E-cig Scams and How To Avoid Them

It's unfortunate but inevitable that in any given business there will be those who take advantage of customers who have little knowledge of what it is they are interested in purchasing.

So it is with E-Cigs, there are reputable sources for quality products, and there are some not-so-reputable sources online. Today I'll focus on just a couple of points that will help you to avoid becoming one more victim of an online scam.

If you encounter either of these sets of circumstances, I would strongly suggest you run for the hills:

1) Limited time offer, act TODAY for this special deal!!

A reputable source for quality vaping products, such as the advanced model 510, or the E-go, doesn't need you to make up your mind on the spot to get and keep your business. A source like Smoke-Light.com for example, wants you to check out all their hardware, so you make an informed decision before you buy. That's why you see reviews, tips etc on this blog to keep you informed.

The worn-out tactic of rushing the buyer just shouldn't cut it anymore, but believe it or not, many people still fall for these tactics. The 'buy as you go' type programs that lock you in to a large investment are a good example of what to avoid.

2) 'Free' trial deals.

Hate to break this to you guys and gals, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Not with cars, not with computers, not with cell phones--and not with E-cigs.

A quality E-cigarette is not a throw away piece of junk. It is a high tech, well made device that emulates smoking cigarettes without a lot of the hassles of smoking. Like second hand smoke, or ashes for example.

When you buy a quality 'starter kit' you should expect to find the following: At least one each of a battery and an atomizer. Most of the most popular kits today, like the 510 and the E-go, supply two batteries, and one atomizer, although some kits provide two of each.

You should expect a charger for your device, some are wall chargers, some are car chargers, and some are hybrids that use a combination of USB connector with a wall charger. Most starter kits also include an owners manual, so you get familiar with the few parts easily.

Most starter kits come with a box of cartridges, either filled or empty. Either way,  I strongly recommend you order at least a few extra boxes of cartridges, or cartomizers (combined disposable cartridge/atomizer), so you don't run out. It's also a very good idea to order a couple of bottles of different flavors of e-liquids, as you'll need to keep some on hand.

When you're ready to plunk down some change for your very own E-cigarette, be sure to take a look at our store Smoke-Light.com and check out the starter kits mentioned above--you'll be assured of a quality electronic cigarette, with no hidden fees, and no games.

War on e-Cigs

Hi again readers, it's Lenny back with some news--this time about the war on e-cigs being waged, strangely enough, by the American Lung Association as well as the regular crowd of "we hate anything that even looks or sounds like a cigarette" and the tobacco companies and big pharmaceuticals, who stand to lose money because thousands of people are now vaping instead of smoking.

Never mind that there is plenty of information out there, some of which we have covered in this blog, that very strongly suggests that e-cigs represent a huge opportunity to lessen to a very large degree, if not to completely eliminate, the dangers of tobacco smoke. There simply is no comparison between the two.

I came across a super website today, Check it out HERE that does a great job of reporting all news related to the attempted banning of e-cigarettes, or at the very least, different interests trying to make e-cigs out to be an evil, wicked thing, equivalent to burning tobacco, which we all know is not true.

The thousands of people who are fans of the little electronic marvels beg to differ. I know, I'm one of them. But the site I linked to is really important to all of us, because it points you to information about how to fight back against the interests that want to ban our e-cigs. (I'm sure the big pharmaceutical companies that make NRT (nicotine replacement therapy patches, gum etc) and the tobacco industry sure wants to see them banned, after all, they are cutting into their profits.

I hope all my readers check the site out, and take some action before our rights to use e-cigs are taken away.

The thousands of chemicals (including at least 46 known carcinogens) that are found in cigarette smoke are not found in e-cig emissions, during rigorous testing by the FDA (and other researchers) which after a court decision has itself failed to ban e-cigs, and which now treats e-cigs the same way as they treat cigarettes, meaning they no longer ban entry of the devices into the US. This is a huge win for the e-cig business and customers who want access to them.

In some states, CA included, where Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed a ban on e-cigs, reason prevails, but many people are also being manipulated into thinking e-cigs are as bad as smoking cigarettes, and that's a shame.

I sincerely hope you take a look at that site I linked to, and let your legislators know where you stand on the issue of e-cigs. I would think our government, particularly during the current climate of economic malaise, would have better things to do than try to outlaw a product that could actually help smokers health to be less at risk, while doing away with second hand smoke.

Thanks for reading, this is Lenny the e-cig guy, signing off!
