SmokeAssasin

[dreho]

SmokeAssasin, Anyone heard of this? I just listened to a commercial for them on AM radio. Its a deal for a free e-cig, you just pay shipping. Was just wondering if anyone had heard of them, and if they are legit. Sorry, just checked, seems they have a site at smokeassasin.com. Looks expensive to me...

It is in my opinion very expensive.
Also it seems there is no way on their website to get any information about cartrige strength etc.
This throws up a red flag for me.
Just remember you realy don't get something for nothing as far as the free trial goes.
I wonder if there could be a hidden subscription there some where?

I've read plenty about them on the forum after hearing their commercials run constantly on my XM radio. The free e-cig requires an automatic cartridge refille subscription which they take your credit card number, bill you and send you "x" number of cartridges a month ( I think that's correct , someone correct me if I'm wrong )

That commercial is actually what led me to search the internet and find this forum.
I got a Dragon from truesmoker.com that I'm pretty happy with at the moment. For my first e -cig I think I made a good choice. You'll find that everyone's experiences are different and there are varying opinions on e-cig models. My advice would be to read enough and ask enough questions if you need to to be comfortable purchasing a device.

There are obviously several good models to choose from and great vendors for them on the forum.

"Free" is not free. You'll pay up the nose in the end. There are excellent suppliers on this forum who will give you a good deal. Check them out. You won't be sorry.

Definitely. I hadn't heard of SmokeAssassin but Smoke51 does the same kind of deal, and nail you for an autorefill program behind the scenes. I scoured the Smoke51 free trial ad for disclaimers and fine print, and found nothing indicating sticking it to ya in this manner..........but they do.

Smoke Assasin is like 60 bucks a month for the refill carts....disgusting...

My sister got the Smoke Assassin and was having huge cravings and nic withdrawls symptoms. Kept going back to analogs. Then she found out her carts were no nic. She definately was not happy with them. Plus the $60 per month refill plan is highway robbery.

Wow, that's just insane. $60 can get you 300ml at certain vendors...

Watch out!

NOTHING is free in the country anymore.

RUN AWAY FROM SMOKE ASSASSIN.

I fell for the "free trial" radio ad, since I wanted to (ha ha!) inexpensively explore vaping a bit while I investigated reputable companies from whom to purchase my starter kit.

I wrote about them today at length in the Vendors to Avoid forum topic; take a look there for all the sordid details. In a nutshell, it's worse than bait and switch; it's outright lying and fraud. They promised repeatedly I would be charged only $9.95 s/h at this time; then hit my card with $79.99. Worse yet, I think I may now also get charged $16.99 x 2 for the two "free trial offers" that came with the deal -- trials I didn't want, but were simply included -- for two companies that allegedly give discounts when shopping. I didn't want shopping discount memberships, I just wanted a single e-cig to try out! Now, I may be on the hook for $80 *and* $60 + $17 + $17 on a recurring monthly basis!! YEOWWW!!

Oh, and what they don't tell you in the radio ad or even while you're on the phone giving them your order: SmokeAssassin e-cigs come *only* in a zero nicotine formula. They did not advise me of this, even when I off-handedly mentioned how happy I was to be soon getting my NICOTINE FIX in a cleaner way. I only learned that fact after the barn door had closed, so to speak.

As I said: RUN. AWAY.

I heard a commercial for it yesterday on 93.3 kdkb. Heard it the day before too...seems to come on around 12:30pm. It seriously reminded me of those late night, real estate, "make money fast!!" infomercials... How much more can you make something sound like a rip off?

Smoke Anywhere, Smoke Assassin, and Smoke 51 really should be a sticky thread (in this forum) for "WHERE NOT TO BUY". I see so many stories posted here from newbies (myself included), that got raked over the coals by them.

AVOID with prejudice.

They advertise no nic on their site. I looked up reviews on this product and came accross many many complaints. Most who ordered haven't got their package and can't get through to customer service, making it seem like a scam. So beware.
