I think Swanee is coming from a whole different school of thought here. The school that says anything not specifically outlawed in black and white should be permissable. I say, let them do business as they see fit, but I will most definitely call them some names if feel the urge. I will also do what I feel to be the right thing and say something about it when the opportunity arises. I will not stand directly in the way of their perfectly legal business practices, but I also will not stand idly by and pretend that their practices do not offend me.

And i have no problem with that other freedom we have speech.I guess the original reason i got worked up was equazcion was speaking like he was being totally screwed on the price when it's just not true... Profit isn't a dirty word

Or in fewer words:

Swanee is from the "the fact that you can take advantage of someone means there's no reason not to" school. I'll have to leave that as a difference of opinion.
 
I am not sure why people are always stating to buy an atomizer every month.. perhaps i am lucky.. but i have had mine for over a month without any issues. the way i saw it was like this...

Buy a E-cig kit, Price - 40-60$
Buy 15ml of juice, Price 15-20$ ( should last at-least 1-2 months )
Buy 1 extra atomizer and battery Price ( 20$ )
Total $75-100 for the first month

Now after the first month you are really only paying for 15ml of juice for every 1-2 months so that comes to $7.50-15$ a month...

compare that to a pack a day smoker who will spend roughly 135$ a month.. and you see the savings..

Now of course once you become an E-cigger then you may dwell into more models and parts.. but as a whole in general you will say a ton!!!

People are saying buy an atomizer once a month because it seems people are killing their atomizers at a rate of about 1 to 2 atomizers a month. Personally, I have yet to call it quits on an atomizer. My two are still going strong after 2 1/2 months. I don't clean them, or blow them, or let them sit upside down overnight. When they seem way too clogged, I blow them out, reprime them, and start all over again. I don't want to jinx myself though, so I will not question these other practices, they do seem to work for others.

I can just see how my next order with Puresmoker will go after this. I'll probably get a refund and an email saying "Go F--- yourself. -Steve"

I doubt it. Steve seems pretty levelheaded. He may rib you about it, though. He has fielded several complaints about prices and always seems pretty cool about it. That is actually what inspired me to order from him to begin with, that he was honest, upfront, and polite when dealing with people who were upset.

You schmucks think this is expensive now, just wait, big tobacco will be selling these soon enough, and the taxes will be rediculous. You will wish it were this cheap. The masses will be buying these prom phillip morris et al, taxed by the feds, and they will try to put us underground. Enjoy the good times, while you can baby's. Keep biatching.

Bottom line to me is I have been trying to quit, longer than most of you have been alive, and these are a frikin fantastic product, in that all I did was keep on token, and feel ton's better. Healthier, more flavors, more fun, and am happy to buy, try, and find the best available. I am not harming those I love around me anymore either. I even had my doc smilin with these. 1st time in many years.

Good luck in your pursuits, and keep on biatching, I laugh at a fool, and his thought process.
 
That barely lasts me a week. 2ml/day is a very typical amount that someone would vape.

60ml/month is around what most people would use - ballpark figure.


I have 1 15ml of juice since Dec 2nd and almost done with it I vape everyday... I think it differs for each user.. I was a pack a day smoke before hand.. perhaps changing your nicotine strength will lower your usage?

Buy 15ml of juice, Price 15-20$ ( should last at-least 1-2 months )

Lets take the penstyle carts for comparison. 1 penstyle cart has about 1ml of liquid. If 15ml lasts a month (i don't even wanna consider 2 months), it basically means 1 pen cart lasts for 2 days. Its more or less even if you argue that dripping/ topping gives better liquid efficiency.

Does your carts lasts for the equivalent of 20 cigarettes like we're all so familiar with?:p
 
I normally place about 3-4 drops in an empty cart and 1 drop on the atomizer.

Again we have to factor in many things... Usage, Nicotine strength and type of E-cig. I currently use a 901 and probally take about 10-20 puffs a day on it usage Low nicotine strength.. That doesn't mean someone with High level should be less then me, everyone vapes differently. If you are strictly using this as much, if not more then when you smoked analogs then i can understand for the higher monthly cost.. But for myself i used this to quit smoking analogs and still enjoy the effect of blowing "smoke". Some people like it more for the nicotine, some for the vapor, and some for the style.
