Hate to say this happened to me but it did. Its been quite some time ago but the company is still at it. They will offer you an E-Cig for a free trial period by phone or e-mail and request your C.C. for shipping. DUHHHH....But I had bought my first e-cig ever from this company and thought they were reputable and just wanted my business back. I had to get my C.C. company to charge it back to them. When I tried to call the company to complain, no one answered. I was lucky in that I lost no money in the end but it was such a hassle. BEWARE even if you think you know the company. I always thought this kind of thing would not happen to me...LIVE and LEARN...Everyone take care out there...
Thankys VPingMonkey,
This is what I never fail to get confused about.. Anyone who tries to state that something is free when so many on the forum have been through the experience and knows that they are a sham...
It's like over at the posting about the side effects of vaping.. Many don't take under consideration that their symptoms could be from something other than the vaping... Seems like every little problem someone has now, they have to blame on their vaping...

Just out of curiosity, if they are scamming you, couldn't you use one of those visa/mastercard gift cards when you sign up for a free trial? Just put in like $10 to cover shipping and the throw the card out once you receive your order.
You get the free trial kit and they can't charge the card by automatically putting you on their refill list.

I would think you could do that, but some who fell for the trials never think of that.. The main problem is that either they call for the order and are not told everything, or if they order online, or even at a mall kiosk, they don't read the fine print.. Plus the free trial e-ciggies are garbage and after dealing with them, many do not bother to try a decent one and just give up..
Very true. Most customers are unaware of the better brands out there. I don't know, I was thinking of going to Vons/safeway and picking up a gift card just to see if it would work out. Worst case scenario is that they don't accept those types of credit cards. Although I don't think there is a way for them to actually tell the difference. Best case is I get a brand new starter kit for free to keep in my car as a spare if I ever loose my Joye Ego. Then again I don't really need a spare cause I have a load of spare 510 batteries from when I first got into vaping a year ago. Working on building my Ego collection of batteries as well.
Come to think of it, I might give it a go tomorrow. We'll see if I remember. Haha

Hahaha... Well I could give you the proverbial "Do what you think is right" ;-)
I started with a 510, a month later bought a Janty Stick, and then I got as a gift a 401 for buying a large order of juice during Christmas time.. Now I'm obsessed with my 401, especially with the "smart" pcc...
Still use my Stick through the day (on and off), but the auto is wonderful.. I have to test my blood sugars all the time along with being online with the typing, my fingers get sore, so the auto is ideal.. Plus the 401 battery lasts hour upon hour, and I'm a constant vapor-er... Oh!! And dig this, I am on the first atty... We're talking I got this kit in January and still on the same one.. Amazing...
With the taste and the hassle of the atty, I doubt I'll ever go back to a 510..

I couldn't agree more with the hassle of cleaning and maintaining attys. That's actually the reason why I switched over to cartos. Made vaping so much for the better. Yeah, I remember when I first thought about quitting smoking. I used the gum at first and it did work until I got admitted to the hospital after a car accident. Right when I got released, unfortunately I picked up the habit right back up.
Six months down the road I wanted to break the habit and finally looked into vaping. I did my research for about a good month before making my first purchase. I decided to get a 510 from a local guy through craigslist. At that time, most the the online sites looked shady to me and the Blue Foam mod and PTB mod just got invented. No cartos yet if you remember. Anyways, I liked my 510 but the short battery was really killing it for me, even with a PPC. Fast forward a few months down the road when Joye released the Ego I jumped all over it and never looked back. I know there were other mods and models which extended the battery life but I wasn't interested in them as the 510 was doing just fine minus the battery issues.
I actually just ordered my first batch of C-E2s and more cartomizers. I think I may have enough cartos to last me well into next year, enough eLiquid to last me a couple months, and enough spare parts and mods to last me well into the next lifetime and it only gets bigger and better as every day goes by! The hardest part with vaping in my opinion, and many can agree, is to find that middle ground. Having enough stock to last you without having a shortage of accessories.

Exactly, how much of a supply is enough if the FDA and the states want to ban this??
I don't get it, if you really like your EGO, why don't you just use a regular 510 as a spare?? You must have plenty of batteries from before you switched over... Been looking at Litecig's "X-Power" which is essentially an EGO but only $59.95 (900c) or $44.95 (650c), and free shipping...
I don't get the idea of carts either.. How do you drip the atty to keep it moist?? Do you need to walk around with a syringe all the time??
Hopefully it never comes to the point were the FDA decides to BAN PVs. Thankfully the Governator vetoed a bill, at least here in California, that if passed, would have made PVs illegal. So as a community dodged a huge bullet there. This occurred end of last year I think?
I technically could use my 510 as a spares but I just got into the habit of buying more of different kinds of PVs that now it's more of a hobby. I know I probably wouldn't use my whole collection but I like the ideas of different vendors and I ike to try them out. I know I speak a lot about the 510 and Egos but those aren't the only sets that I use. Actually, I kind of want to get the Tek Mod from COV. The idea of vaping while charging my phone at the same time on the go interests me.
A carto is essentially an atty and cart in a single unit. With cartos, the syringe is only needed with Joye Branded and C-E2 cartos. Some people claim that you can fill them using the condom method by filling the rubber cap with juice and pushing it through either the mouth piece or the battery connector end.
Other brands like SLB and Boge do not require a syringe. You just pop the top rubber cap off and drip down to the side onto the filler and vape as normal.
In that drop down image, you just fill the carto on the filler material and vape away.

Thank for the info....I did order one, luckily I found this forum before it was delivered and was able to cancel before they charged my account. I was really worried for a few days there. Anyway THANK YOU for your post, it's helped at least one guy.
I put a big WATCH OUT on my blog regarding a free trial offer. I was sick of being inundated by comments from ripped off parties.
Thank you! I haven't seen many "free" trials advertised, but it's nice to know what to watch out for.
Thanks for the info. I was looking at the "free trials" when I found this site. I did notice that on one site it had some rather "invisible" writing at the bottom, when I highlighted it it was like a magic marker bringing into light this section about after 14 days you CC would be charged like 100.00 and then X amount every month thereafter. Not what I wanted to do. So big thanks to ya'll for posting all the info.
My first kit was blu cigs.. It was not worth it.. I got my refund and now Have the Prodigy v3.1 6 volts!! Amazing!

Hi Dj,
You didn't have to go through all that trouble with the pic and all, but Thank you for doing that
I didn't know that the cartos had caps on them and wondered about all of that, especially since the complaint of 2 piece e-ciggies are so complained about, and then a year later everyone is dying over cartos.. Didn't make any sense to me.. So technically you could take the filler out of it and you've got an atty??
At this point, I'm not going to get into cartos.. I like the idea of being able to clean and soak my attys to keep them going.. I had gotten a Vivo 401 as a gift when I bought a large supply of juice from a company last winter (being that I ordered near Christmas).. Believe it or not, but I am still using the same atty on it...
If the FDA bans e-ciggies we are screwed.. I'll go back to smoking and I know it.. We know the FDA is in cahoots with the pharmaceudical
and tobacco lobbysts and it is a crime.. Plus all you have to do is watch tv and see all the lawyer commercials about how this or that has caused someone to become ill or die because of products the FDA has approved.. Just makes me sick...
I know what you mean about wanting to try many e-ciggie companies and products.. Through the day, you can switch from one type of e-ciggie to another, which is great, and trying out the assorted companies is a blast.. I have many favorites and use them all depending upon what I want to buy.. There are so many mods and regular types of e-ciggies that I'm not sure if it is a hobby collecting them or if it's an obsession *LOL*.. You see or hear of one that you hadn't before, and you want it.. Figure that with the money you save not buying ciggies, you are still ahead of the game ;-)
