I haven't had a chance to try it, but it doesn't look like much of a price performer either.

Well it’s a gas station device so one would assume not. Quite the opposite actually. You get to buy cigarettes all over again PLUS a device.

Exactly what I think. What’s the point in using a device which is, by all means, just a different cigarette? Maybe it makes sense for some people but, for me, I’ll keep my vaping habits, thanks.

IMO, it's a good way for one of the BT players to make up for their 'lost profits'.

BTW, @Robert T. Tan, can I use an image from a recent blog post of yours (Federal Judge Orders FDA to Speed Up E-Cig Regulations) on my vapin' page? A link to the page is in my sig.
