Products and suppliers consumers should be warned about

[Psyclown]

I can't say anything about JC customer service, as we bought through a third part. I will say it's a shame about the nicquid because I really did enjoy the flavor. I just can't personally bring myself to risk more atomizers on it. I'll let others take the gamble for now, and perhaps all the problems will be remedied and at some point I'll regain enough confidence in them to buy another batch.

I did watch Leafords retest, and he did not seem to have any problems. I'd probably have just gotten replacement liquid if not for the fact that it was 2 different sample packs and all 20 bottles had the same issue.

I sincerely hope they can work all the kinks out with their product. Not only were the flavors pleasant and original, but I like the idea of a product made in the US instead of China. Haven't had a chance to check out the stuff the UK has to offer, but it's on my list.

bought through a third party, that is. Slip of the ol' finger and I can't edit my posts yet.

Kate, could you please refine that? The word Health is often used on packaging from other manufacturers as well. Since the Health brand you mean doesn't have many different devices for sale it perhaps would be a good idea to put them in the OP. For example, the black and gold mini from Litecig USA is absolutely not from the same factory as the ones Deal Extreme is selling.

Yes Yo Han, I apologise, I didn't realise there was more than one source for Health products. The ones I've heard about that have high failure rates and have been known to catch fire are from Dealextreme. There are threads about them here:

New Health e-cig model

Deal Extreme Health E-cigar (ruyan vegas copy)

I have to add that some people are happy with these products, consumers will no doubt use their own judgement when making a decision on whether to buy or not.

And don't forget these:
DealExtreme: $27.90 Health Electronic 2*Cigarettes with Chargers and 10-Refills Set
In fact most of the e-smoking products I've ordered from DX are bad quality.

So the word "Health" became a curse word because some chinese company messed up. Priceless...

Here's one. The canadian retail chain "Showcase: As seen on TV" has just started carrying the "Quantum e-cigarette" Looks like a generic penstyle with one difference.......
NO HOLES IN THE ATOMIZER!!!
that's right, a no-hole atomizer. there is nowhere to draw air in once the battery is screwed on. Little to no vapour production and the 8 carts included are all 0 nicotine. It's being marketed PURELY as a stop smoking device. How is that even possible if it dosen't have any draw? Don't let the low low price of $69.99 tempt you. It's crap. My new favorite pastime led me to make a hasty decision and buy this thing without thorough inspection. And of course, 14 day return only on defective units for store credit. No warranty. I just hope the batteries fit the penstyle I have on order from epuffer.com. At least I have an atomizer to demolish and play with and MAYBE even wiggle it into a REAL e-cig if my forthcoming atomizers die out of warranty.

I just want to update this thread with regards Johnson Creek.

From what I can gather there have been three different batches, the first and second had problems with killing atomisers etc. but it sounds like it's been sorted with the third batch. Recent reports are promising, clear liquid and no atomiser problems. Fingers crossed that the old batches are out of the system now and we won't be hearing any more about them.

For the benefit of Australians, could you add the Review of "Egar" to the list? (Other victims have added their experiences - it's not just me.)

Thanks.
