I HATE these type of vendors. One of my co-workers was considering a product from another one of these scam types (not this particular one, it's amazing how many of these types of vendors exist) and I tried like hell to talk him out of it . . . after his experience he's been totally put off of e-cigs and won't even try my devices, I've offered to loan him stuff to play with a few times. He paid $250 for your typical $20 rn4081 kit with one battery and two cartomizers, all because their marketing was more convincing to him than the vendors I tried to send him to :facepalm:

Quite frankly, this level of greed ought to be considered fraud and criminally punishable IMHO :2c:

If this IS a money laundrying setup... they're not going to care about what people have to say in emails and reviews. It's got to be something like that. Anyone with enough brains to pick up a lighter and light a cigarette can do a search and find that the prices are marked up something like 1000%.

True, but not everybody will have complete success in that respect. When I first started vaping, the "cheaper" vendors that I found were still 100% markup over the going rate (needless to say they have not had any of my business since I found ECF, even though one of them is a registered supplier here and has, over time, dropped their prices to more normal levels). Granted, the market is much more lively nowadays and there are so many more vendors to choose from that will turn up on searches than there were back then

Yeah, I came straight away when I saw ;-) There are only a few things vaping-related that really grind my gears and this is one of them. I'm being good, though, if I'd seen this earlier in the week when I was already stressed and ticked off by work I'd have opened up a can of epic rant in here. I've been burned, myself, by ripoff artists back when I first started. Not nearly this bad, though (my first kit like the ones they sell was $80 and while it did open the door to the vaping world for me I still wasn't happy about it once I learned I'd been ripped off) :p

Those $50 10 ml bottles of e-liquid are probably made from extracted angel tears, hence the premium cost. lol. 100% angel tear based smoke juices create the most "heavenly" vapes! I SLAY ME!! :D

And there on sale woohoo regular 79.99 what a steal :p

A local tobacco shop to me carries their ejuice but for $15 per 10ml, I actually bought some as I was waiting for an online order of juice to show up, the almond and apple I thought were very good, but even so I felt I was paying too much and only bought out of desperation.

But I had looked at the site before and was appalled at the pricing.
Obviously there is some kind of wholesale pricing available otherwise my local shop was going in the hole selling their juice.

There are two vape shops in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I was visiting a friend there. One has Huckleberry juice, which I wanted to try. I went in and bought a couple of bottles of juice, but they were $15 for 10mls. Um. Not going to buy from there again. He tried to sell me a mini ego for $50. I told him I would pay like $15 for it online or in a local B&M shop here and I thought he was overcharging. His kits were over $100. I was so disappointed.

The other shop - Vapor Outlet - was amazing. Their juices were affordable and the guys in there were MUCH nicer. The other guy was kind of a know-it-all jerk. Anyway. If you're ever in CDA, stop by Vapor Outlet (across from Costco). Great folks! Their Orange Creme was delightful and their PB Cookie was amazeballs. I'll be giving them an online order when their site comes up too :)

ANYWAY, that's going off topic, but I wanted to give a shout out to the good guys in CDA because the other one was ridiculous.
