hey are you kidding ? if that thing is like a blue, i know why most customers are not satisfied.

any newbies using this thing as his 1st device will just shrug, throw it away and think : "so, that is e-smoking? what a nerd stuff. ", getting back to pyros.

i have this thing laying around and thought to use it just like a test station for new liquids, but even for that task its not sufficient. liquids taste not as good as in other devices, and the draw could be dscribed as a lung trainer, and even if you draw hard,its not clear that the UDS triggers and heats the atomizer.

i bought the similar health e cig from amazon for 12 bucks.. its impossible to get any good vapor unless you give it a good 3 or 4 semi-quick puffs.. i had mine returned to me twice for maintenance and it died again.. so its sitting in my car.. just waiting to be thrown at somebody
Yeah I think I saw the same one on amazon too. Thanks for the info. I think I will pass, they just sound tooo disposable for my taste.

SKU25043 and SKU14561 are both a waste of time and money; don't even bother with them. They both use the same horrible cart design (hard draw), and they both have inconsistent automatic switches.

I've already mentioned this in another thread, but if you want one of these dirt cheap e-cigs, the only one that's worth it is SKU.18431 (also available at focalprice SKU HH126W).

    Man I thought this was the one that I found a while ago- the generic Blu. The company was having trouble and I figured they were doing this to just get rid of their extra stock. But if it had been them I would have bought it, as a back up/throw away or something to let people try out on the go. I wouldn't buy this one, because it looks like the cheepest of the cheep.

    Dealtime will probably hate me and likely pull the post but I wrote a response as to how cheap this was and if someone wanted a "REAL" E-cig they needed to stop by this forum, read up on the various types and tips associated with e-cigs instead of wasting time on that thing. I also added at the end a list of various websites that sell quality e-cigs so they can choose one that will last more than a few days and not deposit that "gritty, powdery" stuff in their mouth as one poster commented. Hopefully they will take my advice and come here looking for the truth.

    One poster even had a listing of all the "bad" ingredients in it. I set that straight from jump telling them to google the report from the Auckland University in New Zealand on the first clinical trial of electronic cigarettes and how there was no cancer-causing carcinogens in the e-cigarettes like there was in the tobacco cigarettes with their 4000+ and counting... I told them to save their health and their dollars by buying a real e-cig instead of this one or tobacco cigs that will end up killing them for $50 + a carton when they can get a decent e-cig for about $58 bucks or so.

    Perhaps someone will read it and find their way here to where the truth resides. It couldn't hurt to try or at least that's my take on it. But then again I am still reeling from my doctor's appointment yesterday.

    I had a lupus/Sjogren's checkup where the doctor checks my ears, throat, chest, etc... and joints of course to find out how the lupus is faring and he actually asked me about my lungs being clear. I showed him my little case of Janty Dura-C kit and handed him some papers on the reports that the FDA lied about its findings and how e-cigs had NO cancer-causing carcinogens in them whereas cigarettes (tobacco ones) have some 4000+. By the sounds of my chest without the usual wheezing and rattling going on, there was none. He was so impressed he asked if I would please spread the word to let others know that this device exists and how well it works at getting a smoker healthy. I did tell him it had the nicotine and those barely detectable natrosamines (sp?) that's found in the Nicorette patches, gum, and Nicorette inhalers as well as foods and such so it was already a safe ingredient by FDA standards and the "smoke" put out by the e-cigs was nothing more than a water vapor. He said he could live with that as could his patients and many others if they would make the switch from traditional tobacco cigarettes to the e-cigarettes.

    It's nice for someone with so many health problems to begin with to go to the doctor and walk out with good news for a change. It just made my entire day. :thumbs:

    Great job, paise on trying to get the facts out there! I also showed my doctor and gave him some of the same printed information a couple of weeks ago. We all need to educate as many doctors as we can about personal vaporizers.:thumb:

    In my first days of e-cigs, I bought 10 of the e-health set for back-up, and dirty work use. If I ever went to a heavy job, or had to work on the car, or something similar, I took one othe the cheapies with me. If I broke or lost it, no big deal. Surprisingly, they all worked. I still have a few of them for bad work use.

    I still wouldn't recommend them. Buy at your own risk, but as a spare?
