I just wanted to show off my new toy! Doctor Who is one of my favorite sci-fi shows, and one of the things I love the most is that he never carries a weapon. Just a tool. He’s a problem solver, not a fighter. And his Sonic Screwdriver can do almost anything. But it can’t vape. Until now, that is!!!

I am feeling much better today, and went back at our manufacturer to oversee production. Unfortunately, that left me a bit too busy to do the post I had hoped to do today, with some factory pictures I took my first day here.
So, in the meantime I thought I’d share some of my impressions about life in China. Or, more properly, about life in Shajing Town, Shenzhen, since Shenzhen is a special region, and not really representative of the country as a whole.
FIrst off, you know those people …

Over in the new member’s section of E-Cigarette Forum there’s a thread about whether we e-cig users should be concerned that our e-liquid is manufactured in China. The original post is:
Is anyone concerned?
That all if not part of the juice we buy is manufactured in China? I went to a party last night and a few people asked me this question, which made me begin to wonder. None of the smokers at the party wanted to try my e-cigarette, they were all concerned about how it is manufactured …

Hey everybody!
Right now, I am posting from Shenzhen, China, where I have been for a little over a week now.
I had meant to make a habit of posting a kind of daily (or near-daily) diary of my experiences, but didn’t count on the Great Firewall, China’s notorious internet restrictions. Upon arriving, I found out I couldn’t upload photos to the forums, I couldn’t get to Youtube, I couldn’t even log on here, on my own Blog!! And, to make matters worse, when I looked for a proxy server or …

I don’t leave for China for another week yet, but today I leave my home, and Mike, for the first leg of my trip.
I am flying to Phoenix to see my Mom, and to have an early Thanksgiving dinner with her. Then Wednesday I fly to Chicago to meet Steve face to face for the first time. And the next Tuesday, December 2nd, I will take off for Shenzhen, China, where I will spend the next 3 months.
I am very excited, and also a bit nervous. For someone who …

Do you dance? I’m not a good dancer, and usually feel too embarrassed to ever dance in public, but sometimes I hear the music and it carries me along and I have to dance just to keep up with it.
I am proud, happy, and very excited, to announce that this last week I’ve joined the Vapor4Life Team as Steve’s new Vice President of Product Development.
This arose out of my growing friendship with, respect for, and trust of Steve, the President of V4L; out of how well I like the product, …

Over at Electronic Cigarette Forum a couple of posters have received theirs, and I’m thrilled to say that they LOVE them!
Read it HERE!
From WMF “I bought my wife one. It arrived today. She hasn’t had if off since. What a great idea!”
And from Jamaesi, “I just got my lanyard today and I am sooo happy. It’s beautiful and this is the first day where I haven’t gone mad trying to find my e-cig.”
Thanks, guys, I’m glad you like it!

I am damn proud to announce that not only can I now share my lanyard with you, not only have I gone all the way to Thailand to make that happen, but I made it even better than the original!
With my design, and my good friend Nui’s artistry, this is the ultimate e-cigarette lanyard! It features access holes to reach manual buttons, vents to display the LEDs, and each is HAND-PAINTED with a beautiful stylized smoke pattern. No two are exactly alike! These are not only the most functional …

Just announcing my next reviews, the Puresmoker Protoge, and the Vapor4life Vapor King.
Also, I now have a discount code for V4L; leaford10, for 10% off.
Lastly, I am arranging to make my Lanyard available, which many of you asked about after I showed it in my last blog post; more info on that later.

I originally wrote this intending to use it as a vid-blog post, but I have a badly infected wisdom tooth which swelled up last night, so I’m in still pain and a bit woozy from the vicodin. So a written post will have to do, and I’ll try to write up something else tomorrow, too.

So, i checked ecigarettemall (eastmall), epuffer, and litecigusa (happened to be under maintenance atm), and I couldn’t find any resourceful location for a dealer selling the Loong Totem V1.
In January, you said e-cig.com had …
