These things just don't work.

You got us, 20aDay, you got us. Give it up guys, we're busted. Yes, 20, we are all suppliers. There are hundreds of us, and we gots product to mooooove! RIght now the supplier to e-cig user ratio WORLDWIDE is 20 suppliers per customer! Can you blame us for being desperate enough to make up a fake forum and spend all day making fake discussions about how much we fake love our fake e-cigs?!?! Please forgive us, and do not hate us. You are just too smart for us. :oops:

di 20 a day is the one who started this post. YES Lucis, they have all the same products as the suppliers we get here have, but you are missing the fact that the suppliers that cost more have more quality control and have already sorted through the stuff they are getting from centraltrade.eu and don't send to customers the junk! Jane of ecigsales says a tremendous amount of product she gets from china she has to resend back cause it don't work. When you went and bought bulk, you got rid of the middleman who did the quality control.

Some may further test the products, however others like Janty for instance, their Yentl costs a fortune and out of 5 batteries they sent me, 1 works!

The other 4 were not functioning correctly on arrival. 2 were DOA, 1 cuts off in half a second draw and the 4th just doesnt pass any power to the atomizer :mad:

Quality control? Please...

20aday, we spend a lot of our time on the forum troubleshooting and sorting hardware problems. How could anyone think these products are without fault after reading some of this forum? EVERY single device has had reported faults, even the most expensive ones.

If you want it to work it can, if you don't want to make an effort then wait for technology to improve.

These things are frequently mis-sold to uninformed customers who are looking for a replacement for tobacco. Many sellers imply that hardware is durable and the main costs after initial purchase are reduced to cartridges or juice (which are also often described as lasting longer than they really do). Luckily many suppliers here have better ethics and do not misrepresent their products. Where did you buy yours from?

All this information is on the forum, there is no point in attacking us when you haven't researched for yourself or have gone to a dodgy seller anyway.

Are you really holding us responsible for your failure or are you trying to be controversial?

For most of us these devices obviously do work, at least to a reasonable level of satisfaction. Many of us have even used them to quit smoking.

I hope you get your 'faulty' parts replaced or your money back or learn how to use it properly.

Most of them are sold as replacement for regular run of the mill tailor made cigarettes.

The reality is that they are more akin to rollies, but where you have to rub two sticks together to get it alight. And midway through, your the papers or the tobacco inexplicably disintegrate. And you can only get about 30% of the tobacco out of the pouch anyway.

For me, the screwdriver has done away with the rubbing two sticks together, but you do still need to be constantly filling up the cartridge. And the atomizer still dies when it feels like it.

I cannot find a single post mentioning how inconsistent and temperamental this technology actually is.

The e-cig is a truly great idea but the technology isn't quite there yet for this to be a true alternative to cigarettes.

???? I've used these things -- cigs, cigars, pipes -- since last January and reported honestly that THEY ARE NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME. Trog is another veteran user who has said the same. Folks, we are guinea pigs. The devices are betas. No retailer wants the hassle of failed atomizers, dry carts, etc.

I have recommended exactly one device to my chain tobacco shop owner -- the Ruyan Vegas. Everything else will cause him too much hassle from upset customers returning crappy product pieces. This market is suited to the eBay underground serving it.

BUT .. acknowledge this 20aDay .. the e-smoking devices are the single best alternative to continued cigarette smoking. They are worth the learning curve, the fussing with them, the spilled liquid, stabbed fingers from syringes, occasional wimpy vapor, etc. And improvements are being made monthly. The next generation is set to come to market just before Christmas. This technology has the promise to be tomorrow's smoking method.

We are not a bunch of sellers. Enthusiasts? Yes. Early adoptors? Got that right. And many new e-smokers wear rose-colored glasses, or, as Trog says, are "happy bunnies." I'm not a happy bunny. I wear dark glasses. I want tomorrow's devices today.

Your first quote above is not true. But I think your second one is. If you read around more here, you'll find negative mixed with positive. Keep trying e-smoking and watch developments. This generation of devices is not the end of development; only the beginning.

20 - you are definitely one of the most rude people I've seen around here. You posted a while back with issues and several of us replied to you with questions so that we could help you out. You never replied to any of those posts. You do nothing more than hit-and-run posts then whine when things don't work for you. If you have decided that these aren't for you then please, by all means, return your products, get a refund and go back to your analogs while refraining from posting here in, what I can only assume, is an attempt to undermine all of us who have had success with this product. Perhaps there's a little green tinge of jealousy because you aren't quite bright enough to figure these out or to ask for and accept help when you need it? Don't come in here bashing those of us who are very happy with these products despite their flaws and accusing us of dishonesty. From what I have seen just about every person who frequents this board is totally honest about their experiences with e-cigs. We all openly discuss our concerns, frustrations, etc. with one another here in an effort to get a better product. No one has represented these devices on this site as being perfect and without flaws so your statement that you have found no comments on the inconsistencies of them on this forum are either a lie (in which case you are the dishonest one) or proof that you have not read through the forum even a little because the complaints are hard to miss (in which case you are simply lazy and these are definitely not for you). Regardless of the situation, while we welcome your complaints, concerns, suggestions, comments and experience, I think I speak for everyone on this forum in saying that we do not welcome your accusatory attitude or your disgusting rudeness. Have a nice day and I do hope that whatever bug is up your rear removes itself soon so that you are more able to enjoy life.

GIve it up Mommy, he's twigged to us!

I confess, it is all a con, a scam, a grift. My videos? Fake. Special FX. Smoke and mirrors, literally.

There's a little green man sitting behind my chair. That's why it's so wide and high backed. No, not Trog. Maybe a cousin. He has a big houkah, and he makes all the smoke for me, since my e-cigs really just don't work. We use mirrors to make it look like it's coming from my mouth. It's a trade secret. I can't say anything more about that part.

In fact, I've said too much already.

Exscuse me.

The point of this topic is a rant. A short fuse individual who refuses to learn is as common as a fanboy. Feeding his flame request only inspires him to rant more.

Simply offering to help and having him accept the help should have been the end of this topic. As e-cigs reach the masses more and more ranters and fanboys will frequent the forums. Some will come here only to discredit the product because they have a motive. Others will come to become part of the revolution that is coming.

Dammit Leaf! You weren't supposed to come clean! We were all working so hard to try and keep this covered up and you just went and blew it for all of us! :cool:

tell u one thing guys.. having just read a new-ish supplier telling a newbie he/she can expect a fully charged battery to last one or two days i have to agree with the thread starter..

pure bullsh-t.. plain and simple.. seller spam.. u carry the prominent link to your site at the bottom of each post..

u be a nice guy.. spend time in the newbie forum.. welcome them all to the happy bunny club.. make as many (seemingly helpful) posts as u can and make the product u sell out to be better than it is..

and as long as the bunnies rip the throat out of any poor sod that dares to suggest this is going on the practice will increase..

i have just witnessed an instance of it.. clever spam and more clever spam..

call it a reward for doling out advice and e smoking information to newbies.. but at least it should be valid information.. not pure sales hype to encourage newbies into e smoking..

the thread starter does have a valid point.. the bunnies just dont want to see it..

now i know that telling a potential initiate that a fully charged battery should last one or two days is a crock of sh-t but it shouldnt be my bloody place to say so...
