Obviously e-cig related.

I'd listed an electronic cigarettes site for sale a while back, a dot me, and I'm glad I didn't sell it because it's earning more per month now than I was asking for it.

Anyway, the whole e-cigs / e-liquid market is on fire at the moment, and I was debating whether to go for it and build a site on this either:

a) selling white labelled e-liquids;
b) doing some kind of affiliate site;
c) Doing some kind of ebay clone since eBay don't allow e-liquid to be sold on their platform - so a kind of e-liquids marketplace.

OR: d) sell it.

Do you think it has any kind of value to an end user bearing in mind it's a plural, and it has a hyphen (I KNOW everyone HATES hyphens), or do you think the hyphen is appropriate in this instance?

Thanks,
Dashu1

Keep it and stick an aff site on it, once people have their ecigs then they will need to keep buying the liquid, the trouble is there are so many flavors, strengths of nicotine and mixes (pg/vg/peg) and new ones coming out every day. Another good selling product is the "home mixing kits" so people can mix their own.

Even better buy it and sell it yourself, buy in bulk from china and make some good profit, I buy Ego full kits for £15 each and sell for £30-40.

I also have an aff site I made (Evapour.co.uk) and that does pretty well so there is money to be made ;)

No I don't think the hyphen kills it, I would be more than happy to own it.

I'm not sure it is - fair enough its your term association (and those clicking through). However, I think your jumping the gun to think it's a common term association

Thanks Boxerdog, I'm going to PM you.

Thanks Bailey,
I think for anyone who uses an electronic cig that it's a term they'd know?

Thanks.

You cant use an e-cig without e-liquid, for as long as e-cigarettes have been around there has always been e-liquid, they go hand in hand.
 
oops, made a comment about a product I don't use, hence I wouldn't have made the connection. Guess I was the one that jumped-the-gun there
 
I'd really like to thank Boxerdog for his help and advice on this, he is a mine of information.

It is by the look of it possible to make some really big margins on e-liquid if you're prepared to buy it in from China and sell it on, but holding stock and shipping stuff around isn't for me, so...

I'm going to stick this on domainlore if anyone is interested.

Thanks again BD.
 
A warning. The medicines agencies, MHRA in UK and FDA in US, are about to jump on e-cigs with regulations and legislation. I haven't checked, but the regs were due to be issued at the end of March.

Basically, whatever you sell in this line will be classified as a medical device and will have to carry a government approval number. Anything not carrying a number will be illegal, selling it could get you into trouble with a lot of people (MHRA and Trading Standards, for starters).

Be sure you're only buying the right stuff. The new regs have been drafted in collaboration with the industry, so some suppliers will be selling actual approved designs, but some will be selling unapproved tackle.
 
The clever ones have cooperated with the MHRA and will know what is coming.

The box shifters won't actually know what lies in store, it has not been publicised much, although info is available on the MHRA site. They'll be unsuspectingly trading their way into trouble.

I hope that the "Wicked" e-cig people don't suffer. They've made a lot of Burnley fans very happy since the Bob Lord stand has been renamed the Wicked Bob Lord stand.

The fans call it the Martin Dobson stand, because Bob Lord financed the building works by selling Martin Dobson to Everton ...
 
All this has been going on for so long now its just tedious, it needs to be regulated, the only trouble is the prices will rocket and people will end up making their own juices and mods. I know people who have bought an extra chest freezer and have it packed with juice for when the day comes.
 
So do you guys think that e-cigs are dangerous to use?

My opinion is that they are less dangerous than real tobacco, but you have to learn how to use them.

Me myself I am a smoker, and I have tried these things to stave off the cravings on long holiday journeys without the opportunity to smoke. They are better than nothing, but I usually end up in coughing paroxyms when I try to use them as intended, and I still want a real smoke at the first chance I can get.

I appreciate that there is a technique to vaping which I have not acquired. If I ever get the hang of it I could write an eBook and make money from it.

The major cancer hazard with conventional smoking comes from the tars produced in the burning process, not the nicotine, although the big message should always be that nobody needs smoking, it takes over systems in your body that were working fine before they got messed around with.

Whatever, vaping is more socially acceptable than smoking, which is banned in so many public places anyway. The ancillary stuff that makes up the "juice" seems a lot less toxic to the chemist's eye than the crud mix you get from burning tobacco, as a substitute behavioral thing it appears to be better all round to vape than smoke.

That's my opinion, I've spent years of my life learning the pharmacology behind it. And I still can't get the hang of effective vaping, so I'm still rolling my own.
 
I've been vaping for 4-5 years now and I'm fine, I feel 100 times better than when I used to smoke, my doctor (and plenty of others) think they are great and I am classed as a non-smoker with all tests showing non smoker results, although no long term studies have been carried out there is no way possible that they can be any where near as bad for you as smoking as it doesn't burn tobacco, there is no smoke its just steam (water vapour) so I guess you could drown :rolleyes:

"if any smokers here want to give it a go I have plenty of kits for sale rrp £49.99 yours for £35 + free 10ml tobacco liquid, and they are not the terrible cigarette-look-a-likes you get from Tesco or the petrol station"
