I didn't know that practice was so common. And I tried to fix my computer when I noticed that my submitted reviews weren't visible on their website, silly me. Yes, V2Cigs are ok, they have good pencil-style batteries, pretty good juices, but indeed: the prices are high up there, one has to buy stuff regularly to get a battery replacement (advertised as warranty for a lifetime, but in reality it's only up to 5 replacement, another deceitful practice), and they exist only for the big money for sure--they got together with Zig-Zag recently and now sell their vaping products as well. Maybe it's time for me to say goodbye to V2C. There are many good smaller, family businesses, like High Desert Vapes, which has fantastic juices at great prices an 40%-50% off sales quite often. I've used them many times. Thank you to your all for the discussion!
