BUT…  Since I’ve been without a fixed address since September, getting shipments to where I was parked would have been nearly impossible and unreliable.  But now that I’m located here in Ontario and have a mailing address again, I can start to order and have product shipped. So it’s time to get some more cartridges, and perhaps try a few new combinations and I will be reporting my progress as it happens.  So stay tuned! Read back to the start of this journey and see where I’ve come from and where I’ve been, and you too may decide to try these amazing products. If you do…  please click on the links in my sidebar to the right.  The small amount of affiliate commissions I earn here help me to explore new products and keep this site alive.

Cheers to your health! Happy Vaping!

ORDER YOUR e-Cig TODAY And start 2011 breathing easier and heading down the path to Successfully putting an end to the control that big tobacco companies have on your life!

First on the list, a new product…  you can soon order an e-pack, which looks and functions like a cigarette pack for your e-cig, but includes some cool features.  Specially designed to hold a selection of cartomizers and a battery, the battery slot is actually connected to an internal rechargeable battery so your e-cig battery can charge right in the pack.  The entire pack of course can be connected to a USB charger to recharge the pack, but now you can carry everything just like you would a pack of cigarettes and recharge your batteries on the go to ensure that you have enough power and supplies on hand for a full day or two without having to find power.  Of course the battery life and supply of cartomizers will depend on how you use your e-cig.

Next on the list, a reminder that there are now choices with regards to the juice components.  PG based (Petroluem Glycol) juices are created through the use of animal or petroleum based oils, while VG (Vegetable Glycol) are created by blending only natural vegetable oils.  Further to the benefits of a more natural product, BOTH the PG and VG blends are assured to be hospital or food grade products ensuring your health is protected from possible contamination.  There’s a lot of information around the web already about the pros and cons of these choices, so do your homework for sure before making a selection, but I do know some people that have expressed concerns about animal oils in these products and they are very happy to know that they can now get VG blends.

Now, add to these features the fact that there are about 150 flavours, and most flavours are offered in strengths from 0 to xxxstrong!  That’s right, you can now select nicotine levies that range from 0mg all the way up to 48mg in 7 options.  This means you can get as much or as little nicotine in each cartomizer as you prefer, and if you’re a heavier smoker with a higher nicotine dependency, you can now actually get a cartomizer that doses at the same level or higher than a regular tobacco cigarette.  And with 7 choice, you can wean off your nicotine and still enjoy the flavour and habit of smoking without the chemicals over time.

And…   the batteries, e-pack and cartomizers all come in a range of colors to let you build a product that expresses your style as much as your desire to be healthier and free of tobacco.  I like the black products, and while you pay a slight premium for these, having the options are great.  Many other suppliers offer only black, or only white, and so on, so it’s rather cool to custom build your own product to suit your style.

Check out the product listings through the E9 kit link to the right and get your e-pack as soon as they are available!  It’s a great way to carry your product and protect it, while offering the most convenient use of your e-cig yet.

Cheers!

This time, it is written more like an introduction, and included contact information about a new manufacturer that is selling e-cigs in much the same manner as the company I use mostly right now (e-cig.com).  What this means is another site that is offering excellent products and pricing, and ships direct from manufacturing in China rather than through a multi-step (increasing costs) channel into the US first and then trying to get the product into Canada. 

Now, I’m not giving any real information at this time, except that I am discussing evaluations or perhaps placing a small order this month to see if they are offering a product that I would use and recommend.  As you know if you’ve been following here, I only post about, and link to, companies that I do or would use (if I could as in Blu – I would use them if I could get them into Canada).

The problem in this market right now is that there are new companies popping up online stores like the weeds in my backyard.  They come up fast, and some even stay a while.  While others just seem to get beat off by the others and vanish.  So I don’t get into the retail battles that are going on in this market.  Just too many of them.  And the other issue I see is that there are maybe a dozen or more product names for some of the same products, and most of those come from the same manufacturing sources that I order from in China.  They just get re-packaged and branded when you order enough product.

So I will continue to order my supplies direct, especially now that I see a couple of these manufacturers offering the choice of Vegetable Glycol juice in place of Propylene Glycol, and in light of the variety of models and styles that are offered.  Add to that the pricing and the delivery guarantees (VERY important for Canadian shoppers!) and you’ve got a winning combination in my books.

So… hopefully I’ll be writing about a new product soon, and perhaps even recommending another site.  But in the meantime, I continue using my E9 kit and loving it.

Stay tuned for news as it comes and of course feel free to read the whole history of my journey into e-cigs from the start.  You’ll find some good and useful advice, and learn a little about how I got to where I am with them now.

Cheers and Happy Vaping!

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!

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!

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 now I get to test the suppliers delivery guarantee and see just how well that works.  And hopefully, I will find another option and be able to stock up again before I run out of supplies.  If you’re in Canada, you too will one day feel the same as I do today, but don’t lose hope.  Maybe one day – not too far in the future – we’ll see the e-cig being available right at the corner store.  Could happen!?

Vape-On!

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!

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!
