    I will say that on the multipack batteries and attys, that they only guarantee them against DOA, not on lasting. It does make them cheaper, but if one dies after a couple of days, you might as well have bought a regular one since it's wasted.

    Though so far, from TW, I have 3 batteries. 2 from the starter kit, and 1 mega, and they STILL keep going!

    Magestrom, the multipack attys work fine - it was the two batteries that came in my starter kit that didn't work :-/

    Oh Cheese and Crackers!

    Things have gone from worse to.... uh.... worser...

    I got home from work and opened the juice I received with order #2, and half of it had leaked into the box and on the outside of the bottle (despite plastic cap).

    I think I'm cursed!

    Grrr! Wish I could edit my posts

    To clarify, I opened the box that contained the juice bottle, and it had leaked out (apparently during shipment) before I opened the bottle.

    Sounds a little odd considering TW ships all their juices with child proof caps...was the cap broken?

    no single individual can paint the true picture based on their own very limitedly experience of the e cig seller scene in general..

    all they can do is paint their own very small part of the big picture.. TW has thousands of customers.. most get a (relatively) good experience a small number get a bad one..

    e cig battereis for those who have real knowledge of the subject are not exactly the most reliable things on the planet..

    people who do research into the e cig scene would know this.. it was said long long ago.. never just buy a single starter kit.. always buy some spares in at the same time..

    okay.. it could be said this situation is far from ideal.. but its the situation we have at the moment.. perhaps the sellers are wrong for not making this "unreliability" factor clearer but if they did folks would buy from someone else who embellished the truth a little more....

    if you really want to totally get off real cigs.. or in other words become dependant on e cigs.. do not under any circumstances expect to do it with one starter kit on its own..

    this dosnt matter who you buy from or where you buy from.. if you only have just the one starter kit it will let you down.. allow for this and buy in some spare parts before it does..

    TW with the their multi packs of cheaper parts are trying to be as honest as any seller can be.. the bottom line is e cigs do and will work but the initial start up cost is more than just one starter kit..

    know the truth learn to cope with the truth.. dont expect more from an e cig than it can deliver.. and dont expect more from a seller than they can deliver..

    none of them are perfect and nether is the product they sell..

    This is really easy to say with hindsight, however even when someone new spends a lot of time researching before they buy there is so much to take in it's not surprising people miss this.

    Even those who understand it may think 2 battries and 2 attomisers and a weeks worth if carts are enough, especially when you don't want to spend a fortune on something you have never even seen someone doing, let alone knowing if you are going to like it.

    Continually stating that people starting out should know this isn't helpful, because we are all trying to start out to the best of our means, and to be honnest there is so much to take in that thers is no single clear point of information on how to start vaping.

    It's a bit of a hobson's choice really....until you know vaping 'works' and can get you off of tobacco you don't want to spend very much money on it.

    when they first came out they all cost around 200 dollars.. people have it easy now with cheap starter kits..

    but there is too much information available to people.. and sadly most it is totally misleading.. e cigs will work for most folks who want to quit the tobbaco habit.. but the limitations of the things do need to be taken into account..

    ruyan designed them for occasional use.. to be used where real smoking would not be socially aceptable.. in simple terms light occasional use not as full time heavy user tobbaco replacment devices..

    when the facts are known it aint surprizing they wont live up to what some users expect of them..

    I have ordered (8/13) and received (8/17) my first order: pack-of-5 801 attys - taking great advantage of the 20% off sale.

    Had great response from their onsite Ms. Wicked chat regarding high/low bridge.

    And, have just ordered another 2, pack-of-5 801 attys for my 'ban stock'.

    No problems so far - but admittedly low risk orders
