Vaporfi rip-off...

[djsvapour]

Vaporfi used to use Kanger products so Kanger coils. Nearly everything from 2013-2015 was Kanger with very tasteful green o-rings in the sub-ohm tanks. That's not sarcasm by the way.
Then they went over to quite a lot of Eleaf tanks.
I notice a lot of the current models are Innokin.

Other than that, I'd need to see one for real. They are rare in the UK, like Unicorns and other mythical creatures.

I've never ordered from them, no particular reason why just never have.

I will say though, if a company/person, sends what is purchased just as seen/described in a timely fashion, that's doing their job. Now if they are over priced and such, well that's on the consumer for not researching before buying and that applies to any company in any industry.

Many places carry products relabeled/badged for them or custom colored for them from juice to mods, that's normal. Now as far as coils being expensive, I agree with that but that's all of them. I don't want to pay that price so I buy rebuildables. Sometimes you just have to prioritize convenience or cost.

I get you're not happy with them but I can't say they ripped you off. I'd suggest when looking for things, use off site reviews and not the ones on YT or the like. Come here and ask average people that spend money on things and don't have things sent to them for free to try.

Not saying there aren't honest reviewers out there or that we as a group here are any better to tell you what will work for you. Most of us here just have no skin in the game and you'll get many opinions and sides to look at of a product.

Yes, you are right in many ways... but when certain players in the industry are using multiple tactics to convince people their products are superior for more money but they actually exist in other forms for less money, then there is a level of duping going on.

People don't know enough about e-cigs when they are new to it all.

I bought a 'medium-big ticket' product with a top brand name on the front that was made by one of the lowest price producers in that industry. It was $300 for a $129 product. I call that being ripped off. I found a way to get my money back. The same (to me) as if you pay $179 for a $20 mod. Kanger/Innokin etc. are supplying to right at the bottom of the food chain and also provide more middle ranging products.

Anyone who knowingly takes these products and weaves magic to make profits is not welcome in this community. Sure it goes on across the board, but e-cigs aren't just a consumer product (like a fruit-type mobile phone company) they are more than that. For some people they are trapped in a web of a bad habit that e-cigs should be an answer to. That makes the whole discussion much more real and passionate.
