Orlando, FL (PRWEB) March 15, 2010

Totally Wicked Coupon is pleased to announce the launch of their free web service, Totally Wicked Coupon, providing consumers with convenient instant discounts on premium quality electronic cigarette models, USA and UK manufactured liquid nicotine fluids and E Liquid from top industry supplier Totally Wicked eLiquid.

“Switching to electronic cigarettes has saved me literally thousands of dollars ever since I discovered them about 2 years ago. I know many are suffering financially in this economic climate, especially smokers. I decided to launch http://TotallyWickedCoupon.com to help smokers everywhere benefit from even further savings on the exact products that stopped my decade-long tobacco habit saving me a great deal of money in the process.” says James Oliver, founder of Totally Wicked Coupon.

The current state of the economy combined with soaring prices for tobacco cigarettes has led many smokers to explore cigarette alternatives. Many are discovering that electronic cigarettes in conjunction with nicotine liquid (also known as e liquid) can dramatically decrease their smoking costs, often by 70%, while enjoying a completely satisfying yet much cheaper cigarette alternative.

Now with the launch of website Totally Wicked Coupon, smokers can further those savings with a convenient and permanent discount on the very best electronic cigarette models and e liquids on the market.

With the increasing awareness in North America of electronic smoking as an effective and cost-savings cigarette alternative, many suppliers have recently entered the market. Unfortunately many of these companies are offering low quality imitation and counterfeit electronic cigarette models, as well as unregulated imported e liquids. While appearing cheaper to the consumer, these electronic cigarettes and nicotine fluids are made to poor quality standards, can malfunction, stop working quickly and deliver poor performance and quality concerns. Totally Wicked Products, available at a permanent discount of at least 7.5% through http://TotallyWickedCoupon.com, provide trusted quality and affordability.

“We have one main goal, which is to provide our customers with products that deliver. We believe that we consistently achieve this with not only our nicotine fluids but also our full range of Electronic Cigarettes and their accompanying accessories.” Said Jason Cropper, CEO of Pillbox38 Ltd. and Totally Wicked eLiquid.

Totally Wicked is a trusted leader in the industry, with USA based operations in Florida. The high quality of authentic, trusted and market-proven e smoking models sold by Totally Wicked such as the 510 Titan E-NI and the new Totally Wicked Tornado E-NI are among the most reliable, high performing and quality electronic cigarettes (or Electronic Nicotine Inhalators) to be found anywhere. Additionally Totally Wicked’s newly available Patriot Range of E Liquids are completely manufactured in the United States using certified USP nicotine (identical to that found in approved NRT products like stop smoking gum and patches) and USA sourced quality flavorings.

Totally Wicked Coupon offers a chance to get the best possible prices on these market leading e smoking products instantly.

Northbrook, IL (PRWEB) March 15, 2010

The V4L Original Vapor King model e-cigarette has garnered enthusiastic attention from e-cigarette users. The model is available only at http://www.Vapor4Life.com. Unfortunately, other e-cigarette distributors have been using the Vapor King name to sell products which do not come close to the quality or functionality for which Vapor4Life’s flagship model is known. The company’s President and CEO, Steve Milin has issued a statement to set the record straight.

Vapor4Life has emerged at the forefront of the e-cigarette industry. The company prides itself on product development and exclusivity, and commits itself to customer service that exceeds all expectations. The Vapor4Life logo, featuring the company?s distinctive ?V4L,? is synonymous with quality. Consumers who buy the Original Vapor King at http://www.Vapor4Life.com couldn?t be happier.

This popularity has served the company well. So well, in fact, other e-cigarette companies try to capitalize on the Vapor King name. This is bad news for consumers who are unaware that these companies are offering a completely different product, one not backed by the sterling Vapor4Life reputation and unbeatable warranty. Dissatisfaction with Vapor King imitations has led to Vapor4Life receiving complaints from customers who have not purchased their products. The company is determined to address this problem.

Part of the confusion stems from the fact that the ?Vapor King? name isn?t trademarked, giving rivals the opportunity to take advantage of the V4L Original Vapor King?s standout success. There?s a contributing factor: the state of the e-cigarette industry.

Most e-cigarette products are manufactured in China, and often products from the same assembly line may be dispersed to different distributors and branded accordingly. The prevalence of this pattern has caused many consumers to shop with only price point and compatibility in mind.

Unlike other e-cigarette companies, the astonishing growth experienced by http://www.Vapor4Life.com has been built on much more than outstanding branding. The company?s success instead comes from its refusal to settle for the status quo. V4L liaisons oversee quality control on-site at their manufacturers. Vapor4Life prioritizes improvement through research and development, turning out exclusive e-cigarette products and accessories like the Original Vapor King and the company?s new Premium Cartomizers.

Vapor4Life’s investment in independent product development has paid off. But V4L President Steve “Smilin” Milin is bothered by consumer confusion regarding the Vapor King name, and has released the following statement:

“Shoppers are hearing about the Vapor4Life Original Vapor King, but they see ‘Vapor King’ on some second rate product and think it’s the same thing. It isn’t. I can’t stress that enough. We get complaints daily–from customers who have bought these imitations–and there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s not the same equipment, not even close. You can only buy the V4L Original Vapor King at http://www.Vapor4Life.com." he says.

Milin adds, “It’s incredibly frustrating. Our customers are loyal because we offer the best products, constant improvements, and an unbeatable warranty. I want each and every customer to be impressed when he or she tries a new V4L product?whether it?s their first order or their hundredth. But these copycats are causing real problems for customers, and damaging the Vapor King’s well-deserved excellent reputation.”

His concern is justified. The V4L Original Vapor King isn?t another rebranded stock e-cigarette. Built to Vapor4Life specifications with quality control overseen by the company?s own employees abroad the Vapor4Life flagship model is in a class of its own.

And Steve Milin?s concern that customers are disappointed rings true. Vapor4Life.com has a legendary customer service record. Pursuing perfection in a cutting edge industry that depends upon emerging technology, Vapor4Life?s no-fuss warranty is unheard of. Offering customers replacements for equipment without requiring returns, and with executive staff often personally taking customer service calls, Vapor4Life?s promise to leave consumers “smilin’” isn’t just lip service.

Vapor4Life and its Original Vapor King e-cigarette have already generated considerable industry buzz, in part because of the company?s enormous fan following. In response to current brand name confusion, the company has enhanced its marketing and public relations strategies. For this reason–and because of customer demand–http://www.Vapor4Life.com will launch V4L T-shirts, hats, and other accessories. But a T-shirt isn’t enough for some devoted Original Vapor King fans: they’ve chosen to display the V4L logo permanently in the form of Vapor4Life tattoos!

Consumers looking for the Original Vapor King should know that there?s only one place to purchase this unparalleled product: http://www.Vapor4Life.com. And only at Vapor4Life.com will they receive the Smilin? Warranty. It?s the best warranty in the industry, because it backs up the best choice in the industry.

Vapor4Life is a Northbrook, IL based corporation which develops and distributes personal vaporizer e-cigarettes and accessories. The V4L signature e-cigarette model, the Original Vapor King, can be found only at http://www.vapor4life.com.

Electronic cigarettes are an alternative to tobacco smoking. They simulate the act and sensation of smoking with vaporized liquid which may be flavored and/or contain nicotine.

Shoppers eyeing e-cigarettes are presented with a rainbow of color options at http://www.Vapor4Life.com. The company has continually upgraded its e-cigarette color selection, exceeding consumer expectations and outperforming competitors. Once again, it’s adding to the fashionable line. Already offered in a variety of vivid colors, the Original V4L Vapor King e-cigarette is now available in several more, only from Vapor4Life.

In addition to new colors, http://www.Vapor4Life.com has also broadened its selection of LEDs. The V4L Vapor King electronic cigarette?s LED, which serves as an indication of the battery?s activation during use, previously came in blue or green. Those options have tripled, with certain colors of batteries being available with pink, red, orange, or yellow LEDs.

The first generic e-cigarettes on the market imitated the appearance of traditional cigarettes, with white batteries and red LEDs. It quickly became clear that those who wanted a smoking alternative would also be interested in an alternative look. Even so, most e-cigarette companies offer little more than a black or silver option. Not so at Vapor4Life.

With its brand-new color choices, the Vapor4Life Original Vapor King electronic cigarette is now available in more colors than any other e-cigarette model. There are twelve beautiful e-cigarette battery colors available at http://www.Vapor4Life.com, including red, pink, rich purple, gold, gun metal, emerald green, light green, metallic blue, platinum, chrome, and the more traditional white and black.

V4L Original Vapor King electronic cigarettes not only come in more colors than any other e-cigarette–Vapor4Life customers can choose between single or multi-logo batteries. Single logo batteries display the signature V4L trademark with subtlety and class. And the multi-logo Original Vapor King is tailor made for those with a taste for high-fashion extravagance. The distinctive V4L logo is repeated on the battery in a pattern evocative of couture culture. This runway-ready V4L Vapor King will stay at the forefront of fashion, with an update to the popular design planned for later this year.

Vapor4Life also offers coordinating V4L exclusive standard and Premium cartomizers, e-cigarette carrying cases and charging cases to accessorize the rainbow of color options. Electronic cigarettes are not just an alternative to smoking now; they?re also more fashion friendly. Vapor4Life has firmly established itself at the top of the e-cigarette industry in terms of technology and customer service.

E-cigarette users with fashion sense know there?s only one destination that can satisfy their craving for color: http://www.Vapor4Life.com. Sales and customer feedback alike support the V4L strategy of appealing to the aesthetic sensibilities of the consumer. Devoted Vapor4Life customer-for-life Mary Kay loves coordinating her e-cigarette battery hues and colorful cartomizers to match her moods and ensembles. ?It makes me smile,? she says, doing just that. Comments like this one keep Vapor4Life on track; the company?s professed goal is to keep fans smilin? with premium products and the V4L Smilin? Warranty.

There’s much more to come, as V4L’s styles and options are updated on a regular basis. The company offers more color options than any other e-cigarette company, more flavor options, and more exclusive V4L technology than any single competitor. Vapor4Life takes customer demand seriously, and continually upgrades the V4L inventory to offer consumers the very best. Their customer service commitment has been proven again and again, as every V4L Original Vapor King e-cigarette purchased at http://www.Vapor4Life.com is backed up by the company?s sterling Smilin? Warranty. It?s the most comprehensive warranty offered by an electronic cigarette company, and Vapor4Life is dedicated to making it hassle-free.

E-cigarette developer and distributor of e-cigarettes and e-cigarette accessories Vapor4Life has refined their customer service policy. This update is available in full at the company?s website, http://www.Vapor4Life.com. Vapor4Life has gathered incredible momentum in the electronic cigarette industry through exclusive V4L product development and unparalleled dedication to customer satisfaction. Vapor4Life?s success can also be attributed to the company’s unwavering motivation to improve the V4L experience. The most recent manifestation of their tireless drive to exceed expectations comes in the form of a new, clearly stated customer service policy.

The V4L Smilin? Warranty has become a signature example of the exceptional value Vapor4Life offers its e-cigarette customers. Consumers shopping at http://www.Vapor4Life.com have already been surprised and gratified by V4L?s devotion to making their customers smile with no-hassle exchanges and replacements of e-cigarette hardware and other accessories.

Vapor4Life customer Ryanna S., of Hamilton, Ontario, shares her experience with V4L?s famous customer service:

?I had an issue with a V4L Vapor King electronic cigarette battery that was over-warranty, and I was hoping there was an easy way to fix it myself. Didn?t have much luck, but in the process of trying to figure it out, Steve [Vapor4Life President and CEO] offered to send me a brand new battery. It really made my day! They weren?t obligated in any way to do that; it was an old battery. I wasn?t complaining or asking for anything. It just goes to show that Steve cares about his customers and goes the extra mile to make things right?even when doing so isn?t his responsibility.?

The newly revised V4L customer service policy, soon to be available at http://www.Vapor4Life.com, will continue this tradition of treating consumers as valued members of the Vapor4Life family.

?We?ve experienced exponential growth in the past year,? Vapor4Life CEO Steve Milin explains, ?and formalizing our customer service policy is a way to continue offering our V4L family a great e-cigarette shopping experience. We take our position at the head of the electronic cigarette industry very seriously, and that means taking our customers? satisfaction seriously. Every single purchase from http://www.Vapor4Life.com, large or small, is an opportunity to uphold V4L?s outstanding reputation. This new policy will help our customers get the excellent service they deserve quickly and efficiently. This is just one more example of us raising the bar even higher.?

Terri H., a Vapor4Life enthusiast from Mineral, Virginia agrees. ?It?s so rare in this day and age to see a business that goes above and beyond. It?s actually a pleasure to contact Vapor4Life customer service. How many companies can you say that about? I mentioned a hardware problem in the comments of one of my orders, asking what steps to take, and when I received that order they?d already included the replacement! Talk about hassle-free! I already loved the company because of the V4L Vapor King e-cigarette and the e-cigarette cartomizer choices, but it?s the service that makes me a customer for life.?

It?s truly impressive that Vapor4Life has remained committed to this level of customer care as V4L grows. While some companies fall prey to using growth as an excuse for lackluster or impersonal service, Milin doesn?t believe in excuses.

?It doesn?t matter how big or successful a company is, the customer comes first,? he says. ?They?re family to me, and my goal is to put smiles on their faces. When they come to http://www.Vapor4Life.com, they?re getting the best e-cigarette products available and the best customer service in the industry.?

The newly streamlined V4L warranty covers the company?s exclusive electronic cigarette hardware and accessories and gives http://www.Vapor4Life.com customers a variety of convenient avenues for equipment exchanges and replacements.

Vapor4Life, LLC is a Northbrook, IL based distributor of personal vaporizer e-cigarettes and accessories.
