Yea, thanks. most of them will charge your credit cart over $100.00, then like $29.95 a month. I filled out personal info and got to credit card secttion, deleted it, and they blew up me phone for 3 days. Be careful..
Do Not Order "Free Trials"!!!

I advise to check if you have to pay the shipping and handling fee. Usually that is where they scam you. If it is totally free, then you can go for it. But do not give out your cc details.
One of the "free trial" offers on the radio was my first exposure to e-cigs. Fortunately, the radio ad gave out the company's web site. I went there and was able to read the 'fine print' before ordering. And I'm glad I did! The ongoing monthly cost they were hitting people for was absolutely ridiculous! Just as you said, they were going to send you a certain number of new carts every month and automatically bill your credit card. And the amount they were going to charge you was more than I was paying every month for analogs at the time!
Excellent post. Great information. Thanks. Actually, I was thinking about getting a free trial but I'm glad I came across this thread. You probably have saved me some money and trouble. Thanks 
Seems like it's hard to separate the legitimate companies from the scammers.
I orderedone of these free trials and then read the fine print. Yes, stupid me. I tried to cancel it the next day but was informed that it had already shipped. I then asked for an R/A number so I could send it back. They fought me vigorously but finally gave me the number. I got the unit yesterday and tried it out. All I can say is I got a really cheap ecig with horrible tasting juice. I received it yesterday and will send it back tomorrow. Do not take advantage of any free offers. Remember, nothing is free.
If they say a cartridge is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes, you want to do business elsewhere.
You can spot them a mile away. "Free Trial" is the first sign.
"One cartridge equals a pack of cigs" is another.
"$125.00" for a starter kit is another.
The ones in the malls are a waste too- they tried to sell me a 30ml bottle for $100 saying it would last 5 cartons of cigs, plus their starter kit was way overpriced- make sure you do all your research and read reviews of several companies before settling for one.
Hopefully this thread will stop somebody out there from getting pulled into this type of practice.All of those ad's were what prompted me to start searching for an alternative to analogs about 190 days ago.I did get lucky and find some good info on another forum and was able to order a 510 kit for next to nothing and that got me through until I started wanting more from vaping.I have since moved from an E-go passthrough to an e-power(completely happy but still looking) and continuing to delve into the world of vaping.Already been making my own juice so not much left other than making a few "mod's" lol.
Thanks highping for the advice. I've heard this from many people and will stay away. Thank again for letting us newbies know.

thank you for the information, will certainly stay away form these companies.....
Hello,
I know this is a free trial, but I signed up with a special offer code website today. It's quite a well known one, nothing dodgy. Anyway, my boss showed it to me because he knows I have an ecig and he saw this one on there:
Mini Tankomizer electronic cigarette
£18 instead of £45. Is this a good model? I know it's not going to be mega-super-awesome like some of the chrome beasts on this site, but is it worth getting? In case you can't see the link, it's a Halo Midi from The Smokers' Angel: Quality Electronic Cigarettes, with 2 batteries, 11 cartridges and a charger. Now, I was previously thinking of buying one of these Mini Tankomizer electronic cigarette after a recommendation from a member here, how do they compare?
It doesn't say '10 cigarettes worth' or anything like that anywhere. It's not one of the 'free trials' you guys are talking about here so I think it might be ok. What do you think?

Yeah, I almost did not even try ecigs 'cause a friend of mine got the free trial and had only complaints about it and ecigs in general. He went back to analogs and I feel sorry for him now. Now is hard to convince him that the freeby is just a bad way to get an idea about ecigs.
I wonder if some credit card companies know about these scammers, before I began vaping seriously I tried to get the "free offer" and my card was the reason the transaction could not be completed.
I am one of the suckers who fell in to there trap by not paying close attention to what i was getting into.
