Smoking Everywhere in my local Mall!!!

[Vegatron75]

Heard they,SE, had a kiosk and went and checked it out. Unfortunetly my friends gf found out I had an e-cig. So instead of talking with me about it she went to the kiosk. They sold her a mini rn4075 I think for get this $120 and that's the one that only comes w/ only 1 battery.
Good God, What a rip-off. I felt bad for he because I couldn't believe she paid that much.
You can get those outta china for $17 each. Also they wanted $30 bucks for an extra battery. That's about a 800% mark-up.
$10 bucks for 5 of the puny carts, too.
They were selling 51smokes for $160 when I went there. Those e-cigs have a disposable atomizer and cart combo. You can't refill or anything. 5 refills for those for $15.
ANd the dumbass working there said the little carts are equal to 1 pack of heaters. HAHAHAHA.
First thing dude does is shove this e-cig in my face repeatedly. I told him that I wasn't hitting that thing for nothing. FLU germs whatever.
They also had cigars and pipes for a measly $200 each.
All in all it's good for me... I acutally have the same mini, got it for free from a local dude trying to sell his business, So I can show people the difference between the two and sell mine,801's, for 2/3 of SE's price.
I really should go up there and thank them...I guess.

They are pricey. But as long as people buy them, they'll keep selling them. Wish I had thought of that.

that's unfortunate...

and you can actually re-fill the smoke51 , i have done it many many many many times

When the unthinkable happened and both my batts died in one night my husband went by the kiosk in Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton. They told him they carried spare parts but did not have any at the time. Glad he called before buying because by then I had found a way to use a universal adaptor to get some vap and I had already reordered new batteries though it cost me $36.00 for the overnight shipping. Now have a box running 3 AA battjuice to my atomizer but am currently looking to stock up on some 801's.

Oh, i seen some dude that had a PV that had these disposeable attys. He was looking for carts. So you can refill them? They do come apart?

Smoke51 for $160 isn't too bad. LTV9 are usually in the "expensive" side.

 

[OldBiker]

$160 isn't too bad? I MUST be missing something, what all does that come with? No I don't own a smoke51, and if they cost that much I doubt I will. Unless they're really something special, meaning ultra long atty life or sold with a lot of extras I'd have a hard time forking over 160 bucks when I can get an 801 or 901 for under $50 from a US supplier. Even less from China.

Really? My 801 crushed it vapor wise. And personally the wide guage feel of those e-cigs is weird if not ghey.. Dude looked like he was puffing something else!!! If you know what I mean....

 

[GrimmGreen]

yeah $160 for ANY e-cig starter kit is to much , unless it includes 5 batteries and 4 atomizers with a 20ml bottle of juice..

as for the smoke51 refilling technique , the top of the cart-o-mizer has a little rubber cap that can be removed, Then drip away , or use a syringe avoiding the little hole in the middle , drip around the sides , maybe let it sit for 10 min or so to soak in... vape away

I spoke to the owner of the SE kiosks in the mall where my Branch is and he ordered a bunch of DSE-901s after I told him about them. Also on another visit I told them about USB passthroughs and they now carry those as well. I go to their Kiosk and and vape with them from time to time. BTW, my first ecig was an SE 3.0 kit I got off of ebay for $80 and they are still going strong. I only drip on them as they are excellent for this, great throat hit. I have been doing this for 3 months with them, batteries are still good, original vaporizer is still good and im surprised. They are too expensive IMO, but they are not a bad product.

So far I still don't have a complaint about my GOLDS. Two hours ago I officially marked off one full day without smoking analogs and I'm already feeling more lively.

Overpriced, yes but I'm finding them to be good products. I understand I haven't tried the others yet but I also don't see a reason to fix what isn't broken. When my atomizers give out (I have two) then I might consider getting a 901 if its significantly cheaper in the long run.

 

[Vicks Vap-oh-Yeah]

SE's problem isn't product....it's their business practices.....From what I've heard around here, they'll do anything, tell you anything, to make a sale....from NRT claims to equipment that lasts "forever"

You can sell the most perfect product in the world, but if you tell me its going to do one thing and it doesn't - that's a snake oil salesman.....

I bought my first ecig from SE online on "sale" for $89.00. The atomizer only lasted a couple of weeks and it took TWO MONTHS to get a replacement from them. They were backordered to start with, then they sent the wrong one. They came through in the end, but it was frustrating and was nearly cause for returning to analogs until I decided to try a pen style from another supplier. The difference was amazing. I was always sneaking analogs with the SE model, but quit completely with the 801 (and 510).

So OK, I can understand the backorder and I can even understand the human error involved with regard to sending the wrong sized atomizer. But what took the cake is that they charged my CC immediately upon placing the order.

I almost got cought up with one of thier pushy salesmen ...in fact he would have had the sale if the ATM wasnt broken lol he was gonna sell me the basic kit plus a bunch of carts AND told me the kit sold on thier website foe 175 but he would do me a favoor and let it go for 138 as I said the atm was broken I went to the SE website and found out the kit was being sold for just 89.00 THEN I found this board did some shopping around and ended up getting a joye 501 with an extra batt and atty basicly 2 e-cigs 8 boxes of carts a pcc charger ,abottle of e-liquid,and a box of blank carts for filling all this for 140 got to talk with Phil on the phone and the order should be here tomorrow if things are moving fast as far as USPS goes worst case senerio it will be here on monday By the way I am a non smoker with ashma so this is a gift for my girl who smokes close to two packs a day and also a gift to me not having to deal with 2nd hand smoke

We all know the mall kiosk vaporsticks are expensive. But the important thing is that these people are trying to quit smoking or have an alternative. Hopefully most will get tired of the expense and end up here or asking an enlightened friend.

SE Kiosk in the Ontario Mills Mall, In Ontario California, had the nerve to tell me that one cart lasted a carton of analogs. I told her she was full of crap. So I bought a pack of five for 25 dollars and smoke one cart until it died. (took about an hour) and requested a refund. Lol no joke, it was so much fun.

I thought about doing that same thing, I wasn't going to buy any though. I though about using there cig and smoking it down in about 15 minutes. While I listened to the shpeel.
