Brian, you where so right with your suggestion to move the thread to members only I'll wait to see what Hi-fi & others feel about moving the thread back to general vaping discussion.

I'm happy that the world can see it - it's been and is a damned good discussion.

Thanks Hifi - moving it back to general vaping discussions now.

Interesting comments from Ian.

If they KNOW their product is rubbish and doesn't match the claims made, then
they are actually relying on people binning them after a bit or being real suckers
and continuing to pitch up and pay through the nose for spares.

And that makes it worse IMO.

I remember that program on Radio 4 a few weeks back, a lot of people knew about
e-cigs and said they were rubbish - I wonder how many were ex-E-lite customers?

I know very little about look a likes, having only tried the Realis, but aren't they all basically the same?
Same batteries and cartos, just different juice?

With the capital investments made by these sellers makes you wonder how they do make a profit also the sad thing is for the same invest they could set up a good independent stall.

E-lites are not the only one who make that claim of each cart being equal to 40 cigs. VIP ecigs does it to and so do many others.

All I know is when I bought my starter kit by one of the suppliers here I was told that a cartomizer would last about 100-150 puffs which was quite accurate.

As vaping technique develops people tend to vape more..The same cart now would probably last me 50 puffs. So berating about e-lites about a subjective point is like talking a restaurant to task because a portion of food they served ain't big enough to be a portion for some heavy eaters.

As for PG being water, e-lites rather than the franchisee need to made aware of it and see what they say. Maybe that's what it says on their training pack.

Maybe e-lites took a page out of Provape's Water Vapour e-cig..

Just such a shame ECITA don't step up to the mark & do something about the false claims made, especially by their founding members
