Look at this ..... trying to rip people off!

Smoke Assassin Quit Smoking Today

This guy had a radio add that said: "I want you to quit so bad, that I'll give you this starter kit for FREE!" When asked what the gimmick was, he said "all you have to do is pay for the cartridges..." Sounds pretty reasonable right? Wrong.

He's selling his 20 pack of cartridges for $70.

We need to have an ad or commercial put out that explains the CORRECT prices and steers people away from stupid gimmicks like this guy.

Other stupid money scheme places are InLife and Smokeacali, I'm sure theres more out there too.

omg I heard that on my satellite radio a few days ago and thought hmmmmm..... people are falling for that crap just like the Smoke Anywhere, Green Smoke, etc. WAY overpriced crap! I feel for the people who actually do pay for those carts which they say last an entire pack and we all know if you get 4-5 smokes worth you're lucky!

Dont forget greensmoke, among the others
The biggest issue that I have with stuff like that is the fact that they lie so much. Claiming each cartridge is like a pack, or I have even seen some claim they are xx cartridges that equal a carton. Where did they get all this info? FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM!

The biggest issue is the places dont care what people say as long as they sell the product. And they have like 3 tiered affiliates so it looks just like a pyramid scheme.

Looks like a Bulgarian reseller would do LOL

Nice little scam here eh?
Such a deal they got for you .... 1 battery, 1 atty, 4 carts... all yours for the measly sum of $99.00.
Oh hell.....they're small.... get 2!!!!

On the plus side, at least e-cigs are getting some public exposure. If it wern't for a guy at work here getting one, I never would have heard of them.

Granted, people will get the wrong idea about the cost from these rip-off companies, but at least people will be aware of the existance of e-cigs / personall vaporizers / mini fog machines.

I just saw Smoking Everywhere at the mall- There best kit is 200$. I should stand next to him selling 510 kits for 75$

After I got ripped off by smoking everywhere it got me to the forum
So some good will come from it in the end but they will feel so stupid

As with any good thing you will always have a few rip-off artists making an extra buck off unsuspecting people.

If they say in the ad "I want you to quit so bad...", then they are marketing it as a smoking cessation device, and are just ASKING for trouble from the FDA. They won't be in business very long with that strategy.
