We have just published our New User guide on the website. 

We (ECCA) only just caught the end of it, and unfortunately had no one ready to call the show.

It was an interesting show, just lacking a clear user view. We have sent an email to LBC asking for an invite to any further shows on the subject.

We would like to take a moment to explain and apologise for the situation surrounding our stickers as it has caused some obvious discomfort amongst those who have supported us.

As you are aware,  we are a group of volunteers who are spending a lot of personal time trying to address the many issues that are facing us presently, alongside supporting consumers with queries on faulty goods and services. These are things we should be doing and are doing.

Some of you donated money to us in good faith and to support the overall campaign for public awareness by displaying one of our stickers in your car.  We are very sorry that we fell very short of your expectations when not only did your stickers not arrive, but your emails were not responded to. This was down, in part, to technical issues regarding access to the email account used for this purpose, but is largely down to the simple fact we are normal people trying to balance our work, personal lives and families with all that is required of us here with electronic cigarettes.  

Our mistake was not to share the burden of the entire sticker job once the design was finished.  The weight fell on one person’s shoulders and most recently (like all of us at some point) family and personal life was significantly more important and so a brief step had to be taken back from their work with ECCA. We respect and understand this. We are a volunteer organisation, not a vast faceless corporate machine and this falling within the school holidays presents extra complications.

Finally, we did not foresee the shortcomings of the current email system and were unaware of the mounting backlog. Please understand that although there is not always a lot of noise coming from ECCA, there is always a lot going on behind the scenes, especially around advocacy. It is tiring and emotionally draining and we do it as we are dedicated to what we believe in. Make no bones about it, we are living and breathing documents, research, letters and FOIs, much to the exasperation of our friends and families. There is more fire in our bellies now even than when we started!

Anyone who has contacted us about stickers will receive them in the next few days as we clear the backlog and we apologise unreservedly for putting you in the position of having to doubt both us and our integrity.

Once again, our apologies, we will be in contact with those affected over the next 48 hours

Indeed it will either be inforced with more holes than a seive or they will try and do something different, not too sure what that could be. I mean if a juice does have to be sold for a particular set up, ie 650mah battery with a CE4 fair enough, but there is nothing to stop vendors selling other unlicensed products, as they don't contain nicotine, and sell them the juice.

But the vendor would have to openly advise that the juice is only to be used in that above set up. Which will be fine for us, but not great for a new user. Plus an added cost for no reason whatsoever.

ausfost did you send them the employee ecigs thing on the ECCA site, or just took bits from it? I guess if they don't want to be around smoke, they will have to go off their property which IMO is very poor.

I have tamed my shineytitus with my eVic purchase BUT the iTaste 134 may just break my bank balance! It's big and heavy, and I think a very novelty item and will only buy it to show it off, but what a great looking device to show off!

That is a stock response, and got very similar, albeit more cynical information in it from Mr Farage .

But let's not forget the leader Farage is a smoker...
