I almost got suckered in by these people but then I found this forum. Well, I emailed the local distributor of these rip offs asking what justified their insanely high price. This is their response:
In any industry there are leaders and new companies trying to get a share of the market. The reason there are cheaper alternatives is that in China there are several factories making similar products. There will always be competition but what seperates our company is one: Smoking Everywhere is the largest electronic cigarette company in the world. We own the manufacturing facility in China, this lets us guarantee the product for a year. If you look at the small print on all those other websites - they might have a 30 day or 14 day guarantee. We as in Clean Cigarettes will guarantee this product for life because of our commitment to helping people stop smoking and that the product is so good we are comfortable in doing so. Smoking Everywhere just bought out the second largest company in the US - njoy.
Essentially most these devices are similar on how they work, but another difference is that our product has all the health dept requirements that insures our product is safe. We stand behind our product and we aren't going anywhere. Most of these internet sites that are selling electronic cigarettes are some guy working out of his basement. Perfect example: I was able to buy a different electonic cigarette before we became a distributor for Smoking Everywhere, I would of loved to stay with them because thier pricing was lower, but two weeks after I made my purchase they were unable to sell me anymore products (cartridges) because they haven't ordered anymore yet? Small operators aren't set up to handle the volume our company is doing so that is why we are working with the largest and most established in the industry. Bottom line is go ahead a buy one from some individual on ebay or amazon and see what kind of service you recieve and what kind of guarantee you will get. We base our sales on personal relationships with our clients and are there when they need anything - not some email on the internet. Also check on the actual govt approvals these small guys have. Our product is superior in flavor, mechanically our batteries last longer and they are guaranteed for life.
thanks for your interest in our products and good luck with your goal to stop smoking tobacco cigarettes.
Sincerely,
Frank Simotics
and one from the other head of the distributor:
before we became a distributor of this product Frank tried other electronic cigarettes. The filters tasted not as good, and the first company we tried the electronic portion of the cigarette kept breaking down. This is the Rollys Royce of the companies and the most reliable. I have been to their warehouse in Florida and they can provide the product instantly, they are never out of stock. We also like the feel of the cigarette, and it is not in anyway a rip-off. The most important thing is that we offer a lifetime gtd to our product, if it wasn;t really good we could never do this. I addressed my concerns to Frank and as you can see below this was his response. Thanks for your help.
