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

What the .... have any af you checked the prices on carts and kits? What happend?

they have realized their mistake in pricing them the same as their old mini and put the mistake right..

e cig seem to use the copy and paste function a lot.. when u dont understand the language of the stuff u are working with.. mistakes are easy to make and hard to spot..

anybody that expected to get a complete atomizer in a cartridge for just over 50 cents had to be dreaming.. they are still very cheap for what they are..

Very cheap yes, but with so many people having hteir orders held up for so long, it's a shame that ecig is the only place selling htese other than the highway robbers at LoongTotem. Several times I've almost clicked the pay button only to recall al the shipping delays peopel are having and hte lame excuses about 'heavy policing' at customs- I've order a couple of times from LoongTotem during hte Olympics and never had any delay at all with very fast shipping, but I'm really put off from ordering fro mECig- shame really, as I'm quite curious about those mini ciggs beign liek Loongtotem's or not

how badly the olympics messes the shipping up depends where the place is.. but the chinese government literally shut all the industry down around the beijing area and possibly wider.. the reason was nice clean air and no pollution being seen on the worlds TV screens.. parts of china are "smog city" they aint keen on showing this to the world..

but crap products apart i have never had any shipping problems with e-cig.. my last two cartridge orders arrived okay in a couple of weeks..

come on dudes be bloody brave and buy one.. he he he he

i note they dont seem to have any spare part batteries listed yet..

ps.. their automated selling system works okay.. direct communication with them dosnt work at all.. i dont think they have anyone that speaks english.. he he he

Can't believe it I just got order from E-cig in 6 days??!! How did they do that? Just don't get the mailing from china, still waiting for some orders from 8/25, then others come in 6 days. Go figure

with EMS express shipping from china to the UK.. it takes a day to go thru chinese customs.. a couple of days on the airplane.. two or three days to get thru UK customs.. a day for royal mail to deliver.. thats seven days on the move on average..

with free airmail postage from dealextreme its a day to get on the plane.. two days to get to the UK and one day for royal mail to deliver to my door.. thats four days on the move..

add to this the time it takes em to process the order.. but airmail is quicker than express.. it seem to miss customs at both ends.. odd but its the way it is in the UK..

i used to pay for express now i know better..

Doh! so you get 84 carts 2 batteries 1 wall charger and 1 usb charger for $155.75 +~$20 now. wondering if i bought them before would they have honoured the order...doubt it. called them earlier to chat but all you to hear is rolf harris' version of fur elise before you are cut off, but it was the middle of the night in china so i hope to have better luck when i try lata!

just to compare prices with loong: on a similar kit: 1 batt kit(50carts) + 1 batt + 30 carts + usb

102.55(1 batt kit + 52 carts)
+ 40.50 (30 carts)
+ 29.95 (1 extra batt)
+ 15.95 (1 usb charger) =

188.95 + $80(at least 4 shipping) = $268.95

so $155 -ship against $189 -ship
or $179 total against $269 total

I still pay for express. What am I missing? The first order I made I was cheap and sent it the cheapest way. Still waiting on that order two months later. Guess they sent it by slow boat LOL. Express usually takes a week to 10 days depending on how fast they process the order.

I got some over-priced samples from Loong Totem, 2 out of 3 actually worked. They swear the v-7 is totally original...Blah Blah Blah, But it's stamped DSE 101 al over it...
So, I just keep Loading my cartridges with liquid... cause that's the only way to get my moneys worth out of them...1 cartridge has lasted over a month. I let them know 1 didn't work, but I wouldn't pay the reshipping charge. I'm still waiting for the replacement..LOL

got this mail back from e-cig to a couple of queries. i asked whether all the colours and flavours were actually in stock and ready for sale. I also asked about the voltage of their batteries.

thanks for your calling, and you email for me, some answer as following:

1)the color and flavours of the NM are available.

2)the voltage of the batteries? are they 3.7~4V.

but need to tell you, maybe we can send you the NM next week, because there are so many order will be shipped out. sorry for that.

thanks & B.Rdgs

cavere maybe

We are waiting for the OEM batteries coming, so that there was the delay for shipping. Very sorry for the inconvenience. We will get the batteries after tomorrow and ship to you ASAP.
