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

[Nazareth]

hmmmm.... then the description doesn't make sense...

New MiniCig, Type NM1
Basic Package includes:
* 1 Atomizer
* 2 batteries
* 1 Charger
* 4 Cartridges
* 1 USB charger
* 1 Manual

1 atomizer and 4 cartridges? that doesn't seem to equal loong totem's all in 1 atomizer/cart. Perhaps, its just a smaller mini.

Would be interesting to see if the batteries fit though. Sounds like Naz and Ned need to see

Tyhat's exactly how the Ebay one was- in the pictures and on the blurb it said atomizer in cart- then on the order page, it gave the same "1 atomizer, 2 batteries' etc

Hate to buy from ecig though- as their shipments seem to get lost or stopped for months- but if their batteries are cheap- that's all I'll really need-- but just our luck though the threads will be just slightly different than loong's

 

[Mr.Darcy]

yeah its a bit confusing that....but i could tell pretty much straight away that the ebay one was a yentl copy just by looking at it...
i really think this might be an LT clone...well,a disposable cart/atomiser ecig at any rate...

its cheap enough and offers enough flavour variety and nicotine strength to be interesting...
i just hope its a better product than the usual junk minis offered by ecig.com and dealex...

 

[leaford]

Or totally worthless, like the E-Pack.

 

[Nazareth]

i guess i gotta check it out- for $38 bucks- for 2 batteries, meh- maybe I'll give it a shot- if the cartridges are crap- can always buy the loong carts if they fit.- their description sure sounds liek it's the same thing

 

[Nazareth]

there ya go TBob- now ya can try the loongtotem for alot less $$ from E-Cig

 

[leaford]

I'm considering trying it too, but I'll let Naz be the first suck- um, I mean, reviewer.

No, wait, sucker's exactly what I meant.

 

[trog100]

i'm fairly close to the pay button too trog, kinda just hoping to get a response to a query i mailed them, just to know someones there. hoping i can get a combination of flavours in the cart order. been itchin too try licorice ever since i noticed it's quasi availability, but i dont want to risk an entire case as it could turn out to be rank.

never ordered from e-cig due to the disastrous reviews on the forum and from reading what everyone harps on about it seems if i order now, it might arrive it time for boxing day!

here i go being "offensive" again but a lot of stuff thats posted on this forum should be taken with a large pinch of salt..

a lot of stuff and a lot of money and not one delivery problem with any of it.. some sh-t products.. some good products.. but delivery wise they have been perfectly okay..

their automated buying and delivery system works well.. their direct communications is lousy.. i imagine a bunch of chinese people who dont speak english..

trog

ps.. perhaps if we all learned to speak chinese communicating with them might be easier.. hard for me cos i am still struggling trying to learn "american".. he he he he

 

[dc2k08]

my kids are going to be learning chinese before they can tie their shoes, it might get them a decent factory position when the entire world's products are out-sourced there...joking maybe but seriously though, children in south america and africa are now learning chinese in preference to english, to safe-guard their futures. clever fore-sight.

yes its gonna be the chinese century for sure..

i would buy one to try but i am becoming addicted to buying cheap chinese stuff.. the e cig buying novelty has worn off but i have discovered DX.. their free postage is utterly amazing.. stuff gets put on an airplane in hong kong on the 10th and arrives on my doorstep on the 12th..

no customs and no cost.. even allowing for the fact they are 9 hours in front of the UK i am still amazed.. am waiting for my 50 mw green laser pointer i ordered last night.. he he he

[billyboy689]

lucky bugger ,im in australia and everything i buy from dx gets inspected by customs.
the last lot of cartidges i bought were opened by customs and quarantined for some reason , which delayed delivery for 2 weeks

yes its probably just a UK thing.. but normal airmail seem to bypass customs.. with express shipping its pot luck and can get hit by customs.. they only bother if they think its worthwhile making a charge thow.. i have only been hit once with a big expensive pipe package..

Ah ya dirty dog lol- I wuz waiting for someone else to be the first sucker lol-

But seriously, the site on Ebay looked exactly like the mini cig Ecig is selling & their carts even looked the same with hte orqange paper on them and even the same printing of 8mg on the side- but hte dude told me they were nothign liek hte loongtotem and he couldn't be sure if hte batteries would fit hte loongtotem or not, so I backed off trying them- I guess ecigg's price isn't too bad though, might be worth a shot I guess. if nothign else, at least I'd have another disposable atomizer product even if the batteries don't fit hte loongtotem- IF they infact are the same- I'll be kicking mys4lf for having WAY overpaid for hte loontotem though. Oh well I guess I'da just ...... the money away if I was still drinking so apples to oranges I guess. Placing my order right........n.......o........ooops never mind- If ya scroll to bottom of their site when ya click on the 'minicig' link, and look at the kit with the most cartridges in them, they say "Buy more cartridges andget one more ATOMIZER free- what hte heck is up with htat? If the atomizers are in the cartridges, and are disposable- big woopity doo if we 'get one more free'?

 

[ned Zeppelin]

Nazareth do you have the link for the eBay site

 

[ned Zeppelin]

I think smoked 51 will be kicking their self to. After all the expense they have gone too with advertising campaigns and paying off dodgy doctors to

 

[Nazareth]

Yup- his adverts are quite confusing- go to his store, and look at hte cartridges- but look down at hte pictures here Mini e-cigarette v9 new +55 refills free by ruyan - eBay (item 180274694329 end time Oct-06-08 09:38:00 PDT) it looks like in one picture, it doesn't require atomizer, then in the other, it looks like htere is one- the cartridges also look just like the loong cartridges if oyu go to his store and look at just the cartridges too

 

[ned Zeppelin]

Nazareth I think you'll find that this ain't no Loong Totem. To me it's quite obvious from the cartridge pictures as they look shiny like the plastic tip type from the cap of a DS E. 103 version 2 but the cigarette itself is not a 103 but I have seen this type on various sites.
Also a lot of sites use various pictures from different types of electronic cigarettes which is wrong as they should only be showing pictures of their product they are selling

 

[dc2k08]

naz, im fairly sure this is a re-boxed health model. these are for sale all-over the place in many guises. yeah i agree that some of his pictures are misleading and false, but those carts with the transparent plastic tip are definitely the type we are used to with the all the other styles.

its the same as this guy

Yes I agree I thought it was the health model but wasn't too sure
