Electronic Cigarette SmokeStik Product Upgrade

SmokeStik, the world’s most publicized brand of electronic cigarette, has just introduced a new Cartomizer Technology. The cartomizer offers a number of benefits over the old atomizer method:

- Cartomizers give you significantly more puffs than the atomizer and cartridge method.

- SmokeStik Cartomizers produce more smoke and a more realistic feeling of smoking.

- Cartomizers are disposable and eliminate the need for an atomizer, making the SmokeStik easier to use as its now only a 2 piece product.

We find that most people like the cartomizer system over the older cartridge system…although it is a bit more expensive at the outset..You do get much more smoke and many more “puffs” from the new system.

A cartomizer is a combination of an atomizer and a cartridge. It works in the same manner as atomizers except they are disposable units which are not meant to be refilled (although some users do manage to refill them). We don’t recommend refilling them because the heating element is disposable and long term use may result in burning of the wick. A cartomizer offers several advantages over an atomizer: Firstly, a cartomizer is easier to use (you just simply screw the cartomizer onto the battery and your SmokeStik is ready for use). Secondly, cartomizers last longer than prefilled cartridges in terms of puff count. Also, you get a lot more vapor and do not need to inhale as strongly.

SmokeStick’s New Facilities:

SmokeStik has recently opened a new warehousing and distribution facility in North Carolina, in response to growing demand. The new facilities will allow SmokeStik to assemble and ship higher volumes with greater efficiency.

What you are “smoking” is a mist or vapor. This vapor is created as propylene glycol is vaporized by a tiny component called the atomizer.

Quality Control

SmokeStik’s chemical laboratory is based in the United States which allows SmokeStik greater control over the key product ingredients.  Our competitors receive all product components directly from China.

SmokeStik’s technical and engineering specialists are based in Canada providing direct, prompt and hands-on access to new product developments.

SmokeStik’s continued commitment and support for our customers has prompted us to offer Live Chat.  Now, SmokeStik customers can get all the information they need, one on one, instantly! Our product specialists are available via the internet so that customers have quick and reliable access to all their questions.

Locks Law Firm Announces Nationwide Settlement of Staples Wage and Hour Cases

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ — Locks Law Firm, LLC, together with other Plaintiffs’ counsel, announced on Friday that a global settlement agreement had been reached between Staples, Inc. and its assistant store managers concerning wage and hour lawsuits.  The lawsuits involved the alleged misclassification of assistant store managers and sought overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week.  Plaintiffs contended that overtime pay was required by the Fair Labor Standards Act and the laws of certain states.

Under the global settlement, which is subject to court approval, Staples has agreed to pay $42 million to resolve the allegations and end the litigation that has been ongoing for the past several years.   Locks Law Firm, as co-lead counsel, obtained a $4.9 million judgment against Staples, Inc. last year on behalf of 343 Staples’ assistant sales managers after a month and half long jury trial in the United States District Court in New Jersey (Stillman v. Staples, Inc., 07-cv-849, D.N.J.).  As part of the settlement, Staples has also agreed to drop its appeal of that judgment.  That case, a case pending in Massachusetts state court and ten cases that are centralized in the United Stated District Court for the District of New Jersey as part of a multidistrict litigation proceeding are included in the settlement. The settlement amount resolves claims for damages dating back as far as 2002 for some of the settlement class members and covers more than 5,000 current and former associates from all states in which Staples does business outside of California.

Plaintiffs and their counsel believe the settlement to be an excellent result for the present and former Staples assistant managers who will benefit from it because the settlement will provide a definite and sure recovery long before any possible payment could be achieved through continued litigation.  The settlement, if approved, will avoid the possibility of adverse rulings or even no recovery at all.  

The settlement will be presented to the Court for preliminary approval shortly and, approximately 60 days after a court order granting such approval, official forms will be mailed to settlement class members.

Locks Law Firm has represented thousands of employees over the past decade in lawsuits against employers for failure to pay overtime wages and for improperly classifying their employees as exempt from federal and state overtime requirements.  The Firm has offices in Philadelphia and New York City, and in Cherry Hill and Englewood Cliffs in New Jersey.

Electronic Cigarettes With More Options For Less Money

Since the recent ruling of a federal judge protecting imports of the e cigarette, E Cigarettes National is offering more options at a much lower price point.

GAINESVILLE, Fla., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ — The news is spreading and smokers are flocking to one of the best electronic cigarette kits on the market because of many options and low prices that other e cigarette companies just can not seem to compete with.

E Cigarettes National’s new Firelight e cigarette starter kit “smokes” the competition with more for a much lower price point and a plethora of extras that no other name brand kit on the market has for smokers.

This electronic cigarette starter kit comes with not just one atomizer, but rather two atomizers, unlike the other companies that are priced much higher. This kit comes loaded to the rim with a lot more also. It also boasts of a car charger, home charger and the ever popular USB charger, but they are not done yet. Their two battery, two atomizer kit also comes with 10 refill cartridges where other companies only supply 5 with their starter kits.

“The deal even gets better,” states Tiffany Ellis of E Cigarettes National. “We are cheaper for the refills also, because we sell packs of 10 replacement cartridges for less than other e cigarette companies charge for five replacement cartridges, so we are in effect, cutting your cost in half on the replacements, and that does not count the huge discount on the starter kits that beat the ‘other’ companies by as much as 30 to 80 bucks.”

This low cost kit is now gaining quite a reputation for the most vapor on the market by any e cigarette that is backed by a legitimate company, and with their starter kits’ cost of just under 50 bucks with all of these extras, and a company with 5 star customer service, it looks like E Cigarettes National has all the right parts to make the other e cigarette companies sweat with envy.

E Cigarette User Claims To Know Why The E Cigarette Is So Popular

This writer on hubpages has put together an interesting theory as to why the electronic cigarette is so popular and why this writer things it works better than any other product to either quit or switch from traditional tobacco products.

Even though there is no scientific evidence to support the theory, there is an impressive explanation as to why this person believes that e cigarettes will change the smoking and smoking cessation market forever.

There have been many arguments as to what roll the e cigarette should play, if any in todays society, but a hard look into this subject by this writer makes some interesting and hard to discount observations from the perspective and a smoker. The comparison used to put the story line and theory in place is one of the most simple, yet revolutionary in nature that is sure to catch the attention of the media due to the fact that not once has anyone ever put this theory to the test prior to the invention of the e cigarette.

Could it be that this was known all along, with big pharma and the tobacco industry keeping it a sceret and not letting the public know of this aspect of addiction to keep people hooked or to keep swelling nicotine replacements to the public at high profit margins?

Since both the tobacco and drug industry has a history of “hiding” facts from the public in the interest of making a buck, maybe some real scientist needs to take a hard look at this theory and see what becomes of it. You can read the post here.

Popular Firelight Kit Now Available At E Cigarette Junction

Smokers who are interested in a smoking alternative may find the solution to their problem in the popular electronic cigarette. This device mimics a real tobacco cigarette but is battery-powered and emits a smoke-like vapor. As the word spreads, those who have looked into this smoking alternative have run into a dilemma: choosing the right e cigarette.

While choosing the right e cigarette may be a matter of preference, there are three common characteristics that all new e cigarette users seem to want: reliability, affordability and more vapor.

“All e cigarettes function the same,” says May Baello of E Cigarette Junction. “They utilize refill cartridges, they emit vapor, and so on. The problem is finding an e cigarette that is reliable, inexpensive and produces good vapor. Some brands can be reliable but are unreliable in terms of vapor output while others models are just flat-out inconsistent.”

According to Baello, the Firelight not only works well but is a “steal”.

“The Firelight is an excellent e cigarette starter kit for both first-timers and ‘veterans’ in the ‘vaping’ world,” continues Baello. “For the price, you get a lot of value and quality. The Firelight kit contains 2 atomizers, 2 rechargeable batteries, 10 refill cartridges, and a USB, wall and car charger. You can’t go wrong with this kit.”

E Cigarette Junction also carries the popular Firelight One kit, which contains 1 battery, 1 atomizer, 6 refill cartridges and a wall charger that doubles as a convenient carrying case.

Lower Cost Electronic Cigarettes, good enough?

Some experts are stating that electronic cigarettes are more popular than ever and continue to rise in popularity because of lower pricing without sacrificing quality.

GAINESVILLE, Fla., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Online retailers have led the low cost trend from the beginning of the spike of popularity by offering discounted prices for high quality electronic cigarette kits across the country. Now that price points are dropping for the same quality name brands, online retailers are helping thousands each day make the switch to this great alternative and according to top health professionals, may be saving thousands of lives.

E Cigarettes National, an online retailer of e cigarette starter kits, states that the “unrealistic assumption” spoken of by the International Harm Reduction Association can possibly be dealt with based on prices that are affordable to all smokers who want to make the switch from tobacco cigarettes.

“We are working hard to make high quality electronic cigarettes affordable to every smoker, so that more will give them a try. We know that a large percentage of the people who try them stick with them from sales information from our clients and from recent published studies and news releases around the world,” states Tiffany Ellis of E Cigarettes National. “We believe that the lower price with higher quality, like our Firelight e cigarette kits, can help tens of thousands make the switch without hurting them financially.”

Electronic Cigarette Wholesaler Empowered After U.S. Judge Decision Against FDA

Mobile Media Unlimited Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: MMUH) -

TheMarketFinancial.com, the news portal which covers the latest Wall Street developments while delivering financial and investment intelligence to a community of highly informed investors, has issued a special independent research coverage on Mobile Media Unlimited Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: MMUH)

News headlines have been showing up around the world the last couple of weeks regarding U.S. District Judge Richard Leon and his decision to granted a preliminary injunction barring the Obama administration from trying to regulate electronic cigarettes and prevent them from being imported into the United States. This left many investment opportunities in small publicly traded companies looking to break through, one of them being Mobile Media Unlimited Holdings Inc.

“An already profitable company with $5,000,000 USD in unaudited gross sales last year, the recent FDA news should see these numbers rise in 2010 as exports continue to increase in light of the news”, noted Michael Vlaicu, CEO of MIV Investments Inc.

Electronic Cigarettes could turn out to be Disruptive Technology, meaning the improvement of a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or designed for a different set of consumers. Disruptive technologies are particularly threatening to the leaders of an existing market, because they are competition coming from an unexpected direction. This technology can come to dominate an existing market by either filling a role in a new market that the older technology could not fill or by successively moving up-market through performance improvements until finally displacing the market incumbents.

“Smoking addicts are turning to a cigarette for the 21st century, one that relies on electricity, batteries and liquid nicotine instead of matches, fire and tobacco. This represents a tremendous opportunity for investors to jump in what could be one of the fastest growing industries of the new 2010 year.”

Investors should also note that Mobile Media Unlimited Holding’s subsidiary, TzuFuma Inc. is set to release unaudited financial statements for the period of 2nd Qtr-4th Qtr 2009 in early 2010.
