And the cost.
Cheaper than regular cigarettes, although you do need to buy the starter kit (I'll list below what that includes), but still overall cheaper than real smokes.
shewolf, I don't know what you mean when you say you can get everything for $20. What are you getting for that exactly?
Anyway, where I'm buying from is Pro Smoke.
The BASIC starter kit is $60. For that you get:
2 lithium batteries
1 atomizer (what makes the "smoke")
1 wall charger
1 USP charger
1 Pack of flavor cartridges (where the nicotine is) the pack includes 5 cartridges.
1 cigarette box
The SUPER starter kit is $95.
That includes all the above, expect you get to pick 4 packs of flavor cartridges (16 in total), so you can experiment with different flavors.
Also included is a carrying case. I have no idea what the difference between the carrying case and cigarette box is.
Wally just carries it in his shirt or vest pocket.
The DELUXE is is the above, but instead you get a case that can charge your cigarette while you are "on the go"
ok, IMO, the charging case, cigarette case is BS.
What you really end up needing to start out is:
Battery - $13
Atomizer - $13
Wall/USB charger - $13
Flavor cartidge - $9 per pack (5 in each)
So like a total of $50.
I read that EACH of those 5 is supposed to be like an entire pack of smokes, but I don't know about that. I'm guessing the 5 of them are more like 2 or 2.5 packs, realistically. So like a $4.50 pack of smokes.
You're going to want to get a spare battery so one is charging and you're using the other during the day and a spare atomizer. You can rinse out the atomizer, and you should if you're using different flavors. They should last a long time, but you'll need a spare for when it finally goes out.
The flavor cartridges come in
28 mg
25 mg
18 mg
9 mg
0 mg (just for flavor, no nicotine)
Yeah, there's shipping, but it's not much. On the initial order you get a $10 rebate, if you want it credited to you paypal account. When I placed the 2nd order, I found a coupon code for 10% off, which basically paid for shipping.
If I had to go back and start again, I'd just go a la carte and spend the $50 to get started, but order a few different flavors at $9 a pop to see what what the best flavor.
