The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

[tribalmasters]

I remember concidering trying one, I guess I am lucky that I am slow and ponder too much and then I read how everyone is waiting an eternity for them to arrive and decided not to order hehe! We have some brave people on this forum, I am not one of them hehehe!

 

[tribalmasters]

Nicowolf I like your avatar, I can't decide if its a very trendy (and hopefully out ) guy or girl hehe!

 

[Soot]

Too right Trog!

Every time I think the thread has finished it pops back up again. I'm sometimes guilty of thinking posts come from the Lazarus book of marketing.

No harm - for every time a spin doctor posts the truth will out.

BTW Trog - have you got the order you made months ago? No? Me too!

I think we need to register as new members - they get a far better service .

 

[tribalmasters]

ahh but your the guys who help the n00bs out! Why it could end up in an endless loop! You could post newbie questions and you would answer yourself and then you would wonder about space and time and 'what ifs' and how the ecig fits in with the universe and the meaning of life! Its 42 I think but I can't guarantee it

 

[Soot]

Tribal - you're absolutely right. It's all too clever for me, my brain is short-circuiting and I need put out of my misery. Shoot me!

I'm happy to stay sentry on this thread. A lot of people read this forum. If the forum is to have credibility it will be through earning credibility by challenging self-contradictory marketing. Whether Faux was paid to do this or whether Faux was just stupid doesn't matter to me. If legit - I'm sure the very humane and sensitive group of stockbrokers Faux works with will soon have restored any self esteem I might have deflated.

I'm not loosing sleep on this and will respond to posts made here that might encourage people to do business with e-cig.com. Visitors and members should know that this company will charge you - but not deliver. Those who want to excuse this FACT are welcome to respond. Each time they do they give new life to a thread that identifies e-cig.com to be operating on a fraudulent basis.

FAUXPUFF ... Time out time buddy ... If you wish to rejoin, please make sure to keep a cool head. See ya next month bud.

Faux's status (and that of the other's accused of being roaches) now says "Banned". You'll see if you scroll back through this thread and look in that area along the left of the page where the members' info is displayed.

I have no desire to continue this drama. I just want to remind everyone to exercise a little caution in labeling someone as a roach. Try to remain fair.

I should also have put in my original post that Faux got heated easily and really could have tempered his anger too. He packed up his toys and went home several times, only to return and escalate his anger.

I do see both sides, but Faux isn't here to read my thoughts.

I think it is our duty to warn over e-cig. Although I hadn't ordered the mini I had other issues with them that only resolved a couple of days ago. What I cannot understand is why they changed from being a reasonable supplier to a complete scam in a relatively short space of time.

The really annoying thing is I wanted that e-cig, it's promise of a long cart life was very attractive. I'm certainly not going to order from loong.

 

[Soot]

ok, I will withdraw from this forum. I am a stockbroker, dealing exclusively with tax-free municipal bonds. Not to "loose" people money (which is mispelled, idiot, it's "lose") So thanks for the GROSS STEREOTYPING guys, you are all f**king idiots you can all choke on your little electric phalluses as far as I am concerned. I have never been so insulted on a forum in all my life, and you guys all have WAY too much time on your hands. Trog, you should change your vocation, as you are spreading disease through fellacio, and soot, you should charge more for letting homeless people f**k you in the **s, it is a dangerous profession. F**K ALL YOU, EVERYONE, and you are very welcome for the review I wrote, hope it was informative. A WASTE OF AIR ALL OF YOU!

Hmmm - it does seem that Faux got a yellow card. On a personal point I thought Faux's point laughable. I can't speak for Trog.

Those who manage this site made this decision. I don't disagree with it - Faux was making foul mouthed lies and a line has to be drawn somewhere. They didn't do it on my behalf. Perhaps they thought posts here would deal with substance and not be gratiuously offensive.

I'm thick skinned and very stubborn. I'm happy to keep attention on e-cig.com. But - I don't have money invested in this as a business. I'm a "user" and focus my efforts on not smoking.

Fly by night, one thread self contradictory posters do me no harm. That the forum has taken a broader view isn't suprising. I'm sure Faux knew his/her post would be the last.

Good ridance.

You are absolutely right, Pete. I don't know if you've noticed yet, but Kate has started a new thread in the Review section about problem suppliers and manufacturers. She wants everyone to post cautions and warnings there so that noobs can find the cautions sooner.

I thank the fates with every puff that I found and lurked this forum for a while before purchasing my first e-cig. My first reaction after finding this technology that sounded too good to be true was to want to purchase the cheapest one I could find just to prove to myself that I wasn't missing anything and that quitting smoking really was hopeless. It would probably have been the Health E-cigarette I saw on ebay or a super mini from e-cig.com. You all enlightened me and gave me the honest reviews I so desparately needed.

I feel bad for all of you who sent your money to these guys hoping for the ultimate in e mini-cigs and have received nothing but broken English and broken promises. Trog has the right idea, quit expecting it to arrive and be happy with it if it ever does appear. I think e-cig.com has years of work to do before they will be ready to supply the world with the cheap e cigs it so desparately demands. They need better language translation first and foremost because they cannot provide acceptable customer service until they can communicate with us. I have more ideas but I gotta run, Mom's outside waiting for me. TTFN

There seems to be still no/few reviews of the new mini-cig. Is it still not shipping, or do people just not trust e-cig.com to buy it? I just noticed on loongtotem's site that they claim to have improved the battery with "Automatical protection" and say they will also be releasing a new "solid-liquid cartridge." Hehe, sounds hi-tech! http://www.loongtotem.com/index.php?gOo=article_details.dwt&articleid=35 I' think I'll hold out for a Fantastimatical battery and a gas-solid-liquid state cartridge.

 

[Soot]

Jarvis - improvement comes after delivery. There is no delivery from this company - apart from newly registered members.

I think you should start a new thread on the "solid-liquid cartridge" I already have questions about it.

PS - Let me know if you ever find the "Fantastimatical battery and a gas-solid-liquid state cartridge" I'd want them also

your not wrong there jarvis. looks like this one has the fuction to protect the mos-tube which is in charged of the power switch, and to avoid overlord and broken too. Awsome!!

 

[Soot]

DC - I'm sure you'd something to say - but I've no idea what you said! Translator please!?

 

[dc2k08]

i was talking about the new loong batteries soot. the new ones have the function to protect the mos-tube which is in charged of the power switch. the older ones didnt have this function. also this will help them avoid overlord and broken too. quite the technological breakthrough i would say.

"Resellers unknown to us previously on the forum are also potentially scammers. It just doesn't make sense to me that ecig.com shipped a load to Canada and not single kits to regulars."

Hey Kate, i just wanted to reassure you that i am not a scammer, I have just started a business selling ecigs. Our business name is Tabinta Electronic Cigarettes. I am not sure why they shipped my order and not the regulars, i was not even aware they were known as a bad company unitil i joined the forum.

I will have a website up in the next couple weeks for anyone to check out. I have 8 starter kits left if anyone wanted to try one out.

 

[Kate]

Sorry to make it sound like I'm accusing you Tabinta, I deliberately didn't suggest this on your ad on the suppliers board because it's only fair to let people make their own minds up.

There has been a lot of controversy over these ecigs and it's hard to strike a balance between being fair to consumers and being heavy handed with new members.

I'm sure you'll agree that we should be careful about buying things from people we don't know on the internet. I'm not trying to disrupt genuine business, I hope yours is one and as such won't suffer because of ecig.com's bad reputation.

Again, apologies, I hope you are genuine and business goes well for you.

...my long awaited (though not as long as some) new mini e-cig finally arrived

First impressions - Smooth - plenty of vapour - not much throat hit.

I ordered high strength regular tabacco flavor carts and I certainly was not getting the hit I expected from high stength. I pulled off the silicon plug from the cart and dripped a little of Smoksters 'British Bulldog' juice on to the filling and let it sit for a while - this was better - more of a kick and still the copious amounts of vapour. Hopefully when the cart starts getting wimpy I'll be able to refill it with some decent juice like BB and get a real kick.

The draw is really good - just a gentle suck is needed to activate the battery so no sore cheeks and it's easy to hold in your mouth so great for driving.

I've been puffing away on the same cart for 3 hours and it's still producing tons of vape - I'd have had have dripped a 901 cart several times over by now so this is looking good.

The batteries are the same size (but different thread) as 901 bats so they should last about the same time between charges.

I ordered green carts and black batteries so they would not look like normal cigs - saves problems when vaping in pubs - as you can see I got white batteries - can't e-cig.com get any order right

Were they worth the wait - I think so - if I can get the kick I want by refilling the carts and the atomizers in the carts last a decent time they may become my favourite smoke

 

[leaford]

This is good news. I'll have to scrape up some money and put my order in.

 

[trog100]

i would second the fact the product seems to work okay.. but it needs more than this to consider it worth buying for anything together than a review...

question one... do e cig have enough parts available to guarantee reasonable delivery...

question two... spare parts will be needed can e cig supply them with reasonable delivery..

question three... should people buy from e cig at all taking into account their past reputation for none existent communications and taking money for something they cannot supply in a reasonable fashion...

my take is simple.. we now know the product works okay.. but thats all we know..

my last comment on the issue..
