E cigarettes, a mini review.

Just a quick post with a money saving tip. If you smoke and are thinking of trying the CleverSmoke e cigarette that is being advertised on TV in Australia. Google search 'e cigarettes' first. I am struggling to give up and ordered this product. I found that the battery didn't last as long as it stated, as well the cartridges lasted half as long as the 300 puffs they claimed. The flavours bar the tobacco, were disgusting to me. You have the initial cost of $150, as well as the ongoing cost of every 5 cartridges at $30.

After a quick web search, I found many similar products, with replacement cartridges and the option of refillable cartridges, all at a much better price, After reading many reviews, it seems well known in this "community" that this product is a sham and that there are far superior products out there at a far lower price. 

I got it on a free trial, so I am sending it back. I found it helpful as an aid to quit smoking, so I will be doing a little more research and trying one of these other products soon.

I urge anyone who wants to try this to do their research first, it may save you a lot of money.

UPDATE: 

I started the return process, which involved sending the company an email and asking for a return number. The day after I sent the email I got a phone call from the company. They asked me why I wanted to return it and I explained that I had researched the e cigs and found many priced much cheaper etc. He then asked me how much I had seen them for, and I told him around $50. He then said the best he can do is half price! (Keep this in mind anyone who actually wants to buy this product). I told him I still didn't want it as the ongoing cost is too much. Well, he kept trying to explain to me why this was such a good deal, actually implying that I couldn't add up. I asked him politely to give me the number at least 3 times, and that I had got it on a free TRIAL, and I had tried it and didn't want it. He kept trying, I got angry, then he got angry! and said he would terminate the call. I explained again that it was quite simple, give me the number and stop trying to give me "advice" about what products I should buy. He ended up spitting the terms of return at me in the most nasty voice. I got my number, smiled and told him to have a fabulous day. lol
Extremely rude, pushy and most unprofessional.
Anyone who can recommend a good e cigarette, please comment.
