tobacco store e-cig scams and lies

[burnsb]

So, my wife purchased the njoy Ncig and we both like it. However, the tobacco store prices for 5 pre-filled carts was $15 at one and $13 at another.

At the first store I asked if they sold the liquid and the lady there said that "Nobody likes it." She had a really funny look on her face like "Oh crap, they figured it out."

At the second store in another town I was told that the liquid didn't work with the njoy stuff (all either store sold). The guy there said that the carts could not be refilled and the liquid would tear up the atomizer.

Both these stores sold the Ncig, which is just a rebranded RN4072, at $70 bucks for a kit, that has to be the worlds most expensive silkscreening.

Do they not think I've heard of the Interweb? They could probably make more money on volume if they sold cheaper unbranded stuff and the liquid. This kind of thing really gives e-cigs a bad name.

My liquid and spare atomizer/batteries should be arriving tomorrow. But I guess I'm not going to like it and it's going to tear up, even though I can't refill them.

That's pretty sad. They are making too much money selling the carts, then will lie to you so they can keep taking your money, just my opinion.

Why cant the carts be refilled?

Because he can't sell as many if you refill them.

If Big Tobacco gets hold of this and are the only ones allowed to make PVs 'legally' this will be our future.
Just sayin.

I've got a buddy at school that I'm trying to get interested in this. He and his wife are smokers.

He's also a organic chem major and has already expressed interest in kitchen pure nicotine extraction. I'm a machinist working on a BSME. Between the two of us, we'll figure out DIY from start to finish. Screw BT. They can make it harder but they can't stop it. The genie is already out of the bottle.
