The 7-11's here in NY don't sell the xhale anymore(atleast in this area) they all seem to be selling the nJoy starter kits now. They come with 1 battery, 2 cartomizers, and a charger for $19.99. Ok deal I suppose they must make their profits from the refills $20 for 5 carto's. Not a bad intro to it I guess but the njoy flavors dont taste to good.

Where have you seen 7-11s selling stuff? Just the island? I'm upstate (Hudson Valley) and haven't seen any around here yet.

I believe you have to ask for them. I've heard they are stocking the Npros behind the counter w/ the cigs. Here in LA they have the xhaleo2s on the front counter in a display case.

Not sure if its just down here, been up your way a couple times in the last month but I goto Stewarts when I'm up there. Been told they have them in Queens to. Not every 7-11 here is carrying them though.

Yeah they usually keep them in the cigar area behind the counter, no display cases on the counter, some do have pretty big signs in the window advertising them though.

I originally got two starter kits and a box of carts, as I said the vape was okay at best with the stock carts. I got some juice from a place called "Sin City Vapor" in one of the indoor swap meets. Once I went through the chaos of taking the foil off a few carts and cleaning then refilling with a few drops of juice the vape was great. They may be just a health crap spin off, but it's mainstream and made me want to get a better ecig. Now I'm still waiting for my 510's to get here, but I'm grateful for the Xhale O2 and 7-11. I won't buy another, but it got me going in the right direction. I just got through cleaning the attys and going to start on the carts to prep them for the wife to kick her "Black and Mild" habit...

Yup, they work and that's about it. BTW, you know you can dip the bridge in juice and use an empty cart for a mouthpiece right? :thumb: The exposed bridge version of dripping. Works better than the carts AFAIK.

Just found this thread, realize it's kind of old but here's my 2 cents =) Bought an xhaleo2 from a 7-11 (in CO) to try out vaping. I just ordered a 902 (manual 808) from cigeasy and am waiting for it to arrive, so I have nothing to compare the xhale to yet. Overall though, it seems to produce a decent amount of fairly thick vapor. The battery lasts about a day (when I'm working I only get one smoke break, so there isn't much vaping for that period of time). I'll probably hang on to it, even after I get the 902. Maybe I'll post a comparison after a little while with the 902.

E cigs are catching on at 7-11 stores. The 7-11 down the road now sells 2 brands, the Njoy (4081) that I started out with and the Premium E cig. I have no clue what the Premium E cig model is and haven't checked the price for the kit, but it's nice to see more brands becoming available. I'm still hoping for juice to be sold in stores... even though it may end up overpriced, it would be a nice back up option.

I use the Xhale O2 and, while it's helpful in staying off analogs, I am hoping to upgrade soon. You don't get nearly as much out of each cart, as they say you will, and it gets harder to get any flavor/vapor out of it, if you puff on it more than once at a time. It was a decent purchase to help me walk away from analogs, and stay away from them, but it will definitely not be my final choice in e-cig. I most definitely don't wanna go back to analogs, though!

Xhales are a great way to see if the ecig experience is for you. I started on the Xhale, then gave up the carts and started dripping on that unit. After four months I moved up to a Riva 510 and have been happy ever since. I definitely recommend dripping on the Xhale if you can't move up right now. It is a lot less expensive than the carts and there are a lot of flavors out there. Good luck.

wait a minute !!!!..do i see a madvapes flashlight hooked to an atty and cart!!! how'd u do that???

If this was meant for me then this is how: I simply remove the plastic juice container from the Xhale cart and use the 'empty' cart to inhale the drip from the atty. OR you can remove, clean and dry the used filler, replace, and then load it with juice, but I like dripping better.

found a different brand at 7-11 in kalamazoo. they are advertising cigaletric brand (not Xhales) but didnt have them on the counter. instead, they had a little pamphlet... which i grabbed. Ironically someone was leaving the store in mid conversation about e-cigs and I happen to have my new 808 on me. A little demo (with a near dead battery) and I started asking questions to the clerk. They don't have any knowledge about them so I decided to visit the website on the pamphlet.

My what a laugh I got. Did you know that "other brands" are inferior because of the lack luster LED light, that they dont resemble cigs, and "The vapor created is weak and is hardly noticeable, especially after exhaling." (quoted from the website: Compare : Cigalectric)

Due to the fact that they were behind the counter (tossed, rather, as if the store people didn't care) I didn't get a good look but they do look a little hokey. I'm new to this stuff, so couldn't say what it is or about what I think it might be but it's thicker then my 808
