My friend got a free trial and now she can't get them to stop taking money from her card. What a mess.
Your friend should call her credit card company, have them cancel her card and issue a new card.
thanks for the post. I will put that as an annotation on every vaping vid I do from here on out.
This was a really good tip. i just wanted to add that free trials are usuallly a red flag in most industries, not just e-cigarettes. So let the buyer beware. Nothing in life is truly free. You are almsot always agreeing to have your card charged after the trial is over and you may not remember to cancel. And what's more confusing, sometimes that charge could be for a completely different product line . In the fine print , you had agreed to join a program of a "partnering site."
I don't do the free trial thing anymore, has been years!! You always get burned in the end!! Like stated in the prior post nothing in life is truly free!!
Excellent advice, thank you. As a new vaper, I found the beginners guide here on ECF to be a great resource, and went right to an ego-t system. After a brief bit of confusion about type A and B carts I was off and running, and I'm glad I didn't start out with something I'd end up not using for the long term.
The way I looked at it was, I spend $8+ a pack for smokes, that's > $240/month! spending <$100 for a good, reliable, satisfying replacement is a no brainer. Plus, reducing (eliminating?) the risk for cancer is priceless. I haven't had a cigarette since I got my ego-t, 23 days ago. I wasn't ready to quit, but it turns out I didn't need to be!
If you get some cheapo e-cig from one of these fly-by-night operations you might get a bad first impression of the devices. With the cheap and semi-disposables you are stuck with their idea of a good flavor. With a more sophisticated device you have a countless number of flavor/nicotine level choices. It's infinite if you get into blending your own e-liquid.
Start right! And thanks for this post.

Hi, I'm new (one day new into the e-cig world). I goofed! what an idot, I am for taking on the 'free trial'. I received my 'free' trial kit yesterday, NO GOOD all carts were empty.
Going to have to jump on things right quickly now, eh? Geessshhhhhhh, and they even called me two days ago pushing like crazy to take more free offers for x amt. of $ more.

I agree, nothing is free. Someone is making money somewhere
Agreed, GF almost fell for this. Thank god she asked me to read the fine print
I was interested in those, I'm an eLiquid collector lol I wanna try every one on the market , after hearing so much about it, I finally ordered RY4 , let's hope it stands up to the test
Yes in the beginning many of us got had by the "man" but thanks to this forum and a good mod all is well again
I may be one of the few people out there who hadn't even heard of the free trials- until yesterday.
My neighbor asked me why she hasn't seen me outside smoking on my front porch these last few days, and I told her about my e-cigs. She was interested, and said she has been thinking about trying them herself. Then she asked me what I paid to get started. I told her, and she exclaimed, "Well, that was stupid! Why didn't you do one of those free trials?!!! You could have saved yourself a bunch of money"!
To tell you the truth, I was wondering the same thing after we said goodbye. I'm glad now, after reading these posts, that I hadn't heard about the free trials, as I wouldn't have known not to try them!
