Does not look to be. Smart Smoke appears to be out of Washington and TKO is Arizona. Smart domain info can be found pretty quickly but the TKO guys seem to be better at covering their tracks. Info on Smart is below:

Smart-Smoke.co - Smart Smoke

They say they are in Dallas TX

I guess they are as unsure of their location as they are of what things sell for...

An easy way to find duplicate 'front' companies is to search their legal disclaimer- they usually aren't form documents. Theirs is one and the same as myclearsmoke

Terms & Conditions - My Clear Smoke

They also have the same fax number.

And there it says this:
"Replacement of items purchased through any of Clear Smoke resellers or affiliates will incur a $12.95 processing fee. (Shipping and handling charges may apply.)"

So Clear Smoke have a lifetime warranty - but if you need a replacement you pay $12.95 plus shipping - which is basically more than the ego ecig cost them wholesale.
For instance, their over-priced $99 kit with one ego battery:
E-Store - My Clear Smoke

Just as an example, a kit with two ego batteries can be bought for half that price from a different vendor with a good reputation:
Build Your Own eGo Kit

This is the same and I'm mean the exact same company that runs a kiosk in the mall where I live. I passed by him yesterday with my mech with a modded AGA T on top he saw me blowing vape out and tried to sell me one of his. Stating "it's just as good as Whig your using but smaller". What a load it was father's day and I was with my baby girl otherwise I would have went into an hour rant.

I thought this was either a joke or someone using a currency converter that didn't properly calculate (notice they offer Euros and Pounds as well). Come to find out, they are located in Dallas (or so they say). The owner/company (Lucky Day, Inc.) is registered to reside in Wichita Falls, TX. The truth is that no vapers will buy from them (only the newly hatched ones) and it won't take long before they have no customers at all. Who knows, maybe it's a front for something else and we just don't know the 'code' for what they're really selling (kinda like those $6000 video cassettes on ebay). :laugh:

That is beyond "ripoff" , that is disgusting. Just a con artist and swindler. The sad part is that there are innocent people desperate to quit smoking that have no idea where to start and unfortunately wont find ECF until the damage has been done. I remember how I felt "taken" after I bought my first kit at a corner store for $75 and kept having to go back for my cartridges that were huge money , then I found ECF and I couldnt believe what was out there for so much less but what this jerk off is doing is in a different category. Everyone should blow up his email and let him know what the real vaping community thinks of him and his morals!
