Sure sounds like you've got a bit of a problem with my pic, would you complain if I used a photo showing my severe facial disfigurement? If you feel that you can't trust me following the independent reviews and comments from other members then that's cool, don't buy from someone you don't trust.
If I was a cynic I might suspect you are selling rival products, but even if that were true it's no problem in a free market. I'll just keep on keeping folk happy and the business takes care of itself, our sales figures, feedback and repeat customers tell me that we're doing things the right way.
I don't recollect ever claiming that the liquid in our cartridges (we don't sell it 'loose') was the best. I did question the view that if someone publishes a report it doesn't mean it's safe, as one member seemed to be of that opinion. The report clearly stated that certain changes to the compound and ingredients should be made, but the member seemed not to be concerned with that and seemed of the opinion that if it's tested it's okay. The report on our cartridges has been completed and the results were very good with far less ingredients than any other carts that we are aware of. Can you see it? No, not yet as it is commercially sensitive information due to the ingredients that we use - the carts are made to our specification. Try asking Coca-Cola for their recipe and see what they have to say. As for certificates, the only ones I have seen originate from China and are worthless, a bit like those degrees you can buy online. The same goes for some of their electrical equipment that has letters and numbers stating that it is compliant. I've seen one of their 'certified' chargers explode, literally. Needless to say we do not use products made by the company responsible.
Our company grew out of a much bigger mobility company that has been at the forefront of technological innovation in the mobility and conversion industry for 30 years. The company has been responsible for inventing, designing, building and testing numerous mobility aids from swivel seats to voice activated controls, all of which demand an extremely high level of reliability and safety. Intellicig also embodies those standards and aims to provide a reliable and safe product. Only long term testing will tell how safe e-cigs are, but as with countless number of things we eat, drink, consume, they will eventually be regulated.
We have already made substantially more than a few quick pounds and are here for the long term. We continue to invest in developing our products as we believe it is essential to ensure a sustainable future.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread and even spoke up for me and Intellicig, I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to check in.
The all black EVO is ready and should be despatched tomorrow for delivery late next week. We will also have the semi-disposable for Trade/bulk customers. Another option will be a shorter battery for the EVO. To pre-empt the question 'how come it costs more?', it's because we have tried to cram as much battery capacity as possible in a tiny space along with the microelectronics. It will only be a pound more than the standard EVO battery and still competitive with others on offer.
To all those who have bought an EVO or ordered one or will be ordering one, let me know who you are.
SuziQ, if you have ordered over the weekend it will be despatched tomorrow and you will have it before Christmas no problem, let me know who/where you are. You can email me on john 'at' intellicig.com or oldgitsuk 'at' dsl.pipex.com I don't use the @ symbol on here to avoid email address harvesters/spammers.
We will be extending our flavours as soon as possible. We could have them now but we want more control over quality and consistency. When they do materialise we will of course being offering trial packs. I appreciate the demand is there but we have built the company by trying to do things right first time and laying a firm foundation.
As a final note to anyone wondering whether to buy from me/Intellicig, look at the sellers who don't publish contact details and who make ambitious claims on their websites. We are open and honest and contactable, by email, by post or by telephone and I will spend time talking to anyone to ensure they are confident and happy buying from us. Ask any of the members on here who have called me, I could talk a glass eye to sleep!
God I need a drag now! Oh yes, topping up EVO carts is fine but they do absorb better and last longer if you leave then to stand for 10 minutes then add a few more drops and stand for half an hour on end with mouth hole downmost. Another quickie, when used heavily the carts might seem to dry up, but often they will respond to being rested for a while, after which they carry on producing vapour. From my days as a textile engineer I think this might have something to do with a process called moisture regain. I used to test yarn by weighing an exact length, drying it in a special cabinet, weighing it again, leaving it to stand in normal room temperature and humidity then weighing again. This test showed whether the supplier had sent the consignment damp to increase the weight. The dried yarn regained moisture from the atmosphere until it was back to normal. I think the carts might vapourise the water content quicker than the rest of the liquid causing the drying. When left the cart regains some water content.
Right, I'm off now, definitely.
Well almost.........found another unanswered question flicking through this thread. The company formed in August which is amazing considering how far we have come and the incredible rate at which we've grown. It's not my company in the ownership sense, I am just the poor sod who tries to keep the wheels oiled and be nice to people and 1001 other jobs! My card says 'Business Development', I call it good fun!
Cheers.
John.
