Does anyone have an idea if he's advertising his site or did he just create it hoping that some naive person would fall for it hook, line and sinker?


OK, they have mall stores? Meanwhile, searching youtube I found this video giving them a positive review. Feel free to comment there. :)

YouTube - e cig review

BTW...the person in the video looks like he's about 16.

Just love the name "theshadowpimp". Yeah he is the pimp daddy of e-cigs. Thanks for the laugh. That vid has the quality of some cheap 1970's porn.

Having a kiosk in a mall would entail much higher overhead than companies selling solely through a website, hence the higher prices.

He probably does alot of good getting exposure for e cigs and then people get online and find out what's available.

I know of just the single anecdote (because I was involved), but the reverse can be true: I was talking to the CVS clerk who used to sell me cigarettes--he was wondering why I wasn't buying them anymore--and I showed him my Riva, suggesting he give the things a try. He waved his hand dismissively, telling me he'd been to a kiosk and they were "...way too expensive, like $150!"

I know for my own part that if the only option known to me had been the $160 single-battery eGo-clone kit this thief-with-website has for sale, I'd have passed on the idea of vaping as a viable, cost-effective option to cigarettes.

Totally Vapor USA. WHAT???!!!!

I suggest including their name in each post due to the fact that if a person googles totally vapor, they will get nothing but things like this: "but the prices on totally vapor look too good to be true". If their name is included more in this thread, the bots will add this thread to the search page and let others see that they could get twice the hardware for 1/3 of the price.

Yeah, I dig 'em. The relation to the screen name and the song is just a coincidence though. I never really remembered the name of that song. All I ever heard was "....just to see the look in their face." over and over. LOL

Feaky Styley was an early album with the original guitar player Hillel Slovak(RIP). Gone before his time, and extremely gifted. The album was also produced by George Clinton, and is probably my favorite of their early albums. Good stuff.

Yeah, it was ok. I only really liked a few songs. Catholic School Girls Rule, Brothers Cup, and of course Yertle the Turtle. It's funny, that was the only album (besides the 90s) that I didn't really care for. Saw them in a small venue in Portland for Mother's Milk. (Terrible juice idea BTW. :laugh: But better than Blood Sugar Sex Magik :lol:)

Y'know. Totally Vapor USA might have a good business plan now that I think of it. I could go and buy an eGo kit, an extra battery charger, a couple drip tips, and a couple lr attys for roughly $80, then split it in half and charge $160 for each half and make $240 off of one kit. (Too bad sarcasm doesn't type well. LOL)

WOW...what an a$$hole for charging these prices. Does he think that people won't shop around first? I know that some people think that paying more for an item means better quality, but come on! This is ridiculous.

The unfortunate thing is that a lot of people will shop around--at a mall kiosk, where they'll see $200 for an M401 kit. Then they'll log into this guy's site and think they're making out like a bandit.
