I have never heard of the brand that you are speaking of, and I hope the poster above was mistaken when he said that you paid $129 for what sounds like two mini batts and some cartos :blink: ... if that is the case my friend then you were severely taken advantage of, which is not your fault.

When and if you are ever ready to try another kit, be sure you check in here first ... This is a community with many varying opinions on PV choices however, I can guarantee you that where ever you are referred to, it will not cost $130 bucks for a starter kit ;-)

That was my first ecig. I didn't pay that much bc I convinced the guy to give me a huge discount, but even with that it was still very overpriced, which I know now.

It does work okay I guess, but it's just way too ridiculously overpriced to make it worth it. I used it for less than a week and bought an Epower kit. While I was ...... off at first that I wasted all that money, I've hands down made that money back by not continuing to buy their expensive Prefilled cartos. Now a battery easily lasts me all day, I use a 3.5ml tank so I don't have to refill all day, and I make my own juice, so I've got an all day maintanace free vape and pay very little for juice.
If I were you I would try to get a refund, but honestly, I dnt think you'll be able to bc they told me no refunds.
If your seriously going to continue vaping I would consider getting a better kit. I know it sucks, but you will save money in the long run.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy a spare battery or an atomizer from SmokeFree. They sell them for $55 each which is absolutely ridiculous. That atty should be 5-6 bucks and the battery should be about 10. Their eliquid is ridiculously priced too.
I never figured it out for sure bc I just bought the Epower, but I think the SmokeFree has RN4081 threading, but I'm not 100% positive. If it does you could buy blank cartos and buy juice and fill your own, instead of buying their expensive Prefilled cartos.

Goodluck

Seems everything on their site is way overpriced.
They charge $35 for a charger that most places sell for $5.
$55 for a 'slim' battery or atty that costs $5-10 bucks elsewhere.:p

Way, way, overpriced!!!!!!!!!!!

For the price of one replacement battery you can get a whole Ego kit with 2 batteries, charger and cartos.

And still have money left over for some juices.

Yeah their stuff is def overpriced, and thats why I recommended to NEVER buy a spare battery or atty from them, or really anything else for that matter.
Their just another overpriced ecig company that goes after the uninformed bc they know thats the only customers that they can sell to.

One thing I thought was hilarious about them is that they sell a 15ml bottle for juice for $30!!!!
I even called them just to see what their reasoning would be that makes paying $30 for only 15ml of juice worth it. The guy kept trying to give reasons why its a good deal and I just kept shooting him down and saying its a total ripoff. All they really do is sleeky describe the product so it seems like its actually a good deal, when really its not at all.

Heres what the description on their website says for the eJuice:

The savings formula when using e-liquid is amazing:
15ml = ~ 300drops
It takes 3-4 drops to refill a cartridge.
You get ~100 refills for only $29.95

So they make it sound like your getting a great deal bc youll get 100 refills from one bottle so thats why its a great deal for only $30, when actually we know that its a total ripoff. But to someone that doesnt know better, this prob does sound like an okay deal. That was one of the things that I asked about when I called them. I said how can you charge $30 for only 15ml of juice, and they said well its 100 refills so its a great deal. They even go as far to say that the little 15ml bottle is a 3-MONTH SUPPLY! I told them thats absolutely ridiculous bc really thats not going to last more than a week.

Thats what I hate about companies like this. They give ecigs a bad name and seriously ripoff the uninformed. While I knew better and didnt get discouraged, and went on to buy an E-Power that has been a great reliable PV for me, I know that some people will prob give up on ecigs all together after getting ripped off like this.

So to the OP, please dont get discouraged from this. I did it as well, but dont give up! Their are a lot better PVs for a LOT cheaper and will give you a great vaping experience. Your best bet is to write this off as a learning experience and consider getting a better PV that will give you what your looking for. I know it sucks that you wasted that money, but I promise youll make that money back in the long run if you purchase a better and cheaper ecig sooner than later.


Goodluck with it!

To the OP.
This has happened to many of us, me included.

If only we had found this site before spending any money we would have saved lots of heartache and hundreds of dollars.

One of the problems is these things are mass marketed on the internet and by goggle. Almost all the reviews by google point to the very expensive analog lookalikes that are selling for far too much. You'd be hard pressed to find what most of us are using by doing a search of google.

Stumbling onto this site could be one of the best things for anyone looking to use an E-cig and getting something that'll work and not cost you a fortune.

Getting a drop or two of liquid on you, or your 3 year old, won't hurt anything, just wash it off. There is some info on here somewhere about the amount of liquid it would take to be toxic, even to a child. It's more than one would think. If you decide to start filling your cartos, keep the liquid where your daughter can't get to it.

$75 still isn't good but far more reasonable. If you find that you like vaping but your kit just isn't quite doing the job let us know. Most of us started the way you did, realized we enjoyed it, and got better starter kits.

Honestly right now money shouldn't be an issue for you. Getting off the nastiest is the most important thing.
