A truly amazing product.

If you're a smoker, and you've noticed that society treats you like a leper, then you have come to the right place. E-cigarettes in general are a great idea, and with the recent advances in lithium battery technology, the age of "Nico-Vaping" has finally arrived. I was walking on the sidewalk yesterday, in a big city, and a woman passed me, going in the opposite direction. I was smoking a traditional cigarette. I actually noticed her glance at me, and then, as she drew nearer, she covered her mouth and nose with her hand as she passed by. I wanted to laugh, but it was actually almost sad. I can't even imagine living in such fear.
Well, those days are over. The e-cigarette will allow anyone who enjoys the use of nicotine to do so openly, indoors, in public, any time, anywhere, period. All while you continue to enjoy the taste and sensation of "smoking".

Personally, I enjoy the shock value. It floats my boat to see some self-important loser who thinks I'm "smoking" get all flustered when they discover that I'm not actually smoking at all, but simply enjoying a new and innovative way to feed my own personal beast. I have already had several peeps at my office insinuate that they've heard so and so about e-smokes, and you can tell that they're upset because I "beat their system". Asking if they're FDA approved etc...
Sure, it may not be the most noble cause for e-smoking, but it works for me; and I suspect that I may have purchased my last tobbacco products.

I first bought a "super-mini", from some place called KnightSticks... It was a hellish experience. First, the tobbacco flavor was closer to dogshit than to tobbacco. Also, the product arrived packaged as "Phoenix Electronic Cigarette", no mention of KnightSticks anywhere.
After 6 days of my 10-day "trial", I called them, "Best Brands" was how they answered. I indicated that my intention was to cancel my order. The girl absolutely begged me not to cancel, assuring me that they are a reputable company, despite the naming irregularities. She changed the terms of my "contract", and the pricing of my super-mini to reflect roughly 25% of what I had originally intended to spend. Not bad. However, I asked her to send me an e-mail detailing the "new deal", and she did, but the e-mail simply indicated that my order was cancelled. The next day, I called back and requested the status of my account. I was told it is cancelled. I asked if they had any record of the "new deal", and apparently, the notes WERE in the system. Still, as I did not receive any confirmation in the e-mail, I advised them that I wanted to go ahead and cancel the entire fiasco. After two different "managers" tried to bully me by telling me that I had verbally agreed to the new deal so they had already gone ahead and billed me. I just about had a fit, as I already knew that they had not... Billed me I mean. I made sure that they were aware that I would be watching my bill closely, and will file a complaint if I see any charges from them. Fortunately, I have not seen any activity. I started to send them back their inferior product, but my thick-headed rebellious nature forced me to simply toss it into the trash. I've never heard from them again. They did tell me, in that last communication, that if I cancel, they would "freeze" my account, and I would never be able to buy cartridges for their product"
AWESOME... Somehow, I doubt I'll be needing cartridges for the device that now resides in my local landfill. "KnightSticks"... HMMMMMM... I think NightMARE is more like it. Good riddance is what I say.

***Now, enter Smoker's WiseChoice...***

I still wanted to give e-smokes a fair shot, so I began looking again. I decided to give Smoker's WiseChoice a call, as they actually had some contact information included, quite visibly, on their website. The gentleman who answered, Bill, was more than helpful, and we talked at length about his products, and the future of e-smoking in general. I liked him, and decided to try the product he reccommended, the Elite.
I placed my order, and was allowed to pay via Credit Card (HOOOOORAAAAAYYYY!). He had the two Elite kits, and some menthol e-juice, in the mail the next morning, and I had them in my hands within three business days. So far, so good.
The kits arrived extremely well packaged, in visually appealing boxes, with plenty of detailed instructions and other literature included, even a unique serial number if I'm not mistaken... Bill was more than a pleasure to deal with.
I was pretty sure that I was in for the same basic dogshit taste, but I knew that I would acclimate if the nicotine was actually delivered. Realistically, tobbacco tastes kind of dogshitty too, but I learned to love it. To my surprise, it tased just GREAT!
At this time, honestly, I'd rather hit my Elite, than fire up a smoke. I still fire them up, but have reduced my tobbacco consumption by nearly 50%.


In fact, I'm here today to order some more product. I let a friend demo my Elite, and he asked me to order him one immediately. Well, I already had a spare, so I sold it to him on the spot. that was two days ago, and he hasn't had a traditional smoke since. We are both thrilled with the Elite. I'm buying at least a couple more, right now, as I'm sure more friends will be amazed by the flavor, and the "smoking" sensation the vapor delovers, and will want one as well.
I'll be getting more e-juice also, as it appears that this particular model uses cartridges that are quite easily refilled. I believe I recall Bill telling me too, that the cartridges can be purchased empty, so peeps who want to try developing their own e-juice will have a way to do just that.

Thanks, Bill.
I couldn't be happier.
