Well perhaps you should contact some distributor companies in the UK then? But you aren't interested in webshops? That seems extraordinary considering the dubious legal status of the product.

I mean I'd be surprised if retail chains touched you with a barge pole.

Good luck though.


Lol Smokey- you said what I was thinkin- thatnks :)

I did post this on another thread yesterday but I do feel it's well-suited here sorry for the double posting.

Below is what I said and has no reflection on my personal dealings with green cig and no favouritism must be presumed.



Today people have seemed to be quite unsure regarding green cig and who they are but I can reassure people that they are all kosher and legit.
As I have personally been having business telephone conversations with them in the last few days.




Their aim is to try and bring green cig into the UK but mainly in the mainstream of things rather than Internet but there will be a Internet site.
It will be aimed more at the retail market. Shops/ stores/ businesses etc.
More like as you would see the top brands websites where you only see janty. N joy. Sedansa etc only for sale on their own sites not mixed up with suppliers selling all sorts . Whether that will change I don't know. As I think they want to have a more prestige look.
They are a US invested company with a manufacturing plant in China.






So this is all good for us as for spreading the word into the mainstream. I feel this must go this way as it is at present to Internet-based which that is all right but it needs to get out there for people to accept and get used to because at the moment it's only people like ourselves that showing a man on the street what we have.

I'm doubtful as to the success of either strategy - the "bringing it into the mainstream via prestige website/retail stores" or the "showing it to the man on the street" strategies.

See, this is a unique product that has no parallels in marketing history. As has been covered many times on this board, the e-cig occupies very shaky legal ground, and just hammering it into the marketplace could be very detrimental. Just remember the backlash from big-pharma and tobacco is likely to be very strong as soon as the e-cig hits mainstream market - and they will have the law on their side. I mean could you really hope for more powerful and devious enemies than big pharma and tobacco?!

I think Greencig's strategy is a good one for saying goodbye to e-cigs forever. The road to evil is paved with good intentions.

The alternative, of course, is for the sellers, manufacturers and users to unite and actually campaign for the e-cig to be licensed and regulated.

But probably too much like hard work, eh?

By the way, this phrase doesn't really fill me with reassurance: "I can reassure people that they are all kosher and legit.
As I have personally been having business telephone conversations with them in the last few days."

Can you explain yourself a little?

As a businessman it would be unprofessional of me to discuss personal conversations
And I hope you will respect my wishes and reasons.
I only mentioned this in the first place because I felt like green cig had just entered the lions den and I tried to explain a little where green cig aim to go with this.

Ned, you've been running down LoongTotem in every post you make, shaming Nazareth for being so foolish as to order one, countering VIDEOS from Mixos showing the LoongTotem in action. You even ran down the Janty Kissbox, the best e-cig on the market now. It was ... suspicious behavior, in my mind, and I was puzzled. Until now.

Now you tell us you've been developing a business relationship with GreenCig, but "it would be unprofessional" to discuss conversations with GreenCig.

I'll never trust another post you make.

Uh oh. Thanks for being so observant T-Bob. I missed that too. :( I didn't eat any bad lobster, but I do have an injured paw.

I was at excited about this at first. But the more I read and research, the less I want the G400.

I'm not so sure about anything from GreenWorld Technologies (aka GreenWorld Inhalers) at this time considering the suspicious "FDA approval" claim.

LOL, Karen, I'm laughing so hard now, your reason for editing: "I don't know".
