Anyone heard of this place. Knockout Vapor Electronic Cigarettes and E Cig Supplies They opened up a kiosk in our local mall. They are charging $24 for a 15ml bottle of juice. The one that got me was their Ego-t knockoff calling it the original and charging a new product price of only $249.95 for a starter kit!!! What a deal!!!!! The guy working there could tell me nothing about any details. Only press the button and take a drag man. Ain't that nice??? I said it tastes burned. I pulled out my Joyetech Ego 1000Mah passthrough battery, and said oh you have a copy of our product. There is a lot of them out there and they are all cheaply made. He told me my budsapphire was last year's technology and this cartomizer will do the trick much better for me. He said what I really needed what a dual coil carto tank for my Ego battery. I asked him what resistance it was running at he replied it holds 3ml sir. Oh man and the tank was on sale for $39.95. It was basically a Notta Tank just like Stormy sells with a dual coil carto. Wow this place is gonna hurt want to be new vapers!

Well, they are a rip off, no doubt, but there's a sucker born every minute. People buy Louis Vuitton bags when a plastic one does the same thing. Go back and push them harder for info: where is this manufactured? Who is your supplier? Should be good for a laugh to watch them squirm. I am going to go to the site and email these and some other questions. I will post back if I get a reply.
Although the price and knowledge of the product is bad, at least they are selling a product that works. So +10 for non-cigarette looking PV, -15 for price and misinformation.
Wow that is disgusting .... especially considering that a genuine Joye Ego is about $20 per unit wholesale. Loved the sellers reply to your question regarding the ohm rating on the carto. Those types of mark ups should be illegal!
Every mall and most gas stations around me have the same thing. Imo they kill vaping for most who try them. Not knowing what is out there they try an over priced lesser quality product and give up i all most did but mine was way cheap online and then i found this place and my head exploded
These guys only have One mod and it's not a VV. I'd say thie product isn't even superior to my Lavatube - or heck - even a MadVapes VV.
They do not say what voltage thier batteries are or the ohm rating of the atomizers ( the do say Low ohms to distinguish it from their other model which doesn't even say High) Thier atties are 25 and 30 dollars!
So.. this place has kiosks in more than one mall?? - with such few products?? - And such high prices??
I know mall stores charge more because they have high rent but these people even manage to make the high mall vendors look super cheap.
I'm thinking they are run by the Mafia and are cleaning some dirty money.

That is one of the great things about ECF - the ability to find out about these kiosk places. I am so glad I never bought from one of these. Although I do give them credit for expanding the presence of ecigs, at the same time they are way over priced.
At the local mall kiosk, the wife of one of the guys at work paid about $100 for a KR808 kit with two batteries, a USB pigtail charger, and 10 generic carts that don't have the nicotine content printed on the label or the product. That kiosk sells 5 pack prefilled cartomizers for $18.00. A similar kit would cost half that at our sponsor sites.
But ignorance is bliss. He hasn't had a cigarette since Christmas.
...and I now have him pointed to smokelessimage.com and the Volt, so this story has a happy ending.

The only good thing about the Kiosks for me is when I saw one, it triggered in my mind that I should look ecigs up online. That's what made me find this forum. I didn't spend money on their junk, so I started with decent gear at a whole lot less money.
Just a quick glance at the site, and their "e cig tank mod" is the bolt with a tank on it. 12 for the tank and 45 for the bolt at mv (no battery) They're selling it for 99. I got my bolt from ccv and it was 37 WITH the battery.
I emailed this place too, they are online now as well!!! Buyer beware!!
They claim their products and made from the ground up, and that theirs are the best in the industry!! They have several locations, it's very very sad....ppl will be duped, and go back to smoking, because it will be cheaper!

Same here. Actually I spent a lot more money, but I have a bunch of quality gear to show for it!
With their kiosk business model you are looking at multi level marketing, and they guy running the kiosk wants to earn a living too. That makes it a lot more expensive than ordering a Bolt or little 510 from MadVapes. This is the same business model used by your popular cell phone companies, and why cell phones are so expensive.
At least they are selling a 510, ego clone, and the bolt instead of 808-D2's.

Unreal. What a joke.. I looked at their website... Let me get one of those 510 kits for $129.00... And how about the $21.00 20ml juice... They claim it will last for months, even with heavy vaping....lol
And not forget the great deals on the 510 atomizers, WOW they are only $30.00 a piece......
Update.... So I contacted the website and the owner e-mailed me back... Actually a pretty nice guy. He explained to me that his business is a retail type, so he is not competing with online vendors. has much more overhead with store fronts and employees. Does offer a lifetime warrenty which can add to the costs. I will say at least they do sell a 510 setup for the novice user to get a start in the world of e-cigs.. Plus their juices are USA made and they will make any PG/VG ratio you want... Thay do have a discount code for online buyers....
kov50 for a 50% discount which brings their products more in line price wise...

I just stopped into the mall kiosk here as the guy who runs it knows me and they always like seeing what new stuff I have. They sell a pretty decent 808 there that at least works even though it's still over priced.
They have started selling an Ego tank style with 1300mah batteries which they are selling for $200. I asked how much 1 battery would cost and they said $49.95. Normally, I would balk at that, but they do have a lifetime warranty on it so it would actually pay for itself in not too much time and they were good quality batteries.
Their liquid is still way overpriced and they had to look up the voltage of the batteries, etc but they weren't completely clueless. They did like my Stardusts and asked for more info on them.
After looking into the costs of a kiosk, I can somewhat understand the markup. Around here, kiosks run $3k-8k/mo depending on the season. Add that to employee overhead, insurance and product cost and it's a lot more pricey than having an online store. I'm still not sure it's worth quite the markup they put on it though.

Like others, I'll give them points for not selling complete junk. Also they're only marking it up 500% or so. Usually it's $100 for a kit you can get on dealextreme for $10. That's a 1000% markup for junk. So, they are somewhat better than most.
I am not sure what all the guy who emailed u said, but he got pretty snippy with me ( not that it's a big deal, I told him his prices were outrageous, so I had it coming I guess ) but I have heard on here and other places that they basically brain wash ppl into believing this "built for the ground up" crap. They get these ppl thinking that they have the best gear and all our stuff is knockoffs. I can't respect the guy even if he is selling legit stuff, he ( or at least his "trained employees" ) have seriously shady business practices, IMO
