You're right in some ways, Darcy, but I am going to reward innovation whenever I can. Whether it comes from Health or Ruyan or LoongTotem or GreenCig. Some company has got to move e-smoking forward because today it's a disaster of failed products, burned-up atomizers, leaking liquids, "guaranteed" parts that are really disposables, too little vapor, inadequate battery life, pathetic nic hits, grossly overpriced pieces .. need I go on?

The Health pack is a great concept. And just what can anyone expect for $17 and free shipping from China? I can barely get an empty core sent for that total!

The thing is not nearly as good as more expensive products. That's for sure. I'm using my Kissbox frequently since the Health just can't cut it for vapor, easy draw, battery life or nic hit. But I'm not unhappy with this one. Not like I'm unhappy with everything about E-Cig. DealExtreme has always been fast and fair with me. Can't say that for E-Cig. Their Olympic torch e-cig undoubtedly has a life span equal to the opening ceremonies .. if it works at all.

Just had a couple of images collide in my head. Human rights campaigners fighting with the Olympic torch security detail all mixed up with anti-smoking nutters fighting with me as I gamely strive to keep my e-torch alight...

i cant wait to test the voltage on the battery, perhaps it is the only problem..i reckon they save on cash with a low capacity battery on the cheapie cheaps. if we can find a good alternative one to fit, we might be in business.

yes,i agree that innovation is important and exciting...but if the effort to innovate is made,then shouldnt the effort also be made to make a decent product?otherwise whats the point?

to me its fundamental that a device should deliver the basics well,regardless of price...if it doesnt do that,then all the innovation in the world doesnt matter.

and remember-ecig.com developed the E-pack ages ago...basically the same idea...and it was rubbish too...

its a good idea...lets hope someone makes a worthwhile version...this ones a toy.

Please do, I was rather enjoying readign the truth abotu htezxe devices lol- I absolutely agree- The first company to address all those issues AND be a disposable, will be rich and have dedicated customers hwo will be quite satisfied.

Slthough todays devices are just asyou describe, I still am not dissappointed I jumped on the wagon- I've certainly had a lot of fun- expensive fun, but meh- if I were able to, I'd be out drinking this money away anyways- thank goodness I'm not able to, and can instead spend the $$ on somethiogn that has provided much entertainment and experimentation with. The device I have is adequate- not spectacular, but just ok- But I'm thinking the Ruyan throwaway will help bolster my exprience- a good htrowaway, good vapor, pretty good hit, above average taste accordign to most, good battery, lasts a long time, refillable if you so desire, and not too expensive. It seems to meet soem of the issues you list, at least on paper, will see if it lives up to my hopes when it arrives

The battery that came with the Health pack died on Day 5. I'll see how responsive DealExtreme is in replacing it. But ...

The old battery soldiers on.

Just as the shorter battery for the LoongTotem doesn't work as well as the longer one, the longer one for my old Health proves much better on this pack model. And it does screw into the pack's charger (I also have the original charger that came with the old Health mini cig).

I am now using the Health pack with the old long battery periodically (I greatly prefer my Janty Kissbox and have no desire to punish myself with less capable devices except for diversion). Also enjoying the minicigarette.net 903. So the Health isn't being heavily tested at this time.
