anyone bought from Esmoke! -- rromp.com?

[SeanFromIthaca]

my friend just bought a starter kit from them -- I'm hoping it isn't total garbage

never heard of them -- has anyone else had any experience with them?

 

[SeanFromIthaca]

sorry to bump -- kind of important -- I want to know what to tell this guy who just bought a kit from them whether or not he should just chalk it up to being scammed and go with a 510 or something else

Everyone should strongly consider almost only ordering from suppliers listed on here because their service and supplies are monitored. Let me glance at that site and see what it is as nobody else has responded...

It appears to be an overpriced mini of some undetermined type. Tell him there's better equipment
available, much cheaper. Spend the extra $$ on more flavors of juice!!!!

 

[DocWyatt]

Well, looked at the site for you - they are not doing anyone any favors to be sure. $150 for a kit. I thought it was a 4081 at first, but it isn't. I looked at the batteries and they are male batteries. I am not really sure what they are, perhaps an M401 or something.

Your friend likely should just switch to a 510. Those cost maybe $35. LiteCigUSA sells genuine Joye, for instance.

I agree with DocWyatt. It looks like a big rip-off. You can get a 510 for $35 at Citnot or LiteCigUSA...several places. And a 510 will perform circles around that one.

yeah that's what I thought.. dang...

thanks guys -- I had a feeling when I saw the giant text in the drop-downs and the bright colors and whatnot -- just gave me a vibe that it was all BS...

he got his juices from there too -- I already told him he should order a 510 just in case the cig he got stunk -- but I said maybe the juices would be workable with the 510 even though he got them from that site...

at this point though, I'm not even sure of that

it sucks, I posted a bunch of stuff on my site about my ecig adventures and apparently he never read any of it -- I wish he'd come to me first -- I'm still a n00b to be sure, but you gotta look around and do some research.... I wish he'd asked me -- I could at least have directed him here

Don't feel too bad. We all have to start somewhere. If it works even a little...at least it's an introduction. Maybe he'll see that with the right pv it can work. Many of us made stupid orders before we found ECF. I have a mall kiosk piece of junk in my tackle box.... Anyway, a 510 or even an eGo/Riva will be cheap enough that he can replace it with something better.

I think that's the best way to look at it at this point.

Just order a 510 and hopefully the juice he got from them is halfway decent.

I now know that this is overpriced hardware, but it's what got me off of analogs so, although I don't use it anymore, I'm happy.

We could sink a battleship if we piled it with all the "overpriced hardware" most
of us started with.

"but it's what got me off of analogs " says it all......
