ONLY A RUMOR, Piolet gas stations info

[ShimmyPrincess]

Origional post
Was just talking to Pilot Truckstop manager in Carlisle, PA. Was told they have received orders from corporate that they are to pull ALL njoy products off the shelves Tuesday!! Manager said they have been authorized to put them ALL on sale monday for 50% off.

I called my pilot, he called the PA store. It started as an e-cig user suggesting a sale...it's not true. They will not be on sale today. Despite a possible ban, they are keeping thier kits at reg. price of $69.99

Ahh What the hell! I was going to go today!
LOL Thank you kindly Miss Shimmy, for saving me to drive 2 hours and stand there w/ my head down in a gas station muttering "Let's go home "

Well bad news is good news in this case. Bad news, no sales......... good news, maybe all this is bull hockey............. <fingers crossed>

I agree bad news is good news in this case. I am hoping the FDA will take a stand like they do with real soap. The FDA doesn't like if you make soap and put health claims on the packaging. Maybe, just maybe, they will stomp their feet for now at those making health claims about e smoking. That does seem most logical to me since people like SE should not be making any health claims, I believe it must be better than analog but in actuality it is a big unknown. (who says my government has ever been known to do things logically though)

I was looking around the njoy site yesterday... Costco has zip when you hit the link, their web page has no product either. They are here in Scottsdale.

I called the only Pilot Travel Center near me (only about 25 min.) and they said there was no sale, wouldn't be a planned sale, and they had stock (I think she quoted me $85!!). Then I booted up the laptop this morning and saw this.

Good to know that if I had a complete equipment failure (all 17 atomizers), I COULD get a fix if I really needed to.

This is annoying

If you ever want to know what is up with njoy, just go to Amazon. They have them with free shipping. This means that Njoy has been able to get into the FBA program, meaning Amazon ships them direct from their warehouse. You have to be approved to sell anything other than books, which means Amazon is aware of ecigs and has given their approval for them to be sold on the site.

If THOSE get pulled for some reason, then worry.

I just looked on Amazon, and all the Njoy ecigs say they are out of stock. Well all but one sold in the Amazon Marketplace. But the one's from Amazon are gone.

Now a search for Njoy does bring up some things that are, shall we say, not ecig related. ahemmmmm

I also spoke with the CEO/Owner/Founder of nJoy and this is a rumor. Shimmy is correct in her assessment.

Now, is it possible that some privately owned Pilot stations are doing their own thing? Yes. But according to nJoy, he is completely unaware of any decision of that kind by Pilot.

 

[IntoxiNation]

Well I got my own confirmation. My brother in law is a manager at a Pilot here in Ohio and he just said they have them in stock, nothing from corporate and no sale price. So all looks normal so far.

And they still have parts. I called Shirley Brown last week to replace two atomizers under warranty, she mailed them out the same day, I received 3 days later, no problems.

I sincerely hate when someone does this, especially when e-cigs aren't mainstream as of yet and getting news about them is touch and go. It causes a "cry wolf" effect and makes it impossible to know what's accurate and what isn't.

Who posted the original message? I'd like some feet held to the fire, personally.

I just checked a T/A stop. They have two kits left for 70 bucks each. I'll check them tomorrow and see if they're still there. If they go to 1/2 price, I may grab another kit.

EDIT; checked again today (5/5) Still on the shelves, and still $69.99.
