^^^^My first post has Lynda,s version of ECOpure Rich, have a look at it.

WL is sold out of the EM crystals, but has EM 10% PG solution. Have you used the concentrate before? Any reason it would be better to have the crystals and make the concentrate myself? I have a bottle of menthol concetrate made with pg and menthol crystals and can add just a couple drops to a bottle to make it menthol. I'm hoping I can us the EM concentrate to add a few drops to an already made juice.

I doubt 10% is strong enough for the proper mix. With the crystals you can mix it with VG or PGA if you don't want PG. Also you can mix them as strong as you want, until no more will dissolve.

Thanks, I'll wait until the crystals are back in stock then. I plan on getting bottles of 18mg pg and vg nic extract to have a bottle of 50/50 unflavored nic around. I could use that to make a bottle of EM concentrate.

I could add my own nic, right?

That's what I was wondering.

You could do that, but it's not a flavor concentrate so it will probably reduce the flavor. You could email Cignot and see if Vicky has any. She also has a B&M store so possible she has some around.

Another comment. I was always aware of this but there is intellicig-usa.com and intellicig.com. The non-usa branded version is from the UK.

I went to the UK site, Electronic Cigarettes | Electric Cigarette | Made in UK | Intellicig and they are still selling the ECOPure Rich. I wonder if it's only the US side of the company that was sold to the big tobacco company and the UK firm continues to live on... this may even explain why they had to reformulate the flavors. Big tobacco only got the brand name?!?! Anyway, I'm trying to figure out whether intellicig.com will ship to the states. On their main site,

"The Intellicig Electronic Cigarette is distributed and sold across the world and you can order from our website for delivery to Europe, the USA and the rest of the world. We believe it's important to be able to talk to us on the phone wherever you are."

Some, there is some hope that they'll ship to the US directly instead of for instance referring me to intelligcig-usa.com

Intellicig (Euro) sent me thins in an email: Dear Mann,

Unfortunately due to Intellicig's recent Acquisition by British American Tobacco in December 2012 we no longer ship to the USA. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

I guess you can hook-up with some one in Europe to buy for you, but that seems like a whole lot of work.

Intellicig USA still has not responded to my query.

I got the same response. I guess yeah, plan B is to import my own. I do have contacts in UK. Costs will probably be a bit higher, but shouldn't be too bad. I have another friend that also vapes ECOPure and historically, we would order ECOPure in bulk (E.g. 15+ bottles at a time). I was able to pick up a few bottles from cigno. I have about 3 month supply before I go international.

I thought the brand name was the only thing that changed.

Maybe I misread this:

Dear ECOpure Customers,
Our ECO e-liquid is now called ECOvape. The ECOpure e-liquid name is being discontinued in the USA but until our ECOpure brand stock is depleted, we still have REGULAR and MENTHOL in the ECOpure brand name. We also have cartomizers in the ECOpure brand name still available in Rich, Regular and Menthol.

I sent Intellicig a message (I have already been in talks with them about something else), so I will see what they say. If it is reformulated why would they just not say it instead of emphasizing the "name" part?

That is not what the website says now. This is what is there:

Dear Customer,
ECOpure e-liquid is being discontinued in the USA. We still have REGULAR and MENTHOL in the ECOpure brand name. We also have ECOpure cartomizers available in Rich, Regular and Menthol.

Our new ECO e-liquid is ECOvape. Enjoy all new flavors reformulated with organic ingredients, 99.8% pure Nicotine and 100% Kosher VG producing exceptional vapor and throat hit.

'Tis very strange.

One question in my mind is, who is making this smoke juice? Certainly not Intellicig.

I had complained about the ECOvape Rich juice to Intellicig UK and this was there reply:

Dear JAYMZ,

Unfortunately the company in the USA is no longer an official partner of Intellicig. We cannot supply to the United States anymore due to our recent acquisition by BAT.

With best regards,
Intellicig Information


BAT doesn't supply the US with any tobacco or related products. This situation sucks!

Has anyone tried Cignot's Basic - Sweet Naked? According to Vicki it has the same ingredients.

Basically you are saying screw all our US customers! Nice.... I've been a customer for the last 2 years!

At least send Intellicig US the damn recipe to make the stuff!!

Maybe, but how would Vicki know the ingredients of Ecopure? Yeah, I know it doesn't have much it, but the exact flavor?
