Do Not Order "Free Trials"!!!

[Lynn K]

Thanks for all the info, I thought about trying some of those "FREE" offers but didn't thanks to this info. My mother bought my first e-cig at a mall kiosk and I know she paid too much but at least it was a start for me and I wasn't out the money. After much searching on this forum I was able to order extra stuff at a good price and all the info enabled me to get the right e-cigarette for myself. I am now analog free for 2 months and counting

Yea everytime I heard a commercial for 1 of these, I thought it was a joke!

E-cigs sold at a mall kiosk *laughs*. Luckily for me, I've been following this forum for almost 2 years now, otherwise I might have been suckered. The salesman asked if I knew about them and how much I could get a starter kit for. When I told him the price, his pitch was purchasing one online is like buying a kia, while buying his at 4-5x the cost is like buying a mercedes. Thank you everyone for all the helpful info, made my purchasing decision easier, hopefully I can start contributing now.

I own a KIA (Spectra) and like it just fine. I also bought two 901 starter kits and two KR8 batteries online and like them just fine, too.

Hello all, glad to see this forum here. On the way to work this morning my girlfriend ordered me a free trial. When she told me how this free trial worked I was amazed that a free trial cost $60 USD! She is only trying to help. I do realize I can't mention the companies name here and will abide by the rules. Can any person offer me advice? The free trial was ordered today 7/28/2010.

Thanks

Why can't you mention the company's name.. People bring up and complain about companies all the time in here and it's better to be warned anyway

I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH! I was just about to do that very same thing. You've saved us $$ that we can't afford to lose. We really need to quit, having been diagnosed with emphasema a while ago and have tried many things. All of which didn't work. This is our last, desperate stab in the dark. If anyone knows of a way to ease the initial cost, like coupons, or time payments ( my cards are maxed since my partners last knee surgery) I would be ever so greatful. SO....THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK-YOU!!!!

Problem is that depending upon who you listen to here, and also what you like and don't, depends upon the e-ciggie, model, and vendor you really want..

First off... The idea is that you get your bang for your buck so say you want to buy 2 e-ciggies, then go to a vendor that sells a dual kits makes it cheaper in the long run (plus add an extra battery charger).. Then buy extra attys and batterys since you will always need them and the attys just die and you can't guarentee how long they will last, although keeping them in tip-top shape always helps..

Get plenty of juice!!! The flavors are all over the spectrum..

Many of us on here have visited many many vendors sites and the prices can vary, which incudes shipping...

Oh and try to stick with the vendors that are on the list in here.. They are tried and true..

Thing is this... At first you will go on about how careful in maintaining the e-ciggies, but then after a while you slack off.. Then you will start getting ansy and begin buying mods.. I relate it to substituting one addiction for another

Those "free trial" radio ads do seem to be a bit indulgent. If it's too good to be true...it is. Thanks for the suggestions.

Same here, bought all my stuff online and works just fine. The ones they offer look like available models online (except kiosk has company logo on it). I ended up with 10x the items for the same price. Also comparing their product to a mercedes is just bull, they have no data to back up that boast, plus maybe I like kias......

I'm a firm believer in research! When I bought my 510 I knew who I was gonna purchase from before knowing what I was gonna purchase. It always shocks me when people believe that they will get something "good" for nothing.

 

[StevenIW]

Thank you for the information. I was just about to get it

 

[Aquino0120]

I have also come across an article that promotes these trials as being the best e-cigs on the market. We all no that's not true.

 

[adam22686]

my girlfriend was looking at one and thats what initially got me looking into ecigs. Thank god i read everything it looked like a great deal but def wasnt

Ditto here, I spent over a week researching many UK oline e-cig vendors and it's surprising how many amateurish sites are out there vying for your business. I adopted the attitude that if it looks too good to be true, then it usually is!
HOWEVER . . . . I came accross a UK site that had a 50% sale lasting until the end of August, and after calling them (I always like businesses with land line numbers), I was satisfied that they were for real. My order arrived the day after paying and I have just ordered two more full kits at this amazing knock down price. Just as well I love my new found nic experience!

A friend of my who uses V4L tried on of the radio and said it was garbage and all they wanted to do was put her on a monthly plan to re-bill the credit card.

 

[derfla]

Agreed FREE trials are a rip off

 

[scoobydrool]

What do you mean?You don't think $70 a month for 20 pre filled carts is a good deal!lol

 

[Netski]

The "free trial" deal was what first got me into thinking about e-cigs. When I went on the website offering this free trial, I finally got to the "fine print" and stopped right there. And that's why I came here to this forum. Thanks everyone for your honest, intelligent thoughts. I have yet to try this, that's how new I am!

 

[Steelo01210]

I noticed when I do a google search on ecigs a sponsored link shows up at the top. It starts off with something like Ecigs Exposed, don't get scammed, check us out. Anyway, the site "reviews" "trust worthy" places to purchase them from. Tell me why the list is all free trial products, with the products advertising all over the page. Sounds like a totally reputable source lol.....
