasons, including their innovation in the e-cig market.  Add in a solid delivery guarantee, product warranty, support and quality, and they are a top tier supplier for sure.

They have recently changed their site and added a couple of new features for their E9 series e-cig (and others) that you might like to look at.  First, you can now order any cartridges in either Propylene Glycol (PG) or Vegetable Glycol (VG) base.  The VG base is even healthier than the PG base as it is based on plant oils, not synthetic, and removes some of the concerns raised in using e-cigs.  I know that there is still testing needed to prove that there are any real benefits, but at least they offer the choice which is something I don’t yet see many other vendors offering.  Secondly, they now have a super-long cartomizer cartridge that offers more vapour and more puffs – 1600 puffs actually, making it the longest and strongest cartomizer style cartridge yet to be made.  I’ll be ordering some of the VG long cartridges shortly and see just how they perform in normal use.

Stay tuned!  I know I’m not the most prolific blogger in this area, but there hasn’t been much to write about lately!  I’m back to more e-cig than regular, and hoping to kick the tobacco once again completely this month.  And I’ll keep you posted on news and progress on order successes and failures as my new orders make their way to me.

Vape On!

e-Cig starter kits are getting cheaper all the time, and the price of supplies makes vaping an even more attractive option than it was just a year ago.  And, my latest batteries from e-cig.com are quite a bit better.  They don’t seem to cut out as quickly, and they provide a good hit that the older batteries didn’t seem to quite provide.  The changes are subtle, and would go completely un-noticed if you weren’t using the old ones and the new ones at the same time, but I can certainly tell there’s some differences.  I ended up with white ones this time, but I don’t actually mind it as much as I thought.

Also, it appears that e-cig have a US office now for returns and such, so it’s getting even easier to deal with them when things go wrong.  No more needing to ship failed batteries all the way to China.  I don’t know if they are shipping from the US office yet, but will certainly let you know as I learn more about them.

Otherwise, not really a lot to report.  I still use my E9, and I’m still happy with it.  I still vape more than smoke (although I DO still enjoy a small cigar at times) and I don’t really miss the taste, smell, or anything else about the old analog tobacco sticks.

Keep Vaping!  Live Well!  Save Money!  What more could you ask?

And remember to hit one of the links on my right sidebar to order your product.  It’s not a lot of money, but it allows me to build the budget up for trying new flavours, products and growing this blog.  And I will be growing it quite soon!  Stay tuned!

and for that my apologies.  Life and photography have been keeping me busy these days, and this blog has been sort of left alone for a while.  Add the fact that there’s been really very little to report.  My E9 is working, and the order that was returned by Customs is being refunded (slowly – but we’re getting there!), and life is overall pretty good at the moment.  I AM running out of supplies soon though, and I’m starting to look at other options for getting product into Canada that is more reliable, and less prone to Customs issues.  There are a couple of vendors north of the 49th, but I’ve still got to talk to them to see what possible issues, delays and other concerns may come up.  If you have any experience with any of the Canadian vendors, please don’t hesitate to comment or drop me a line.  I’d love to know others’ experiences.

Meanwhile, I hope that you are still vaping and not smoking!  And that you are ready for the nicer weather that is finally starting to show up…  at least in my part of the world.  Cheers to my global audience and thanks for the continued support.

So… it seems that there IS some sense in the world.  I won’t go into the details, but the story HERE tells the juicy details.  I know that the fight is FAR from over, and am watching closely to see what comes next.  And rest assured that as soon as I see something really news-worthy, I’ll be sharing it here for your review.  Meanwhile, it looks like those of you in the US will at least have it easier getting your e-cigs for the immediate future.  Now…  who’s working on Health Canada?!  Still, I am having no problems getting my personal supplies direct from e-cig.com, in fact my latest shipment is due today or Monday, and was just ordered last Friday.  Pretty good turn around still – and getting better.

Vape On!

Just a quick note to you, my readers, to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2010.  I hope that you will find some e-cigs in your stocking or tree, and that 2010 will be your year of a healthier, happier you as a result of making the move away from burning tobacco. 

Cheers and Thanks for reading and shopping.  I’ve actually JUST made it to my goal of one coupon for e-cig.com as a result of the orders placed through the links here, and will be using that coupon to replace some batteries, and stock up on some other flavours of cartomizer for my E9 system.

Happy Holidays!  See you in 2010!

It looks like the folks over at Blu have things running more smoothly, and for our American readers only are able to deliver a solid product at a great price.  So I’ve returned the Blu links to the right hand column for easy access and of course to make my tiny piece of the action when you place orders.  The money raised by this blog is used to test products that I write about, and to help with the cost sharing for the webspace.  If there is anything left after that, I am sure I’ll find a good use for it.  But so far…  I haven’t had to think about that part. 

But this evening I did have a funny thing happen.  The email announcement from Blu that reminded I was an affiliate still and also told me of their new system was delivered 87 times in a matter of seconds.  I don’t know if that was a glitch at their end, or just some karmic advisory that I needed to pay attention.   So I am answering the call and have re-activated my link.

So…  if you’re looking for option, I still recommend the E9 I use, especially if you live in Canada, and for those of you in the US, check out Blu!

Happy vaping all!

And Season’s Greeting!

Head over to e-cig.com for all things e-cig and check out their holiday specials!  Just a few things to make you think about making the shift over to e-cigs if you haven’t already:

• E9 start kit – just $49.95!
• E8 starter kit – just $53.95!
• Cartridges (Cartomizer style) – Just $5.45! per pack (4/PK for E9 or 5/PK for E8)
• Many other killer deals!

Head on over NOW to check it out and see what’s available.

and I’ll actually get a coupon from my supplier for some free products!  Yes, I admit (and have in the past) that I have an affiliate account with e-cig.com (see the E9 Package link to the right) and that I do make a small (and I mean SMALL!) commission off of your orders that go through that link.  I’ve been using and recommending their product for quite some time now and am finally at the point where I am about to reach the minimum payout level, at which point I will have the option of taking a coupon for their store to purchase more product for my own use.  If you’re curious as to the commission levels, it will take nearly $2,700 worth of sales for me to earn that $100 coupon.  But still, the opportunity to provide information related to the e-cigs that I use, and to my specific experiences with them, is a good thing that I am glad to be in a position to offer. 

I am still happy with my E9 for the most part, except for the battery situation which they have taken care of.  As I mentioned before, I won’t buy the blue tipped batteries again, as I have had a 100% failure rate with them while only one of the red tipped ones from my E8 kit failed.  From what I’ve read, batteries are about the highest point of failure in these devices, especially in the 2 part units like the E8 and E9.  In the 3 part units where the atomizer is separate from the cartridges, atomizers are the weaker link it seems.  While there are advantages to that system (dripping), I prefer the nice clean operation of the cartomizer type systems and will continue to use my E9 for a long time to come. 

My coupon will be used to get a case of some kind likely, and some more flavours to experiment with.  Of course, my flavour testing will also be posted here once I’ve tried a few more. So far, I’ve only tried the menthol and Flu-cured flavours, liking both of them at different times.  And a tip – you can order your cartomizers with different colours…  and it’s a good idea to do so.  I have gold wraps on my flu-cured, and black wraps on my menthol.  If I ordered a fruit flavour of some kind, I’ll likely go red for those.  This way, when I open the case to take one out I’ll know by the color rather than having to try to read the VERY small print on the package.

Happy Vaping!
