just ((((Hugs)))) to those who were screwed- I thought I got it bad- I only spent 40.00 on a crappy one- I would be disputing it with my credit card comp. Please dont give up- I know thats alot of money to loose- but you can do this, and enjoy it- I am 
If they have any kind of return policy, then SEND IT BACK!!! That's a 700% markup on the price of a standard 510 kit, and the 510 kit prolly works better. Yikes. Sooooo sorry that these guys are ripping people off like that.
My wife and I also got "ripped off" on our first e-cig. As many have posted before, these unscrupulous vendors are really turning people off to a potentially life saving product. There are a good deal of reputable vendors who sell GOOD ecigs at fair prices. Please don't give up. I have personally used the Joye 510, Kr808d and the Joye eGo. Those are all good kits that work! I have found the people at cignot.com to be more than helpful. They sell the 510's and eGo's. I have enjoyed e-liquid from Tastyvapor.us and halocigs.com. They are not the cheapest but the prices are reasonable for the great products they sell. There are many more great vendors out there.....these are just the ones I personally have experience with. Look around the forums and you will find many vendors and products, complete with reviews and personal experiences. Good luck and don't give up!
A great post, dormouse. It doesn't wallow in the negetives and provides a positive solution. 'Two thumbs up!'
I help support -
*Vapors, Etc.
*One Stop DIY Shop
*MadVapes
*XtremeVaping
That's too bad, it really is. This forum is worth it's weight in gold IMO.
I wonder how many that tried the ripoffs just gave up and didn't end up on ecf.

Yeah while we're at it I fully endorse:
MadVapes
CloudsOfVapor
ValueVapor.com
LiteCigUSA.net
IkenVape.com (attys&Cartos)
GourmetVapor
Blu (even though they're a little overpriced, they have gotten a lot of people to convert)
Volcano
And soon I will probably be endorsing:
FreedomSmokeUSA
TastyVapor
Great Lakes Vapor
and TheEcig.com
There are a lot of reliable, fantastic Vendors out there. People like this white cloud vapor make the whole industry look bad, and they got a very polite passive-aggressive email from me a half hour ago.

I would add to the list of trusted vendors:
Gotvapes
Nhaler
LIberty Flights (20% off coupon at top left)
I agree with this post. These rip off companies need to be taught a lesson.
Sux to get fleeced, but at the end of the day it merely lengthens the time until you break even on analog/e-cig costs, unless you get hooked on testing juice flavors and glittery new hardware! -~...just focus on how much better you'll feel once you make the switch, and what fun it will be to go bouncing through life with a clean set of lungs!

I think we've all been burned at least once before doing the proper research. I myself enjoy a lot of vapor and the njoy then the 808 just werenr enough for me I spent so mich on the crap njoys before discoverin this forum. Now I'm goin to he ego t tank woohoo! Ill let u guys know how it is after I get it
I can only add my voice to those of us who have been ripped of, especially by the INTERNET hype. We read "best electronic cigarette" as reviewed by "unbiased" or official sounding name such as e cig reviews, and are convinced by what we read.
It's all smoke and mirrors. Some clever INTERNET marketing guy pays google to get their name up in an e cig search. I did say pay, or do you think that google got that big by wishful thinking?
So they buy the cheapest stuff from China through AliBaba or something similar, mark it up 1000% or more, and get away with it for a long time. Even negative reviews on honest forums get buried on page 50 of your search because the minute they spot something negative, they flood the net with something new.
Sometimes, the same person or group of persons will run multiple brands of the same product but reviewed in the same article. If one brand gets a bad rap someplace, they will post something new on another brand-say a new color or package or whatever, but the whole thing gets bumped up to the top of the search.
In the end, it becomes a tangled and complicated web of lies and misdirection. Unless you stumble onto one of the honest and open forums, it becomes easy to get tricked.
I did and got suckered in. A lot of us did. It was not until I stumbled onto e cig forum that I was able to find real information.
Do a google search of "best e cig reviews" and see what you come up with: mostly overpriced junk.
Don't give up though! I will have my one year anniversary on April 20 after 40 years of 1.5 packs/day. Even though I overpayed a lot with a really under performing e cig, it was worth it to get started!

I'm hoping to soon add GotVapes to my suppliers list. I understand the Vortex Cartomizer may soon be available.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. I too, didn't get a great start as I ended up paying 100ish dollars for a ....ty mall kit in my earlier days at PV using. Keep at it, it gets easier. Promise!
myvaporstore.com is decent on kits, but i think madvapes is still a bit cheaper
