Another review...
Well, my first night out with RE/AL was a huge success. We did some blind testing between other ecigs and the RE/AL. Now I know the difference because I supplied all the testing product but my friends who smoke ecigs and regular cigs did not.
First off ....no one knows about this product aside from all the ranting that I have been doing in the last few weeks...That has to change, somehow the public has to be made aware of this great product that does everything it says....
There were about ten of us from all age ranges 25-70.... I figured the blind test was the way to go because smokers really love to see the vapor/smoke and I thought it would sway opinion.
The RE/AL's soft filter was a big hit. 3 of the participants actually thought I was giving them actual cigarettes when they tried RE/AL blindfolded. They kind of knew right away when they tested the ecigs , one with a mouthpiece, and one with a hard plastic filter. I held the products for them so they were not dissuaded by the feel other than their lips.
The thing that stood out most is that everyone agreed that the best nicotine rush came from the RE/AL which is why I urge non-smokers not to try this product. Those of you who have ever experienced or have seen others literally turn green and vomit from a tobacco product know what I am talking about. It happened to me many moons ago when I tried my first pinch of copenhagen snuff. I was really suprised myself when I observed the same sensation from my private test. That little filter definitely packs a kick. 3 or 4 puffs was enough for us to get the effect and put it down. One of my friends decided he was going to go at the whole filter, after he started sweating and proclaiming how his heart was pounding I had to cut him off LOL.
What everything basically came down to in the end was FLAVOR. The regular and menthol Marlboro's scored the worst!!! Preceded by my three piece ecig that has menthol cartridges.
We likened the RE/AL Virginia blend to a clove (sweet)cigarette which was suprising because the website kind of makes it sound like it is a more traditional tobacco flavor whereas the American blend was thought to be closer to but much tastier than traditional tobacco. Unfortunately the "juice" that I use in my mod tastes a lot like waffles so everyone seemed to enjoy that flavor the most.
The one problem I have with the RE/AL is that I think we either burned out the heating element or completely drained the battery in a few hours time. I'm trying to recharge the battery as I am typing now to see if that was the problem. In all honesty it was being used way more than it would be with one person and normal circumstances but the other two ecigs held up just fine. There is no way to tell what the indicator light means. Sometimes it would blink and other times it would come on for a period of time as a steady glow, and that's when I took it away from them. I think that the manual should have some explanation as to what the different cycles of the light mean because all it mentions is flickering which I never witnessed.
All in all I think that the product delivers exactly what it says it does and if you close your eyes the difference is that the RE/AL in our opinion surpasses the effects of the vapor ecigs which is a good thing. Now I only had three cases of filters and we used up two of them last night so now I have to get back in line and wait for more filters!!! (and possibly a new heating element

..)
We give a big thumbs up to SFIO for a great little product.... Now I cannot wait to take it out into social situations where smoke or vapor is frowned upon. I know I'll have the last laugh when I see all the smokers huddled in their designated smoking areas like cattle in a corral and I sit there and puff away wherever I want to.
Great job TS and you've got 8 new customers and 3 new investors just from my little test last night. I've got 3 more events to attend this weekend but I'm afraid that I didn't purchase enough filters because I wasn't sure how well it would initially go. Silly me. How was I supposed to know that you were going to knock it out of the park !!!!
I hope the only focus now is to make the general public aware of this brilliant new technology...Hold on to your shares everyone, I think we have a winner..
P.S. It was just the battery and not the heating element. I'm enjoying it again.......and going to get in line for some more filters ! Good luck everyone and on this holiday let's not forget the men and women who fought and gave their lives to secure our freedom !!!
