deankenny Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I run my own business selling electronic cigarettes, accessories and e-liquid. Ive recently moved in the past 6 months, not town, just to a different part of town, buying house etc Anyway, i have alot of offline customers, who buy thier e-cig goods straight from me, they just come and knock on the door and shop. So last week i had a knock at the door, 2 policemen were stood there, and one man in a suit, had a prelimanary warrant to search my house for drugs haha, so of course i let them in and let them free to do what they want. One cop stayed with me while the others searched, he said we have had worrys, reports from neighbours who are suspicous of my activity, because within few months of moving here i appear with this really sexy looking sports car all of a sudden (the Zed of course) and as we all know, with subtle mods they look like they are worth alot more than they actually worth. With that and the fact the neighbours have seen numerous characters enter my house and leave with asda or tesco bag full of "unknown goods". Needless to say, when i explained the situation, and shown them the business and the website and all my stock, the cops ended up sat on my sofa with a coffee having a right old laugh over the whole situation. They were not allowed to tell me which neighbours it was, but said they will notify them of the "LEGAL" activity going on with the explanation of a sexy sports car appearing overnight haha. Sorry if this bored any of you, but since the Zed was involved in this suspicious activity i thought id share this for a little afternoon laugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deankenny Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Good story..just jealous, Dean. I mean to be fair, we have a couple of elderly neighbours, so i cant blame them really. They dont see me leave for work or come home from work, because i work from home, so must wonder how i support or all i have, and i would probably be the same if i saw this in my area.

Stutopia Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does this now give you carte blanche to start pedalling the hard stuff? They'll not be round again, probably. This time next year you could have a lambo as an everyday car! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Forum discount for the e-liquids? Are they the ones in orange and grey box? If they are you may have a little trouble coming to you soon about the lack of info on the packaging. Council shut my local e-cig shop down because of it until he sourced different liquids which meet the requirements.

Yeh they are hot on it, alot of vendors out there just sell a bottle with flavour on it, but all our bottles come with all the warning logos, instructions of what to do if swallowed, ingredients AND a tactile warning for the blind also, i been checked twice so far, and been pukka both times. All our liquids come direct from Hangsen and have the certificates with each delivery of all safety passed . Cowboys out there ordering bulk from china then reselling for some easy money, will get caught in the end Edited March 4, 2013 by deankenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
