    Default ecigars being phased out?

    Hi All,

    I decided I want to try out an ecigar because of the standard batteries they use and for the increased capacity, but they suddenly seem very hard to find.

    I'm wondering who is still selling them and more importantly whether I will be able to get replacement atomizers for them in the future.

    Anyone on the supply side know whats going on with ecigars?

    Hi,
    I know that Njoy is phasing out their e-cigars (NGAR) to be replaced by disposable ones (NROBO) sometime this month. But I believe the Puresmoker.com will have them back in stock once they have completed their move. Keep your eyes open on their site. I think they said they will be relaunching around the 20th.

    Good Luck!

    yeah they were one of the first places I looked today. Still makes me wonder whether ecigars are selling well enough for the manufacturers to stay around making the atomizers. I figured I'd be solving the expensive battery issue with one but it's pointless if I can't replace atomizers consistently.

    probably has something to do with Ruyan's patent case recently. .......... removed that item from their inventory as they were ordered to by a Chinese court as it infringed one of Ruyan's patents.

    DC is correct and these very old e-cigars are probably history. I certainly would NOT buy one today expecting to have replacement parts available any time in the future. Can you say "orphan?"

    Depending on who you get them from, the atomizer will last anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks. To be honest, the only one's I have had that lasted 8 weeks were from www.esmokestop.com .

    Thanks TB - I definitely value your insight and it's confirmation of what I feel is going on.

    I think I will instead turn my attention to a mod using those standard batteries and 901 or 401 atomizers that I can feel more confident of having long term production support
