Free Electronic Cigarette | What’s The Catch?
When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, but sometimes it can be a win / win for both the buyer and the seller.
Unless you’re giving money to a homeless person, you’re always going to expect to get something in return, and it’s no different with the Knight “free trial” of an electric cigarette.
Still though, it’s a very fair deal – For a $9.95 shipping and handling fee, this company will give you a free electronic cigarette with one battery, two nicotine cartridges, and a USB charging device, delivered to your door, so you can test it for yourself.
What’s the catch? What do they want from you?
They simply want you to try an electric cigarette, and within 15 days, decide whether or not you want to pay for your refills and if not, cancel. There are no hidden clauses, it’s not deceptive, it’s not hidden in a tiny font, and it’s not difficult to follow the directions and cancel over the phone within under three minutes time. A human answered, and didn’t even put me on hold!
If you don’t cancel by phone within 15 days then you will be charged for (and shipped) a batch of refill cartridges. After that’ you’ll get a monthly restock, until you choose to cancel.
I bought the product myself, and it arrived quickly in my Mailboss mailbox in just two days.
When I first opened the package, I IMMEDIATELY looked for the cancellation number, and I recommend you do the same. Make a note of it, and PHONE THEM IMMEDIATELY, so you can satisfy your own curiosity that you’ll be able to cancel if you were to decide to. Trust me, you’ll sleep better!
If you want all the details, take a look at the short video i put together below, but here’s the salient points…
Advantages:
I like the product a lot, primarily because of the taste and vapor volume, which is what it all comes down to. The cartridge liquid is fresh and smells good when you rip one open, and that’s a big plus. Much of the pleasure many of us get from tobacco comes from the smell even before burning, and these smelled great, and fresher than the average refill cartridge.
The newer technology of the 2-piece ecigs was a nice bonus that surprised me, and is probably the biggest advantage to this one over another trial offer. (see a short video on the difference between the two and three piece electric cigarettes)
Besides having more than the average amount of flavor and vapor, the price too, is another advantage, at least initially. A comparable unit from anyone else is going to be $70 to $90, again, this is because it IS the better technology of the two piece unit.
Cancellation was easy, with my time on-hold initial waiting time after the first ring under 45 seconds. Again, I encourage you to try this for yourself for your peace of mind.
Disadvantages:
It’s not the “micro” size – If you’re after something as small as a regular king cigarette, it’s slightly fatter and longer. I wouldn’t REALLY say that’s a “disadvantage” but it’s something to be aware of. Anything that small, in the mini-micro size, but still in the two piece technology is still well over $100 minimum.
The price for refills is a bit high at first glance. It’s certainly not abusive (like my inkjet printer ink), but it is on the steep side. However, I refill my own nicotine cartridges anyway, so it’s not really an issue for me. Be aware though that in the long run, the money you save with the free trial will be paid back over time.
With only one battery, it lasts fine all day, and I’ve not had a problem remembering to charge it each night, but YOU might! Being out of electricity isn’t like being out of smokes – You can’t bum one or run to the store. Having a single battery makes it more affordable, and isn’t REALLY a disadvantage either, but again, something to be aware of.
Conclusion:
A first time buyer cannot possibly go wrong, even if they buy it and decide they dislike vaping (e-smoking) entirely. For just $9.95, you get a sample to your door within a couple of days, and if you buy it through my link, I can even make a few bucks 
Here’s a short video review I put together that covers what I summarized above…

A catch to the catch? “Unless you call to cancel, in 15 days and every 30 days thereafter”just picked that up from the website.
Also, I never trust people who set up their websites to not allow you to navigate back to your original page using your browsers back button…So annoying.

Well, you seem to have an appropriate name – “big dope”.
#1 – Yes, as I say right here in THIS post, “…within 15 days, decide whether or not you want to pay for your refills and if not, cancel.” In what way does that confuse you?
#2 – When a link opens in a NEW TAB because it’s on another domain, it’s impossible to allow you to navigate back to your original page. There’s nowhere to go back to, big dope!
Seems to me that e-cigs might be perfect for you because it will keep you from using matches, which seems dangerous….

Did anyone notice in the first paragraph it said it took under 3 minutes with a human and he (maybe she) said they didn’t get put on hold. Well in the second part it said that he/she was on hold for 45 seconds…………

Fair enough – I’ve reworded – my “wait time” was under 45 seconds before she answered, and then I wasn’t put on hold – sorry, it was not my intent to misinform…

I am interested in how you refill your own filter things? Please email me how this is possible or what you need to do this.

Just went to check out their website for the E-Cigarette and when I went to close out the site it gave me an addtional discount to purchase now for only $4.95. Of course I bought. Thanks for the info.

I agree – we’ll only support the honest merchants here…

I’m not sure why this got sent to spam – whoops! – So, did you get it?

I’ve been meaning to make a video – I really should – next time I refill, for sure, or perhaps one video covering multiple types. Anyway, I just pop the cap, pull out the retaining O-ring, and set them upright on paper towels – 4-6 drops around the rim to drip down in, let site for a while, then repeat. Usually (if i don’t forget) i repeat a third time after an hour or so, refilling to the point of it starts to drip through, then I just let em dry overnight on the paper towel, and they’re as full as can be.

I ordered the e-cigs brand online. (I had tried an other first, but it wouldn’t accept my debit card). Then someone called me & I ordered another (I thought it was the people that wouldn’t let me order wiith debit card, but it was e-cigs brand also). So I have TWO starters. I loved them, but thought I read that they were going to charge me 99.99 for the starters in 15 days, so I went to 7-11 & bought another starter pack- X Hale O2 brand (cheaper looking than e-cig, lighter in weight, closer to similar in size to Marlboro 100s, is a 3 piece instead of 2 piece, but tastes more like a cigar to me). Also purchased e-juice to refill but haven’t had to use yet. I love these!

I called e-cigs brand & canceled any refills coming. I was able to cancel- they had to find my TWO orders, they did, & cancelled both. I was on the phone a total of 10 minutes, maybe. Did make me wonder if they were really going to answer when it was a long time in the que before speaking to a real person, but they are really there- so hold on! I love these e-cigs though & am going to fiind a video on refilling, cause that is what I want to try- for the 2 piece units & 3 piece unit…… wish me luck!
