    Default Saw this on TV and heard it on the radio.. in UTAH all today..

    smokeassassin.com

    They are offering some sort of free trial offer etc.. but it really looks like very over priced 401's or 401 knockoff, claims of pack/pack and a half per cart... i cant believe these guys are on tv.. what the heck.. My dad is like.. do you know this guy? wont his business detract from yours?? well. im not worried.. but i think its a bad idea to be all over the radio and on tv right now.

    The free trial is you just pay for shipping then in 7 days if you dont cancel you get auto enrolled into there autoship program for something around $100 a month. They wont have an issue with the FDA for there claims since they ship with 0 Nicotien. They have tons of money and are good marketers.
    That being said they will end up screwing up the ECig market for US retailers.

    Run, run, run from this "offer" I foolishly tried such an offer for acai berry. I even read the disclaimer, saying my credit card would be automatically billed after the "trial" period. As soon as I ordered, I started trying to call to cancel. I could never get through to them. I wrote to the area BBB and then asked my credit card to deny the coming charge. Luckily, they did, and I was never charged; but it was a major hassle. This practice should be illegal.

    The product pictures are not even the same e-cig from one page to another.
    At BEST it's a health -ecig or generic 401. $25 value at best.

    I called them and the deal they told me about was a free starter kit if you bought five packs of carts for $70.00. I told the sales lady that that was way too much for carts and while I was on the phone I had her look up LitCigUSA.net. She actually apologized and told me she'd have to tell her boss about it. LOL!

    Not only that, but they're itching to get hit with a trademark infringment lawsuit from PM for using the Marlboro box design. Not a good idea on their part.
