Newbie says Hi and looking for a shop in the US

[Napkin]

Hi guys,

I'd like to say Hi and introduce myself a bit: I'm living in Germany and I started vaporing about 50 days ago. I completely quit smoking and I'm very happy about that! I bought a few devices in the mean-time and they are all quite nice. My favorite currently is the Janty NEO, even though I've had a bit of trouble already with broken batteries.

Now my mother (64) told my aunt (60, living in Florida, smoking for a long time) about her e-cigarettes (yeah, I managed to convince both of my parents to switch to vaporing ), and now she's getting curious. She said she tried a e-cig a few years ago, but it sucked back then. Probably one of those very early models.

I would like her to try a Joyetech 510-T with automatic batteries (preferably 1 of those with 340mAh) and some e-juice with 50/50 PG/VG (at least not Dekang) - but I'm running into trouble finding a good & reliable shop where she could order online, that offers automatic batteries, the desired liquid and empty tanks (I think pre-filled is a bad idea).

Could anyone help me out?

Thank you very much!

Marc

Check the suppliers forums here.. there's lots of good reliable vendors here. What makes you want an auto batt? I, personally, prefer the manual batts, feel like I have more control over the hit. I bought my kGo from Virgin Vapors and am extrememly happy with it. It's bigger than those slim style ecigs, but it's fabulous! One toot from this thing, and you'd never go back to an analog.. just my 2cents!

I don't deal with vendors who ship offshore, but I do know that Welcome to MadVapes LLC does a lot of business in Europe.

E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings in England is also an option. Click the UK location link at the top of the page to make sure you are on the British site.

Both are reliable vendors.

Wow, welcome and I think you are remarkable for getting your aunt to even consider trying again!! I'll echo luvinit's post by recommending the vendors who are ecf approved. Clicky the forum suppliers and you will be taken to an entire world of website links! Good luck and great job switching yourself!

 

[Napkin]

Thank you for your replies!

I'm happy too, that she's willing to try again I found the suppliers sub-forum, but I have to admit that I got lazy after unsuccessfully checking the first 6 suppliers (which had the most threads) - so I thought I'll ask you guys. On the bright side, my uncle already found a shop and ordered there. No 340mAh, but ok - he took 3x 220mAh instead

@luvinit: Well, switching to a e-cig is already a lot of change. It seems like many people (especially if older) have an easier time doing so if they don't have to "search for the button every time" (quote). Sooner or later she will hopefully switch a stronger device - even though the tiny 510-T produces an amazing amount of vapor and throat hit already.

I will give you a suggestion although I also believe many of the suppliers can give her a good start.
G6 Basic Starter Kit - G6 E-Cig
Halo E-Liquid Sample Pack

It is a good one stop!

 

[bushmasterar15]

Welcome to the ECF.

 

[Napkin]

Awesome, the sample liquid pack sounds like a great idea!

And thank you for the welcome

 

[nansc]

Welcome to the forum.

 

[Napkin]

Thank you, nansc

@player30: I'm a bit confused, though. The G6 is with cartomizers/cotton and their Element E-Cig is the one with atomizer/tanks (510-T), right? Apart from that - they have awesome names for liquids I will pass this on definitely. Thanks again!

Are you looking for a shop that ships to Germany, or to your Grandmother in Florida?

For someone new to vaping, you can't beat Cignot.com
They have all the genuine Joytech 510 starter kits, as well as the eGo/riva Kits.
Vicki is very helpful, especially with newbies.
You can get your juice and empty cartomizers there as well.
You probably don't want to make Grandma deal with atomizers and cartridges.
The whole shop is set up to be Newbie Friendly.

Hello and welcome!
Since you are happy with Janty's NEO, there is also a Janty USA webstore and they do have (I believe ) 510-T PV's, they just call them Jets...

 

[Napkin]

@Sailorman: I was looking for a shop in the US, so my aunt (61) could order a 510-T there. But her husband was faster and found a shop already Thanks for the suggestion, though (and any further that may come) - I'll bookmark everything. There is always something more to order or to test, when it's about vaping, it seems ;-)

@FaniFox: Yeah, I did check Janty USA webstore but they seemed to be out of automatic batteries. If my aunt really likes vaping and found flavors that she likes, I think a Janty NEO with automatic battery could be the next step for her.

Thank you, guys!

 

[FaniFox]

You are welcome!
Another web store I really love and has great CS and sealed auto batteries is this one:

Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarettes | Wholesale Electronic Cigarettes | E-Cigarette | Best Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarette

Maybe you want to also check it out...

BTW, how are things with nic. ban in Germany?

 

[Napkin]

I was about to say "don't get me started", but since you asked ;-)

Nothing definite yet. Some Dr. med. from a local ministry decided on her own that liquids with nicotin have to be considered a drug to be sold only in drug-stores (of course, after years of analysis), even though she has no authority to decide/declare something like that, and even though that's totally contrary to what european court of law has said in the past. This also caused a few cases of impoundment of liquids imported from China and three reported house searches of shops.

In my opinion the state (afraid of loss in taxes) and the tobacco industry (for the obvious reasons) are causing FUD on purpose. Unfortunately, the main-stream media is quite biased towards them.

Anyways, many, many shops (and there are a lot!) are continuing business as usual, thankfully. I am quite optimistic that vaping will prevail - like in many other countries around the world!

How's it going in greece?

 

[FaniFox]

Exactly the same minus the Doc.med but plus a secretary from the ministry who claims the same as your med dr. says
You are right about the loss in taxes...It's all about the money - as always!
Many shops also here, customs refusing import of nic.containing products from USA and China also...

 

[azvike]

You can't go too wrong with Madvapes. Great selection and prices. Personally, I think the smaller batteries are a waste of money. I burned through a bunch of 510's before getting the Ego setup. Now I'm vaping instead of charging. And I agree with most here, the manual batteries are preferable, but each to their own.

 

[Napkin]

Well, I looked at madvapes section about 510s.. and, glad my uncle didn't get caught there! Quite confusing, even for me. Okok, I'm a newbie - but I haven't yet figured out which of those are with tanks or with cartomizers :-O

Anyways, he ordered here in the end. Hope that wasn't too bad a choice.

Thanks again!

 

[azvike]

I wish I would have come here before starting my vaping journey. Probably would have saved a small fortune. But then again, maybe not.

Hi -

I hope your aunt ended up getting the Ego-T. That's what I use, and I couldn't be happier. I got it with 1000 mah batteries, from esmokeronline. Those guys are great, and you can actually talk to a real person. Ask for Tim.

Ditto on not getting an automatic battery. I like the simplicity and reliability of the manual, plus being able to precisely control the "burn". Not even sure of you can get an Ego-T in automatic, but maybe so. Again, even if you can, I wouldn't.
