'FREE' Starter Kits ---NOT

[jforsythe]

Been a 50 per day analogger for 34 years. Started vaping all day every day 5 months ago. Still using those analog sticks at the rate of 4 to 5 a day. Big improvement. I feel sooo much better. I'll get rid of the rest of them. It's been much cheaper too.

So far I like prefilled 510 style cartomizers. Use them up, and refill them over and over. Cheaper. Haven't found my perfect juice yet. Looking for a good throat hit and plenty of vapor at a reasonable price. Suggestions?

I've dealt with that on-line 'free' starter kit twice. They're not free. They'll automatically hit your CC monthly and send you overpriced product. They won't take no. If you finally tell them you've had enough, they'll charge you an exorbitant price for that 'free' kit. I ended up cancelling my debit card. The bank was happy to issue a new one that they can't reach.

I recommend for starters to buy your kit at a local kiask,tobacco shop, or some local drug stores. Then go on-line for parts and accessories at a reputible site. Ask questions in this forum, they're quite knowledgable.
I'll stop rambling here..............VAP-ON

i suggest getting your supply's online at/with good vendors. most of which are reviewed here in some way shape or form.

I think it sounds better the second time.

The advantage that I see in making your first purchase locally (like a kiosk) is you'll get a hands-on look at various products and how they might fit you. Also you'll get experienced instructions and explanations. You'll get answers to questions you won't know to ask.
After that I would definetly go on line for replacement parts and supplies. You're likely to find better prices. Good Luck

it works if you have a vendor like Kalamazoo vapor shop or any brick and mortar vendor excluding njoy and SE the few of those i came across had no clue just what there sales pich had.

I had a great experience at a kiosk. The vendor was a vaporer himself. He explained to me all the components of a 3-piece and a 2-piece, manual vs auto batty, lifetime of the components, how to load juice into a cart...etc. He even let me have a few test drags with different flavs.
I still go back to him when I need somthing now, and can't wait for 3-5 days shipping time. However, the help I got from him just may be the exception to the rule.
I now prefer the convenience of online shopping and find better bargains there.
Lordmage is right though. There are a lot of places out there that can't or won't help you make a first time decision. Neither can online sites.
Your best bets just might be to find someone you know that uses e-cigs, and heed the advice of these forum administrators.

If a kiosk has good prices, there's nothing wrong with it. A few years back, it was Smoking Everywhere that basically started the e-cig kiosk business. $12.00 starter kits were being sold for upwards of $150.00. It gave the kiosk trade a bad name.

Sure, we all can expect to pay a bit more for retail convenience, but the price has to be reasonable.

It sounds like you have found a decent retailer. Nothing wrong with supporting him.
