Hey Brian.

It is sound like you are a heavy smoker.
This mini cigarette is the smallest and lightest in the market.
It is not the monster of vapor creator but it does deliver the nicotine that
a person needs.
If you feel that you want to get something that create more vapor and for
last longer time I recommend you try a bigger size model.
Thank you and we can talk on Monday again.

Sincerely,
Al.

The Mini84 battery lasts 30 minutes under normal use. The carts are prefilled and are not that good. His site said nothing about the kits being a Mint flavored starter kit and came pre-primed with mint on the atomizer (for a non-menthol smoker that really sucked). Vapor production was non-existent with the prepackaged carts. Vape production increased with my own liquid (Wicked 36mg Marl cut 35-40% with VG). I am awaiting a response from the guy to see if he will accept return of the second kit for store credit, will update this post accordingly

Just an update on this distributor:

He responded several days later to my request for store credit. I listed $105 worth of unused items i wanted store credit for and requested 2 801 kits. I offered to pay for shipping of new items and was even willing to give him the used kit back (no credit requested on used kit). This distributor has not responded back.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DISTRIBUTOR IS MY ADVICE

Called this guy and he offered to finally give me credit minus 25% restock. What a joke. Tried to talk me into keeping them as backups. If i was a light smoker they would have been just fine, but for a 2 pack a day analog smoker they just didn't do it for me. Nothing beats out my mods at this point, guess i am spoiled now that i got a Prodigy and a Silver Bullet coming

Health products from Dealextreme are said to be cheap rubbish and potentially dangerous.

SE was my gateway e-cig. Thankfully, it was less than adequate, else I may have never found this community. The vapour is less than desired and the whole unit is otherwise less than I expected. I am waiting for my DSE801 to come in the mail now and have spent way too much time trolling these amazing forums. I have a huge list of DIY E-liquid materials to buy now and keep finding more accessories and cheap ways to do things.

My JC Juice experience was okay. Just got a bottle of menthol with my SE. I'm looking to cut it this evening to bring down the Nic content, but am otherwise happy with it. There seems to be much cheaper out there and I'm still new, so I'll probably try a few different routes for my juice. I read about the cloudy batch(es) they had, am glad I was not part of that, and sorry for those that were.

My first E-smoking experience was from dealextreme. Bleh! They merely advertised themselves as e-cigarettes. They were trash with a triangle solid atty. They had little bits of tin foil covering the inside of each cartridge. I planned on modding it, since I had nothing to lose. I tried to clean out the atty and it stopped functioning.

Oh well. Just one more thing that failed and led me to this great community.

I found the item and thought I'd throw up the info. Laughable now that I look back on it.

If only I'd known then what I know now...

after 3 weeks i finally got my "real cig kit" from NUCIG. at first i was so amazed. these things really work. by the second day of using it, i actually prefered it to the real thing. on the 3rd day it did not seem as intense so i decided to use the extra battery that i git with the kit. well it did not work at all. i did some calculating, and determined it was much cheaper and quicker to just buy a new one. i wish some one would start a thread discussing what brands or models are compatible with others. i do not want to continue doing business with NUCIG, but i have already spent over $100 with them. i have no choice.

Hi gargoyle8,

I bought the 'real cig kit' from NUCIG and although I am extremely happy with the 'bits' in general, I would advise that the problem is the 'fuel'. I bought some juice & Lorann flavourings from Totally Wicked', mixed with some Dr.Oetker Glycerine (Tesco's 60 some pence). Wow!!. Admittedly the cartridges are tiny, enough for 15 to 20 serious puffs, but vapour galore....

As for the compatibility issue, eCigWarehouse sell an eCig 084, iVapour sell a Janty Mini Fogger, E-Lites sell an Exec, all are interchangeable with regard to battery, atomizer and cartridges.

If you want more vapour you should go for a Pen Style DSE801 or 901, but for ultimate I bought a Janty Stick (iVapour site). The absolute ultimate in my view. You could also try the Screwdriver, which loos a little bulky to me for outdoor use.

Best of luck

... to add some clarity, the eCig 084 etc mentioned earlier are all compatible with your NUCIG purchase. The dud battery should be returned to NUCIG for a replacement under warranty.

I too don't smoke real cigarettes anymore (referred to as 'analogs' by the ecig community) and went from 20-25 per day to total vaping in three days!!!

Lastly, remember, there is always a choice.....

Hi there
Not sure how this works, so hopefully what I'm writing will "fall" on the right place :-)

I live in Argentina, and I'm looking for my first electronic cigarette kit. Amazing the diversity I've found at the web, and during my research I found this place..........Wonder if you could help me through, cause if I make the wrong choice it won't be that easy to make any changes and due to rate change, which ever I chose, will be really expensive for my pocket :-( though it's worthy!!!

I've read I should pick up the 2 piece ciggie instead of the 3 (refilled) ones cause the ones you can refill have some leak problems when u smoke.......looks that if that occurs won't be very pleasant............. So......what do u think? Is that so?

I was ready to place my order at "Premiumecigarette.com" for the PR110 kit.......have any of you ever heard of this one ?

Is there any other forum I'm not finding which I can read the kind of advise I'm looking for?

Thanks very much for your help in advance and I appologize if my english is not that good as spanish is my native language :-)

Anyone know the magic word to get Njoy to reply to a phone call or email for service? I cant get more than 8 or 10 puffs from a cartridge and the company wont respond after various tries to contact them. Let me know at usafo8@gmail.com

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about Heaven-Gifts.com? Their prices seem almost unbelievable, what about quality of products etc. ?
