Nicolites

[esmecullen]

Was round at the corner shop this afternoon when I saw they had a selection of Nicolite E-Cigs for sale........ disposables @ £6.99 and the re-chargables @ £19.99, the replacement cartridges were £6.99 for 2 was speaking to the girl behind the counter who said that they'd only got them in this morning and had already sold 10 and she asked me if I was interested......... said not really, already using an e-cig and whipped out the Twist

It's what I started on Esme, I got the starter pack from Tesco for £19.99 and that was after doing a little bit of online research and thinking they were one of the cheaper ones, god knows where I had been looking

Tbf, not a bad vape really

Lucky for her it was you and not me.

I hope you added you can fill a cart with delicious quality juice from any number of proper retailers for about 50p. Alternatively, a new carto with decent juice is also available for about £1.40.

I think after I showed her the Twist with my Eternity on top, it went right over her head, so didnt go on about it.......... did say (polietly of course) that the claims of each cartridge being the equivalent of 40 cigs was total BS

[boo]

I work at Co op (someone has to- lol) And we've just received these

Nicolites, are these the ones that Tesco sell?

If so my colleague has been on them since last November. I've given her some pre filled boges, empty boges, e-juice, loads of links, she would still rather buy nicolites from tesco ???

I think the 'fake fag' thing works best for some people ???

Most shops are getting nicolites and elites and I think intelicigs because they are offered to shop keepers with a full sale or return guarantee. I've seen disposables for £7! Although I have found them for £3.50 which isn't too bad.

I deliver to about 500 shops and I only know 4 which sell genuine e-cigs although they are overpriced and so are the liquids.

I was speaking to 1 shop keeper this morning who is trying to get good stock at the lowest prices and he did a trial run of getting some eliquid from china. It got stopped by customs and he ended up paying £4.70 per 10ml bottle!

1 thing what worried me is the eliquid he ordered had all the right logos and everything including the 3d triangle but, they said manufactured in Peterborough although they were made in china!

The local off license here sells disposables for £10

I stopped by the local (and very good) tobacconist where I used to buy my Cherry and Vanilla pipe tobacco yesterday. It was partly a social call, as I got to know Steve, (we'll call him) really well, and partly to find out how much he know about e-cigs. I was rather disappointed to discover that he was almost anti them, despite having used one to give up smoking last year, albeit for a short time. He said his main concern was over the inevitable taxation and restriction on the products in the near future (sic.).
I tried to reassure him that this was by no means inevitable, and was some time in the future by all accounts, and also tried to push the benefits it had given me to vape instead of smoking.
I said to Steve how, if he at least stocked the juice, I would once again become a valued customer, but this was not what he wanted to hear, still preoccupied with the taxation question. I think Steve's main concern was ending up with a lot of stock which would need to be paid for, and then not selling it because it became priced out of the market.
Surprise surprise, his tobacco rep. had been in the day before and had suggested that he wait a while before thinking about it seriously as 'the jury was out on taxation' (his words, not mine).
Are there vendors that we as a forum know of who might offer their products on sale or return basis which Steve could sell in his shop? At first it might be only me who buys, but if the interest grows, perhaps he could be persuaded to stock some basic attys and batteries, again SOR.
He does have Matchless e-cigs www.matchlessecig.co.uk/ although these are truly disposable - when the carto or batteries runs out you chuck the whole device away, and were on sale for £7 for 6 I think. They were tucked away on the top shelf, and not exactly promoted.
As I was leaving the shop, I asked how tobacco sales were generally. Steve replied "sales are going down big-time. No-one has the money or the incentive any more". His stock is impressive - for all you ex-smokers it would have been an Aladdin's cave, with more rolling pouches than you have ever seen, including brands I haven't even heard of before, 25 different types of pipe tobacco measured out into a plastic pouch while you wait, and the usual high-end cigs like Sobranie and even Capstan Full Strength, as well as lighters, pipes, cleaners, and all the other paraphernalia associated with smoking. He also has a great selection of sweets in jars which are measured out onto scales and then into paper bags - very old-stylee!
What a shame Steve won't consider this as a business booster - as vaping gets more popular and more people give up cigs, he could be the only retail outlet in Cornwall. Come on Exhale, if you read this forum, Harvey's of Bond Street!!! (Google it!)
