Newbie wants advice about a vendor

[Papa Smurf]

Hello Everyone,

Ya'll please set me straight if I'm doing anything wrong here as this is my very first post.

I guess I should start off giving a little info about myself before I start asking questions. I have smoked for 50 plus years and as of February 25, 2012, I quit smoking and starting vaping. I like so many others from what I have read here, started out with the little ones that look and feel like a regular cigarette which was not very satisfying at all, then tried a mid size which was better but still wasn't getting too much vapor. Back the last part of June, I was reading here about the success so many folks had with the Apollo VTube, and decided to try one. It is great; especially after I added a Vivi Nova.

Now to the question. As I said previously, I really like the Apollo VTube and would like to get another for a spare. Just this morning, I saw a ad for a look a like by Free-Cigs.com advertised for 29.99 with free shipping. Has anyone had any dealings with them. I would like some feedback before I order from them. Such as if they are a good vendor,good customer service,security of the site, etc. Any and all experiences would be appreciated.


Thank you all in advance for any help.

Can't help you on this one, but I did just purchase a Reva from NWVAPORS.COM. Outstanding service and the owner answered the phone when I called with questions. I had everything in 2 days and Oregon is a long way from Ohio. He also threw in a few accessories gratis to see what I thought about them.

BTW, I am a newb at this and have no financial interst in the e-seller other than I felt that his approach to his business and his customers was outstanding.

I looked at the free-cigarettes.com site you mentioned... it has a "beware" statement below it that says the company has gone out of business, and says some other detrimental things about it as well. It also has some links to other sites.

I guess I'm confused as to how you found the v-tube on that site?

If I was new to vaping again, I would be very careful about where I got them, and about anyone that offers "free trials".

All the vendors recommended on the suppliers page are good.

I worry about anything that says it's 'Free', but could you provide a link for us?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yep no direct link except to Green()$&"!? If it looks like spam then it prolly is ....
There's also a reason OP never provided a hot link- prolly cuz ECF will block it. Also even more suspicious members have asked for a direct link and no response.

Thank you and I'm sorry but I actually put the wrong name in. It should have been Free-cigs.com. There is so many different sites with similar names, I just messed up. Again, sorry about the wrong info.

If you've already gotten stellar service from Apollo & happy with what you've purchased. & the quality why would you buy basically the same thing from someone else? I've never dealt with Apollo, I have a mini Provari but I've never heard a complaint about apollos quality or customer service. Also I hear they warranty the hell out of there tubes. If there is a problem they fix it. Why add the extra strain or worry to save 15.00 tops? That's just my thoughts.

 

[Saphirsis]

I understand about the name, there are a lot of similar names out there, no doubt of that!
I agree with eyebedam, however. If you have a company that you really like, stick with it.

I don't see any good or bad reviews for that vendor, and they aren't on ecf's list of vendors.

you mostly get what u pay for, in some cases u dont even get that hehe
personally id stick with trusted vendors myself

If it says free in the name, RUN, in the 3 years I've been vaping no such animal exists in the vaping world.

I just want to give a big THANKS to all of you that post the very informative articles here on the forum. I joined in June and I have really enjoyed reading your post. There is so much info on here, I believe you could read for weeks. It sure helps us newbies out.

So thanks again everyone. Keep up the good work and maybe when I grow up I can be useful also.

While I'm getting my feet wet posting, I want to give a Giant Thank You to all of you that give such informative post on here. I just joined in June but discovered this forum right after I started vaping. I enjoy reading these post and have found a lot of useful info here. I believe I could read for weeks and never finish. This is a great place to learn.

So Thank you again and maybe when I grow up I can be helpful also to someone.

Well, I see I've made a double post. Sorry about that. Is there anyway to delete a post once you have made it?

Thanks again,
