Hi everyone!

A couple of new retailers have written me to offer LEAFORD codes!

First up is 5% off at The Kick It Stick. They offer generic 801’s and 901’s priced at $50.

The eSmoker Shop is offering 5%. They carry 901’s and 401’s for $45.95. And for the ladies out there (or whoever, I will not judge you), they have the elusive PINK 901s!

And eSmoke, who I will be talking more about below, is offering 10% off.

I’ve tested two more of the LTv9/E9 disposable atomizer brands, GreenSmoke and Vapure. These are both good examples of that model. Battery performance is as good as this model comes. Moderate draw, no problems with the responsiveness of the switch, just the usual cutoff after 2-3 seconds.

GreenSmoke sells 2-battery starter kits for $140, and cartomizers for $15, and offers 15% off with Discount Code leaford-204 OR 30% on orders over $99 with leaford30-204. Vapure’s 2 batery kits are $110 and cartomizers are $13. No LEAFORD discount for Vapure, yet, but check back.

I have also been testing the E8 from E-Cig.com. For those who haven’t seen it, the E8 is E-cig.com’s newest 2-piece disposable cartomizer supermini. It’s exactly the same as the E9 (which I reviewed under its old name, the New Minicig), but even smaller, around 84mm.

I rather like it, except for the short cartridge and battery life.

The vapor is nearly as impressive as larger 2-piece models, but the cartridge life is maybe a third as long, if that. 5-7 cigarettes worth at best. Still, that’s 3 times as long as any other 84-89mm model.

Battery life is also supermini. You’ll need two batteries per cartridge. One of my two batteries died within the first couple of days, but the survivor at least performs well. No switch issues except for the usual 2-3 second cutoff.

And, I found a local retailer carrying them, eSmoke. eSmoke also carries the E9 type. Prices run $145 for the E9 starter kit, called the Sensation, and $175 for the E8, called the Micro. And cartomizers are $18.5 per box of 5. They’re offering a LEAFORD code for 10% off, though.
