As mentioned freebs won't go away completely but we need to be real careful with them..
We have a customer base that buys project related parts for non e-cig use as well as law enforcement and fire departments that buy li-ion batteries and chargers.. Sometimes you assume that if someone is ordering 510 battery connectors, boxes and other parts that they are building an e-cig type box. But apparently not. So our e-cig related freebies don't go over too well all the time..
My recent favorite was the customer that got two adapters (1 purchased and 1 freeb).. Since they got a free one, they wanted to return the one that was purchased since they didn't need it..
We get RMA requests on tester disposable e-cigs, didn't like the free
e-liquid I got, can I get a different kind?.. Your free
e-liquid ruined my atomizer etc.. Things like that.. It's really crazy stuff that you'd never imagine people would do..
