E-Cig Shipment Received!

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Jason Norris

I’m very happy to announce that we received our first shipment of our electronic cigarettes  from our manufacturer yesterday. Everything is as designed and intact. Quality control was needed, so I’ve been using the new products personally, and believe me when I say “two thumbs up”!

I also made a special delivery last night to a gentleman who has been very anxious to know when our products would be in. This person was a menthol smoker and was very satisfied with his purchase. As I told this man, which stores in Lincoln and Omaha will be carrying our e-cigs hasn’t been completely finalized yet, but I will post updates about that here as well as have a map available.

To all the people who have been contacting me, if you are in urgent need of an Electronic Cigarette in Lincoln or Omaha go ahead and give me a call. I’ll make sure you get what you need!

Quality Electronic Cigarettes

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Jason Norris

It is very important to me to offer only the highest quality electronic cigarette products. But what, exactly, does that mean in terms of the e-cigs that Ion Personal Products, Inc puts on the shelves of our retail partners in Omaha and Lincoln?

Consistency

In my research, I have tried many different styles of electronic cigarettes and spoken with people who have used many more. There is a definite difference in consistency from one type to the next. With many types of e-cigs, there is a certain amount of fussing and fiddling involved in getting the thing to work properly. In my opinion, that is the worst possible experience that an electronic cigarette user could be subjected to. When you smoke cigarettes, is one different from the next? Do you have to fiddle with cigarettes to get them to work properly?

The obvious answer to the above is that, no, no adjustments are needed in order for you to be able to smoke. You simply take out a cigarette, light it and you’re done. We want to provide the same sort of experience to our customers. Simply put a cartridge onto a charged battery and you’re ready to go. If, however, you like playing with things and trying to get the to work correctly, there are several brands I can recommend to you.

Reliability

In the same vein as consistency, we want to offer the most reliable electronic cigarette possible. That means that, when you purchase an Ion E-Cig kit, you can be sure it is going to work. Period. Our manufacturer has strict quality controls in place, as do we, do make sure that you are never disappointed when you go to use your Ion.

If you do ever have a problem with a battery or a charger not working properly, we will replace it, no questions asked, free of charge. Simply return the defective item to any store that sells the Ion electronic cigarette and they will exchange it for a new one.

Customer Service

As said above, if you ever have any issues with an Ion electronic cigarette, you can simply return it to any retailer for a replacement. I know how frustrating it can be when your e-cig isn’t working properly and I don’t want any of our customers to ever have to experience that. There have been times when I’ve even considered buying a pack of traditional cigarettes in lieu of my electronic cigarette. I know from experience, though, that is not a good idea: once, after using e-cigs for only a week, I tried a regular cigarette. It tasted horrible, and worse than that, it made me feel awful – weak and sick to my stomach. I won’t let that happen to you.

In fact, if you ever have any questions or problems, you can call me personally. My direct number is 402-577-0566. I may not be able to answer but I will call you back as soon as I am able. I will do everything in my power to make sure our customers have no complaints, and if you do I will make it right as quickly as humanly possible.

Cigarette Companies

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Jason Norris

Cigarette companies do not want you to know about electronic cigarettes. Why would they? Every person that switches from traditional cigarettes, which are known to cause cancer and many other diseases, is money taken out of their pockets. Obviously, executives of cigarette companies do not care about the welfare of their customers. The customers of cigarette companies are as disposable, to them, as the very cigarettes they sell.

Let me tell you a story about myself. For years, I had wanted to quit smoking. Ever since I had kids, I knew that smoking was not a good thing to be doing. In fact, I never let my kids see me with a cigarette. I do not want my kids to smoke and I know that kids follow the example of their parents.

The trouble was, even though I want to quit smoking, I loved it. I loved it so much that every time I tried to quit I ended up going back within a week. Yes, nicotine is addictive. But I think what is more addictive is the act of smoking itself. This is why nicotine replacement therapies such as the patch and nicotine gum have a very low success rate with helping people to quit smoking.

The great thing about electronic cigarettes is that, if you want to use them to replace traditional cigarettes completely, that is fine. That, in fact, is what I have done. However, if you simply want something to use in locations where smoking is prohibited, electronic cigarettes are allowed in many of those locations. This includes many offices, hotels, bars and any other place where smoking is not allowed. Of course, this depends on the individual proprietors preference. If owners or employees do not want you to vape in their establishment, you will need to abide by their wishes.

Unlike cigarette companies, the goal of Ion Personal Products is to make our customers happy in the long term. We find electronic cigarettes to be a satisfying, enjoyable and harmless alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. We want our customers in Lincoln and Omaha to enjoy those same benefits for years to come. That is why we are committed to providing the highest quality e-cigs at reasonable price, along with exceptional customer service and a lifetime guarantee. If your Ion product is ever found to be defective simply return it to us and we will send you a replacement at no charge.

Why Are You Interested in Electronic Cigarettes?

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Jason Norris

Let me tell you why I was interested in electronic cigarettes. These reasons may not apply to you, but I think they will apply to the majority of people who are interested in looking at e-cigs. I say this because I feel that only a certain type of people are willing to take a risk on switching from something they’ve used for years to something that, while he’d could be many times better, is still unknown.

You don’t follow the crowd. You blaze your own trail. I can only assume that’s the reason that you are looking into the electronic cigarette. People who want to be like everyone else certainly won’t be trying electronic cigarettes and won’t be for couple of years because it is still growing and there are still only a few people were using it.

You care about your health. You, like everyone else on the planet, are aware that cigarettes produced many toxic chemicals. Not only are their toxic chemicals produced by burning tobacco leaves, extra chemicals are headed by cigarette manufacturers to increase your addiction. The chemicals they had have the effect of getting nicotine into your bloodstream more quickly. Because of this, once the nicotine wears off, you have a much stronger craving for your next cigarette than you would without these chemicals.

You like being one of the first ones to try new technology. You probably have a smart phone, a blazing fast computer, and maybe even a nice big 3D TV. You know that being one of the first people to pick up on a hot new technology can make you seem like you have your finger on the pulse of society.

These are some of the reasons I originally was interested in electronic cigarettes. If you have others please let me know and the comments box below.

Thanks,
Jason

Electronic Cigarettes – Five Things to Look For in an E-Cig

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Jason Norris

So, you’ve decided to try electronic cigarettes as an alternative to smoking tobacco. Great! Many people have found that using e-cigs brings many benefits, such as not smelling like an ashtray, not coughing constantly and having more energy. However, when choosing which electronic cigarette to purchase, there are some differences that you may want to consider to make sure that you have the best e-cig experience possible.

The first thing to take into account is cost. The up-front cost of buying a “kit” consisting of batteries, a charger, possibly atomizers and an initial supply of cartridges is something to consider. Higher-quality electronic cigarette kits will, of course, cost more than lower-quality ones. There may be identical kits available at a lower price though, so you may want to check around. The main cost over time, however, will come from refill cartridges, which must be purchased for your e-cig whenever you run out. You will, in the long run, spend much more on refills than on your kit purchase. Keep this in mind when making your purchase.

The second thing to remember is that you will always need to have refills on hand, as well as at least one working battery and, for three-piece designs, atomizer. Unlike cigarettes, when you run out of supplies for your e-cig, you cannot simply go to the nearest store and get more. You will need to either purchase from a local store that carries compatible equipment or purchase online. In the case of online retailers, be sure to allow time for shipping so you don’t run out while waiting on an order.

Thirdly, each model of electronic cigarette has a specific battery life. This may be stated in number of “puffs” between recharging, or number of hours. Really these numbers are just estimates. Most models will tell you the “mAh” (milliamp-hours) rating on their battery. This is the scientifically-tested number that you can use to compare between e-cig models. For instance, a model with 600mAh will last over three times as long as a model with 180mAh.

Fourth, you should choose an e-cig model and retailer that has several flavors available. The first flavor you try may indeed be the greatest and you may never have the desire to try something new. Most electronic cigarette users, though, end up trying at least a few flavors before they find one that they love to use every day.

Lastly, make sure you deal with a retailer whom you like and trust. You will be buying from them once or more each week, so it’s important that you maintain a good relationship. They will be able to keep you up to date on new products you may be interested in as well as warn you if there is ever a problem with getting inventory in for your e-cig. How is the customer service at the retailer you are looking at? Do they take returns or exchanges for faulty merchandise? As with any product, electronic cigarettes are not immune to manufacturing defects. There will be some atomizers and batteries that work poorly or not at all. Make sure that your supplier will not leave you holding a worthless piece of equipment.

All in all, taking these five factors into consideration can help save you money and improve your experience.
