I heard a lot of talk on here regarding the cost of e-smoking.... and comparing the price of it to real smoking... REAL SMOKING iS ALL TAX! E-smoking is not heavley taxed, if it was taxed at the prices people are selling products then it would be insanley expensive...

Im of the general opinion that people pay to much for their products, that the more expensive brands are not substantially different to the cheaper generic items.. that people are simply paying for an invisble factor.... I dont think the atomiser technology or battery technology is different in more expensive models... Some "branded" sellers are literally cashing in big time on these new devices... BUT you heard all this before havnt YOU!

BUT!!! I also think many generic sellers are making a lot of cash as well, I dont think anyone is being nice and friendly and helping people to stop smoking...... To me everyone is cashing in, whenever and however they can!

I expect throw away e-cigarettes to be more a throw away cost and expensive e-cigarettes to actually contain technology that makes superior to cheaper generic items and I dont mean a titanium look colour or a nice box and a name tag... And as for a 5 year guarntee, what good are they when the products are banned... and any their is a psychology of guarntess I wont go into..

Anyway, I feeling the benefits of these products, I havnt smoked a real cigarette in days and its been easy, but I want to recommed it to my friends and help them get of smoking... but not all of them are flush with cash, I hope in future someone drives down the prices of these products or drives the technology behind them...


Im not saying these things to create the argument "BRANDED" Vs "GENERIC".... Im saying these things to let YOU KNOW, That neither are "BARGAINS" no ones doing you a "GOOD" turn, there cashing in on the fact your "ADDICTED" to "NICOTINE" and want to "STOP"

Take care peoples.. who can we make things "BETTER" consumers we are and its allways a buyers market!

;) even I used for only 4 days I still smoke some real cigarettes

my first intention is buy one to test how it feel ...

who know I order two set of penstyle + 2 extra atomiser just feel scare the atomiser burn up and fedup have to wait for shippment

till now I do cut down on real cigarettes intake ,

I know why BECOS WHOLE DAY I KEEP using this pacifer ..e smoke whenever I like it ...

thus I don;t smoke much on real stuffs but I am less with tar and monoxide intake.


now my qs is actually this stuffs got mix reaction , now I know why my country ban the sales of this when someone plan to bring in to sell.
because is like a toy..electronic toy ..but danger is ..it got nicotine ..

and yup nicotine is the stuffs we addicted to...for smokers.

Not quite, that to me turned into a tit for tat pissing contest.. Im trying to establish.. that we are all getting exploited, all getting a bit of shafting cause we are addicted to nicotine.. Im not interested in discussing brands or sellers, Im just interested in the TRUTH of the matter...

Im also thought it may help discussion evolve if there was some unison...

the price is okay now if the right product is purchased for the right place and from the right place..

i was a half ounce per day UK roll-up smoker.. i smoked around 50 prison style fags per day at a weekly cost of £20.. my belgium runner got hit on her last trip.. it used to cost me £10 per week to feed my habit..

long term i can replace my habit with e-cigs for around £12.50 per week or a little more all in.. this is how things are now.. but these are my figures..

it does not have to be expensive.. it can be done on the cheap.. china does play a big part in my calculations thow.. he he

the cost i mentioned are based on an e pipe atomizer lasting two weeks.. and fify ruyan cigar carts per months.. this is not the cheapest option.. i could save a little when bottled liquid comes back.. and by not choosing to smoke pipes..

if anybody can beat this (and remain a simple user) please tell me how..

no offence 20,but have you read all of that thread,or just skimmed through it,or just focused on the argument parts?

ive already said all this,and invited debate on it,and i dont see the point of starting another thread on the same subject,which will also disappear in a day or two...so why not add your thoughts to an existing thread on the subject?

isnt it better to keep one subject together and bumped for maximum impact?
the trouble with this forum lately,is that threads saying the same thing on the same subject are being started willy nilly-theres no point to it,it weakens the subject matter each time,and the strength of any impact it might make to anyone with any influence...we need some unity if we are to have any show of force.
