**Tex** · 01-01-2009, 06:27 PM

Well my husband and I had never heard of ecigs until last week he came across a video on youtube the guy was demonstrating ecigs from smoking everywhere well we were just amazed and wanted to try it out and since we planned on going to Dallas tomorrow we were going to go to the mall in grapevine and buy 2 starter kits,

I keep questioning my husband because they cost so much so he started searching the web and found puresmoker.com and then this forum and he and I have been reading everything on the forum and placed our first order last night at puresmoker with Steve

We are both so excited ! And I know we are going to have tons of questions

I've already got 1 question for sure and that's the best flavors to try and from where to get them.

sorry for babbling and getting off topic I'm just so excited cause most everyone here on the forum has had such great success with stopping reg cigs

The same thing happened to me about a month ago..I feel your pain and frustration.Just try to look at this as a learning experience, and how you found this forum and tons of info about e-cigs.. Keep reading posts and ask questions and it will be all good. Did you find puresmoker yet? Watch his vids on his website and you will see first hand what his products are like, I finally ordered a black 901 with pink led today and i can't wait to get it..
Good luck and a very happy e-smokin new year...2009

Wow, I actually did something right for a change!

Yeah, you did something right. I bought from them impulsively. very poor service, and it was a super mini. Bat battery, responded he'd tell me of some service center near me, i.e. rather than replace it. That was a week or so ago. No way I'd recommend them.

Steve kicks butt! I bought a few esmokes from him now. I've had the Marlboro carts which are ok. I just got some Cash Cola in the mail and it tastes GOOD! I head often that Riskee (Carmel Flavor) is the best, but he didn't have it in high or medium when I went to purchase it. I have Green Apple and French Vanilla coming in the mail so I'll let you know how they taste.

I've been smoking the medium coke flavor, but I find it just isn't high enough nic for me, I'm going to order some in high once Steve has it in stock. (By the way I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro lights and I find the High Carts work the best for me, you may be different though)

try the pina colada...mmm, mmm....

Thought I'd weigh in.

Have 3 kids, grandfather dying from emphysema, been smoking for 17 yrs. I work out all the time, 5 years in the Marine Corps...figured I love nicotine (cigars, cloves, cigarettes, pipes, dip...anything w/ Nic) but don't want to die early from my own stupidity.

While Christmas shopping I saw "smoke anywhere", bought it at the mall at the aforementioned outrageous price. Been tobacco free for about 7 days now but I need a much better electronic nicotine inhaler device.

In the mail:

1) Puresmoker penstyle kit...as everyone says: Steve, at puresmoker.com is beyond great. Also got over 150 ml of nicquid. (Bought 2 extra batteries, 2 extra atomizers and tons of blank carts)

2) Trog's ScrewDriver

3) 2 DSE901 atomizers from puresmoker.com and a bunch of blank carts to supplement the ScrewDriver. An extra pack of 4 batteries to fit the SD.

I figure if I'm going to do this, why not go all out and get it right in the first place.

I'm figuring out that the gear addiction is almost worse than the smoking addiction.

Anyway, back to the original post: "Smoke anywhere" rocks, if it wasn't for them I'd still be smoking, not vaping. It was one of those glorious mistakes that we all make in life that lead to something better.

Went back to the mall twice, and the guy I bought the Smoking Everywhere from wasn't working either day. The guy that was working said "no refunds" and I tried to call the main company a couple of times and just got a voice mail recording. Decided to just forget it (not worth the stress

) and will just keep it as a spare (as long as I can refill the cartridges) and don't have to give them another dime!

I will look into filing complaints where I am able to... and anything else to warn others to do their research before purchasing from Smoking Everywhere.

I did buy two of the 901's for hubby & I from Steve at puresmoker.com along with some extra goodies that were sent on 12/31 so hoping to get them tomorrow or Sat.. .. and also bought a couple of the JC sampler packs & a few other extras on their 20% off sale... so will be anxiously waiting at the mailbox for all of our new goodies!

Also - to those that want to give "credit" to Smoking Everywhere for letting people "know" that e-cigs do exist... I totally agree that credit is due there. I would not have known about e-cigs (at least yet) if it were not for Smoking Everywhere. BUT... I have had a home business for over 10 years with a company that has been in existence since 1868... and has ALWAYS offered a 100% refund on any of their products, and for ANY reason... even if a customer doesn't like the coloring of their packaging! Because their products are very high quality, they get very few returns... but the consumer knows that this company stands behind their products. I have no doubt that dealing with quality products... AND a 100% money back guarantee IS the reason I still have a successful business with this company. While Smoking Everywhere may get away with what they are doing right now... their poor quality and "no return policy" in the end will get them a big fat nothing in this market.

I agree, profiteering will only last so long, it's not a good long term strategy. They may be getting the sales now but when consumers become informed they won't be recommended.

I found the company's phone number on the internet and called and talked to some guy named "Ethan" who said he was an owner and would send me a new kit. 2 weeks later, I got a poorly wrapped package containing only one battery, that now lasted about 3 hours!

I called back and could never get "Ethan" on the phone again, but another person who spoke broken English told me to return it to the store (I live in California!). I asked him if I could mail it back for a refund, and he then told me that the carts were franchises and that I'd have to send it back to them!

Meanwhile, a local cigar shop had another brand, "SmokeStik USA," which I was able to try and purchase for $69.95, and that included 10 cartridges. The battery lasted almost all day, and when I called the company to ask them if I could buy another atomizer, the guy who answered, "Brian," who actually spoke ENGLISH sent me an additional atomizer at no additional cost and some coupons for discounts on cartridges! I've been using their product for about 3 weeks now and am thoroughly pleased, although I gave myself quite a head rush with the HIGH cartridges the first day!

I contacted the BBB in Florida and it appears that Smoking Everywhere already has a bunch of complaints, but I added mine to the list; it can't hurt.

I now have a beautifully boxed Smoking Everywhere kit for sale - slightly used

- any takers? Do I hear $5? $10? Going once...

I just got my SmokeStik Junior (4801) starter kit on Tuesday just in time for new years. I'm in Canada so I ordered from the Canadian division (smokestik.com). The service was real quick and because im in Canada there were no duties or brokerage fees. There is also a link to their US division on their site for US customers.

It works great and as sassy said the battery lasts all day long. I'll come back on in a few days and let you all know how its holding up but so far its great.

Based on my experience I would highly recommend them.
