Well, that's pretty much what I thought about all my starter kits that cost me around $100. These are coming straight out of China, so no mark up, similar to the cartos and m4x models that get fancy graphics painted on them and LEDs stuck into the PCC then sold off for $100 a pop. Quality and performance is probably worth the money, but I wouldn't bank on it being a go to unit, just a test run. Just trying to help folks get in, who are too leery of dropping 30 to 50 bucks on a 510.

The only downside is there may be customs issues in the US at this point, so don't go trying to start a business with a box of 100, or I bet they hold onto it for you. And, you probably won't get any kind of customer service like you would from a sponsor here. For the cost of a couple packs of smokes, it's worth a shot IMO, wish I'da known about them before I bought my first kits.

It's def an 8041 (4081?) SuperMini- I guess it's not impossible someone could be selling them this cheap as a direct import. My concern would be, primarily, the lack of knowledge of either vendor.
If it's true, it's cheaper than a disposable...maybe not a bad thing to keep handy for emergencies...although I'd refill the carts with a liquid I trust.

Cheapest is not always best. I would strongly discourage and new vapers from purchasing this equipment.

Spending a few dollars more to deal with a reliable vendor in your area is definitely worth it. Sometimes with this technology you will get a bad battery or atomizer right out of the box. Try getting a warranty on the $13 item. And even if there is one, how does the one month turn around time for replace ment strike you?

I agree with the two previous posters, wouldn't recommend anyone start with a Super Mini. someone gave me one for free and it was what brought me here where I learned the joys of a Joye 510. However, I may try one as an emergency back up kit. Not immediately and for nothing but an back-up device.
As a start-up, there are several vendors selling the 510 for 35-40 dollars. Worth the outlay.

I have the deal extreme model above, in the black case. Vaped great for a couple of hours and then gave up. I have two other deal extremes that are still hanging in there. The green e-health one above is an M40x clone, but nowhere near the quality of a real M401. On my model, half the metal mesh on the atty pulled off when I took the first cartridge off. So buyer beware. These are cheap and fun, but one of the 510 disposables might be a better choice.

Danged good points. Also, getting cheap junk could definitely discourage someone new, thinking that is what they can expect from vaping. I highly recommend doing business with someone you can actually call if you have a problem, or even to answer questions.

Seems like these are worse than I thought, then. Figured they'd only be as bad as everything I've read about Blu's etc, some good some bad. I was under the impression that Revolution and a few others were just rebranding these kits, fixing up the PCC and adding extras, and those seem to have a decent rep so far. Well at least this thread can serve to expose a few duds, so I don't feel like I totally wasted ten minutes of my life, heh.
