E-cig and london drugs

[tomknotts]

Hey guys i dont know if this has come up yet, but i was flipping through the latest london drugs flyer today and guess what, I found they sell e-cigs.

It is a smoke NV Started kit for 54.99

I bet its crap but it goes a long way in helping us get HC off our back

Thanks

Looks like it's already on the website:
Smoke NV Starter Kit - KIT101

They also sell the CIGANOT Smokeless Cigarette

Smoke Nv is the product I started out with, Its a remodeled 808 78mm automatic. From what I understand totally made to mimic smoking in a lot of ways. Of course they don't really give full details on the specs of the device it self. They come with 5 prefilled cartos. With 5 flavors to chose from, They list the ingredients as Glycerin, Vanillin, Vanilla extract, Water, Artificial Flavoring. They also sell ya that the ingredients, Which I haven't looked up give ya a calming feeling the counteract nic withdrawals in a way. Which I did experience for a few days, Of course I dont think it was meant to vape on a constant basis.
I ended up switching over to the volt since it is also a 808 but the 65mm volt auto seems to give way better performance and cheaper in the long run. Plus its also I find cheaper to to buy my vape products online since smoke nv charges 12 for a 5 pack of prefilled cartos.
My only concern is besides the absence of nicotine in there product I thought Health Canada was against ecigs as a whole.
Why allow a well known company like London drugs sale this product but condemn others.

But CBC said ecigs are illegal!!!

 

[Pipeous]

not cheap but at least it's mainstream.

Well there is one good thing, The moment is growing and so is the popularity HC will have no chose but to act as the wild fire continues the burn.

My neighborhood convenience store sells these for $80 but he doesn't display them. He's all secretive about it lol. I asked him once if he sold e cigs since he has a bunch of weird gadgets in his store and he whipped it out under the counter lol.

That's really funny...having to be all shady about them. But as a few posts above mentioned, it's great that they are showing up here and there. Can only help make them less taboo

You can buy them in most convenience stores where I live, they even have posters on the windows advertising them.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Convenience stores is one thing, but now a major retail store carrying them? That's bound to make some waves..

You guys arent thinking about the real reason why HC is saying e-cigs are illegal, its the Nic in juice, not the machine itself. No different then stores selling bongs, pipes, hooka's

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Hopefully it's still a start to turning more people on about e-cigarettes. When I bought my first Joye 510 from Happy Vaper I had no idea that some liquids contained nicotine, but a bit of research and bam I was hooked and off cigarettes. I'm sure I'm not the only one either, so if e-cigarettes become more mainstream and the numbers swell, a good proportion of these people will begin doing their research as well and realize that e-cigs are a healthier alternative to smoking. Power in the numbers!

But also with the juice, they have issues with pg, no you are not the first to make the switch like you said I am the same as well. Also what this shows, that person in sask should tell their lawyer or what not, that london drugs is selling the same thing so why should they be treated any different?

Good to finally see them becoming mainstream. It can only help with more and more exposure (in any means), no doubt.

I think personally it's all about the nicotine. It's something they want to control. The only reason they go after the hardware is to send a message to us. They are out there and they know what we are doing.

Want to add, i am happy to see them in London Drugs. I really hope it shows that HC is losing the war.

 

[DevilFishPhil]

Hopefully other big retailers will start carrying these as well

 

[DemonCleaner]

This is one I saw advertised in a Canadian industry publication for grocers and convenience store operators. Don't ask me why I was reading a convenience store industry magazine cuz I don't recall. Also they sell it at Sheffield and sons in Calgary at chinook mall. I tried it. Meh...not bad standard 808.

 

[JayTheVapingGuy]

.... and he whipped it out under the counter lol.

Y'know, depending on the context... that could be a very inappropriate action... LOL If i whipped it out under my desk i'd probably get fired.

 

[Bdbodger]

Ya but do they produce vapor or are they like the nicoret tube that only gives you some taste and some nic

Oh we don't have them here, I'm gonna check it out for giggles when I'm in your stomping grounds this week.
