Very good find and a good read

Excellent.

Shame about the ending though.

. E-Lites launched in the Republic last February and that brand claims that smokers can save up to 75 per cent a year by making the switch – for someone who smokes a pack of 20 a day at a cost of €9.50 a time, that is a saving of €2,600.

I was spending more on E-Lites. I wonder if the same pricing structure is in place in Ireland....i.e. more expensive than all the rest for no good reason.

I doubt it we are ripped off for everything here

The news from Ireland is that 2 cartos (e-tips) are e9.99. Making them MORE expensive than the UK.

Shame on you E-Lites. It is a disgrace what you are charging.

Yes I assumed it would be.
I think my last post may have been confusing and may have made it seem like I thought it would be cheaper.
It is terrible that they can rip people off so much

In business, overpricing can make extra profit. But the gain is only a very short term thing, and the price has to be paid further down the line. Once customers discover that the same thing, or better, is available at a much lower price, the jig is up. The nest is well and truly shit. Trust once lost can never be regained. Customers are a fickle lot, and who can blame them?
