Is there a way to get all homebases on the google map that would nt involve inputting one by one(or better to wait and see if they keep selling them ? )

One about 5 minute drive from me here in edinburgh i will need to go and have a look

Rich, I just put my postcode in their store locator -

storelocator.homebargains.co.uk/

But you can click on the "list all stores" option instead.

4madcats they also posted that on UKV. I hope their solicitors take action.

Mmm, I presumed it was Cloud9 from what was said above, if its not, it's cheeky in the extreme!

Cheeky is an understatement, this is posted on their blog & forum

Important Product Alert

It has come to our attention that there are some UK retail stores selling some products marked as "Cloud9".
Genuine Cloud9Vaping products are not sold in any retail stores, and can only be purchased directly from this website at www.cloud9vaping.co.uk.
We are in NO WAY connected with these products and cannot vouch for their quality or efficacy, nor offer any support for them.
All our products are marked with the brand name Cloud9Vaping, and have our web address and either one of these physical addresses below marked on them:
Registered address: Mercer House, 15 High Street, Redbourn, HERTS AL3 7LE.
Trading Address: Unit 13, Anglo Business Park, Asheridge Road, Chesham BUCKS HP5 2QA
This matter is currently in the hands of our solicitors.

I'd be very surprised if they can do anything about it, there is already a company called Cloud9Smoking in the USA which started in 2008 and Cloud9Vaping only got their trademark approved in Europe in 2013.

Looks to me that Cloud9Vaping copied Cloud9Smoking !!

I don't know why, but when i hear ego + CE4 + charger kit (£7.99) from Home Bargains all that pops into my head is

"There going to be popular with the shoplifters round here"

I don't know if they are on a shelf somwehere or behind a counter, will nip in monday morning and take a look, even if i had no use for the CE4, £7.99 is not a bad price for an instant ego battery should the emergency arise...providing they don't need charging first

They are for sale at the checkouts not on the shop floor, which is an ideal place for them and you can't miss them lol

I don't think there is a Homebargains anywhere in Cornwall

It's where I get all my shower gel and deodorant!! Some great bargains, but didn't realise they were selling so much e-cig stuff. I'm working about 1/4 mile from there tomorrow, will pop over at lunchtime for a recce!

Wondering if Keith at Cloud9 may have something to do with the other place, as he is American.

Have to have a look in Homebargains one just opened up beside us

Hi,
My son has just bought a car from a Home Bargains manager. When we collected the car I had a quick chat about the ecigs.
Apparently not all stores have them, they vary the stock around the country so that there is always something new but he did say that you could order them online and have them delivered to your nearest branch in two or three days.

Well I went into Homebargains at the weekend and the label on the bottles are a perfect match for the American company.

So if Keith intends to stop them I think he will have his work cut out for him.

But from what I've heard it's not the best tasting of juices, so I don't think his sales will be effected in any way :)

They have them in in the Aberdeen store - beach boulevard retail park and they have the £7.99 one . I'm currently on the phone to the lassie in the Inverurie store and they have them too:D

Aberdeenshire covered

The Truro branch of Home Bargains do indeed sell vaping gear.
The CE4 + eGo battery + USB charger are £7.99, as noted above, and the juice is £1.99 for 10ml, in Menthol, Tobacco and Blueberry flavours.
I bought a Menthol (not tried yet) and Tobacco (had a quick blast in my IGO-L at lunchtime, not bad, bit harsh but quite a good taste if you like that sort of flavour I would think).
They also had some disposable cig-a-likes which I could get to see. The items were out on display on one of the aisle end displays near the tills along with rolling papers and filters. The stocks were I would estimate half gone - don't know if this was because they had sold some or whether it was all they had!
The battery and charger alone would be worth the money and a new vaper could get enough supplies to give them at least 3 or 4 days for less than a tenner.
I'll give a more considered verdict on the juice once I have emptied a Protank and vape it a bit more than 2 minutes!

lol.. I did expect them to be behind the counter.. it just wouldn't have surprised me if they was in some slightly dark corner somewhere

Still not been in to take a look, Homebargains is the opposite end of town to me while working.. We do have an e-cig shop here in Scunthorpe too.. not been in there either but i have heard good things

[djs]

I for one would approve of the real cloud9 doing something about the homebargains one.

I doubt heavy-handed action would work.

Then again, what if people google "cloud 9 vaping"....maybe it might prove a useful cross-pollination.

From quite crap liquid to famous e-cig vendor in just a few clicks.

I don't think Homebargains really do online catalogues.

I've looked for stuff before and got nowhere. I just visit and buy lots of bargains for the home.

Hard to believe.
