Well on the 21st June 2009 E-cigcity opened it's door to the world Shocked

As a new person to vaping in Feb 2009 I picked up my 1st ecig a 901.
After getting into cart filling, charging cycles and untold other little niggles,
my vaping world was looking great.
When a few batts died around March 2009 I started to disect them.
And discovered the wonderful world of ecig modification.

My 1st creation was a passthrough as I wanted to build a sturdy constant power source. I was working from home and on the PC for hours on end.
Below is a pic of the prototype.

This rapidly developed and became the passthrough sold today through liberty flights.
As you can see I was at that point still wanting the end glow to mimic a huge cig, lol

The modding bug had well and truly given me a bite.
Things were coming thick and fast and I was buying batteries to rip apart.
Some very kind forum members started saving dead parts for me to experiment with.
Without those kind people I could have not continued my modding quest.
The next batch of experiments were e cig adapters, long before the mass produced ones Wink

Made from old atomisers any combo was possible.
In the pic my 1st 510 to 901 and it looks huge, lol

People started showing an interest in the passthroughs and adapters.
So I started to sell a few through PM's etc.
The demand started to grow and so did the workshop.

I decided to take the plunge develope a site and sell the passthroughs and adapters.
soon followed by torch and box mods.
I wanted to provide a service I would expect from others, and hope I have.
I found it fascinating that people from all over the world were buying my stuff.
And I kept saying this will all stop in a few weeks.
But the orders kept coming, lol

I think it was Dec 2009 I had a conversation with Abe.
It was decided then that I would shift my products to LF and the relationship was born.

So there you have the very brief history of e-cigcity's 1st year.
We will be 1 on the 21st June 2010.
And a huge thank you to everyone who has made this year a fantastic one.

I'm sure I will be running a little birthday comp or two Wink

June 21st? The Summer solstice? The longest day of the year? In a shed?

I'll be up late, vaping on my LG Terminator, wishing you all the best on your birthday.

I'll also be struggling to install iOS 4 on my iPhone...

Congratulations garry and e-cig city!


If it wasn't for the passthrough and little gem later on, I think I would have given up on vaping. My first and best mods. Many thanks.

Congratulations Garry,

May the Force be with you always.

I'm sure your Mods have helped many people avoid the evil weed that is tobacco. Therefore you  have saved many lives and are a hero in the true sense of the word.

I was once a factory PV vaper, but then you kindly ran a competition and I was luck enough to win a GDPT. WoW. The difference it made to my vaping experience was tremendious. I am now the proud owner of that GDPT, a big box mod (did you ever name him?) and a LGSW.

All Hail Garry Dibley, King of the Modders.

A GD passthrough with internal battery and charging socket at end? How come this never went into production? I'd buy one of those! Me and every other GDPT owner I suspect.

That torch passthrough looks brilliant.


I guess the passthrough with battery didn't run at 5v?


I want them anyway!

I was just thinking the same!

Happy anniversary Garry!  You've been supplying me with wonderful new vaping gear since last August - looking forward to seeing what the next year brings for you (and us).  Smiley
