Smart Smoker e-cig

[Ruby]

I kind of liked the little design on this one and the price looks really good at £12.99. But being a newbie I couldn't begin to try to assess it by the pic.
Has anyone tried it yet?

That is interesting looking, and i like the little design on it, too. But it's pretty different from what anyone else has, so I'd be concerned bout where to get compatable cartridges. You can always refill, of course, but it's still not good to be locked into buying new ones from one supplier.

Thanks Leaford - that is useful to know.

It does look good Ruby. I don't know if you noticed that it only comes with one battery so you would have to find spares or buy two kits to have two batteries. With postage it works out at more or less £20. Add the cost of another battery. You can buy a (recommended) DSE901 black mini (with two batteries and postage) from Smokester for £31. So to my eyes you would save £11 but have one less battery and an untested device.

If you want to be a tester though, it might be a good idea, it certainly looks nice.

I wanted to try e-cigarettes, so I signed up for the "Free Trial" from Smart Smoker.

Turns out their idea of "Free" costs $120.

First the $9.99 shipping charge
Then $13.00 in customs (I live in Canada, where apparently they usually don't let these through the border)
Then I discovered that the company charged my credit card $100 before I could return them.

I canceled the same day I received the package in the mail, resigned to admit that I did not read the 'Terms and Conditions', so I deserved it.

When I told the customer service rep that they were dishonest in their approach, she had the audacity to tell me that "nothing in life is free".

I wanted to warn anyone who is thinking of dealing with this company that you MUST BE PREPARED TO SPEND AT LEAST $120, as that is the cost of their free trial.

My review of the actual device: not bad, but not great. It doesn't actually taste much like tobacco, and doesn't offer the same sensation as a good strong cigarette. It might be useful as a quit-aid, however!
