If you're just starting out in this wide world of vaping...
you want a convenient and inexpensive way to dip your toes in, feel the water and then start having some fun. Most new vapers start with a electronic cigarette kit because it has the same feel and draw as their regular cigarette.
But don't be fooled! Not all e-cigarettes are the same. Do your homework and you'll find that the Veppo brand rises to the top like a hot air balloon on a sunny day.
Hey, we're all busy and the last thing we want to do at night is to sit at our kitchen tables refilling our cartridges for the next day. It's not how you want to spend your time. Cartomizers are a snap and go solution. Everytime you put a new cartomizer onto a Veppo battery, you get a fresh atomizer and a freshly filled e-liquid cartridge all in one and ready to go.No messing with e-liquid bottles.
If all these e-cigarettes look nearly identical, how can you tell which one will work for you?
What's missing in other e-cig starter kits? Flavor & Vapor.
In conjunction with the powerful Veppo e-cigarette battery, the Veppo e-cigarette will produce more vapor, have better flavor and be easy to draw. Each cartomizer will last about 20-30 regular cigarettes, and a new atomizer every time insures the best vapor and flavor.
The cartomizers are quick and easy to use when on the go or in the car, simply screw off the used cartomizer and screw on the new one.
*Note: The Veppo Cartomizers are not refillable. (That's part of the convenience...just throw the used one away and start with a fresh one.)
With our special bulk pricing on additional Cartomizers, you will spend around $1.50 per pack as compared to regular cigarettes. This makes using the Veppo Electronic Cigarette the most economical and easy way to use the elctronic cigarette.
2 - Rechargeable batteries
5 - Cartomizers (Up to 6 packs of regular cigarettes)
1 - USB Charger
1 - Wall Adapter
1 - Reusable, protective storage box
Flavors - Tobacco, Menthol, My Burro, 2 Humps, Blueberry, Cherry, Mocha, Peach, Vanilla, and Watermelon
Nicotine Levels - 36 mg, 24 mg, 16 mg, 11 mg, 8 mg, 0 mg
Colors - Black, White, or Stainless
Size - 114mm Length x 8.4mm Diameter
Optional Parts and Accessories: Battery, Cartomizers, Wall Adapter (for charging at home), Atomizer, Cartridges, and Cases
The reason we suggest the Veppo E-cig kit to beginners is because it's super simple. There are easy directions included in the kit. Take 15 seconds to read or look at the pictures and you'll be on your way to vaping heaven.
The Veppo e-cig ninjas aren't some call center reps we've hired from overseas. Nope. Our E-cig ninjas were first our customers before they became our go to support. Now they lavishly spread their enormous product experience and knowledge on to you!

Great Product, arrived in Tasmania in just 10 days and just a great alternative, No more smells, coughing etc.
Posted by PJ on 29th Oct 2014
Received the product and its awesome
Posted by Matthew on 12th Oct 2014
Awesome feels just like a real cig without all the nasty poisons, better than what i expected.
I ordered it on Thursday and got delivered here in Australia to my house on Monday.
Posted by Ann B on 10th Oct 2014
Product ordering on-line was simple and delivery here to Australia was within 12days which was great.
The Veppo e-cig. itself is a delight to use and I get all the nicotine effects without any of the old smoke and stall ashtray smells I remember from the past.
Being a long time smoker I was sceptical about making the switch to e-cigs but am glad I did and regret having not made it sooner.
Posted by Ed on 5th Oct 2014
It really works. Reduced my smoking somewhat and now I'm ready to just use the e-cig.
Good things: no smell, you still get a nicotine hit and you can discreetly have a puff without having to find somewhere to hide.
Not sure about things: the taste of the tobacco flavoured cartomizers. Might switch to a fruity variety.
Posted by David M on 10th Sep 2014
I had smoked for over 40 years and tried ALL the ways to give up. I was getting desperate as I am due for some major surgery in a months time and they wont do it if I still smoked. In one week I have given up!!
Although I must comment on the battery life of the Ecig, seems the batteries are lasting less and less the more I use it.
Posted by CJ on 7th Sep 2014
I was skeptical about switching to a vaporizer after having smoked regular cigarettes for a while, but I'm glad I switched over. I would recommend these to everyone that's looking to leave the smell of the cigarette behind.
Posted by Lisa Harrison on 6th Sep 2014
I have used several types of ecigs and always went back to "proper" smokes. This one is definitely better, and a keeper. It was super fast delivery to Australia, well priced and they certainly do the job. No more stinky smells, no more paying $20 a packet, and no more smoke breaks (actually I still take "e-cig" smoke breaks - some habits aren't worth breaking). Try it, you've got nothing to lose.
Posted by Isabelle on 31st Aug 2014
Veppo is my first E-Cig. At first you have to get used to how much to drag, definitely different to an actual cigarette. But the flavours are great (a wider selection would be good though). It arrived to me in Australia in exactly 2 weeks. Impressed.
Posted by Jo Dean on 21st Aug 2014
My Veppo product arrived to me in Australia in less than two weeks. Much to my relief & surprise, the ease with which to use Veppo products is extraordinary. The ease of using Veppo products is so amazing!! I don't have to go outside, I can remain indoors, walk through malls, even remain in restaurants. Also, an excellent transition from regular cigarettes to Veppo. The Veppo products are such a God send to smokers. Thank you Veppo for your excellent products!!

But above all, the support is outstanding. Even before buying the product they take the time to respond all my questions, and then after buying, they make some customizations and tweaks for me, so the product work like a charm for me.
It's really great when you pay for something, and you obtain more than you could imagine.
Furthermore, I'm planning to buy others extensions of RSjoomla! suite.

How Do You Deep-Throat?
I understand that your literally f'ing the throat and stuff. My boyfriend really wants me to deep-throat him. I know that once he's horny you basically put his c*ck down your throat, but I also know that once its down there, you'll have to hold your breath because it cuts off your breathing. How long does it stay down there? Do you like go in an up and down motion taking quick breaths when you pull out or something? Or do you just leave it down there? How long? I'm just really confused and I want to do it right when I do it to him.Also someone told me a position to where he stands at the edge of the bed and I lay on the bed with my head leaning off the edge and he basically has the control and I deep-throat him there.My question for that is if he's down my throat how do I breathe there?Im sorry I'm not trying to sound explicit or anything I'm just trying to elaborate my questions. Thanks!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Okay.. I've learned a lot over the last few years about this and it takes practice so you having a caring boyfriend will help.. Deep throating is not f**king the throat that's a totally different act of oral.. To deep throat you have to hold your breathe a lot. Start slow.. Give him normal head then once the spit is going in your mouth and his d*ck start taking him deeper into you mouth slowing take more and more of him. You have to know how to open your throat up on him. So put him in your mouth and slowly go all the way down putting the tip in your throat then come back up, You can take more the next time (DO IT SLOW SO YOU DONT GAG AND BITE DOWN!)After the first time you'll get your own way of doing it.. You won't have to go slow the next time ever.. You can always put up speed when you feel comfortable with what your doing. He isn't going to care what your doing as long as your doing something with your mouth and his c*ck. Practice makes perfect! P.S. F**king the throat is where you lay on your back on the bed and open your mouth and let him f**k your throat like it was your p*ssy.. Only do this one after you are VERY comfortable with deep throating. Also let him know that if your tap his leg he needs to stop.. Sounds funny but trust me you'll need it!
What Guys Said 1
I was watching a porno once, and I saw the girl exhale right before she did it. I wondered why (she blew a really big come bubble, lol, it was hot). Anyway, in my random surfings I cam upon a possible explanation...someone wrote that exhaling and then making a vacuum in your lungs actually moves the back of your throat backwards, enabling you to take it deeper.But see what the girls have to say about this.They are the experts, I just read too much and spend way too much time on the net.
What Girls Said 2
through your nose...lol
So basically I can still breath even if its down my throat? I mean I knew I wouldn't be breathing through my mouth obviously, but I could certainly breath through my nose? sorry I'm being persistent, I'm just super nervous about it.

BRENTWOOD, N.H. – Authorities say a New Hampshire police officer was shot dead after he responded to a domestic disturbance at a home that later exploded and burned. The gunman is presumed dead in the ensuing blaze.
Attorney General Joseph Foster on Monday night identified the officer as Steven Arkell, 48. After the shooting, the house burst into flames. A massive explosion blew the front off the house and within an hour, it was leveled.
Foster says Michael Nolan, 47, the son of the homeowner, is the suspected gunman.
Gay couples get Arkansas licenses
More than 200 gay couples obtained Arkansas marriage licenses Monday after a judge tossed out the state's 10-year-old same-sex marriage ban, but only at a handful of courthouses as an overwhelming majority of county clerks in this part of the Bible Belt said they first wanted the state Supreme Court to weigh in.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel – who recently announced his personal support for same-sex marriage rights but said he would defend the law – filed paperwork Monday to at least temporarily preserve the ban, which voters approved by a 3-to-1 margin.
Singer's rival in primary dies in fall
The entrepreneur who was awaiting a recount in a too-close-to-call congressional primary with former "American Idol" singer Clay Aiken died in an accidental fall Monday at his North Carolina home, his family said.
Aiken was leading 71-year-old Keith Crisco by less than 400 votes after the contest last Tuesday. The vote is expected to be certified Thursday. If the final count puts Crisco ahead, local Democrats would select the nominee, state elections board spokesman Josh Lawson said.
DC's iconic tower reopens after work
A cross section of Americans awakened early and waited in line for hours to be among the first to ride to the top of the Washington Monument, open to the public Monday for the first time in nearly three years after an earthquake left it chipped and cracked.
Engineers have spent nearly 1,000 days making repairs stone by stone to the 130-year-old, 555-foot obelisk. Now new exhibits have been installed, and the National Park Service is offering extended hours to visitors through the summer.
US' 2nd MERS case revealed in Florida
Health officials have confirmed a second U.S. case of a mysterious virus that has sickened hundreds in the Middle East. The latest case is a resident of Saudi Arabia, visiting Florida, who is now in an Orlando hospital.
He was diagnosed with MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Sunday night. It is a respiratory illness that begins with flu-like fever and cough but can lead to shortness of breath, pneumonia and death.
The U.S. cases so far have not been severe. The first case, a man in Indiana, was released from a hospital late last week. And the second patient is doing well, officials said. The cases are not linked, officials said.
Antarctic melting called unstoppable
The huge West Antarctic ice sheet is starting a glacially slow collapse in an unstoppable way, two new studies show. The worrisome outcomes won't be seen soon; scientists are talking hundreds of years. But over that time, the melt that has started could eventually add 4 to 12 feet to current sea levels.
A NASA study looking at 40 years of ground, airplane and satellite data of what researchers call "the weak underbelly of West Antarctica" shows the melt is happening faster than scientists had predicted, crossing a critical threshold that has begun a domino-like process.
University of Washington glaciologist Ian Joughin, who led the other study, concludes "the early-stage collapse has begun."
Student shot dead was after alcohol
Authorities say a 17-year-old German foreign exchange student who was shot to death in a Missoula garage was apparently looking for alcoholic beverages when he wandered into a partially open garage and was killed after a homeowner sprayed the garage with shotgun blasts.
Markus Kaarma, who faces one count of deliberate homicide in the student's slaying, said he had been burglarized twice in the three weeks before the shooting. Kaarma allegedly told a hairdresser several days prior that he was waiting up to kill the intruders, whom he referred to as "kids," according to court documents.
Boehner urges Jeb Bush to run
House Speaker John Boehner said Monday that he's "nudged" former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016. It was the strongest hint yet from the top Republican in Congress about his preference for the White House.
"Jeb Bush is my friend. I think he'd make a great president," Boehner told the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Soccer stampede in Congo kills 15
A stampede at a soccer stadium in Congo's capital killed at least 15 people after angry fans threw rocks from the stands, prompting security officers to fire tear gas that caused crowds to flee in panic, government officials and witnesses said Monday.
The stampede at the Tata Raphael Stadium in Kinshasa happened toward the end of a match Sunday between two popular Congolese teams. At least 21 others were injured, said Gov. Andre Kimbuta, who has set up a commission to investigate.
Charges filed in Quebec derailment
Three employees and the railway company involved in last summer's massive explosion of a runaway oil train that incinerated much of a small town in Quebec, killing 47 people, will face criminal negligence charges, provincial prosecutors said Monday.
Criminal negligence that causes death can result in a jail sentence of up to life imprisonment in Canada.
The charges come about 10 months after more than 60 of the tankers carrying oil from North Dakota came loose in the middle of the night, sped downhill for nearly seven miles and derailed in Lac-Megantic.
The railroad blamed the engineer for failing to set enough brakes, allowing the train to roll toward the lakeside town of 6,000.

WSP trooper injured in Olympic Peninsula crashNovember 29, 2013 @ 7:04 pm
PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) - Authorities say a Washington State Patrol trooper suffered minor injuries and was taken to a Port Angeles hospital after his patrol car was severely damaged in a collision with several other vehicles on U.S. Highway 101.
The Peninsula Daily News reports ( http://is.gd/qKZFU4) that Clallam County Fire District No. 2 Assistant Chief Dan Huff says no one else was taken to a hospital after the crash Friday.
The trooper was not immediately identified.
Patrol spokesman Trooper Russ Winger tells KOMO-TV ( http://is.gd/Eo71qu) that the officer was driving on Highway 101 when he saw a car speeding in the opposite direction. Winger says the trooper turned around and was trying to catch up to the speeder when he lost control on a curve and crossed into the oncoming lane. The trooper reported back and neck pain.

It was 9:15 a.m. Thursday and another winter snowstorm was sweeping across the metro. The sky was getting dark, triggering street lights to come on. Yet, countless number of vehicles could be seen whizzing down Dodge Street without headlights on.
Strangely, a number of them were dark-colored vehicles.
Aside from the occasional red light runner, in particular one at 72nd & Dodge, vehicles without their headlights on pose a safety danger to other drivers in adverse weather conditions. According to the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicle driver's manual, headlights should be used whenever you have difficulty seeing other vehicles or when windshield wipers are in use, such as we saw Thursday morning.
For this and other driving tips, read the driver's manual by clicking here.

It's that time of year again, when Food & Wine asks readers to select their favorites among a preselected pool of 100 talented chefs (in ten regional categories) in order to designate the very best in the land. Nominees like Sarah Pliner, Jordan Kahn, and Kevin Pemoulie have accrued all kinds of impressive experience in their relatively short careers, of course, working under names like Ducasse, Keller, and Chang, but the F award is for those who've run their own kitchens for five years or less as such, the emerging talent here is a pretty spectacular thing. Finalists and the top-voted chef will appear in the magazine's July issue, and polls close March 18. [Food & Wine]
