no nic, and not compatible with any 510 threaded devices I have, so no...I've looked at them, and they seem to be a cheap 808 styled battery and a single carto...A friend of a friend of mine is using one to cut down on his smoking, and take care of the oral fixation part, and he seems happy with them, but I think it's just cause he doesn't know any better...

True that. Then again, some people are just really satisfied with a simple, cheap ecig system.

After I had stocked up from one huge order, I had not had to buy anything for a while, so I really don't know what's going on with the status of ecigs in canada. I noticed that they are selling ecigs in 7 11 now? Had anyone tried these?
ahh the exhale 02's....like TonyTT said: NO NIC.....if you get the disposable it is $11.99 (Winnipeg Manitoba that is), there is no draw cut off. If you want what they laughably call a 'starter kit' you get a cheap usb charger, one battery and one canter. for a lovely $25 you get two canters in a package as a refill as they say it lasts 300 to 500 puffs. The flavors are something like "Banana/Strawberry" etc.
The Battery is like a k808 but it seems that the threads are raised a bit higher from the battery and smaller so you are basically 'locked' into using their carts.
Now that i said that and seeing before i got (and fell in love with) my ego, i did try the exhaleo2 (or exhale 02 as it was repackaged) as a disposable. The draw was better then the smoking NV's (no nic either), the throat hit was ok, and taste was decent, but i had gotten the one that said tobacco on it. I think there is suppliers with disposable's and even with shipping you may be able to get something for the same price as 7 11's....

you are talking to someone who seriously thought that way, my reasoning seemed logical to me (at the time) which was i wanted to cut down/quit smoking so i needed something that looked, acted and felt similar to a real one.......was i wrong.....really wrong

I started with small devices (rebranded 808 if i'm not mistaken...), and then I used 510s for a loong time. Just got a nice package from Vaporus today and there's no going back to small(er) devices for me!
I have the 510 thanks to katmandu, and honestly since meeting and talking to her and using the eGo...i have no clue what the h*ll i was thinking when i wanted the 808's

Seeing the eCigs at 7/11 is what started me into vaping. Once I asked the clerk and found out there's no nic in them, the research train started haha. It wasn't long before I found my first supplier website and was completely overwhelmed with information. Now I'm a bit overwhelmed at how much I've spent in the last 2 months :p Oh well, I feel great.

Or... maybe because we know too much, we are not satisfied with what we have.

Ask yourself, would you really need or be curious about a LR/HV/VV/VW device if you didnt know they existed.
OR would you just move on with your life being content with what you have, because there was no curiosity to try something "better".

If that acquaintance of yours is able to get off analogs by using a cheapo e-cig, then i salute him.

I have experienced the evil that is Variable Wattage, and am now cursed by its' power.:evil:

This "Smoke NV" are making a heck of a lot of inroads in gas station and c-store distribution.

I tried one at Xmas and found it okay, but not overly satisfying. I got to thinking that if this is a disposable, what do the permanent units do? Think Bic vs Zippo.

Did an online search and found a B&M vendor a short drive away. I got to hold it, fell it and test drive it. Along with a bunch of juices, I purchased.


I truly think that I am not alone. These disposables will turn off some, but attract others.

He never got off analogs for even a day, it was just to keep him from chain smokin while playing world of warcraft...

But yeah, with great knowledge comes great etc. etc. etc...

I've just always thought, if there is anything that I find interesting in the world, somewhere, there are people doing it better, cheaper, and funner...

I have no qualms with a simple device, but you can get a 510 that's cheaper, and still able to allow room for growth and personal taste (nic level, juice delivery, rechargability)...This consumeristic one size fits all deal isn`t my cup of tea.

You gotta take pride in what you do...there`s nothing wrong with not doing something because you choose not too...but to not do something, because you don`t know about it, is depressing and limiting

This is very much true my friend. MOST vapers could/would probably be happy with a, say, 900mAh eGo. But then again, we like toys...don't we?

Imma get me a SB soon. Do I need it? nope. Do I really want one? yup.

Smoke NV is what started it all for me nice kit but alas no nic.....so I followed Leonard Nimoy and went in search of and landed here have not left don't intend to ever go back to analogs.I have been enjoying everyday of my smoke free life food tastes better,can breathe again and no coughing.:D

This sounds exactly like me lol... Knew there had to be some nic available somewhere for this thing....and here is where I landed as well. I'm not quite analog free but I think I'm on my way. And I've seen the disposable ones in a lot of different gas stations lately...I'm still a bit confused by this I thought e-cigs weren't allowed to be sold in Canada..... But I'm glad to see they are!

Their website seems to be firmly against using the smokenv with nic..... But as we know, the cartomizers are refillable and juice with nic is (thankfully) available elsewhere
