The only reason they work is because of the "opt-out", credit card ripoff scheme they use. Radio is full of them too and the time is expensive. If informercials couldn't rip people off they would, without exception, lose money.
Luckily for me, my first e-cig was from cignot. I guess I have to thank the health nazis for pushing me from packaged analogs to stuff-your-own. Then when taxes sent a pound of tobacco from $14 to $49, I visited a website that actually sold coffee (superbeans.com). The guy who ran the superbeans site had recently become an evangelist for e-cigs and had a separate blog about them. The radio guy mentioned that fact during his normal commercial for the coffee. Kind of a strange way to do it, but I ended up researching from there and ended up here.
I guess I really owe my conversion to the insane tax increases imposed on bulk tobacco at the behest of BT.
So, thanks, RJR. (and Bob Alexander at superbeans) Never did buy any of his coffee though. Too expensive and I roast my own now.
