mCig, Inc. Provides Update on mCig 2.0 Launch
December 19 2013 - 10:00AM
mCig, Inc. (OTCQB:MCIG) is pleased to provide its customers and
investors with an update on the upcoming launch of the highly
anticipated mCig 2.0. The company is pleased to report that
preliminary and advanced testing has been successfully completed.
The mCig 2.0 has now been cleared for mass production with an
anticipated ship date of December 30 for customers who pre-ordered
the mCig. Furthermore, we anticipate to be fulfilling all incoming
orders by the first week of January 2014.
"We are extremely proud to present the mCig 2.0 which has been
in development for nearly six months and was fast-tracked following
the successful launch of the mCig 1.0. Originally the company had
intended on releasing an improved mCig 1.0 that addressed some of
the concerns voiced by our loyal customers. After careful
deliberations, we decided that by concentrating our energies we
could successfully advance one generation forward and launch a new
and improved mCig (2.0)," said Mark Linkhorst, COO of mCig,
Inc.
mCig 2.0 – The Bar Has Been Raised
- The new mCig carries a 360mAh Battery as opposed to 280mAh; we
achieved this by engineering a wider albeit shorter battery. The
entire mCig is actually 1/2 inch shorter than the original mCig
making it more convenient to carry around.
- The LED light at the tip has been replaced by a proprietarily
designed LED button/voltage control. By removing the LED at the
tip, the new mCig provides more privacy allowing users to enjoy the
mCig without attracting as much attention. The LED button lights up
when turning the mCig on, when choosing a desired heating voltage,
and when pressed down to heat up the plant material.
- Variable Heat Settings – 3.3, 3.5, 3.7 volts. By controlling
the heat settings the mCig is better suited for personalized wax
and dry leaf heating. Users can easily switch between the two and
achieve the desired setting based on personal preference.
- Silicon Heat Shield – Some previous users of the mCig
complained about overheating. We solved this issue by including a
silicon heat protector between the mCig battery and the heating
chamber.
- Wider Heating Chamber – The single most important improvement
comes in the form of the heating chamber. The previous mCig version
had a thin heating chamber causing clogs which resulted in users
having trouble cleaning out plant material after use. In some cases
this led to users breaking the heating coil by being overly
aggressive. We have solved this issue by widening the heating
chamber. This allows for much more room when packing plant material
and when cleaning after use. More importantly, the wider heating
chamber allows for the insertion of a separately sold glass
chamber. By utilizing the glass chamber mCig users will be getting
a 100% true vaporizing experience which will require a longer heat
up time. Other benefits include quick and easy cleaning as no plant
material touches the heating coil. The wider chamber adapts
easily for rapid-reload chambers for users on the go, who need a
drop in/drop out reload.
- Horizontal Heating Coil – We completely re-engineered the
heating coil with it being inlaid horizontally. When packing plant
material directly there will be less risk of damage given that the
internal architecture will not create pressure blocks. Internal
testing has shown that heated plant material falls out easily after
use, requiring less manual cleaning.
- Thicker Silicon Mouthpiece – The new mouthpiece is thicker and
wider, allowing for more airflow while protecting from
overheating.
The new mCig is designed for two types of users:
- The professional or advanced user who will most probably elect
for a true vaporizing experience, requiring the glass insert. This
experience will require a higher voltage and longer heat up time
(20-40 seconds) but will provide a classic vaporizing experience
achieved at an unrivaled price point.
- The recreational user who enjoys the unique mCig heating
experience. This can be experienced by inserting the dry leaf, wax,
or herbs directly into the heating chamber just like the previous
mCig version and using any heat setting requiring as little as 3
seconds and as long as 10 seconds to heat up.
All of these features are packed into one device that will
retail for only $10. Domestic Shipping & Handling starts at
$2.99. Canadian Shipping is $6.99, and International Shipping for
up to 8 devices is $10. Order an mCig today by visiting:

"As our loyal customers can see, we have put a lot of time,
effort, and thought into developing what we believe will be the
industry standard herbal electronic cigarette. We sincerely
apologize to those customers who have been patiently waiting for
their replacement mCig or customers with pre-orders which we
greatly appreciate. We promise to satisfy you expeditiously and
with priority. We want to ensure you are satisfied with our
products and our company. Thank you for your continued support and
loyalty," said Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc.
New photos and videos of the mCig 2.0 will be uploaded over the
course of the next few weeks.
About mCig, Inc.
mCig, Inc. (OTCBB:MCIG) is a technology company focused on two
long-term secular trends sweeping the globe: (1) The
decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or
recreational purposes (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing
cigarettes (commonly known as "eCigs") by the world's 1.2 Billion
smokers. The company has developed the mCig – a purpose built
loose leaf eCig retailing at only $10. Designed in the USA – the
mCig provides a superior smoking experience by heating plant
material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation
experience. See more at: http://www.mcig.org/
The company believes that a well regulated marijuana industry is
emerging as more states follow the lead of Washington and Colorado
in legalizing marijuana. A similar trend is developing within the
eCig industry following the first acquisition of an electronic
cigarette brand (Blucigs) by a traditional tobacco company
Lorillard Inc. for $135 million. Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog
estimates that eCig sales may rise from $1 Billion in 2013 to $10
billion over the next three years.
mCig, Inc. (OTCBB:MCIG) has positioned itself as a first mover
at the intersection of these two trends and hopes to create
shareholder value by making the mCig one of the leading choices for
electronic consumption of plant material. - See more
