When my husband was waiting on his kit to come in that was on backorder, we hit up the mall to check out smoking everywhere. I looked at the products and I had already been doing online research. The price was LUDICROUS and I told her as much. I told the girl that I had found the product much cheaper online and she gave me the dirtiest look and said, "from THIS company?" So I told her, "No, but the company listed on the bag you have pinned up on the corner of your kiosk sells them cheaper I know for sure and the same exact models are available from other distributors for less than a 3rd of your price."

She then stopped talking to me and turned to my husband and tried to explain to him about their craptastic warranty, live support if he needed help he could come to their kiosk and they'd help him, blah blah blah yadda yadda. So he told her he'd think about it and she goes, "THINK about it???? What's there to think about?" Oh she was so nasty. The guy that walked away from her right before us I overheard her say, "stop wasting my time," because he told her that the sample drags he took off her atty were not as fulfilling as a smoke.

So anyway, I'd totally be down for selling some kits to the public next to her kiosk at $75 a pop... I just have a feeling that Paul Blart Mall Cop would show up and escort me out lol.

I must say though that I would have never heard of e-smoking if not for the fact that my husband's shipmate (he's navy) had not been vaping in the barracks and explained what it was to my hub which in turn got my husband to have me do some research on it - the shipmate got scammed by smokingeverywhere at the same mall. So yes, some good can arise from the scammers but in the long run they're gonna ruin it for everyone with all their boisterous health claims and smoking cessation claims.

They're not REALLY ripping off Marlboro's signature box design, are they? I see a lawsuit ahead that will mean yet more negative publicity for the e-cig.

I thought it was the smoking cessation devices the FDA allowed and the drug-delivery systems the FDA don't like?

Doesn't almost every market have high end retailers?
You can shop Wal-mart (like me) or pay fancy shmancy mall prices for pretty much the same thing.
Rent, lower volume sales (when compared to wally world) and advertising dollars all have to come from somewhere.

Besides, somebody's gotta pay Mr. Sterns salary, better them than me, in the form of higher subscription prices. lol

You can't fix stupid.
I hope the FDA goes after them.

Add Blu and Smoke Everywhere to crap list of sellers. My guess that the frustration level with these type of sellers actually turns more people off PV's. And they know they are selling crap and could care less. Just mini Bernie Madoffs.

lol you are right.

The thing I worry about is these idiots scammers and opportunist ruining it for those who are doing it right. Although there are some real piece of **** companies out there they aren't all bad but will probably end up suffering as well.

on more than 1 occasion i have turned down FREE product to review , because the vendor making the offer to me was also making absurd claims like that and charging WAAAAY to much for starter kits.
