Mr Peter Ley - Customer Testimonial

[3 Jan 2010 | 2 Comments ]

Howdy,

I’m doing this incase it reaches just one person like me who it can help.
Maybe they’re half heartedly searching the web for info on e-cigs like I
would’ve done when I smoked a month ago.

Pre 03/12/09, I’m on atleast 20 roll ups per day, max of 30. I’m 31 and
have been smoking heavy since 19 or 20. I’d have 3 or 4 cigs before I got
to work, 2 in the 15 minute breaks, 3 or 4 at 30 minute lunch, 2 or 3 on
the way home, and approx 15 the evening. Weekends were worse with more
time on my hands.

Trying to quit was turning into a bit of a joke for me. I’ve thrown them
in the street bin in the morning only to buy more, with a new lighter,
half an hour later. Id try to go for a jog, and take the cigs with me, and
end up walking around  smoking. I’d be ill with the flu, so that I
couldn’t breathe through my nose, and i’d still smoke my way through it.
Nicotine patches were a joke. I tried it once when i was 23, stuck it on
my arm, and smoked my way through it.

So I had a job at my local shopping mall in Bristol, where there was a
nicocig stand. I’d walked past it loads of times, and never gave it a
second look. I dont know the reason i ignored it. I guess, looking back, i
thought ” If I’m going to quit cigs, then I want to do it on my own, I
dont want any help. My willpower IS strong enough, I just need more
time….” Pride I guess.

So it was just another day at work and I was trying to quit, but deep down
I knew I wouldn’t last till lunch. The only reason I hadn’t had any cigs or
coffee on the way to work was today I was exceptionally hungover. I’ve
been here before ofcourse, where im ill from too much drink the night
before, and I mistake not having a cig in the morning due to this,  for my
own willpower in quitting. As ever, I knew i’d feel better at lunch and
buy cigs and a new lighter then. Quitting was becoming a joke to me.

So anyway, come lunch time, I’m bursting for a cig. You know that feeling?
Where the only thing that matters in your life at this point in time is
having a cig? You could have only five minutes to make your flight to
Hawaii on your honeymoon, you will use the 5 mins to have a cig and choose
to miss your flight, right?

Well, instead of going to the newsagent to buy some, I went to the stand
and bought a starter pack. The guy behind the stall was kind enough to
give me a fully charged battery so it was ready to go. By the time this
was done I was ready to explode, I wanted a cigarette so bad. The time was
maybe 2pm, I had started at 9am. So when I dragged on the ecig, it was
perfect. All my problems were cured, I felt 100% better.

Now I want to stress that it worked for me probably because I left it as
long as I could without a normal cig, 5-6 hours excluding sleep, and so I
was just so pleased to have something to smoke.

I used it for the rest of the day at work, when i got home I googled
ecigs, while puffing on the ecig like a normal cig, trying to find
something wrong with it, which i couldn’t. Around 9pm that evening,
suddenly I really wanted a normal cig. There was something missing in the
ecig that my body was craving at 9pm… I stopped everything I was doing
and stood still and thought to myself I have never in my life gone a day
without a cig for over ten years, I am so close.

So yes willpower was needed at that point, but the feeling for a normal
cig was a fifth of my earlier lunch time craving. I went to bed at 10pm,
full of nicotine from the ecig, and slept well. Day 2 was fine really. I
woke up and thought I have a choice to make now. I either smoke rollies,
or the ecig. I chose the ecig.

I somtimes think im lying or cheating when i say ive stopped smoking. It
really does feel today, four weeks later, that all i’ve done is change my
brand of cig, like when I went from straights to rollies because they were
cheaper.

I smoked drum yellow rollies and lambert straights. The mediums are like a
normal cig, but I prefer the lows. Ive tried the zeros, but im still
addcited to nicotine, and I don’t want to rush it, but I have a feeling it
wont be long.

Today, 02/01/10, I went to a cafe for a coffe and a cig. I bought my
coffee, sat outside, opened my newspaper, and had a sip. Then I reached
into my pocket for my ecig, and realized I had left it at home. Pre 03/12/09 I
would have left my coffe there to go home and get it, or buy some more,
with a lighter, from the newsagent. I smiled to myself as I calmly picked
up the coffee again and just read the paper.

I’m still the same person I was then, I just have changed my brand of
cigarette to an electronic one that I plug in to recharge. I never liked
lighters anyway.

Congrats if you’ve read this to the end, I didn’t know i’d go on so much.
I’m not sure I even want to send this now, I hope it doesn’t sound like
waffle.

Thanks for everything.

Customer Review - New Ruyan Nicocig Plus

[14 Dec 2009 | One Comment ]

Dear Nicocig,

I have been using your original Nicocig for many months now, and stumbled across the new plus on your website when buying some extra cartridges. At first I was reluctant to purchase it because from the photos they looked very similar. However as we are nearing Xmas my wife decided that she wanted to try Nicocig as she has seen how well I have done with mine. (Not smoked a real cigarette for 6 months and 13 days!)

I bought her the Nicocig Plus from your site, anxious for her to start using it. She finds it absolutely fantastic, and after trying hers I decided to purchase one for myself. It is a much improved product. For me the best thing about it is the taste. It really does taste much more like a cigarette! I also find that the cartridges now last much longer than the previous ones!

My wife and I have been smoking for nearly 18 years, and never thought that there would be a day where we could go without.

By all means post this testimonial on your blog page! Any smoker reading this should really try this product, it is fantastic!

Malcolm Whitehouse.


Its Here…

[20 Nov 2009 | No Comment ]

Dear Valued Customers

The long awaited Nicocig Plus is here! Nicocig Plus has been designed to meet the needs and desires of several of our regular users and electronic cigarette enthusiasts. Several improvements have been made to the already popular original Nicocig to provide users with an even better alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Nicocig plus has been fitted with a new, more compact atomiser providing us with the space to extend the battery to make it last that extra bit longer. In addition the battery has been fitted with extra air holes, and the vapour made thinner to provide you with an even smoother smoke.

The cartridges have also been made smaller, but packed even tighter to make each cartridge last around 15 cigarettes – that’s 180-210 inhalations in each one! In addition the cartridges have been redesigned to solve the common electronic cigarette problem of leaking. The Nicocig Plus will satisfy every smoker with a new and improved taste designed to suit the UK market. In addition, further to popular demand, the mouth piece texture has been made to feel more like to traditional cigarette.

With the original Nicocig, along with many of the electronic cigarettes currently on the market, the atomiser loses efficiency over a period of time and is more prone to breaking down or burning out, something which Nicocig dealt with by providing free replacements to all their customers – Nicocig have now outdone themselves once again by providing a brand new atomiser in EVERY box of cartridges, ensuring Nicocig users always have an electronic cigarette working at 100% efficiency!

So buy your Nicocig Plus today and free yourself!

STAYING WITH THE PARTY…AT CLERKENWELL HOUSE

[7 Oct 2009 | No Comment ]

Ever since the smoking ban hit the UK in 2007, the Bar and Restaurant industry has never been the same.

While some have built smoking shelters to protect their customers from the always beautiful British weather, it often means that smokers must leave the venue and endure standing alone outside until they finish their cigarette.

Clerkenwell House is a bar situated in the heart of London City has implemented a new idea……electronic smoking!

Electronic cigarettes or Nicocigs as they are known, mimic smoking to the extreme. Users will still get the nicotine hit that they crave, but the difference is that they contain no tobacco, and don’t need to be lit.

Probably the most amazing thing about this revolutionary product is that you actually exhale smoke! The smoke however is not like traditional cigarette smoke; it is an odourless water vapour. As there is no risk of passive smoking and never is the cigarette lit, it completely circumvents the smoking ban.

Ebru Al, the bar manager says,

“Our idea behind introducing Nicocig and electronic smoking into our bar was to mainly stop people from going outside to smoke as we are situated in a fairly residential area. The cigars go down especially well with the regulars for our themed nights too. Overall I would say it has been a successful change to our bar.”

Nicocig helped launch the product at Clerkenwell House on Friday 11th September. The event was a huge success, with customers being able to try the products for free before purchasing them from behind the bar.

Andre Davis a bar regular agreed that it was a fantastic idea.

“I am really the only one out of my group of friends who smokes so unless I can drag someone outside with me – it’s a bit boring going outside for a cigarette. It’s great to be able to stay inside with my friends and still have my cigarette at my fingertips!”

When comparing price, the Nicocig Jazz range that Clerkenwell House currently stock works out to be much cheaper than the real thing, with 100 cigarettes worth of smoking only costing £18.99, as opposed to £30+ you would have to pay for the same amount of smoking of traditional cigarettes.

A spokesperson from Nicocig, Mr Birju Pujara said that not only does it allow customers to smoke indoors, but the main benefit is that they are far healthier. By cutting out tobacco it eliminates tar, carbon monoxide, and over 4000 chemicals commonly found in a real cigarette.

He also added that their products are becoming increasingly popular with bars and clubs nationwide, with the concept of electronic smoking really starting to take off.

“Now that the concept is proven to work, we are continuously looking for more and more bars and clubs to take up the idea. We spend a lot of time working with venues in promotion, and the launch nights are always enjoyable!”


E-Cigarettes: The New Frontier In War On Smoking

[7 Aug 2009 | No Comment ]

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a press conference late last month to scare Americans about the so-called “e-cigarette” — claiming it was loaded with harmful “toxins” and “carcinogens.” The agency was implicitly saying: Stay away from these newfangled, untested cigarette substitutes — better to stick with the real ones, the ones that we are more familiar with, the ones that cause over 450,000 deaths annually in the U.S.

In making its distorted, incomplete and misleading statement, FDA was violating its long-cherished tradition of sticking to sound science as the basis for its policies. And in doing so, it is putting the lives and health of millions of Americans at risk.

Boston University School of Public Health professor Michael Siegel says the FDA’s recent consumer warning was misleading because the agency found low levels of carcinogens in e-cigarettes.

“It is comparable to what is present in nicotine-replacement products, which are on the market, and, in fact, if you look at the actual levels of the carcinogens in electronic cigarettes, they’re about 1,400 times lower than in Marlboros,” he says.

More than 1 million smokers are now using the e-cigarette — a product that offers some, if not all, of the “social amenities” of the real thing — holding the cigarette, taking a drag, seeing a plume of “smoke.” The FDA, lacking data that e-cigarettes pose a health hazard, was so desperate, it called on consumers to phone in adverse side effects of e-cigarettes so they could begin to build a case against them and proceed with their intended ban. They neglected, however, to request smokers who successfully quit using the e-cigarette to also call in.

Ruyan the pioneers and patent holders of the electronic cigarette, have carried out initial safety tests on the product. Clinical trials are also said to be shortly under way to prove to the worlds regulatory bodies just how much electronic cigarettes can help smokers.

NICOCIG CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

[14 Apr 2009 | No Comment ]

Dear Nicocig Team,

I just wanted to say “thank you” to the member of your staff who took my phone call a few days ago. I called to enquire whether Nicocig was available from a pharmacy in the Wolverhampton area and was directed to a local chemist (Andersons). The staff there were very helpful and informative about the product, so I decided to purchase a starter kit, together with an additional pack of cartridges.

Initially it took a little getting used to, and there seemed to be relatively little vapour. However, I had done some reading on the Internet which appeared to suggest that it is sometimes necessary to “break in” the atomiser. This seems to have been the case for me; I persevered and by day three this marvellous device really got going, and I was able to get a real nicotine “hit”. I have been so impressed that I have today placed an order for a further ten cartridge packs and a spare battery.

I think word of mouth will play a large part in the success of this product. I showed a friend your product leaflet and her response was, “Why didn’t someone think of this years ago?!”.

I noticed that on your blog you had a promotional event in Birmingham a few weeks ago; it’s a real shame that I was not able to attend. Nevertheless, I do hope that you will be able to notify me when you launch your new product, as I would be very interested to see what developments you are making.

With kind regards,

Michael
