My first order of liquid was from lightinthebox. I bought two 50ml 18mg bottles apple and menthol. It was something like $16 delivered. Great deat and loved the liquid it's all gone now. Yep, I liked it enough to vape every last drop. Mine was about two weeks as well, it showed up a week before my kit did. I would order from them again anytime.

The order with my $9 e-cig has been sitting in customs for two weeks now. There is not supposed to be and nic in the cartridges that comes with it so I assumed it would be no problem.

2010/04/14 16:32 MISSISSAUGA International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

I am actually more concerned about the rest of the order as I just ordered the e-cig because I was ordering other stuff. Can I contact customs or Canada post to see what the problem is?

My DX order sat in customs for almost a week and it did arrive with no nic liquid in it, I think its just laziness, lol. As Can_Supplier had mentioned in a different thread, when ordering outside the country, I took his advice and only ordered what I could afford to lose. Keep us posted :)

Peace!!!

And dont forget to check out the 905ish, 601ish, and 510ish "looking" devices they now carry! Its about time they carry something besides crap PV`s.

I wouldn't worry too much, yet, especially if you're using the standard free airmail. All my DX e-cigs have taken at least 4 weeks, while batteries and cables seem to get here in 2. Don't give up hope yet!


I order from dx all the time. The trick for them is to have at least one bulk order i.e 3 mini lightsabre led keychains (who can have enough) and use the bulk code to upgrade to registered airmail. For $1.70 you get it much faster. I have often get stuff in less then two weeks. The place I order from this time did not have that option.

Well I just got in my $11 e-cig from DX. It's this one:

DealExtreme: $11.26 Quit Smoking USB Rechargeable Electronic Cigarette with 5-Refills

So far it looks like much higher quality than the other DX models I've got. Going to charge it up and give it a go tonight then I'll report back!

Also got in one of the Q510 disposables from Heavens Gift. Nice little unit! I may give it to a coworker to give to her husband.

edited to add:

Just unwrapped it and here are a couple quick picks. It's not apparent really from the photo but I'm quite impressed with the build quality, and especially the atty. Looks as good as any 510 I've bought. Same with the battery, nicely finished and solid. I got three puffs out of it before the battery died (it's charging now) and I was impressed with the vapor so far, and incredibly enough, the prefilled cartridge (marlboro high) actually tasted good!

The cartridges themselves are a bit different than the normal, foil covered DX ecigs I've got. They are a standard cartridge with polyfill and eliquid, no foil covering.

Now I can't wait for this thing to charge so I can give it a real try out!

My $8 e-cig died today, its only had about four full days of use (will never replace the Ego but fun to tinker with) and the battery died. I will say that I screwed it on my 510 mega carger and it fit but it never seemed to stop charging and thats probably what killed it (oops) regardless, I do have a few more coming in just for fun and will be different models so Ill report then.

Still a great deal IMHO.

My $10 e-cig finally made it through customs after 26 days!!!

According to Canada Post it went out for delivery this morning in Scarborough. Unfortunately I don't live in Scarborough :confused:
... that's because by buddy who works in the post office has re-routed it through NS first. It will get there ;)

No package arrived today. Hopefully CP have now established I don't live in Scarborough.

lol, I doubt you would want this package most of the stuff I ordered was for children between the ages of 3 and 7. Only the $10 e-cig was for me.

If anyone sees Switched with the hello kitty accessory I order for my daughter let me know!!

Well I got my package yesterday compete with some customs tape on the package and on the e-cig case itself. They also opened the extra pack of carts I had ordered with it. There was some reference to examining it under the food and drug act on the label. All the carts have tin foil on them and does not appear that they opened any of them and I don't think any are missing.

The pack itself tells me that smoking is bad for me but these e-cigs are healthy for me. There are two prongs that slide out from the bottom of the pack so you can charge it up while the battery is screwed into the pack. The e-cig itself is automatic with an atty that is fully exposed when the cart is not on. It is pointy at the end to push through the tin foil on the carts. It seems about the size of an analog maybe shorter.

Tried it out and it does produce a decent amount of vapor. Pretty much no throat hit. I think it was a marlboro flavour but it also tasted a little like plastic to me. I suppose if I was still on the anologs I might not have tasted the plastic.

I have never tried an e-cig with a light on the end until this one. I found it awkward to see the light while drawing on it. I could angle it in my mouth to see the light but found this to feel unnatural. Since there was no throat hit I was not always sure it was working until I exhaled. I tired to drip onto the atty to see if it was better but it did not seem to have a wick. Plus since the bridge is fully exposed it tends to just roll of the side if you add more then a drop.

If this was my first e-cig I think I would have tried it for a day or so and gone back to the anologs. Only good thing about it, ordering it lead me to this forum and discovering what e-cig really were about.
