    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    Coldevil - I'd not deal with them. Trog seems to trust them but while wishing him well I think his trust misplaced. Put plainly, until members here start to report that they have received orders you should use one of the many reputable dealers listed on this forum. E-cig.com is not on the list...

    Important notice for all suppliers

    My profession involves advising politicians and very much understand SmokeyJoe's view. There will be scrutiny of the e-cig business and marketing will be important. I've a few suggestions: 1. Don't use anecdotal info to suggest e-cigs are a NRT until systematic studies have shown this to be the...

    OK Kate - I think I see where you're coming from. Given the increased publicity e-cigs have been getting and the rise in forum membership, the forum could be a useful resource for those wishing to conduct a clinical trial - if only as a means of contacting e-smokers. I'd be happy to...

    UK research

    Kate, I’m not sure how the knowledge and skills of medical professionals can be harnessed through the forum. The e-world doesn’t facilitate medical examinations but perhaps I’m not being imaginative enough. What the forum could be useful in doing is recording people’s experiences and...

    Janty thread - q&a

    I took the morning off work in the hope my KB Extended would be delivered - it was!! For the last hour I've been behaving like a child at Christmas ;) I think I've got all the bits sorted and have plugged in the battery charger to the mains, fitted the USB battery and all are busy...

    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    You're a braver man than me Trog. I just wrote to them to ascertain whether they'd dispatched an order I made 2 weeks ago and - if not - the order was canceled. I was just trying to make an order - not buy shares in the company. I wish you luck.

    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    Trog - only a desperate man willing to be parted from his money on the promise of receiving an order in 2009 would stretch to e-cig.com! I'm still on the analogues (no delivery after charge is worse than no charge). I've a G&T and watching Brucie & Come Dancing on my Sky Box. Watching a man...

    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    With this "financial meltdown" perhaps you need to have funds in a bank that has funds ;) I've had this before in ordering phone products - rejected 3 times using 2 different cards. It once ...... me off to the point that I walked around to the nearest bank machine to see if there was a...

    anybody had trouble ordering from BestEcig.com

    Trog - don't know if it helps but it happens to me from time to time. I might be wrong but I put it down to electronic traffic overload or just that even electronic info goes wrong sometimes. Hey - who am I telling! After the wind-up you gave Kate today I'm just not going to resist saying...

    Any Australians wishing to join in on a BULK order direct from the factory.

    Freddo - I expect that will much depend on the value of your order and how PakaDay decides to dispatch it. If HM wants to levy a charge her servants will advise you before you can collect. I'm not sure what the limits are for postal imports to the UK but if it's the same as the personal limits...

    Any Australians wishing to join in on a BULK order direct from the factory.

    If PakaDay is happy to add my order in - part of that order is for 20 x 20ml bottles of liquid at 28mg strength. 10 are in Menthol and the other 10 are in Tobacco flavours. I'm happy for a flavour mix with others ordering 28mg. Thanks Paka for agreeing to do this - hope it hasn't become a...

    KISS Boxes... WOW!!

    Kate - I downloaded the manual from EU Janty - the guarantee on the EU website refers to use as indicated in the manual. On a quick reading, the manual doesn't require (or even advise) the use of Janty cartridges or liquid. I have no reason to doubt what you've found on the Janty USA site and...

    E-Liquid. Are you getting what you pay for ?

    Kate - I can't find this advice on the Janty EU site - does this only apply to the US site? I'm awaiting delivery of a Janty Classic (from the EU) and will be sending it back if this change applies. I guess I should send this question to Janty - I will and I'll post their reply - if I get one.

    anyone experiment with different materials in the carts?

    Natural sponge sounds good to me. Having laid lofts with fiberglass you'd be daft to use it in a cartridge - the glass fibres enter the air very easily and you need to wear a mask when using the stuff for the purpose it was intended. A glass fibre lodged in your lung will not be good news...

    Just got my e-cigs!

    Sig - your post reminded me of the warnings that appear on cigarette packs - "Smoking when pregnant harms your baby", "Protect children: don't make them breath your smoke", "Contains cyanide" and "Smoking leads to impotency" ... The 1st wasn't ever likely to worry me, the 2nd has me smoking...

    Duration?

    Texas - I think I see what you're trying to measure but your question may not deliver the responses you need. If you want to know how many people have given up (totally, mostly (less than 50% of previous consumption, partially (between 0 to 50% less) and not at all then this is what you should...

    Disappointing delivery

    Pete - looks like Scotland has got better weather than we did this year - you're one day ahead! ;). Trog, yep - the BBC coverage will have had something to do with this but that coverage was AFTER Kate's order and my orders from e-cig.com and Janty. I agree with you, it's often just too easy...

    Disappointing delivery

    Trog - perhaps you're right. There has been increased publicity on e-cigs and demand has surely increased and me among them. Perhaps I'm caught by this and e-cigs are still a "small-scale industry" that might struggle to respond. Despite this - there is clearly some bad practice in operation...

    Disappointing delivery

    Pete - 10 days is twice what Janty advise. Is this a postal or supply problem? Once a product is put in the mail it should be delivered (within the EU) in 3 days. 5 days shouldn't happen but can. After 5 days you start to ask questions. Personally, I'd be happier if delivery is left at my...
