New vendor on AAEC

[charlie]

Hello and Happy New Year AAEC.

My name is Charlie and I am very pleased that www.charliesvapeshop.co.uk has been accepted as a vendor on AAEC.

The website has been up and running for about one month. Our founding aim is to bring great vapor within reach of everyone, regardless of budget (including those still smoking analogues), hopefully saving them from wasting huge sums of money on devices that end up gathering dust. For this reason, I have so far concentrated on stocking items I personally use on a daily basis and have come to trust. But since vaping is also a matter of personal taste, I also enjoy listening to the views of friends, experts and other enthusiasts like me.

Currently the Vamo V2s is one of the fastest selling VV mods, starting at just 29.99 for the silver chrome finish. We sold out of Black Chrome in a week, but more black chrome are on order for arrival hopefully early next week, alongside the stainless steel version.

We've also had a run on Dekang e-liquid over the holidays, with one customer buying 300ml of juice (for me that's about six months worth, lol), probably due to the opening sale bargain prices and the power of google and the eCig forums. We are currently restocking with a wider range of Dekang flavours and strengths which are due in stock shortly.

Also in stock and selling well are mass produced genesis style atomizers for just £12.49. These have been hand modified to improve airflow by an experienced genesis enthusiast. See website for details. Proceeds from these atomizers are being donated to Cancer Research. If you read my blog you will find out why. The kit version of these atomizers is due back in stock next week.

Charlie's Vape Shop is also proud to be the first and only stockist of Bloog products - a popular premium brand in the US. Bloog KR808 batteries are roughly the size of an analogue cigarette. These come in varying sizes and a range of striking colours - blue, purple, green, even anodized steel. I'm getting repeat orders from experience vapors so that is a good sign as I'd thought initially they would be of more interest to cigarette smokers than experienced vapers. Bloog cartos have a good reputation.

I was hoping to restock all items which have sold out before posting on AAEC (sales in our first month were roughly ten times higher than expected) but new stock is now arriving daily, so please check back if items are not back in stock, they should be replenished shortly. Prices should also remain at current levels for another few weeks at least until I have added up all the expenses (freight costs, customs duties, paypal fees, packaging, webhosting, bank charges etc) to see if we've made any profit once costs are covered!

I will always try to answer all queries and questions as fast as I can. Probably the quickest way to reach me is via the email address or telephone number given on the top left hand side of the website.

I hope that in the coming weeks and months I will get the chance to get to know some of you as friends on the forum or as customers in the shop.

Sincerely.

Charlie

Hi Charlie, and a proper #welcome2# from me to AAEC and to your own vendor thread

[Jerri]

I'm looking to get into rebuilding, are the modified atomisers okay for newbies?

Having just lost my mum to cancer, I would like to buy one as I'm happy the money is going to cancer research. That's a great gesture.

Hi Charlie #7261_9485#

[Chrissie]

And a proper welcome from me as well, Charlie

Out of interest, from the pic & the fact it's Boge, I'm guessing this ciggie lookalike kit is 510 compatible? So might be a good idea to state that in the description & also whether the cartomisers it comes with are prefilled or not

Yay welcome to AAEC Charlie. Might nip down and grab a SS vamo when you get em in

Welcome aboard Charlie & good luck with your venture - look forward to seeing your new stock

Hi mate. Great website, excellent prices. The DCT kits - can they be used on a 1000 mah ego battery?

Hi Jerrie, thanks for the email and support. It is much appreciated. The guy who mods these has a twin brother who has been fighting cancer for some time. He absolutely refused any payment for modding each and every one of these atties (a true enthusiast!), so we agreed the proceeds would go to his chosen charity.

IMO these are perfect for a newbie as they don't cost over a hundred quid lol and from my own experience and others they seem to work very well. They are certainly no more difficult to get the hang of than other genesis atties I use and easier than some. My only gripe is I like a slightly airier draw, so for me, so you might consider drilling the air hole slightly larger if you have access to a very small drill. Obviously this depends on personal preference, so they've not been enlarged in case people want a stiff draw.

Don't expect your coils and wick to be perfect first time. My first five or six coils either shorted or burned out as I fired them up full blast without checking they were glowing evenly first. Watch out for any wires from the mesh or wire sticking out that might cause a short. Make sure the wick is oxidized (lots of video tutorials available) but don't overheat - just heat the mesh to cherry red color. Then make your coils, checking the resistance if you can before firing for the first time, gradually increasing voltage from a very low start if you have a vv and watch out for hot spots on the coil. If there are any, just use a toothpic or small screw driver etc to adjust the coils so they are even. It takes me a few minutes of fiddling to get all the coils glowing evenly. Then add juice and enjoy. I've posted more detailed instructions on my blog from the guy (DareDevil from Vapersden) who modded them. He is an absolute expert compared to me.

A lot of people give up after a few attempts at building coils, but once you've got your first one working it really is very easy and very satisfying

If you get stuck, just send me an email and I'll try to help.

Me too, love Dekang's flu-cured and it's so cheap compared to some juices! Have just placed order for all nic strengths and larger range of bottle sizes. The mix is Dekang's 80% pg / 20% vg which is just about perfect for me.

I've had a lot of people stacking up on flu cured. Not sure if it's Christmas or the prices, but I will try to keep them as low as I can.

Welcome, Charlie.

You have a nice looking range of products and great prices.

I'm very pleased to see you are in Ramsgate. I grew up in Manston.
