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

I guess the idea of putting 'wool' and 'heater' together is based on the notion of throwing it away when that cart is dry. There are 2 problems with that notion:

1. Joe Bloggs has little idea of the cart being dry until the 'wool' burns.
2. Topping off with e-liquid WILL be tried by many until the atomiser dies.

Call "2" the 'environmental' or 'tight-arsed' approach. I guarantee you it'll be used for both those reasons - IF the thing delivers a good vape.

The LoongTotem email was supposedly a special offer and, as noted, shipping charges were not mentioned. I certainly don't plan to jump on it!

Trog, your "bunnies to the slaughter" analogy is getting very old, wearing very thin. You are calling too many people "stupid" with your "I'm right" posts. I admire your knowledge in some areas, but you are the world's worst consumer so I'll listen to nothing you say on foolish buying habits. Just believe this: I'm not an eager bunny rubbing my hands together and going hehe all the time. And bug off calling everyone who might disagree with you a fool. It's really gets old and annoying. Does that reflect the poster?

As said, I await Leaford's review. He's no fool.

i take the time and trouble to explain something usefull and what do i get .. picked on by a guy in funny hat and soot who now never misses his chance..

most consumers are bunnies to the slaughter.. it just the nature of the ever changing over producing world we live in.. and the clever add men.. who sell us all a lot of stuff we dont want or need..

this of course is all about to collapse around our sweet little bunny ears quite shorty as the worlds economies fail... all because we will no longer all have the borrowed money to keep buying the stuff we dont need to keep the people who make it in jobs and the factories running..

some more very relevant information and all for free..

some consumers might be a little wiser now.. the ones that want to be that is..

if either of u two think my information is false or misleading kindly say so else shut up..

and i really dont care what u come here for soot.. u are just one person.. one i would not even waste my time on now..

your sniping at the first opportunity is getting boring.. so is yours bob..

the carts dont last a day. they last about the same as a mini cart...
Well my first cart lasted a day (12hrs) without dripping - after 12hrs it was producing a lot less vapour so I stopped using it until it had been refilled.

It is still running well but I have got into the routine of topping it off with a few drops of liquid and letting it steep for a while every now and again - don't want the thing running dry and burning. It's quite easy to drip once the coloured paper has been removed as the silicon plug can be popped off with your thumbnail - you don't need to resort to hooking it out with a pin.

Out of curiosity I've taken couple of puffs from the 4 other carts that came with the N1 kit and they do vary - some producing more vapour from the off than others. It's likely that not all carts are filled equally and if you use a cart that is only part filled it will not last anywhere near the 12hrs I got from the first cart.

The bats are good for 2hrs at most before they need charging - downer - the upside is the supplied usb charger makes it easy to charge the bats while in work or on the move - being about the same size as a usb flash drive makes it easy to pocket.

The base LT, and Smoke51 base kits are sold with ONLY ONE battery - this is utter nonsense - the ePuffer Magnum kit comes with 2 bats but at $149 !! watch out bunnies :rolleyes:

The bats seem to recharge very quickly - less than an hour before the indicator goes green - I'm very suspicious of this - these are supposed to be 'smart' bats with over-charge protection - I think that the protection is kicking in too early and the bats are not getting a full charge.

...and can't tell the difference between the v9 and v10.
The only difference between the LT V9 and V10 is that the V9 kit is supplied with a mains charger while the V10 is supplied with a usb charger.

After using the new mini for 3 days I'm back to preferring my 901's - I don't have to swap batteries as much and I don't have a constant niggle that there's not enough juice in the cart and it's going to burn any second :cry:
The other thing is that you can't swap flavours with these things easily - with a 901 you can wash out the cart, blow through the atomizer and reload with what takes your fancy in minutes - you can't do that with these new atomized carts :(

Trog, you provide so many on this forum a great target for sniping. Sorry it's boring you when you trash people and products and then we "miss your humour" with our replies to your misguided self-righteous posts. Your humor is not funny; it's sad and pathetic. I wish you'd follow through on your threat to bug out; let people have discussions without your always-negative, often-insulting insights.

Ok Hello Guys I am back.
The first thing I want to do is make a HUGE APOLOGY. Looking back, I CANNOT BELIEVE what I said, and how angry I got. This was not a shining moment in my life. Sorry Trog, Soot, and all the rest of you fellow vapers. Yes, I got my New Minicig before everyone else (I threatened ECIG.COM with credit card impropriety) and you folks by and large disbelieved me. Some of you began to attack very quickly, and a bunch of you hopped on board that train as well. I can understand why. Looking at my review, it looked like I was praising ECIG.COM for their product very highly. Also, I had modified my cig before I took the pictures, which must have looked Very Fishy. Well, since then I have switched over to Loongtotem's batteries and cartridges, because the ecig.com batteries both died after a couple of weeks, and the carts were inconsistent at best. I will never do business with ECIG.COM again. I hope you guys will accept my apology and allow me to rejoin your community again. E cigs saved my life! I haven't had an analog ciggy for 5 months! I very much appreciate this forum as a repository of useful information and helpful people. bye for now... :) Happy Vaping!

For the past couple of days I,like many others have been hunkering down in Trogs' cave.
And reading the Screwdriver posts I became very interested,and said so in one of my posts.
Trog sussed I wasn't a heavy smoker,and got back and basically said I didn't need one.Not in so many words,but that the gist of his reply...

I find that quite encouraging really,for a supplier.....

I didn't read much of this thread but I saw where it was going...
Just thought I'd stick up for him like....
And I'm a bit ..........

Happy Christmas!!

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!

Hi dc2ko8
Hello I dont know if you mix your liquids but I have done a few and that anise from lorann is the BOMB I just get mine from hyvee to buy it on the internet is not so bad price but the shipping (whoa) i just watched videos from rita76 (might be mistaking her name sorry) on how to do it 1 ml of juice, 1ml of vg and a few drops of anise, talk about licorice flavoring, cant beat it. take care
Roxinal:rolleyes:

I think it is our duty to warn over e-cig. Although I hadn't ordered the mini I had other issues with them that only resolved a couple of days ago. What I cannot understand is why they changed from being a reasonable supplier to a complete scam in a relatively short space of time.

The really annoying thing is I wanted that e-cig, it's promise of a long cart life was very attractive. I'm certainly not going to order from loong.

Hi PeteMcauthor
I am sorry about all the problems that site is causing people I am glad I did not go through them. I just wanted to let you know that ecigsales has what they call the great white which is all white with gold where the atomizer fits together. the battery lasts so long I bet 8 hours or more I have one I love it. if you go to her site it will say sold out but click on the accesories and you can buy 2 batteries and atomizer, the charger, the pack of 5 carts for 55 dollars I paid 64.95 and realized later i would have been better off just ordering the accesories. of course you would not get the box or manual. she Jane is very nice. answers emails, even calls you prompt shipping. And no I am not affliated with her either. just a customer but maybe her great white is something like what your looking for I believe it is 119mm long. very beautiful her site is www.ecigsales.com and it is free shipping too.
Roxinal:)
