Hello there, me again!!

Does anybody know anything about this brand?? In Ireland this was being advertised in the papers again, they seem to be at the top end of the market, a started kit will cost you 60GBP and 5 cartridges (which is the equivalent of 100 smokes) are 7GBP.

I dont see them advertising any spare parts and so I am wondering if this thing is made so well that you wont need any??

Actually, the website says that the battery and charger comes with a 12 month gaurantee, so does effectively mean that all you will need are cartridges??

Anyone with any comments??

thanks

Stay clear of Gammucci - I paid over the odds for my classic in the mistaken belief that the 12month guarantee was worth the extra - it wasn't...........

I have had lots of problems with my e-cig and nothing but promises (and 1 atomiser) from Gamucci - I've given up with them now and have been buying all my spares from the Electronic Cigarette Company - I'm still getting atomiser failures but never had a problem with getting them replaced by ECC .

yep gamucci like everyone else sells rebranded generics at top-end prices. never bought one. cant believe how much play they are getting in the irish press. must be payed for. saw an article in the irish sun today about them. bought it just to read it, no mention of other makes. it read as if it was the only model. was looking for the border box that says -----this is an advertisement----- there wasnt one. for shame...so this is what it has come to.

NO DON'T DO IT. I got conned by a Gamucci. They are seriously overpriced rebranded generics. They used to sell a super mini, if that is the one being sold then it's an even bigger NO.

Do not believe anybody who says 1 cart=20 cigs, it is simply not true. 1 cart depending on type equals about 4-5 cigs and thats being generous. Spares are a nightmare to find and there are reports that this particular warranty is not honoured.

Have a good look around this forum, you will find 2 UK resellers highly praised, there are other EU sellers that have good reputations. Spend a couple of hours reading the forum, you will not regret it.

I do not like them at all! I emailed them and a supplier on ebay and didn't get any help. I have quite a bunch of these devices and their is my least favorite! The one I have was so ugly, i sanded it down and made it brushed stainless instead of the blotchy white atomizer and off color battery it was. Looks better but still is far from my favorite. The draw is horrible compared to other pen styles I have. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

When I was looking for my first e-cig to buy (just few days ago), Gamucci was the first option I found (here in Spain). In fact, I didn't find much more options in my country, some others in terrific websites that didn't inspire any confidence :cry:

While I was searching, I was lucky and found this forum. After reading, reading, and more reading... I've ordered my e-cigs from UK :p (of course, not Gamucci)

Wish u luck... and wish me luck too! :lol: (I guess I made a good decission, but I cannot be sure till I have it in my mouth! ).

90% of the gamucci costs are probably promotion costs..

which is why everyone knows about it and also why its relatively expensive..

when u buy a gamucci.. u are paying for them to tell everyone about it..

its how brand names are created.. it was a gamucci add that first made me aware of e smoking.. then came ebay to actually buy some.. he he he

sadly (for them) they lost out with me..

Yes. I have seen those adds too from Gamucci. I asked a friend of mine who lives in China to source a good one and sent it home to me, which he is doing. He told me a new e-cigarette is being manufactured now which comprises of a battery and a throw away atomiser with nicotine cartridge attached so there are no spare parts required as such as every new cartridge you attach also contains a new atomiser.I will share more info when I have it to hand.:)

Been using Gamucci for a while now, the micro version and its great. Never had a problem with the batteries and i get a hell of a lot of smoke (vapor). The tobacco flavor tastes great ( i think im addicted to the taste as well as the nicotine ). Had a friend that needed some spare parts and they send the faulty parts to the address at Gamucci and they received parts a few days later. I don't know what all the bad reviews are about, but Gamucci gets 2 thumbs up from me.

You say, you work for Gamucci ? ? ?
 
Hmm sounds like Gamucci are the masters at marketing, shame they can't make a working ecig and from what I have heard, their cartridges taste like crap!

The cartridges taste like nothing!
(Like sucking through a straw!)

I think they only have the menthol and regular.

Can't rejuice them either (how CONvenient).

No throat hit at all!:mad:

Bottom line: RIP OFF!!!
