Heads up out there:
I recently purchased a trial e-cig (Prada) from smokefreely.com or something rather......needless to say, it arrived fairly quickly, and it was so bad, it literally tasted like a cross between mold and a rotten cigar. I mean it absolutely made me cough and cough and cough.
If that wasnt enough, I was suddenly billed $663 through my debit card 2 weeks AFTER I cancelled and returned everything. In fact, i had only ever received the trial pack, and nothing else. Obviously, I almost flipped out. When I called I kept being told that "you agreed to this", etc...to which I repeatedly replied, "I want to speak to your supervisor". Each and every time I said this, I was put on hold for about 30 seconds and when the rep returned she would say the exact same thing, "my manager is busy right now, can you call back". I simply said, "look, my husband is an attorney, I am absolutely NOT letting this go, I have all day, and I will hold until he** freezes over if I have to". Lol. I'm glad I did this, as each time the rep returned from putting me on hold, I would get refunded about $45. After about the 18th time I was told that the "manager was busy and to please call back," I finally threatened legal action.......this was when I finally got ALL of my money refunded. I was truly shocked at what had occurred, and in rereading the fine print discovered that this was NOT even close to the billing agreement.
Then, about 3 weeks later, wa la, there is was again, $663 charge. This time i threatened legal action immediately after I reached a live person, and was quickly refunded every penny. I also cancelled my debit card.
Now, i am not saying this is a scam or an intentional "plan" on their part, i am simply providing a review of what happened to me when I ordered one of their products.
Anyway, my point.......BEWARE.
My question, however, and the 2nd reason I am here, is this......is there ANY ecig out there that even closely resembles the taste of a real cigarette. I mean, come on, we can put a man on the moon, but we can get the taste of a cigarette in a vapor? Lol.
Seriously, though. I smoke Monarch Light 100's and on occasion L & M red box, full flavor 100's. I have got to find something soon........I've been smoking for 25 years and Im pushing the point of no return as far as irreversible lund damage is concerned.
Can anyone recommend something that tastes as close to a real cigarette as possible? And, a rhetorical question..........most people on the ecig are trying to quit the real cigs, one would think that taste resembling a real cigarette would take priority over fruit flavors, lol.
But again, ANY recommendations are truly appreciated at this point.
Thanks!

We do however have some suppliers that make really good non burning tobacco flavors using tobacco absolute. I know a lot of others will probably chime in here with suggestions, but the first place that springs to mind is
