Does no one else get the connection between white rhino and the synthetic urine? Their website sells synthetic urine, rolling papers, has a category called "detox", and sells a device used to vaporize "dry herbs and heavy oils". Connect the dots.

Yes, it's a company that no Vaper needs to associate with. No Ifs, Ands or Buts about it. They are trying to cash in on E-Cigarette market and ripping those that fall for their site, off.

I guess when you put it like this, then yeah, it's better. But to find a better product that doesn't charge your card an outrageous fortune on a monthly basis would be better, think of all the people that are going to feel ripped off when they discover they don't have to pay $60 a month to support their ecig habit? If your wife is using one of these, why not buy her an eRoll or a 510 or any of the ones online that don't charge your card every month?


Maybe its a govt product designed to turn people of e-cigs,i wouldnt put it pass them.

I was very bugged seeing an e-cig kiosk in the Luxor Casino in Vegas. It was a run of the mill 510 look-a-like that they were peddling for $99/kit or something like that.

Worry that people will try those, go 'the hell is the point of this?' and walk away from them with a bad taste in their mouth and their wallets significantly lighter than if they had known about all the available gear & deals online.

I did however log the location in my brain in case I needed some juice in a pinch. But I didn't even dare ask how much.

Yes but they can't tell anyone,

Why must WE prevent STUPID PEOPLE from doing STUPID THINGS?

Just sayin'...

Looking through :spam: folder today and found about 4,000 of these:

And the small print on their website:

Offer Terms: By clicking confirm my order, you agree to be enrolled in the 14 day trial offer for $4.95 which is the cost of shipping, and after the trial expires, you agree that your card will be charged $110 for the Starter Kit. Your refill cartridges will recur at $60 plus $10 for shipping and handling every month from the time of initial purchase until you cancel.

We must prevent these companies from ripping people off!

Honestly as much as we worry about protecting the public, do people really just impulse buy something like this? Especially on the internet, I won't buy anything until I have at least googled it a few times to look for the telltale fraud discussions on forums. Its a horrible practice for sure, but the only reason it works is that people don't take the five minutes to be an informed consumer.

Those kiosk scammers take advantage of the impulse buyers. Nobody that has done any research would buy from them.
