Not that great really. It's still a super mini and they go at less than what you're asking in classifieds by people who got hooked. At $16USD even if you provide free shipping, it's @1/2 (a little less with 5 more carts) of a 510 kit from cignot.com with their 2 day free shipping. Many said they want 2 or more? Just buy a 510 kit. :confused:

Good luck, though.

1/2 a kit will not make 2 gifts because there is only one charger.

I actually sold all of my 510 stuff a couple 3 weeks back, because at the end of the day it isn't the quantity of vapor that counts, but the quality and (surprise, surprise) if you want to introduce people to vaping you need something that works like a cigarette and has flavor...as opposed to "air flavor" or "ugh...burnt AGAIN!" flavor ;)

My most used pv right now is actually a custom combo: an L88 atty with a more powerful j108 battery. It is about the size and thickness of a 100s, it gets plenty hot, it has an easy draw and whatever I put in it, I can taste when it comes out...not some facsimile thereof.

The idea here is to have a inexpensive starter kit that has a better price/performance than say, a "Blucig" and the weak link with that one has never really been vapor production per se, but the crap weak batteries.

If he's found something in that size/style with a bit of heat and a decent battery density so it has some power and can be gotten into people's hands for $20 and "just works" it is going a long, long way.

With a 510, sure you get a "lot" of vapor, but it either tastes like air with a hint o' flavor or burnt. You gotta "finesse it" to get something somewhat decent and that doesn't compare to a cigarette. Cigarettes "just work" :)

Hi Freddo, I would def be interested in a couple. I'll keep an eye on this thread but could you let me know when they are ready to go please? Thanks muchly

Will do mate, no probs :)

Thanks the description. I can't wait to see the pictures. I could be interested in one maybe.

I'll try and get some up today

Freddo my man, i too shall have a try with one of these i reckon, im a sucker for a bargain haha!

well its definitely worth a try at 9.99! lol

I'd deffo be interested in a couple of kits for prezzies. I have two interested parties wanting to quit the weed :)

No problems, i'll let you know when there available. thanks for the interest.

I do understand where you are coming from. however, for someone wanting to give these as a gift or just experience 'vaping' for the first time, they are perfect...No hassle splitting two kits...no need to buy an extra charger...already comes with 10 refillable carts and all packed in a very nice display box. Very small in size, identical to a normal cigarette, and give a decent throat hit, vapour, and taste. It is just a simple option.

Also, spare parts are going to very cheap. considering the whole set with 10 carts and charger costs 10uk pounds + around 2 pounds extra for shipping to the USA that is around the cost of 2 packets of cigs. So for 1 atomizer and 1 battery, cost is going to be around 7pounds for both(rough price)

If you wanted to, you could even treat these as semi-disposable and still be saving cash. Anyway, each to their own...

Don't forget me, Freddo.

I won't! cheers sherid.

1/2 a kit will not make 2 gifts because there is only one charger.

+1

Go ahead and PM me as well, I have a lot of people that I could give these to for starters to get them off of analogs.

thanks for the interest, will do my friend.

How much liquid does a cartridge hold?
How much do cartridges cost?
What levels of nicotine are available?

Will there be refillable cartridges available for those who prefer to do so?

Can't say exactly how much the cart holds but will try and find out for you soon. Pretty much the same as any other super mini though.
Cartridges should cost around 5 uk pounds for 10 (very rough estimate, haven;t fixed pricing yet, shouldn't be much higher than that, could be lower)
Nicotine strengths should vary from 0-28mg
All the carts are refillable!

hope this helps, I should have some more solid info within the next week.

As i said...each to their own... i'm just trying to bring in some variation at a decent price! I am also growing to really enjoy this supermini...

MrKai says: No disrespect but...the 510 is seriously overrated :)

That must be why vendors can't keep them in stock. lol

You hear that a lot.... from fanboys with other models :) Tastes are subjective enough for no proclamations on either side have any validity, but I'll add mine anyway. Stronger flavors - tobacco based, cappuccino, cigar, RY4, DV's Habana Reserver, Absinthe, Black Currant (non sweet), taste much better on my 510's that they do on the Janty Stick or the supermini that I threw against... that I sold. :) Fruity flavors might taste better on other models but you can still taste them on the 510 if you don't hang on the button and burn them.

Good for you. Go with what works. But you might take a look at the new member forum and see what doesn't for most people that report being taken to the cleaner on POS (their words) supermini's.

Ah... you know what I'm talking about :)

If he's found something in that size/style with a bit of heat and a decent battery density so it has some power and can be gotten into people's hands for $20 and "just works" it is going a long, long way.

I only have his word to go on what the model is and if it is like almost all other supermini's it's liable to chase more people back to analogs like SE, NJoy and Blu have done for likely thousands of people. We only hear from the ones that were interested in the concept, even though they weren't satisfied with their ecig.

With a 510, sure you get a "lot" of vapor, but it either tastes like air with a hint o' flavor or burnt. You gotta "finesse it" to get something somewhat decent and that doesn't compare to a cigarette. Cigarettes "just work".

Again, to each his own but places like Nhaler, Cignot, the Widow simply can't keep 510 kits and parts in stock. If you're vaping air and getting a burnt taste on a 510 you're likely just power vaping the juice off the top of the cart and should either try a straw mod or up your nic level.

Freddo,

To quote a veteran ECFer who's no longer with us because he disagreed with a few mods:

The Golden Rule of ecigs: "The more it looks like a cigarette, the less it performs like one"

If you found one that breaks that rule, good for you.

Hi kent, the point of these cigs is for people to TRY. I want to get people to try the things rather than thinking 'ah, sounds like a really cool concept, but the 35pound price tag is a bit too hefty' and never purchasing any kind of PV. Being a seller of the 510(I LOVE IT) this tends to be the case with MANY people I have spoken to. Typcial conversation

person 'wow, what is that thing?'
me 'it's a personal vaporizer, a tobacco alternative with no combustion, thus no nasty chemicals etc..'
person 'sounds great how much are they?!'
me 'you can get a kit for around 35quid'
person 'wow, thats expensive, i'll think about it'

where as people are much more likely to be willing to purchase a 10pound model.

I see your concern 'this is going to put people of vaping as all super mini's are crap' However i disagree, I think this kit will give people the opportunity to take a closer look into vaping. Although battery life is relatively short in comparison to other devices, carts may not last as long as other larger, more expensive models etc, it is a good device, at least good enough for people to open their eyes and see this vaping business really could help them quit cigs. It is certainly not cheap junk. Trust me, if it was, I wouldn't be selling them!!! If they like the concept, they will go out and invest in a higher end model, i doubt they will ditch the whole idea once they have experience how e cigs can help. I think PV's are absolutely excellent inventions, and i just want to spread the word. I by no means want to sell people cheap junk and put them off!

Don't get me wrong, when my partner told me they were so cheap, i instantly thought, ah they're gonna' be rubbish i'm not gonna stock these. On receiving the sample, I was actually impressed. It wasn't AMAZINGLY good, but good enough to impress me. I think a video review is very much needed for this device, when i find my video cable, i'll post one up, i will be as honest as possible. Maybe this will give people a better insight into the device.

You guys REALLY think its a Smart idea to Buy Filled Carts from an Unknown supplier in China????

I understand right now most people are Getting Discount Nicotine Liquid from Companies in China...But there is NO Comparision between buying from someone like Dekang and just buying No name Nicotine solutions "Off the Street"

Would you buy Asprin that i made in my garage?

If the company i am dealing with cannot show me satisfactory reports on the fluids they use to fill the carts I WILL NOT be selling them with the kits. I will have to source similar carts from a reputable company. I am sure i can find a generic cart that fits these. I will begin investigating that as of NOW. thanks for raising this issue.
