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

Hello again fellow vapers,
I'm now officially on at the point of no return, I'm going to try to go an entire day without an analog cig while I'm on vacation this week. Wish this 2pack a day smoker luck! So far in about a week and a half of vaping I'm down to about 15 analogs a day, replacing with about a cartridge and a half.
I'm about $275 in now, but I now own 5 batteries, 2 usb chargers and have 60+ carts from assorted manufacturers and about 45ml of liquid for topping off.
I received two orders today;
1. EPuffer - good service. Shipping from canada was a bit slow but cheaper than express from china. Their EAZE magnum is compatible with but not identical to eCig's new mini. Their batteries seem vastly superior, I got the slightly smaller (60mm) and a larger (70some if I recall) extended life battery. My only complaints are that their batteries use a non-gloss paint which tends to gather fingergrime easier. Their cartridges are apparently identical to eCigs but the density is different (8, 6 and 4 as opposed to ecigs 16,11 and 6) I'm still not sure why that's different. They threw in 5 bonus menthol carts... I've never been a menthol smoker but they're nice.
2. ESmokerTreats. Great service. Doesn't carry this model but carries but jc smoke juice and the ecig/lt stuff. Ordered a bit of both. No problems with jc juice, and even being over eager and ignoring leafords advice to let a refill cart sit, I added about 6 drops and brought new life back to a burnt tasting cart! I'm stoked. Phil threw in a bonus dripping bottle.
Overall I'm very happy with both orders, I'm happy to say I don't think i'l ever have to deal with ecig again. Maybe if we hear their act is in order...
Being in California I think eSmokeytreats is my new supplier. Now if he'll just start stocking these carts

Ps I assume many of you are gadget geeks like me, I'm posting from my google g1 phone while I vape on the back patio. Great phone! Get one if you can!

Naaah I think I'll pass, no root access and a 1st gen product, my old but still going (and flashed to Windows Mobile 6 hehe) iPaq HX4700 will do me for now
ohh and I notice on the epuffer website they say London on the page where you enter, would love to try an eaze magnum!

Just had another little e-chat with Yoyo (I'm a glutton for punishment) Still not shipping the new mini
I have been avoiding this thread as it didn't seem relevant to me, involving a company I can't deal with currently since I can't wait forever to get my nic fix or put money out there in hopes that some day the product will arrive. I ended up here by following a link from another thread.
I have just spent a very long time reading this entire thread to get the whole story.
I think FauxPuff got a bum rap here
. S/he said nothing to endorse e-cig.com. I heard some strong ill feeling about customer service and shipping time. I have been leary about ordering anything from them for those exact reasons. Thank some god out there that I found this forum before ordering the least expensive thing I could (this tends to be my habit).
The only endorsement I saw was for the product. Ok, so we know the product works.
As for ordering again from them - the carts are what they seem to be having problems getting in stock. Now that the missing 80 carts have shown up, at least Faux knows that the goods will eventually show up, so go ahead and order now the parts you think you might need six months from now because it might take that long to get them
.
Trog:
Not just you, but especially you, have been horribly rude and alienating in this thread. I normally like reading your posts because your no-nonsense approach is usually a very refreshing bit of unadulterated honesty. I know that while I may not agree with you, you are only being true to who you are. I respect that and in my real life do the same on a daily basis and get the same results - people with hurt feelings who eventually see that I intend no harm, but cannot bring myself to patronize them.
Many people lurk in forums for ages, checking in only occasionally, not posting anything because everything seems already handled before they get to it, or perhaps not feeling that their input would be of any help. I have registered on several forums and lost interest after a few weeks, never returning. FauxPuff may have been one of those people.
The spammers I have seen here so far speak very broken English with atrocious grammar. Faux was eloquent - probably a native speaker. They don't put up a fight - when they are called to the carpet and labeled, they slink away. Faux posted several messages in self-defense.
Now, for the sign off. When I am livid I make a concerted effort to replace foul language with words that have the same meaning but are less vulgar. The power in what Faux was saying was in the graphic image. Your device had already been called phallic earlier in the thread. Now, imagine your device as a phallus and imagine how one uses your device. Hence the term Fellatio. The profanity is, I'm sure, why Faux's membership has been suspended. That was truly a very ANGRY outburst, and that is how I interpret it - an angry person letting us all know how angry and outraged they are. You started attacking after only the second post even though Faux was not really following the pattern. Was there anything Faux could have said to change your mind? You seemed to have the guilty verdict long before the evidence got a chance to be presented. I probably would have reacted to your treatment in much the same way8-o.
I want to re-iterate that Trog was not the ONLY offensive poster here, just the most over the top and therefore the easiest to illustrate my point. Apologies for using you as an example Trog, but it was more clear with your comments.

I hope that this post does not infer that my previous post is incorrect? I have regularly checked with e-cigs over the availability of the new mini and every time I have been told it's not shipping
I'm puzzled about this - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...88-new-mini-e-cig-starter-kits-available.html
"I have been reading that some people on the forum wanted to try out the New Mini Cig from e-cig.com but did not want to order from them. I am a new supplier in Ontario, Canada and have 10 Starter Kits left of the NEW MINI CIG.
I am selling the starter kits for $75CAD(~$60USD) they include; 2 lithium batteries, USB charger, wall charger, and 5 cartridges.
I will have the rest of my product and pricing on my website which will be up in a week or two. If anyone is interested in purchasing the new mini cig send me a PM."
If ecig.com are saying that they are not shipping then how can someone (new on the forum) be selling them from Canada?
There are loads of contradictions with this whole saga. What I can see most clearly is that none of the long term members who ordered one have taken delivery yet.

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,
the term fellatio is the mildest part of the insult... i think calling me a rent boy to the homeless goes a little farther along the line towards the indefensible....
u talk rubbish nicowolf..

There is something very strange going on here Kate, I have been genuinely interested in this e-cig although I haven't ordered one. I was quite prepared to break my rule of "never buy from e-cig again" so I have been checking with their live support at least every week. They have always said it was not shipping, although they did their best to get an order out of me
I find it hard to comprehend how they did not ship any devices to the established customers first, and many people here have spent a small fortune with e-cig. Now we have another retailer offering them?????
Anyway I have a new golden rule, only buy from UK / EU suppliers

Nico - I read your post and think there may well be something in what you say. I have noted DC's comments on this too. Although focusing on Trog - you are clear that your criticism applies to all those who criticized Faux. I am most definately in that 'group'.
I didn't know that Faux was suspended from the forum - is that the case? I hope not. His/her last post didn't offend me - it actually made me laugh!
As I've stated before Nico - this forum is not a court of law. There is no way of discovering all the evidence to reveal the "truth". You've made good points and you may be right. Trog also has every reason to be suspicious (and his comments on e-cig.com have been pretty restrained). I lost it with Faux after he/she decided to post s/he'd be doing more business with e-cig.com.
It could be that Faux was just stupid in contradicting him/herself. There are also other interpretations.
My view is that Trog's interpretation was correct - but that's my call. You are entitled to post your view and I certainly wouldn't want Faux banned from the site. I'm not at all sure that he/she was banned - it seemed more an opportune time for Faux to stop posting. I stand to be corrected on this of course.
As for your rationalization of Faux's insult to Trog - I work in politics - but I had to laugh at spin not even a politician would dare attempt. That you think there was a rational basis to the content of Faux's insult to Trog - in my view - is an eloquent expression of your lack of judgement.
Have you got an explanation for Faux's claim that I'm sitting on a sore bum and bank balance due to misplaced sympathy for the homeless?
I don't agree with you Nico - but if you are going to deal with the detail of what was said - don't exclude the information that doesn't support the view you've chosen to take.
I can't prove Faux was a roach for e-cig.com. I may be wrong - but Faux was encouraging business for e-cig.com - albeit in a clever way.

It seems to me that anyone ordering from ecig.com now would be daft. They really are scamming folk out of their cash, if they can't provide the product after two or more months then it is very definitely a scam.
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.

I so want to try one, now if only our UK suppliers could get their hands on them I have 3 or 4 brand new 901s in my ecig drawer but I fancy trying something new and exotic!!

He was actually calling Soot a rent boy to the homeless. See, he addressed it to Soot specifically, but forgot to capitalize the proper name. I am not sure of the reference there as I know very little about Soot. I only figured out the insult aimed at you because of his having called the Screwdriver a phallus in an earier post.
I speak my mind. If that is "rubbish", you wouldn't be the first, nor the last, to think so. I take my own point of view and do not get bullied into following someone else's. Many times my point of view is different than most, but not less worthy.
Nico - that you post your view doesn't make you right or wrong. It is people like you that make this forum interesting and worthwhile to others. (Well - it's interesting and worthwhile to me ).
I have already said that I may have been wrong about Faux but I don't believe I was. I most certainly wasn't going to let a recommendation to do business with e-cig.com pass without challenge.
Your view is no less worthy than my own. That we post different views allows others to make up their own minds.

accepted nicowolf.. i get a little defensive cos i make myself too easy a target..
i was skeptical of a new poster for valid reasons.. i was not offensive in the slightest simply skeptical..
now faux could have handled this in one of two ways.. bear in mind he/she is a newcomer...
he/she could have said in view of the circumstances i can see why u guys are skeptical.. this is how he/she should have handled it..
he/she didnt he/she went straight in for an attack on me.. he/she literally told me to go away and stop being skeptical.. the forum would be better off without me.. now dude... this aint the way a first time poster should behave..
not a genuine one anyway.. one with ulterior motives yes but not a simple newbie..
i took the insults to be aimed at me.. perhaps there was more than one.. this thread is hellishly long..
trog
ps.. i also let it (the insult) pass until people started to defend the offending party.. i had given up with faux a way back and let soot take over..
