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

you two are idiots. when you get yours you will be happy to know that i am right. i can't believe the bashing I'm taking over trying to help. this was my first post because nothing else was worth writing about. soot, trog i hope all your atomizers burn out, all your batteries short and all your liquid spills. the road to hell is paved with good intentions. out.

I'm happy to be an idiot in possession of my money. Surprisingly it's these 2 that are soon parted. I'm even happy with being called a half-idiot - or half-wit, if you prefer. I did after all make an order with this company!

Faux, if all you've found to post about in 6 months is on this topic then that is of course your choice. Again - I'm back to feathers, quacks and ducks.

The disadvantage of posting is that it brings the thread back up to member attention. Of course this will have no impact on you. You possess one of the few deliveries made by e-cig.com and you will be off happily vaping "somewhere". Fair enough.

I wonder how many other "members" joined the forum months ago to just post on one topic?

Why no location Faux? Why only one topic? Why only one e-cig?

Go off and huff and sulk if you want. Tell me you've an address in Ireland and I'll visit you to say "Hi" but - that isn't your form is it?

I wonder why? I wonder why every time a member raises an issue with e-cig.com a sleeping roach awakes.

me, I don't think faux-puff is a plant. although she joined in may, she has explained that she never posted until november as is noted in the history, the reason being that she had no need to. most people do lurk forums.

as the topic of e-cig's mini came up and having received hers, she decided to chime in. i see nothing untoward with regard to her posts and i think her review was fair. if she was an e-cig plant, you would notice a garbled grasp of english and a lot of very unsubtle praising as has been seen with Loong totem's various aliases over the course of this forum.

in short, i think faux-puff has been slighted and you are flaming up the wrong tree. but as cash says, this is just my $.02

Thanks for the link Kate - I'd picked it up earlier but it's good to have it on this thread too. I'm not sure how many people use WOT but it seems a good idea.

WOT won't deal with forum roaches - that's up to members. Posting complaints or challenges needs to be done here. Perhaps Faux is not Faux but perhaps he/she is taking the piss and adding insult to injury.

There's no way of setting up a court of law on a forum (unfortunately). I'll check out WOT but that doesn't absolve the site from being a major point of advice on e-cigs. The site's value is in what its members post. This does not sit easily with the same site providing links to unscrupulous suppliers. If the site can't blacklist - it can at least respond to its member posts and move suppliers to a "swamp and bad smell" heading.

You might want to consider asking Smokey Joe to remove the e-cig.com link in the supplier's thread, that would remove forum 'endorsement'. Put a post about in on the help board and see what others think, it may not be clear cut.

I don't really want to get involved with your gripe with Faux, that wasn't my intention in posting here. I hear what you're saying but, I'm sorry, to me it seems highly probable that Faux is genuine. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt for now, these sort of situations can lead to unpleasant witch hunts that hurt innocents.

Can I ask DC - have you placed an order with e-cig.com?

nope, i own a loong and i supect the NM1 is the same. i even suspect they are just bulk-ordering from loong and reselling them at a slightly lower cost. their choice of flavours and cart colours leads me to believe this as it is identical to loongs OEM list.

trog went ahead and ordered one so i figured i would wait for his verdict. i sent him over a loong battery so he should be able to tell. i was tempted, mind, but after a couple of weeks went by and nobody was getting confirmation, i decided there was no way i was going to be playing that game. e-cig already had a low-low expectation.

Loong probably gave them that list of flavours and colours without clarifying the large quantity they would need in order for loong to get them into production, so they then started collecting orders until they did. they never collected enough orders to full-fill all the different selections people had made so now you see people only being given the NM1 with what-ever flavour and in what-ever colour and being happy they at least received something.

OK Kate - I'm not concerned about a witch-hunt and perhaps I'm wrong about Faux. I'd not like to be responsible for denying the site diversity and perhaps Faux registered with the site 6 months ago to report on "her" great experience a week ago.

I guess it's part of the problem with an e-forum. You really don't know who you're dealing with and trust is built by communication and delivery.

But - I'm not alone here - several members have ordered from e-cig.com and none but a few fly-by "members" have reported receipt. That Faux has receipt is remarkable. It's remarkable she'd nothing to say for those 6 months until she got her mini e-cig that no legit forum member has received. It's remarkable she'd no comment to make on other threads where comparison and mods would have been relevant.

I can't say I'm happy with your response here Kate. It's easy be "correct" - but in this case you are ignoring reported member experiences. You need to put Faux's comments in that context. Your trust in Faux's veracity sets aside the reports of non-delivery from e-cig.com from other members. Do you not believe them?

I'm not saying I trust or distrust anyone Soot, I'm merely saying that to me her posts look credible. Everyone makes up their own mind and you have voiced your doubts for them to be taken into account when they do.

What do you mean about being 'correct'? I don't see the need to take sides in an unnecessary battle that you choose to start. You don't need to attack to get your views taken seriously. If you have a point and you present it with respect it still comes across, we all have a voice here.

Whatever you expect from me is a mystery to me, maybe you could tell me how I could help you to feel more secure on the forum?

"her posts look credible"? Well - sure, that's your call.

"I don't see the need to take sides" - fine too.

"in an unnecessary battle that you choose to start". Hmmm

So I started reporting that e-cig.com wasn't delivering. Ms Faux just pops up with a delivery while several members who post regularly have got nothing. OK Kate - you believe "her" if you want.

"Whatever you expect from me is a mystery to me, maybe you could tell me how I could help you to feel more secure on the forum?"

This kind of patronization I thought beneath someone who normally has sensible things to say.

they havnt sent me any notification of shipping.. i am still waiting.. did i read this right.. ned has his..???

also i think i have been very kind to e-cig.. i certainly aint witch hunting..

trog

Trog I never ordered this new disposable copy off e-cig because I've been waiting for others to buy and review first for a change as I am sick of blowing a load of money on a pile of crap.


We did make an order a while back and waited probably a couple of months to receive the goods. I don't know how long this had taken exactly as Miss Diane is in bed at present and she does the paperwork but we had ordered over $600 worth of goods which was frustrating with the amount of money we have spent. We sent endless e-mails and live chat and eventually we did receive shipping confirmation.


The goods arrived all safely there was only one mistake on the order which was a cigarette case . which I ordered pretty much all of their range of cases to try. So I wasn't going to make a fuss over a few dollars it wasn't worth shaking a stick at .what I was very disappointed in the quality of their goods and probably will never ever order again in less they have something so spectacular which I doubt we'll ever happen.
 
I have ordered twice from e-cig.com, My first shipment took 35 days, i was not impressed. But, once i eventually recieved my new mini-cig i was impressed with the thickness of the vapour. I have not tried anyother e-cigarette, but i have watched videos of other products and they did not look near the thickness of vapour. I have not had trouble contacting them though MSN. The customer service is not the best, but i can imagine they dont understand english the best.

I am hoping to start a small business selling e-cigarettes in Canada. I decided to try out 20 new mini-cigs starter kits, let friends and family buy them and give me their feedback.I do have 20 new mini-cigs in stock if anyone was interested in trying one out.

I am not aure if i am going to use e-cig.com as a supplier. Does anyone know a gooc company that supplies the mini-cigs with the atomizer/cartridge?

Thank you.:thumb:

there you go trog and soot: THAT'S what a real roach looks and smells like! so leave me alone. "tried out $900.00 worth of a product I have never tried" sure. "have plenty in stock if you guys are inetrested" see? That is what you guys think I am, and I am glad that you guys can now compare me to Tabinta, so it's over...

well i dont know if fauxpuff is genuine or not...but her posts read differently from the usual chinglish of past fakers on this site...just an observation...

either way,anyone whos ordered will find out soon enough...and anyone who orders now after reading all the problems outlined on this thread on the strength of one semi positive review would be an idiot anyway...so i dont think overreaction is necessary..

ecig.com shouldnt be advertising this for sale when its not ready for shipping,but we are aware of that now... if youve already ordered,then you have two choices-wait and see,or contact your credit card company for a refund...

if you know anything about this company,then youll know their service is dreadful,theres no communication,and it can take months to get anything from them-even from their established stock...and since June they should be avoided if possible,because since then theyve been really messed up big time...

and if someone doesnt know that,then theyre either very new to this game,or have not researched the forum properly...there are plenty of warnings on this site and others about dealing with them...
 
Sorry FauxPuff i am not a "roach", i am a college student from London, Ontario, Canada. I Have ordered 20 units and i did recieve them. I dont know why i would lie. Truth is i didnt do my research before i ordered, i just found ecig on the net and they were cheap so i ordered. Now i have came across this site and read all the negative feedback i am probably not going to order from them again. I have read about the disputes between you and some others, dont try and involve me, i dont really care if you genuine or not. Thanks.
