Visiting the GTA, lost my ecig. Trying to find a replacement battery...?

[DaisyB]

Hi everyone!

I'm visiting family in Mississauga and lost my ecig in a cab. :'( I was at over a month cigarette free... now I'm trying to find a replacement battery for my KR808-1 model. I found a head shop on Queen that wanted $30 for the battery!!!! Anyone know of vendors that are local to the area? I don't mind ordering online and having it delivered here - I won't get back to Queen until Thursday anyway. In a perfect world I'd be able to pick up the battery and save shipping. The only place I've found so far is Canvape, but they have a $50 order minimum. I've got a back up battery and cartridges etc. at home so all I really need is the battery.

Help? Please?? Thanks in advance everyone!

Happy vaper and canvape are both in the area. If you email either of them and explain the situation, I'm sure they will work something out.

If that doesn't work, I'm close to mississaug and could give you a bloog battery possibly. Good luck!

Thanks Chinner! I contacted canvape and will see what they say. I'll look up Happy Vaper now!

Hi DaisyB!

Oh hun...I'm so sorry you lost your e-cig.

But don't worry: help is at hand.

Give Jack at HappyVaper a call - he's in the GTA, Richmond Hill specifically - and I'm certain he would be willing to meet with you tomorrow, if not tonight. He once drove all the way to downtown Toronto, pretty late at night too, to hand-deliver a package to me...just so I'd have it in time for a family camping trip. It's pretty late now for a meetup tonight...11:30pm. Hmm. But by all means...at least give him a phone call right now. He's usually up into the wee hours of the morning, so you shouldn't feel bad about calling him at this hour, to at least arrange to meet him tomorrow. Hang in there hun, you can do this!!

Here's his toll-free number:

1-888-696-3697

He has very nice KR808D-1 batts for $20 apiece:
Happy Vaper - Bloog MaxxFusion Manual Battery (KR808D-1)

The Bloog is just a name-branded KR808D-1 e-cig. So yeah. All the best & we're praying for you!

P.S. Oops, Chinner had the same idea already!

It is indeed. We look out for each other around here. If you have trouble being able to get anything really quickly I have plenty of spares, eGo and 808 if you need something ASAP. I work in Mississauga (Hurontario south of the 401) and live in Brampton (Steeles/Hurontario) so I'm close by, too. If you need something today I have a 900mAh eGo battery I can spare on me right now. (Don't worry, I have an eGo-C and a Silver Bullet with me as well to take up the slack. ) I even have a 510/eGo charger here if you need one.

Picked up a new manual Bloog battery (in purple! Squeee!) from Jack and Happy Vaper tonight - I just want to express how amazingly helpful and awesome he was! He really went out of his way to help me get my hands on a replacement in short order and truly went above and beyond. Thanks so so so much Jack (don't worry, I've already emailed him the same!).

I also wanted to thank the community for helping me out too. Just so amazingly helpful, positive, supportive... ! Thanks everyone!!!
