Need help ASAP before ordering for the Mrs...

[pantera]

Hey all,

So here's the sitrep:

I go to a site all the time called redflagdeals.com... its a canadian site that gives out deal, discounts and coupons for all sorts of stuff (If you're in canada and like cheap stuff, join lol)

So they have a deal on what looks like a kr808 or 510 (cigarette style) ecig kit. It seems to be automatic, comes with 1 batt, 1 atty, 10 pack of cartridges and a charger for 35$ (free shipping on the first order.

here is the link: Deal of the Day: $35 for Smokeless e-Cigarette and Lifetime Free Refills with Free Shipping! ($1500 Value)

So here is the issue: 1, has ANYONE ever heard of/dealt with these guys?

I assume if redflagdeals is working with them, they should be ok but it says 6-8 weeks for shipping so I assume its a drop ship from China...

If anyone has used them, are they ok? 510/808 compatible for cartos? it says 5 year warranty so i assume they should be at least usable...

My wife is picky and hates my ego 1000mah... lol too big and ugly she says... looks like im sucking a .... she says... lmao...

So I wanna get an auto batt that looks like a cig that I can get replacement attys or cartos for in the future... also, would 35$ be a good deal for this and "free lifetime cartridges"? Or does someone have a better idea?

Thanks guys and gals...

I hate to pressure but this deal is only on for 3 days so I gotta know soon...

You guys rock!

Since it seems like you need an immediate answer, I will provide a short one for the time being.


It isn't worth it, and advise you to let this one pass by.

I will include a more detailed follow up response in the near future, either from myself or another vet.


Thanks

I agree with LGD. Let this one pass you by. There are a number of ECF vendors with whom you can get a comparable or better deal for a starter kit that comes with 2 batteries, known thread types, and much faster shipping.

The fact that the deal says that's it's a $1500 value is your first clue that there's a scam involved somewhere. Your link no longer goes to the deal, but I'd check the fine print carefully. It's highly unlikely that any battery will last 5 years, and it sounds like you would get locked into a contract that requires you to wait 6-8 weeks every time you run low on refills. this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/65772-do-not-order-free-trials.html might be of some help to you .

It's not a good deal at all, in my opinion.

It's a 3 piece mini kit consisting of a battery (with charger), atomizer, and a cartridge. I suspect these are proprietary and not compatible with widely available 510 and KR808D-1 products. "Life-Time Refills (10 pack per order) are free, just pay processing & handling of $7.95" is not a good value at all for 10 prefilled cartridges. And what's their guarantee that this company will be around next year or five years from now to continue to provide these "free" refills? What about when you charger, battery, or atomizer eventually fail, which they ALL do? Even though they claim to offer a five year warranty, I'd wager they'd find a way to make you pay for replacements with more exorbitant process & handling fees.

You'd be better off buying a 510 or KR808D-1 auto kit with blank cartomizers (cartos). Cartomizers are much more preferable to cartridges and are widely available and affordable. Horizontal and vertical coil variations are available for both 510 and KR808D-1 batteries. Stick with standard resistance cartos since low resistance cartos tend to stress mini batteries and reduce their useful lifespan. Cartomizers offer better juice capacity, more consistent performance, and are less messy. You'd also need to fill the cartomizers with separately purchased e-liquid, but you'll spend much less money in the long run and have a much better performing e-cig for your wife. Plus, she'd be able to try dozens of different flavors instead of being limited to their tobacco, menthol, vanilla, java, and cherry, none of which have any nicotine. (I understand obtaining nic juice in Canada presents its own challenges)

Let this "deal" pass you by and keep shopping.
