Products and suppliers reported as unreliable

[topcaterer]

I recently purchased one from a company named Cigotine. They seem to have a good product. Ive tried others but this is the first one so far that i like. They have an economical starter pack that lets you try it before you go and make the $130 investment

[quote=Kate;55812]I forgot to mention Gamucci in my initial post. Their ecigs aren't well regarded here and they don't appear to honour their warranty.

Here are some links to some relevant threads -



I was about to order some!!

I ordered a Blu starter kit on June 17th but got tired of waiting for it. Bought an NPRO at a Pilot station and later ordered a Titan 510 from Totally Wicked. Followed up with smoke juice from Totally Wicked and Johnson Creek, bought more 4081 atomizers and batteries from a couple other places. $470 so far.

And I still hadn't received the Blu...

I cancelled that order yesterday.

I was about to order the BLU, because customers had asked for it. I have the NPRO, the smoking every where gold, 2.0, the mini and the health e... so far i've been most happy with the Vapor King, The Mini is great too...

Like apparently many other poor suckers, I made the mistake of trying Gamucci first. As far as I'm concerned, Gamucci is the ShamWow of e-cigs.

I have had zero trouble with my Gammy and they sent me four new atty's when complained....
I complained about the shipping time for two spare burners I ordered, they lost my order so when I complained and proved to them they had been paid, they sent me 6 new burners!

Crown7 was my FIRST experience with e-cigs because they are located in Scottsdale,AZ right here in USA. I purchased the Hydro because of all the hype on their website about it being the NEW thing and more in line with the look of an actual cigarette. Everything I ordered came lightening FAST... UPS. I was truly disappointed in the amount of vapor the Hydro produced, sometimes near zero even with a new cartridge and fully charged battery. I email their support and received a response ASAP within less then 5 hours saying they would send a new replacement atomizer. It showed up in 2 days along with another new battery. Sadly to say, it didn't last long before it was back to producing near nothing for vapor. I wrote them again... and totld them I would just rather have my money back and they replied quickly with the proposed TRADE for their Traditional E-cigarette. So I mailed everything I got from them back to them and within days I received the Traditional which is more of a Pen Type e-cig. This baby WORKS! The batteries are longer in length and have a good hold charge rating compared to anything else I have tried and the cartridges stay in play for hours on end. It also packs a pretty good throat hit, therefore not requiring you to draw on it forever to get a good hit. I would never advocate for anyone to buy the dysfunctional HYDRO by crown7, BUT I would certainly highly recommend their Traditional Pen Style e-cig for daily heavy use. I am a hardcore vapor nut and need a unit that kicks butt. I have several different E-cig kits from various US suppliers, and my all time favorite thus this far is Crown7's Traditional. Plus their customer service has been above and beyond many others by far.

The only other company that has a Super customer support is greensmoke.com , and the ONLY reason I tried their product is because they sell a TWO piece e-cig that utilizes a NEW atomizer with every cartridge. I'm not sure at this point if that is so necessary, seems like a waste and so far I don't think anyone has found a way to refill the cartridges. You are suppose to send them back to greensmoke for recycling. And I am not sure what incentives they have for you to spend your money to send the empties back to them. Their e-cig puts off some mean vapor, but does not pack a punch like the Crown7 Traditional, so you find yourself hitting the greensmoke more often and harder... not so good in my opinion... but it looks better out in public and is more impressive. Plus the batteries don't seem to last for more then a few hours at best. Nice charging units come with it... USB and AC, 2 batteries and 5 carts. VERY PRICEY Unit ! Not recommended because of that $$$ reason.

I recently ordered the TITAN from Totally Wicked and am ANXIOUS to see how it will perform. Though I don't like having to spend time to mix e-liquid and fill cartridges... but I guess it's something I need to get used to doing.

One supplier to Totally Stay Away from is keepsmokinginside.com , very unresponsive, no email correspondence at all, and lies to you over the phone. Paypal push for resolution on the transaction and seller rushed delivery. Completely JUNK product !! You sometimes get exactly what you pay for. And you MUST do your research before buying anything from anyone selling E-cigs now a days. Sellers are popping up like corn in IOWA right now.

Hope some of this helps a few of you in one way or another. I'm new the forum and have learned a lot in just a very short time about vaping products and suppliers, plus much more.

..........
I ordered my first e-cig (MiniCig) from .......... Dec.01'08. Both batteries crapped out after only 18 days. Now I have a ton of carts and no way to use them. After several attempts to email .......... about the issue I finally received help with the online chat Rep on their site. Be warned, ya better know the warranty or they'll try to scam ya into thinking you gotta pay for shipping or buy more products so they can throw the replacement batteries in for free with the order.
Wished I would've found and read through this forum before I bought from them. Oh well, as long as they make good on the replacement batteries it'll be "acceptable" service, but nothing great by far!!! Guess I'll find out in a few weeks, mailing them back the dead batteries tomorrow. I will not be ordering from them ever again that's for sure. I did like that lil' MiniCig though....before it died.

I now await my DSE 901b from Katy....I love her already!

those carts if they are e-cigs e9 will work with smoke51's duo or with loong totem's v9. But all the carts I got from e-cig went bad in about a month so it might be too late.

I am so unhappy and disappointed with The digital Smoke Shop. Decisions like starting something new like this doesn't come easy nor does the money.

We have been researching e-cigs for awhile which includes lurking here and reading alot. Obviously not enough.Anyway we finally decided to buy. I see THE digital smoke shop and the dude here on this forum with no negative reviews so I give the guy a try.

I first had to I wait over the 4th of July weekend for paypal to process the money transfer.I ordered our starter kit on Tuesday and recieved someone else's charger and battery today. I have a package I don't want and can't use. I am out fifty some dollars.


Maybe I have crappy instincts,other places were out of product and impatience made me have an itchy trigger finger. Maybe I shouldn't judge a 5 day wait to get a product I didn't order.
*sarcasm*


I'll let you know if a replacement comes in the mail. It looks like this may have happened to him at one time so maybe he will be an ace and send me a replacement.

Mini 84 from E-Cigarette-USA.Com is a worthless device. I originally ordered 2 of these kits and was highly disappointed with the first kit. I contacted the proprietor of the site and here was his lame attempt to shove me off.

Hey Brian.

It is sound like you are a heavy smoker.
This mini cigarette is the smallest and lightest in the market.
It is not the monster of vapor creator but it does deliver the nicotine that
a person needs.
If you feel that you want to get something that create more vapor and for
last longer time I recommend you try a bigger size model.
Thank you and we can talk on Monday again.

Sincerely,
Al.

Ther Mini84 battery lasts 30minutes under normal use. The carts are prefilled and are not that good. His site said nothing about the kits being a Mint flavored starter kit and came pre-primed with mint on the atomizer (for a non-menthol smoker that really sucked). Vapor production was non-existent with the prepackaged carts. Vape production increased with my own liquid (Wicked 36mg Marl cut 35-40% with VG). I am awaiting a response from the guy to see if he will accept return of the second kit for store credit, will update this post accordingly
