Just wanted to share my experience w/ "Just Vape" in Quincy, Mass.
Ive been vaping for a few months now - I own a few different systems; using an X-power as my main vape these days. Recently, it broke in my pocket at work. I live near Boston, but I usually get my supplies from Vapers Haven in western mass. Anyway I didn't want to make the trip this time, so I figured I'd check out Just Vape. I walked in 90% sure I was going to buy his system (G6 is the only one he sells), but he oversold me hard anyway. I tried it out in the shop, and I liked the hardware and the fluid (halo), so I knowingly overpaid - $100 for two batts, seven cartomizers, a 30-mil bottle of Halo fluid, and a wall/USB charging setup.
Couple of things you should know: it's *Cash Only* and -- unfortunately I didn't notice this -- *All Sales are Final.*
Between the overselling, cash only, and no refunds, I should have been wary. But I needed something, so I'm not sure It would have made a difference if he had told me all sales were final. (it's in small print at the bottom of the receipt.)
When I went to charge the unit in my car, it was clear from the adapter indicator light that the battery wasn't pulling a charge. Long story short, neither batteries took a charge, in the car, off my computer, or with the wall socket. After a few attempts to charge both batteries, I packed everything back up as it came.
When i went to return everything (minus the fluid- I had opened the bottle, and it was good fluid anyway) a couple days later (it was the weekend and I didnt feel like making a special trip), the guy was super defensive and accused me of breaking it. He licked the batteries and said he tasted fluid on them, and pointed out that I had used the USB adapter in the car ( this seems like a ridiculous point of contention, since the USB dongle is always going to have to plug into something that doesn't come with the kit). He suggested I had lost money gambling and was just looking to get some cash together (absurd on several counts), and was generally just dickish about the whole thing -- all the while telling me that he was being professional.
To his credit, he replaced the batteries (one of them actually works!), but at that point I had soured, and really just wanted my money back and to never lay eyes on the guy again.
Take all this fwiw, but I would say you should be wary of buying stuff from a store that won't take any returns, for any reason-- especially since you can get the same kit online for half as much. It's a shame there isn't a decent place to get ecig supplies w/in an hour of Boston. If dude hadn't been such a ...., I might have gone back to get fluid now and then (Halo is good stuff). I certainly would have been happy not to have to schlepp all the way out to Easthampton (The guy at Vapers Haven is cool/helpful/doesnt oversell; they have a 7 day return policy) when I need supplies.
In general, I understand that ecigs are all made in china and arent high quality. Sucks for consumers and is a liability for retailers. But if you sell something that doesn't work, seems to me you should give the customer his money back.
I'd be interested in hearing about other peoples experience w/ general quality of ecigs. Do you have one that 1)smokes well w good throat hit -- even after a month or two 2) can stand up to being in your pocket?
