Yes I screwed myself, how you ask? well.. I RAN OUT OF CARTOMIZERS!! why did this I suppose 1stly by getting a non-mainstream ecig-alike ismok. Though it WAS a gift and it did get me interested in e cigs and off analogs.
The real screw up though was under ordering combined with shoddy QA on the vendors end. Currently I know of exactly TWO places online that I can buy carts at, J&R.com and the Ecigs homepage. At J&R I pay $9.99 + $2.99 S&H for 5 carts (+$1.00 more in shipping for every additional 5 pack) and wait around 1-2 weeks
From the official site it is $17.99 +$3.00 S&H flat or 20 for $34.99 +$3.00 S&H flat.
Since I haven't been doing this that long, or even knew if it was for me, I bought a 5 pack and found that I made a cart last around 2-3 days. I did order a 20 pack on August 31 but they haven't arrived yet which would not have been so bad had I not gotten 3 bad carts in the 5 pack.
the first two were fine, then on the third I thought the draw was off, and the flavor. it was a way lighter draw with nothing for TH where as normally theres a pretty strong TH, at least compared to my American spirits Analogs. The 4th was the same way and only lasted me 1 day, and the 5th I put on at 10am and took exactly 37 drags/draws/hits and its tasting burnt big time. I am soo frustrated!
I haven't had analogs in the house since the 20th and now I'm sitting here with NOTHING to smoke or vape. I have NO idea where the nearest B&M vape store is from me and will have to just tough it out until my order arrives since I promised the wife no more analogs and I WILL NOT break my promise to her.
This is just one more reminder of two of Vapings biggest issues for me, one is availability, its very easy to get analogs just about anywhere at anytime day or night and with vaping you have to preplan and stock up and the other and slightly more annoying, more important to me is that you just never know how much vape you have. Ok maybe you more experienced guys have a pretty good idea, but those of use just starting no way!
I'm having a hard enough time convincing the wife that no "one cartridge is.." NOT "equal to a pack and a half (30 cigarettes)" and at the moment at least with analogs i KNEW exactly how many cigarettes I did have and how long that would have held me. with ecigs it seems that I cant even count on carts being equal quantity.
THen theres the fact that on the homepage it says they have Strong (24mg) carts but they are never available for ordering. I have no way of tracking my order as they didnt include the tracking info on my order form or a link to it, and there seems to be nowhere on the site to see my order info/history etc.. only the email they sent after the order even though their website states:
When will my Order Arrive?
Most orders shipped via Standard Ground will in arrive within 3-5 business days. Orders shipped via Expedited Shipping will arrive within 1-3 business days Guaranteed.
How do I Track my Order?
Orders shipped via UPS are trackable by logging into your account. Customers will be notified that the UPS tracking number has been posted via an Order Status Update e-mail as well.
I cant even find where to Log in to my account though I set one up and they sure as hell billed my Credit card!
UGH sorry for the rant just frustrated.. and wanting a vape/smoke BADLY!
