Buy an e-cig starter kit!

P535

Hi, I'd like to take a moment to push a revolutionary product called the e-cigarette.

With everything you love about smoking, and nothing you don't, an e-cig starter kit can let you enjoy your habit while worrying less.

The e-cig starter kit from Smōk offers you the best value on the web! Included is two lithium ion batteries, one atomizer, the SmōkPak PCC (personal charging case), a Pak charger, wall outlet adapter, and USB battery charger for three ways to charge up.

Also included are 10 free cartridges, two in each of Smōk's five delicious flavors: tobacco, menthol, cherry, vanilla, and coffee!

With one cartridge equalling about 10 cigarettes, your starter kit comes with the equivalent of five packs of traditional cigarettes!

I hadn't yet pushed it on my own personal blog, and though it was about time. ;)

Buy your e-cig starter kit from Smōk Electronic Cigarettes today!

Electronic Smoking

If you're in the market to quit the cigarettes I suggest an alternative: electronic smoking.  It has all the benefits you enjoy, without most of the stigma.  You can "vape indoors, it doesn't smell, and is waaaay cheaper.  It really can change your life for the better, and you can enjoy a "smoke-free" way to continue your habit.  If this sounds like something you are interested in, before you rush out to buy an overpriced model, I suggest you check out the e-cigarette starter kit from Smōk.  You'll be glad you did.

Setbacks, Part 2.

I'm thinking i'm gonna have a whole slew of these posts before the year is over.  Every time I turn around something else is F'ed!  The latest we are dealing with is our first shipment of E-Liquid to sell in the store.  Customs doesn't like it.  They especially don't like it when a company sends it over to us with false labeling and documentation in Chinese.  Good thing I have a contact that is gonna get it released for us... That's quite a chunk of change to just flush down the toilet...  Just a little advice, do your homework before trying to import anything.  Wish I did!

Parts and pieces.

I loved electronic cigarettes since the first day I got my Blu Cig in the mail. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before, and hit me like a ton of bricks when it felt just like the real thing... only better. But the Blu had problems, tiny battery = crap life and the same was true for the cartridges. I went looking for more. Little did I know, there was an entire ecosystem devoted to the use and furtherment of these things called PVs (personal vaporizers). I found out the industry was still very young. I found out there were tons of mom and pop e-commerce stores all over the net. I found out I could do it better than them. My new mission involved me trying out different types for myself, reading forums and blogs on the subject, keeping up to date with what was popular, and what was proven. Quite a bit of time and money was spent in the first couple weeks. Was I sure anything would come of it? No, but I had an itch that had to be scratched. My search led me to Volcano, a very popular brand, whom was still in it's early growth stage (where we are now). They had just come out with a product called the "Magma" and I was sold. The Magma was a 510 style e-cigarette (if you don't know what that is, no big deal) and it was a monster. Looking into the 510 more educated me on how popular this style actually was... extremely.

Off I went, calling my mentor and asking questions about manufacturing (his family owned a plant in India) and how to find the one I wanted to use. He pointed me to online (duh) sources of information where I could find TONS of manufacturers and contact them directly. I started with one, talked to five, moved to another, got samples, decided against, and went back to the original in about a months time all while working out other details of the business infrastructure. I'm glad I chose to go back to our first, it has become the Smōk Cig you see today.

It has been a lot of work dealing with the manufacturer as there are tons of quirks to have to learn. Shipping, customs, United States regulatory, MOQs, and design all play a part, not to mention trying to keep up with the FDA...
