What Brands Of Soft Cartridges are out?

[softedge]

Hello all,
Just enjoying my softsmokes S2 wondering if there are other retailers of soft cartomizers out there that will fit this e-cig or if there are completely different brands that I can try interchangable or not? Look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance

Hello softedge,
I think most of us here probably have never heard of the softsmoke S2. I googled it and found that a company called softsmokes.com is selling this what appears to be a cartomizer kit for a whopping $149.99.
And they don't even show a picture of their e-cig, just a picture of a box that to me looks like a box of tissues.
Funny, that business name sounds like your username.

Jeeze, I hate to tell ya, but if you paid that much, you got ripped off. Just chalk it up as a learning experience, and shop around, you will find there are many reputable suppliers selling name brand e-cigs for 1/3 that price or less.
I see they are even trying to sell a box of cartomizers for $15.00

The going price for a box of 5 prefilled cartomizers elswhere is around $8.95

My advice to all is to stay away from companies like this one who is charging way too much for their e-cigs.
For $150. all you are getting is two batteries a pack of cartomizers.
and a USB charger. Oh yes, I almost forgot you also get a manual. LOL.


Sorry softedge,
The two things I hate the most are spammers and scammers.
Maybe you can return it and get your money back.

I see that after only about ten minutes after I posted about the high prices, they dropped their price to a mere $99 per kit. At first the only way to see how much the kit cost was to put it in the shopping cart. Now I see they added the price under the picture of the tissue box.

I wonder if the owner of that site was reading ESF when I first replied?

Still their prices are way too high.

I think you will see more of this as people try to get in on the increasining popularity of vaping.If you have never set up a business these companies have a business model that appears to be a good deal for the unitiated ,and only after they make the original purchase they find out that they cannot sell them for $150.00.Royal you and other forums have made information available to avoid the scams but still people will get burned.

Yes, sadly you are correct Mike.
With the internet these days, information on just about any subject you can think of is at our fingertips. Ideally you would think that any potential shopper would do a little research before investing in a product, especially if it is product they have never heard of or used before. And in today's economy, I'd expect, or at least hope, people are a little more cost conscious, than to jump in to a purchase without first doing some comparison shopping.

I shop around for the best deal on anything I buy.

I noticed the quick price reduction too. But even at a hundred bucks, I suggest folks take their $100 and buy 10 of the 510 kits from madvapes.
