Why are "SUPPORTING SUPPLIERS" of this forum still making absurd claims?

don't worry , you got a good deal. $49 for a 901 starter kit is a pretty good deal. Be sure to grab some extra batteries and atomizers as soon as you can. Speaking from experience atomizers and batteries will die , suddenly and without any warning. You don't want to be out and about with with a suddenly broken device.

They don't seem to make any outrageious claims either , in fact they have a whole section about "WHAT MOST e-SHOPS WONT TELL YOU" where they basically de-bunk some of the half truths and whole lies told by some other vendors.

you made a good decision boss :thumb:

for the record the original claims were based on a puff count.. not a nicotine delivery count.. ignorance and copy and paste has done the rest..

often the sellers do just use copy and paste.. they have no technical knowledge of what they are selling.. but the ethics of permitting blatant untruths on a site which is supposed to help the consumer is debatable..

not a debate i want to get into tho... except to say "buyer beware"... never believe what a salesmans tells you.. he he

if they have batteries for a 901 way over 12 bucks- rip off. Attys for way over 10- rip off. Juice over 15 bucks for 15 ml, ridiculous. I know I am paying for the convenience of not waiting for it to come from overseas- and I know it doesn't have to go thru customs so no worry- so its piece of mind-

I take issue with this part of your post. It is not a "rip off" if someone is charging a higher price than their competitors. It's called free enterprise, and you indicated in your post why someone would be OK with paying the higher price. If they were charging those prices and not sending you your product, then indeed, it would be a "rip off". I believe that consumers need to take responsibility for their decisions. In a free market economy, sellers are free to set their prices and buyers are free to not buy from them if they feel the price is too high. The market sets the price, and obviously enough people are paying for the supplier to continue to charge it. If people are silly enough to buy the first thing they see (how many times do we see that on the newbie forum?) then they are the one's acting irresponsibly, not the supplier.

Fresh, are you a supplier for or affilate of yourlastcig? 3 posts...3 links...could look a bit "spammy".

Supplier sites are not added unless the suppliers are approved by SmokeyJoe.

i fully agree with you Trog... i think people have the right to be stupid , if someone wants to buy ...... from the spam e-mail they get then be my guest... and i suppose if people want to base a purchase on the misinformation that 1 cart is 2 packs of smokes then... i suppose they will just learn the hard way.

and i REALLY agree with this , i truly think the free market could solve a lot of economic problems , none of this price caps for gas nonsense...people will pay what the market demands... wow way off topic

UHHMMM.... Well, this feels a little odd to say but...

I agree with Elendil 100%

No im not. not trying to spam. just saying where i got mine from. just like everyone else who mentions where they order from. for all i know it could be a really good deal for someone else. anyone one else who throws names out on here i check out and see what they have to offer as they may have a better deal.

Well, I can only explain it like this. Most of the suppliers that members mention are registered suppliers here. That's a pretty good indication they are not spamming for an unknown supplier. And...with 3 posts and 3 links, it seems like a bit of overkill....I mean, if you had 10 or 20 other posts of general conversation and posted the link 3 times, that would seem more "proportionate" (for lack of a better term)....wouldn't it?

And sorry, not trying to single you out...but we are having problems with spammers as of late....so I don't think there's any harm in asking straight out rather than going on and trying to guess. So maybe engaging in some conversations without adding the link every time might help alleviate this concern? See what I mean?
