Hello all + 2 piece ecig info seeking

[Michael Curry]

I get what your saying about limiting. The thing is, e-cigs are nowhere yet in Belgium. I am the first person that I know of to have actually tried it. And imo the future of vaping is not in working with liquids.

Different places, different markets I suppose. That's actually quite the opposite of what I see happening here in the US.

Must be some pretty confusing laws there, since you can really make a cartomizer with any concentration of nicotine you choose. I would think that one possible venue might be a niche within the niche and sell custom filled carto's? That of course would depend on the licensing requirements and how hard/expensive it is to get licensed to do that.

It just seems that reselling what is already available is reinventing the wheel a bit - since I got from your post that you were looking for an internet based business as opposed to a storefront. I know shipping from from China or the US would be a pain, but there are a number of UK based suppliers out there.

So would being an internet only enterprise help with the legal issues? It really sounds like you have a rare ground-floor opportunity there. Could be awesome if you find an efficient way to get through the government red-tape.

If a company will not tell me the mah and the thread of the battery stop right there and go someplace else. As consumers, we need to demand accountability and that starts with knowing what the seller is selling us. The mah will tell you about how long a battery will last in general between charges. While this will vary by they way each person vapes, you will still get more time the higher up in number the mah is.

A new person doesn't know they need to know the type of battery so how would they even know to ask. We're talking about a novice that's never vaped before and that's how gets taken on the overpriced kits. Ridiculous hold them to the same standards as someone that has some knowledge about vaping.

Half the people that end up here are people that have already bought overpriced kits and are looking for a little help with them.

It's easy to say if you're somewhat knowledgeable what you'd do or wouldn't do.

That's how I ended up here. Bought overpriced trash and while I saw the potential, I knew it was trash. I knew there had to be something better out there... Found ECF, a real store nearby later that night, and was in said store replacing the junk the following morning. Since then - Life has been good

I swear by V2cigs for KR808 products. They are just as expensive as green smoke and brands like that but you get much more in your starter kits like PCC, Passthrough, 25 carts, normal carry case etc.... V2 also have excellent vapor and are very easy to use. I am personally moving on to an eGo-T but that gets into the juices and stuff like that so if you want something very simple i would just say go with V2cigs.com since they have a lifetime warranty on all their electrical components. if your battery gets killed they will just send you a new one.

"What brand other than Greensmoke operates partially or completely out of the UK or another Europe based location? "

I haven't ordered products from these companies, but I know that they are based in the UK. You may want to do some research/check out: Cloud 9 Vaping Cloud 9 Vaping - e-cigarettes, eliquid & e-smoking supplies shop

Best to you!

irt swedishfish: Its true what you're saying, most people tend to be scared off by such technical posts. I however I'm highly appreciative. Its always easier to understand a technical explanation in your own topic, than in someones elses. Even though the explanation is often 99% similar. So please don't hesitate coming at me with the tough stuff. I'm here to learn and I see people here really do help and have patience with new guys, which is a rare thing on forums

irt MissC: thanks for the links!

I've been looking all over the forum, but can't seem to find anyone reviewing the Flavormax cartomizers by GS. Can anyone link me or share personal experiences with them?

If you read my previous post on this thread you'll see that I did tell the novice about the different types of batteries and expected time between charges. That's what this board is for, learning and sharing info. I bet 80% of us at least (me included) purchased an overpriced kit and a low mah battery. Some come in here and learn before they buy, others buy first and learn later.

Some wait so long to buy so they can learn first that they spend more on cigarettes waiting than the cost of one or more overpriced kits.

I'm also from Belgium.
Politics have banned the e cig by giving it a medical status,
sucks, but there you go.

I recently bought an apollo two piece model.
I'm of the same mindset. Ease of use is a number one priority.

Now I haven't received my kit yet, so I can't comment on quality,
(although reviews set it neck on neck with V2 and Greensmoke),
but they do have an uk base of opperations and are relatively cheap.

Maybe the op should check them out as well.
