Hmmm, nice to know if I'm stuck in a tight spot, I can go to 7-11 and get an e-cig and not analogs.

That may be technically true. But with 7-11 you can just walk in the store and be vaping within 5 minutes. You just can to that with mail order.
Okay, I just purchased one yesterday and had all night to play around with it. My initial thoughts; I would have to say I am impressed. For an over the counter starter kit, they offer 3 different flavors at a price of $19.99. The three flavors are Regular, Menthol, and Vanilla. The regular and menthol versions are at 16mg of nicotine while the vanilla flavored version is under their no-nic brand as E-Hookah. The version I got was regular. The box it came in acts as it's own carrying case. It's made of plastic and holds one full PV, 4 carts, usb charger, and a simple instruction booklet.
The build quality is actually nice. It doesn't feel cheep while its design fits more along the lines of blending in with analogs. The atty has a Xhale O2 brand stamped to it in gold which matches the gold threading band. It lights up a soft orange glow while in use. Although the instruction booklet states it is not fully charged out of the box, they do mention that you can use it right after purchase and to charge it once the batt dies out.
Carts/Flavor: The carts are colored to appear as an analog filter. The filler itself is protected by sealed foil to prevent it from drying out. The atty itself punctures this piece of foil when it's time to use the cart. Tastes like an analog. If I ever have a need to taste a real analog, I now have a nice and easy alternative. - 7/10
Vapor Production: I was shocked by how much vapor this thing produced. I was originally expecting a small amount of vapor but I was wrong. This thing puts out as much vapor as a real analog if not more so. - 8/10
Throat Hit: Good throat hit. It's definitely there. - 8/10
Batt Life: I haven't had the chance to test how long the batt lasts, will update as I continue to use it today after a full charge. - N/A
All in all, I would recommend this product. Its a good start for beginners and the people who are new to the world of vaping. Granted it is not the best product out there, but it is easy to get and it's cheap. A new user can just go to their local 7-11 and purchase the starter kit and try it out without having to deal with buying it online. Remember, most of the public out there rarely, if at all, buys products online. While the people who do, the majority of them only purchase from sites that are well known, i.g. Amazon
If your not new to the world of vaping on the other hand, this product is a good alternative while waiting on new supplies if you ever run out. Another great thing that occurred to me is that if you are ever away from your home, either your out for a day or traveling and you happen to loose your PV, you can buy one of these starter kits which will last you until you can get your replacement in the mail.
Xhale O2 also covers a full year warranty on their atty and batt with a kept receipt which is an added bonus. They state that if your atty or batt ever dies out from manufacturer defects, you can return them to the place of purchase and they should be able to replace it for you.
Also on a side note, 7-11 also sells a pack of 10 carts for $14.99. I do not recommend those carts as it is easy enough to refill the carts your self. I believe that's how the company makes their money back. Sell the starter kits at a low price point and make the money back by marking up the carts.

standard tea bags work well in the carts, but be sure and remove all the excess foil and plastic from the top of the inner cart first.
I picked up the xhaleo2 and find it to be quite nice. Some advantages over the SE, especially the price. I do like the usb charger, but find it somewhat limiting, but heck even my phone requires usb.
I like the atty a lot, seems to run a little warmer than the rn-4081. I get a nic rush real fast. The carts are just as small and don't last very long. They are easily refilled, the videos I've seen were helpful if not a little over-kill. We'll see how long it lasts. 1 year warranty in store, full kit exchange with original receipt.
I am having my family buy one as an inexpensive starter.
Just my input on something new to Colorado.

The guarantee interests me! I would have saved alot of money if I would have started with these. All my others have guarantees but you have to package them and pay for shipping. I find that to be to much hassle and just buy a new one. These on the other hand you just take them back and get a new one. Sounds almost to good to be true. I'm definately going to check 7-11 and see if they have them in Wa.
I have heard contradicting reports of 7-11 not honoring the waranty, but I could be wrong.
They are coming to Nevada 7-11's in September. I manage a 7-11 in Las Vegas and we put our order in last week. We should see them in stores by mid-September. They will be selling for less here than in California.

Cool beans. Any way you can convince your branch manager to allow you to sell "real" e-cigs as well?(510, eGo, 901, 808 etc) Maybe just a couple of the other kits at first, give customers a choice.
my sister was given one of these, before we loaned her a 510. worked good for her for a few days, then almost caught on fire! the atomizer was starting to flare up! she is going to stick the 510
If these catch on I am certain other brands will follow. Right now the reason we can offer a great price is because of the mass of stores and prospective volume of sales. The owner of my store had to sign a form and buy in for a certain amount of product and refills. I am certain 7-11 made a great deal with the company. Until more of those big deals are made with corporate I wouldn't be able to get them into my own store at any reasonable price or gross profit. It helps to have a big corporation behind you. All I can do is educate customers about a product I am excited about. That is a big reason my boss went along with it. He saw my enthusiasm.
Wow. I was just getting gas this afternoon, station name I can't remember right now, something like Sunco. Any hoo I had my contacts in and no readers on at the time lol but I could have sworn I saw some packages at the register that said electric something. Checked out the XHALE website and bingo there they are.
Has anybody figured out exactly what kind of model of an e-cigarette the X-Hale 02 is?
The best guess so far seems to be that it is some kind of a 401, 402, or 403.

Acording to this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/113049-xhaleo2-7-11-returns.html. It is a 401(what it looks like), but I don't know of anyone who has tried it yet. 401 carts are cheap enough, but I don't have my xhaleo2 anymore, so I can't confirm it.
I can confirm the M401.
I can also confirm that local 7-11's have exchanged 3 of these without question for me in Colorado. Rumor has it that this test run is over, the manager at the local 7-11 tells me he cannot order them anymore.
Another store in town is selling a disposable 510 for $20.00 no refills, no charger.... no point. I think this will work against my campaign here. Sad really the Xhaleo2 is a decent mini, puts out a thicker vape than my Riva with a 510 No fooling. Good flavor too. Just small batts = short batt life = more charging = shorter life span. Tiny carts = 20 puffs for me or .5 - 1 day for the rest of my vaping family.
I like my Riva and enjoy the 510 atty but might be getting the adapter to make this think use my 401's and you know see what happens.
I can upload pics if anyone is interested. Oddly the carts hole 4-6 drops, almost the same as my 4081 but produces more vapor for longer periods.

My xhaleo2 didn't put anywhere near the vapor that my 510 or my eGo do. But that being said, if you want a TON of vapor from your riva, look into the eGo mega attys/carts. They are truely awesome.
Thanks for the replies!
Yeah, it looks like this product is on the verge of being orphaned. The local 7-11 isn't getting any new ones in and the cartridges for these things have a bizarrely short shelf life, or they had serious quality control issues with the cartridges.
Does anyone make a 401 cartomizer?

I didn't say more vapor I said thicker. No matter the pg/vg balance I got a thicker vapor from the 401 than my 510, I've tried several things. I'm not unhappy with the 510 I like many things about it. I see a value in a well broken in 401... mind you they take a while, some of them have extra glue etc.
