New to the E-cig? Be careful. Here are a few to stay away from.

If you’ve been scammed, let us know at http://www.e-smokers-forum.com

“Free Trial” Should be your first indication. Anything “Free” is not Free.

Starter Kits range approximately from $20.00 to $50.00 on average.






We determine a Scam by the following things;

• False Health Claims (No scientific proof of being healthy)
• Stating they can be used anywhere. (They can't)
• Outragiously high prices.
• False information.
• Extra fees in small print.
• Claims of acceptance by the FDA.
• Claims of being harmless. (Not proven yet)

Do your research. The Forum is full of friendly and helpful people. If you’re not sure, ASK!!! This is a list of some common scammers. There are many more.

Glad I got lucky and found Awesome Vapor and ElectroNicStix when I started ,looks like a lot of predators lurking on the web.When you are just thinking about starting it is overwhelming trying to pick which one to start with.Price and all inclusiveness is one of the things that noobies are looking for ,I hated the thought of paying $60.00 for a kit and not having everything I needed when it finally arrived.Arno had a neat little tutorial that helped a lot.

It's just a shame that most new users run into the scammers before they find the forum.

I never heard of forums before I started this ,I just googled electronic ciggs,and I had never met anyone who vaped .Sadly paid advertisers get preferential treatment on most search engines that people use.

It is true that ads placed with google, called google adwords do get better placement in search results.

Unfortunately google no longer allows advertizing electronic cigarettes in google adwords.

Nothing wrong with EastMall. HeavensGifts and HeathCabin are two other reputable Chinese suppliers as is BestEcig. BestEcig's products tend to be their own clone products though, but in this case much is known about them and folks are happy with their products and excellent support.

I purchased my bundle kit from Aquavapor.....any bad reviews on this site? I was wondering if I should change distributors?

[Jim Davis]

I checked them out. $50.00 for a 4081 starter kit is a bit on the high side. It's not a terrible price, but there are cheaper kits out there.

TRUEMAN ECIG Passthrough Pcc DSE905 MOD VG Liquid adapter RN4081 M401 510 DSE801C DSE901C DSE084 DSE901 DSE801 DSE103 - sells them for $27.00, but you have to make a bulk order to make the postage charges pay off.

I got the bundle....I think I got more acessories than just the starter kit...I don't know...I got the PCC with the bundle....it is what it is. Next time I will have to shop around! And ask more questions before purchasing!
