E-Turbo ..my new invention....

[doggsie]

Sorry doc, you know i worship you.......but i think the pricing is too high...

Unless of course, we get special discounts.....Lol...

Hi Fedor.......i really cant believe you think the "suggested" price of Doc's new gadget is to much.......how much are you spending right now on replacements !!!!!
I find it annoying that you even suggest a special discount after all the time and effort not to mention probable cost of getting this up and running......and to boot as mentioned the revenue collated from sales is not going to line Doc's pocket, get real buddie and find a heart.

 

[tribalmasters]

That price is probably spot on! Remember with this you have have longer lasting atomisers that can be revived so no more buying many spares, a battery fit for the job so no more buying batteries either and a USB direct connection and charge for vaping at the computer ! A Janty Kissbox classic extendd costs more!!

--EDIT-- did I mention a hotter smoke more like a cigarette AND get this! You even get a manual switch thrown in aswell all in an attractive, simple to use little box!!!

 

[smokindeuce]

I agree, I think once you consider the cost of spare atomisers etc and the long term saving this device will achieve for the owner, the price is already pretty realistic.

Naturally in time the price will probably come down further as the production costs even out (as all of these device will), and for a niche product such as this that's a fair ask IMO.

At around £40 for the e-turbo, that is the equivalent cost of around 6-7 atomisers which people on this forum seem to get through on average about 1 every fortnight... so long term savings will certainly be far greater!

Also the peace of mind that you won't have to keep on ordering spares but have a reliable solution to these unpredictable parts.. that's got to be priceless!

I just said it, so u better believe it. U made a very good point about replacements. It does make a lot of sense to purchase the e-turbo and we all can agree to that. Since my batteries lasts me 3 months and atomisers lasts me a month on average, it will take some time before i experience savings. I told the good doctor what i felt of his pricing, which he had no problems with me doing so. The discount was partly a joke but i will admit that i will accept any discounts given without thinking twice. What is your problem? I just gave my opinion to the good doctor and why does this bother you that much, seeing that you are not in any way involved. Besides, even if you felt strongly about it, a simple reminder would suffice. Why the sarcasm? I will grow a heart when you grow up.

Oooh imagine that once loved atomiser that bought out the greatest of tastes revived back from the dead? Your first atomiser ever? Mmm tastes of vanilla and menthol and other first time favourites the way you first experienced them come back with MEGA BITE in the VERY atomiser at started you on e-smoking Now you can vape out other e-smokers with their puny batteries and vape in the face of danger! With E-Turbo(tm) you are a walking smoke bomb ready to fill the atmosphere of your airplane or pub with plooms of great smelling vanilla vapor. When its time to go home, you atach the lifeline into your PC or Mac or LUnix computer's USB port for ever lasting vaping goodness and no burnt taste!

 

[Mr.Darcy]

how long is the cable going to be in the production model doc...and will it be retractable or would that be unfeasible?

I still don't understand how a battery pack, no matter how sophisticated, can revive a dead atomizer can someone enlighten me please

My understanding is that it won't bring back a "truly" dead atomizer but it will revive a low performer.

 

[tribalmasters]

Thats true, the doc said it can't bring back a cold atomiser, they usually become underperformers long before they go cold tho unless your unlucky As for how it revives crappy underperformers, thats a secret so the doc says and this is no ordinary battery pack!

 

[doggsie]

I just said it, so u better believe it.

Ah did i ruffle your feathers. And you think i should grow up he he,
if you had not noticed before we all share opinions on here and thats what mine is, sorry you dont like it but just look at the comments on here.....you seem to be a minority.
The price is fine but you wont be needing one of Doc' gizmo's seeing how your batteries and atomisers last so long. As for sarcasm!!!! read between the lines if you wish.

Like you i stated my opinion....nuff said.

 

[freddo]

i think it revives them by heating them more than they would a normal battery and this burns off all the crud. Just a simple explanation lol

 

[tribalmasters]

Ohh no it doesn't just heat them up more. It provides magical powers, well that and maybe some AC electrocal power of some kind

 

[ted26]

It cant! but i believe it can keep atomizers going for longer periods as my penstyle when connected to a aa 3.6 lithium does just as his product does.

Face facts this product is a very very good idea and should make this game alot less hassle and i personally believe save you money as the stronger battery will keep the atomizer cleaner!!

Keep up the good work op as i think you have done a great job

Jim - I think you're close to an excellent business model and appreciate your reasons for wanting a local benefit. I wish out own entrepreneurs thought the way you are now doing.

Pricing will always leave some unhappy - yet (in the UK) it doesn't stop them shelling out £6+ ($9+) a day for a pack of cigs. For me, the reliability issue is very important - I've far more batteries and atomisers than I'm going to need. The reason i have them is to avoid a situation of mechanical breakdown that could have me back on the 'cancer sticks'.

As for you wanting to use some of the revenue from sales for local benefit - this will be an additional attraction to your product - and one that'll make it more difficult for pirates to mimic. If you attach a % to a charitable trust you may find a lot of interest - in the product and the work of the trust.

Please keep up the good work!

Personally I'm more likely to buy ethical products, especially ones that don't rely on exploitation of the workforce and community. People in developed countries sometimes don't realise that a lot of our consumer goods are subsidised through disadvantaging others who are less well off.

Your suggested price doesn't sound high to me at all, in fact when you compare it with another well known custom battery solution we've experienced here it's priced very reasonably.

Good luck with it Dr Loi.

There is also an additional business angle to a reliable e-cig product.

I was recently talking to a good friend of mine who runs a village pub. He has lost a lot of business due to the smoking ban and was asking my advice on stocking e-cigs. It lead to an interesting conversation and the current state of the technology (unreliability) led to him deciding to wait and see. The problems are:

1. With a country pub he's a relationship of trust with customers. Selling products that had even a moderate failure rate was not acceptable.
2. Renting devices was an alternative option discussed - it had the advantage of lower across the counter cost (no big deal for the customer) and it'd only need customers buy their cartridges. But, on hearing about the problems with battery life my friend lost interest. Only the Screwdriver seemed to be a reasonable option and he's still thinking about that.

If my friend's business concerns are more widely felt then you are most definately on the right track. I know you're in early stages and are thinking of a 'medical look'. It might be worthwhile thinking about adapting the image to accommodate this market and thereby widening the use of e-cigs - and your e-cig.

Sorry to blather on - hope there's something above that's helpful.

 

[deewal]

Before i discovered the e-cig i was spending at least £50 a WEEK on Cigarettes so i don't think the price is too high at all. Also as soot said i'm regulary buying new batterys at £8+ each and atomisers at £6+ each and i have at least two batterys charging at any given time. So it is Reliability i'm looking for. Also, as has been said, when friends ask me about the overall cost and ease of use it is at the point of mentioning batterys and chargers that people tend to lose interest and it is because That is the main failing of the Device and it's main weakness. imho
