What's the worst e-cig related thing you've bought?

What's the biggest turkey you've bought? Mine is an e-pipe from ........... Just does not work, occasionally you get a puff of vapour, most of the time your cheeks hurt and you get nothing.

Who else has regretted an impulse (or any other) buy?

i bought the loongtotem and the battery died within 4 weeks. and of course you only get the one battery. most other dealers give you two. I also bought the ecig mini about 4 weeks ago and while the money came from my account straight away I still havent received the product.

my e-cig new mini is going on seven weeks waiting now.. they quite clearly dont have any...

we quite liked the e-cig pipes thow pete.. they had to be direct dripped then worked perfectly.. for an average of two weeks.. he he he

we got thru about ten or twelve of the things before we gave up and decided they were simply too expensive to keep replacing..

There's definitely something wrong with this one, doesn't matter if I drip or use the carts, it just does not vape. I feel a dissection coming on. Can't even use the batteries in the screwdriver

What was the main cause of failure on the pipes Trog? Bad atomizer or something else?

they have what i would describe as a solid state relay in them..

the little suck switch dosnt power the heater coil directly.. it triggers a power transistor which then powers the heater coil.. these quite simply die.. when they do u get nothing no l led light just a dead pipe..

the other factor is they turn from power house to wimp after say three weeks heavy use..

there isnt much can be done with the things.. we tried very hard with them cos they really did work well at first but after ten or twelve gave up on them..

another piece of chinese utter madness..all that nice work for bugger all...

still it keeps the chinese in jobs..
