So, I just got wind that the Dollar Store (Dollarama, I believe) is selling e-cigs for $20 and also extra things like cartomizers. I will look into this ASAP at my nearest Dollarama and even try to get some pictures for the community :D

So now that is Lawtons and the Dollar Store on board! The times they are a'changing!!!

Hey Chelly, I actually got my 1st e-cig from the Great Canadian Dollar store for $10 back in Sept.........thats what brought me here in the first palce. So glad I came too. 3-4 different models and a few hundred bucks later, I can say in a roundabout way that the dollar store saved my life. LMAO but true! How many people can say that??

LOL Sec, that's amazing! I had no idea they were selling them, just heard about it today. I will check into it next time I'm at the Dollarama.

Hugrem, I live in NS, as it says right under my name :p

I think it's a good thing. I think it raises awareness and I think if Lawtons and the Dollar Store are willing to sell these devices, they would be willing to sell them with nicotine too (once HC gets their act together, anyways).

Idk if this good or bad.Without nic there is no way I could of quit analogs (a year ago next week).If I tried one of these no nic e-cigs at first I would of thrown it away and never tried another.

The dollar store one I bought (e-health brand) does have nic in them. The Lawtons brand does not.

Funny story about Lawtons actually. My brother in NS went into the local Lawtons to check these out (he has a Volt e-cig and was just courious). Anyhow, this particular store in this small close minded town refused to carry them. What he was told is that the pharmacist there had the say as to wether the store would carry them or not. This pharmacist didnt want the hassle of carrying them as they would have been a "behind the counter" kind of purchase. What an idiot! IMHO

I'm surprised they had nic in them! My first e-cig was a loaner from a friend, an e-health (not sure if it's the same). The poor guy paid 60$ for it, he lent it to me after he quit using it (only a week, said he had no more cravings) and it broke the first night I had it, lol. It was a little 2 peice and when I tried to pull the cartridge off a cap came loose and all the wires came out.

Glad it worked out for you Sec....how does e-health get around the hc nic juice "ban" for lack of a better word for a unilateral decision from a fascist institution that is neither elected or accountable to anyone but BigPharma!? sorry just venting :)

I'm thinking that the ones I heard of are at the Dollarama by the MacDonald bridge, Cactus. That's the one I'll be looking into and if I don't find them there I'll be checking the ones on Pleasant St and Portland St as well :)

I'll keep ya'll abreast on the happenings of the dollar store:D And I'm also surprised to hear that it contained nicotine, Sec, that's great!

Yeah I was surprised also. As far as I know they were pulled from the shelves here after being sold for about a week or so. I went back to get another and they told me that they were not getting anymore-ever. I cant say for certain that the ones there are the same kind or not but here is the one I had. Except my kit came with only 1 battery. You cant refill the cartridges on these you just have to buy more cartridges. The dam thing got me off the smokes but after trying "real" e-cigs thses little things just kinda suck.

Will do, Switched. I'll get the whole scoop when the BF gets home from work. He called me just after I dropped him off, all in a tizzy, telling me that one of his co-workers just told him they saw them there. I will be looking at the Dollarama by the bridge tomorrow or Friday and if he knows the exact place they have them I'll let ya'll know when he gets home :D

Alright folks. The dollar store in Eastern Passage is the one they've been sighted at! So they have them there for sure. I will take a look at them tomorrow or Friday when I take the BF to work (he works in EP so it's perfecto!). I will be checking some other ones tomorrow or Friday too so I'll let you guys know if I see 'em anywhere else.
