Vype e-cigarettes

[*-SARIN-*]

So in the past few days i've had 3 people come to see me asking about their new e-cigarette that they have bought.  Each time it has been the same one, the Vype ePen and all of them are complaining abut the same thing - mostly how it's making them feel sick, giving them a headache etc.  I asked them what strength nic cartridges they were using and all of them looked at me blank.  So i decided to do some digging myself and i can't find the nic % anywhere, not even on their site.  Anybody know the answer?  I'm expecting it to be 24mg+.

Vype

If you click on the replacement cartidges/atomiser links, it says 27mg, so spot on *-SARIN-*  

It does annoy me that they have managed to get UKGOV into their URL though... suggesting some sort of legitimacy to their product!

So it does, cheers lairey . I've pointed them all to other devices especially considering that are all moaning about the cost of the cartridges as well

Quelle surprise!

Well done *-SARIN-* for pointing them to other devices

I've noticed a lot of Vype adverts on TV recently so I expect there will be more coughing customers soon!

Sounds like a government plot to outlaw them. I smell a conspiracy theory here.....

Just gores to show what a shed-load of money can do to your advertising, *-SARIN-*! I must admit I haven't seen one of these in the flesh yet, but not in any hurry to, actually.
Shameful that they can sell such high-powered cartridges with the information so difficult to ascertain, whilst we stand in fear of not being able to vape higher than 20mg (unless we are members of this forum, where such things are easy to rectify if necessary!)

Having now viewed the site, there are two statistics which I can't find; firstly, there is no information on how much liquid there is in the cartridges, and secondly, no information on the battery capacity. I suspect at most it is 650mah or thereabouts, and i also suspect that the cartridges are about 2ml of juice, judging by their size. At 360 puffs *laboratory tested at the lower power setting, if they are 2ml per cart, that equates to a cost of £12 per 10ml of juice - what might politely be described as a rip-off!!

I'll bring one over to show you, it'll make a nice prodder for vendors slow with the coffee zeldamum

Heard today that I have an early finish on Friday - you in the shop about 3pm!? Sure Helen won't mind having a few windows open, I have my PV going now with some Yorkshire Vaper 3mg 20/80 Coconut Twist, and it's getting a bit foggy in my dining room!!

Edit: I should add that the dripper is on my new M65 at 35w and wow!, what a glorious flavour

Just seen the ad on TV, very slick, and appealing to the mis-informed. The marketing person who came up with uk . govype.com definitely earned their salary... very sneaky.

Quote from their website...

Vype is sold by Nicoventures Trading Limited, a company acquired by BAT in late 2012. Nicoventures Trading sits in the Nicoventures division of the BAT Group which is managed separately from the tobacco business.

IMO that says it all... run as fast as you can... unfortunately most will not!

What is really concerning is the list of places that are selling them, all well known national retail stores!

See you Friday then - will have to leave by 4pm, but that should be two cups of coffee, a good natter and zeldamum will have to open the windows again!
Edit: - if anyone is seriously considering opening a vape shop (unlikely, with the current TPD looming!), free coffee is a definite lure Thanks Helen!
