Mall Cigs A Scam?

[rkb]

before i went and ordered my vapornine nebeula i tooka trip to the orangepark mall because i always saw thie smokefreeflorida kiosk with ecigs looked like 510s or 808s. i asked the guy selling them, who was my friend i hadnt seen for quite some years coincedentally, and he shook

his head as he told me the price. cheapest kit was $105 with two bats a 5 pack of carts and charger! how can they possibly justify this, i feel like they are only taking advantage of the uninformed

[twelveday]

yeah thats basically what theyre doing, like almost everything out there.

Nice plug, those batteries are way overpriced for what they are as well though.

GreenNicotine's Starter Pack Includes:

- 1 Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery

- USB Charger

- 2 Refill Cartridges (Equals 5pks of Traditional Tobacco)"

$59.99

Testimonials from a bunch of users know that 1 cartridge comes nowhere close to one pack of cigarettes, and that everything that comes in that starter pack adds up to nowhere near $59.99.

Almost every 'kiosk' style E-Cigarette sellers and E-Mail sellers I've ran into or read about are just scams with huge markup (300%+) for low quality devices.

Being knowledgable is one thing, but ripping people off is another.

yeah but doing some research online first doesn't hurt. Have you seen the prices on that green nicotine? 40 bucks for a stick stle battery? 50 for a pcc? That place is a joke and is insanely priced. Bro if you're looking for a decent starter kit that won't bend you over first let us know and wed be happy to point you in the right direction but that green nicotine stuff is insanely expensive. They're a rip off.

wow, they charge $14.95 for 2 refill catridges.

but don't worry guys if you buy the a 10 pack you only pay $39.95 (4$ each cartridge)

... but theres more!

a 50 pack of cartridge refills is only $249.00 $189.95 (New sale price)! ($3.80 each cartridge)

(for those out there who don't get the scam part, why would they charge $249 in the first place, that comes out to 5$ a cartridge which is more expensive than just buying 5 orders of their 10pack.)

They use every trick in the book to make you think you're getting a deal lol.

Sorry if the thread doesn't make much sense from post #3 on. I banned the spammer that twelve & blu were responding to.

I bought my first e-cig from a smoke free kiosk. Walked by and the salesman was puffing away...INSIDE the mall! I bought a pink battery/charger and a box of 5 pre-filled cartomizers ($15) for the price of $105.00....when I later went to their website and saw they were selling ONE ATOMIZER for $55 I was totally p.o'd. In my research I found ECF and learned more then ordered a KGO

[MadKat]

I was REALLY wanting to quit smoking and it was a total impulse buy....BUT it introduced me to the vaping life so it was worth it. Smoke Free offers a lifetime guarantee so I guess I'll always have it for backup

[MadKat]

OH!!! And $30 for 15ml of juice. LOL! Wow

I just find that terribly hard to believe... even at the mall kiosks ! Hell, I thought my HH 357's where a bit on the pricey side.... but $55 ?!? That's just crazy yo !

While they are not a very good deal ,they do however give a person a chance to try it out and usually when a person decides they like it they start looking for a better deal and hopefully they find us and we set them on the right path.Some of the ones sold in Piggly Wiggly type stores are not as bad as the mall kiosks.The rent in malls is through the roof and by the time you charge a little for your time I can see why they charge so much.
