My e;cig experience after 5 weeks
Hi folks
I’ve been off the scene for a while but have been reading your comments regularly, it’s now been 5 weeks (3rd July 2008) since i had my last real cigarete and cant say i’ve missed them at all. I will probably be banned from this forum after this thread but these are my own personal views and opinions and i thought that was what this forum was all about.
I dont agree with smokey joe about not selling this in main stream as i learnt about e:cig from a man on the street, who had seen somebody smoking one and enquired about it, ned looked it up on the internet and that was the start on my e:cig journey.
I have bought 5 mini e:cig / 3 super mini’s / 2 classic penstyles / 1 sedansa diva /2 janty kiss boxes / 1 loong totem/ 1 sedansa cigar and lastly 1 generic cigar, from various suppliers. 4 in the uk-2 from europe and 1 from china.
As ned and myself have spoken to 5 suppliers in the uk over the last 7 weeks trying to do research i do feel that TB comments in a thread i will never trust your comments again is pathetic . I know he has valuable comments to put on this forum but so have others . Each individual has differing experiences with each product.
There are certain people who swear by only buying generics e:cig there are others who venture into expensive territory (like me) who have there favourites.
This is going off the subject but many moons ago i worked in a car garage
and was lucky enough to drive all the new cars.
You cant tell me that a standard escort is going to drive and perform like the top of the range high perfermance GT, In around about sort of way this is very similar to my opinion on Ecig’s
well back on track
With all the e:cigs I have 2 favourites one for day use and one for evening
I enjoy my classic penstyle for day use which is more of a work horse and harder to draw on but keeps the concentration and adrenalin going which i pick up on and off during the day.
for evening i choose the sedansa diva which is a much more relaxing draw whilst watching tv and good old glass of baileys.
The janty kissbox is very nice and also relaxing put that blasted switch does my head in and I feel it makes smoking hard work.
On the forum I know alot of people work with this type of cartridge you get so many puffs and another you get so many and all the mathematics of it all, i’m intrigued did anyone ever count how mant puffs/draws they had from a normal cigarette because after all there are many different shapes and sizes and strengths of those.
I’m a simple kind of girl when i’m not getting the nicotine kick from a cartridge i just change it. Personally i’m not into dripping . back to the old car again you put petrol in one end and turn the key the other and hopefully it goes every time.
Well i’ve had my moan and groan and hope i havent offended anybody but at the end of the day i dont know anybody personally on this forum and they dont know me so to an outsider looking in on this forum everybody is entitled to there own opinion.
Well as the cigars have arrived and are charged up i will try them today|||i dont have any problems with what u have just said.. except perhaps your car analogy..
and u do not seem not to be short of cash.. your expenditures so far on e cigs must be astronomical.. also u have tried that many different types none of them as has had a real thrashing..
also the car analogy price difference would be P higher for the GT than the basic model.. but above all the running costs would be roughly the same and so would the cost of the fuel..
with the e cig we are talking price differences of 800% for the car (analogy) and 800% for the fuel to keep it going..
no one minds paying a small premium for better quality.. some however do object to being ripped off.. in a money no object world i would drive a Bentley Continental.. in my current world i drive a 16 year old Mitsubishi Pajero.. quality but old quality.. it cost me two grand.. not two hundred grand..
money means a lot in my world.. it all as to be brought into the final judgement.. the bottom line being no matter how good the product if i cant afford to run it.. its of no use to me..
trog|||[ Hi TRog
I dont have any problems with your comments either but as i work 10/12 hours a day every day miss diane is a very dull girl.
i also dont like being ripped off that’s why i will buy supermarkets own branded goods.
smoking for me is an enjoyable experience , i dont go out and spend mega bucks on other social activities .
I also enjoy holidays but due to other commitments I have been unable to go so if i spend money on e:cig not only has it taken my mind off smoking roll ups but in the long run will also help me save money. at approx 拢50 per week i’m already a quarter of the way there and i have enough cartridges for possible about another 3 months.
As the old saying goes i work hard and play hard at what makes me happy. but in my world if i take a week off work i dont get paid so hence not going away and having to work long hours.
as for the car scenerio it was only a comment between bottom/top of the range and i could have used any other items, it was just from experience i was lucky enough to be able to drive all sorts.

trog[/quote]|||we talk the same talk diane.. we simply want different things from our e cigs..
to u they are a luxury.. a pleasure.. to me they are simply an evil necessity i would rather not have to mess about with..
something i have to have simply to feed my addiction.. i dont want to spend more than i have to on them so as i can do exactly the same as u.. spend more on the things that do give me pleasure..
in short i want the super market own brand e cig.. he he he
nice thread some salient points have already been made..
u talk more sense than your old man does.. he he he
trog
ps.. i shop in aldis by the way.. he he|||Hi MissDiane (is your name from Crossroads, btw?)
No problem with any of your comments, but I have to say I was a bit mystified by Ned’s stance on the other thread. It doesn’t really fly. Nobody can reassure people by alluding to a conversation and then say they won’t expand on it because it was personal.
I could give assurances that the King of Nigeria really does have twenty million quid that he just needs to pass through a European bank account (If anyone’s interested, send me your bank details and I’ll take it up with me old mate Onyesu). Check my posts, I’m a pretty straight guy, it’s all kosher and legit. See what I mean?
If you or Ned do have information about GreenCig that would allay people’s fears, I’d certainly be glad to hear it. But it’s no reassurance at all to say the info’s under the seal. As you say yourself, nobody on the forum knows each other personally (with a couple of exceptions, you and Ned, Karen and Rachel, for example), so if I posted ‘these guys are all right, you can take my word for it’ I’d expect the forum to require substantiation.
Ned has posted a lot of valuable information and I hope he’ll carry on doing so (and I hope you’ll keep posting too).
All the best
Emp||| ||| |||I don’t know why you think you’d be banned for that post - we’ve banned 3 or 4 people in the entire nine months this board has run - and those were all for spamming!
||| |||As far as GreenCig goes, I suspect the problem has been the claim of certification when in actual fact only a registration has been made, the seemingly high prices and the hype before launch. People hate hype!
Ned giving assurances as to the legitimacy of GreenCig and then revealing "business conversations" but not their content didn’t help things much either, for obvious reasons.
My personal beef is with anyone who tries to push things mainstream prematurely. As for the license, it just won’t happen. It would be far too expensive, it will get the civil liberties crowd going crazy, it will face huge opposition from industry and independent retailers organisations etc. Look at the furore caused by the proposals in the UK to have cigarettes place under the counter.
Plus, license or not, it still doesn’t address the legality of nicotine as sold without approval from the medicines authorities. This applies to US and EU.
