Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueI only ordered the $4.95 trial, because i thought it would be neat to have around. I hadn't even opened it until today, when I found out a charge had gone through on my account that they refused to reverse. If the Booklet is correct, the 6 cartridges they sent me (each equal to one pack of cigarettes) should have lasted the average smoker 6 days, not 14. And if the reviews I'm reading are correct, (only half the cartridges work and battery life is terrible)they probably don't even last that long. If I had a reset button, I would never have clicked submit on my order information. A HUGE waste of my time and money. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueI actually marvel at the thought that I'm not getting any of the 4000 poisons going into my lungs including the tar which is the worst! Most of all, I get the satisfaction of the nicotine that a normal cigarette would give me. Funny things happen on trains and in stores when people challenge me as I am "smoking". They look shocked and just walk away after saying wow, I was fooled! Thanks also for the excellent service. In my "other life" I was a customer service consultant among my other hats and I would have to give you an A !!! |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueUnhappy in Chitown commented on April 01 2012: Scott and Janae are absolutely correct! I bought this contraption and 5 cartridges for what I thought was a $5.95 one time charge. The next thing I know I am getting 2 separate charges for $1.95 each, and each would have gone up to about $50 had I not called to inquire and then cancel the "services". Then I get a $110 charge which apparently means the original deal of $5.95 was total BS. And the best part: if you call to get your money back, you are "requested" to return the product or you will get charged again! The e-cig: fine, works as advertised. The company selling it: total crap, wouldn't trust them to take out my garbage. SCOTT commented on March 16 2012: Smoke 51 sucks and their 4.95 starter kit is a scam. They tell you it is all free and then charge and charge you over and over again. Beware please -Scott Janae commented on November 28 2011: I AGREE!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS!! The quality is absolutely horrible. The taste is awful. I tried to change the cheap plastic cartidges and the juice just leaked out everywhere. I tried to call customer service and they were AWFUL! They wouldn't let me return the product, they wouldn't refund the exorbitant autmatic charge that was burried in the fine print when I ordered it ($110 for ONE battery and 5 cartridges), in fact, their ONLY offer was to send me more product and charge me more money! An absolutely AWFUL, DISHONEST, and LOW-QUALITY company. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueThese people pulled a fast one on me, won't happen again. Zimron Whitfield commented on September 17 2012: The same thing happened to me. I thought I was getting a free trial for $4.95 shipping and handling and then they billed me for $99.67. Easy way to trick you out of your money.When I called to get my money back they still kept $20.00. As far as I am concerned it is a SCAM!!!!!! C Fielder commented on December 07 2011: Same thing happened to me ~ DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! |

Overall
Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueI bought my Duo from a mall kiosk despite all of the negative reviews on here. I had a limited amount of time to stop smoking, and didn't want to wait for an order to get here in the mail, so I haggled and got a pretty good deal with the kiosk dude. Cons: -The cartridges are more expensive than others. -When the cartridges start to run out, they get a flavor that I can only describe as burned-smoldering wood (tobacco flavored cartridges). The throat-hit is a bit harsh at this stage too. -The carrying case I bought with the kit does not hold a "100" size battery with a cartridge attached. The cartridges also do not fit inside unless you take off the stoppers. -The cartridges do not last me "1 1/2 - 2 packs." I barely smoked 1 pack per day and I will go through 1 1/2 cartridges per day (same with my ProSmoke). This could be due to the inherent nature of an e-cig, in that you don't light it up and burn it down to a definite ending point (the filter), so there is nothing visual to tell you you're done. Pros: -Excellent "throat hit" and amount of smoke. -Very simple setup. Each cartridge is an atomizer and they're closed systems, so you don't have to worry about the atomizer pulling the wad out of the cartridge. Unlike the ProSmoke (which I also reviewed on here), the atomizer does not overheat. -I bought a regular and a "100" size battery. The regular battery was dead on arrival, so I took it back and they exchanged it no questions asked. I really have no idea what "Robert Macke" was saying above about them not honoring guarantees anymore. *** Overall, I am happy with this purchase. If you do decide on this, do the right thing and ASK THE KIOSK WORKER FOR A DEMONSTRATION AND INSTRUCTIONS. Just reading the reviews on here, I am convinced that if more people did that one simple thing this product would have another star or more higher rating. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueRobtheEcigGuy commented on April 24 2012: Really, it DOES tell you all the conditions and such where you put in your address. It's not even that small really. Rod commented on August 23 2011: Just to follow-up on my earlier post. I called the Vapor-Corp number and got bounced around regarding the 'Free Trial'. Ended up being told by the rep that the trial period was 14-days. Considering I didn't receive the 4.95 S&H Smoke-51 Trio starter kit until two-weeks after I placed the order pretty well meant there's no way around getting billed for the starter kit. The web-site I ordered the 4.95 S&H 'Free Kit' from was a pop-up ad when I was reviewing an e-cig article on-line. Nowhere in the on-line ad did it say anything about the brand or 'trial terms'. The on-line ad stated only 4.95 S&H and didn't say anything about a 14-day trial period after which if the kit wasn't returned within 14-days you would automatically be billed $109.67 to your credit card and you would automatically receive re-fill kits monthly at another $69.62 each. Ironically the site didn't allow me to even choose anything regarding the type of vapor nicotine or anything. The packaged kit arrived two-weeks after I placed the order and had no paperwork or invoice enclosed that informed me of anything. A couple of weeks later I received a refill kit, again with no paperwork or invoice. I returned the refill kit to the sender since I definitely didn't order or expect it. Vapor-Corp did cancel my account and will refund my $69.62 once they receive the refill kit back but I have to suck-up the $109.67 for the Trio stater kit since it wasn't returned in time. I was issued a transaction number for the incident and now will see if they follow through. The phone number for the 'Trial' program return is (877) 766-5306. I learned an expensive lesson here about on-line e-cig marketing with Vapor-Corp. Their products aren't the issue here, the marketing techniques are. I will be watching this closely and hope this might help others who got bit. Shaun commented on August 22 2011: SCAM. Just like the posts above. The same thing happened to me. Its all a scam. I signed up for a 30 day FREE trial offer. The offer starts as soon as they debit your card for S&H. After waiting a week for delivery, I had already lost 7 days. A week after I received the SMOKE 51 I was Debited another $109.67 Three weeks after receiving SMOKE 51 YES another Debit for $ 69.62 I did call and got "sorry Sir you didn't read the fine print. Too Bad so Sad. We got your Money$$$$$$$$ Thanks A bunch SMOKE 51 DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS. Rod commented on August 21 2011: Bob, I'm dealing with the same issue. Signed-up for the 'FREE' starter kit (Trio)for $4.95 S&H in July. Just got my credit card statement and shows a charge of $109.67 on 7/21 and 69.72 on 8/6. The billing was under the name ignitecig with a contact number 877.652-0206 on my card statement. I had received refill cartridges that I didn't order a few weeks back with no enclosed paperwork and returned them to the shipped from address. I sent an email inquiry today to Smoke 51's customer support office in Florida and will call them tomorrow to follow-up. I feel like I've been scammed and after looking at various blogs, I'm just one of many. I've been dealing with 'Totally Wicked' brand and have had no trouble getting the products and the quality and service has been great so far. Bob commented on August 14 2011: I purchased under same conditions on 7/13/11 and my card was charged the $4.95. On 7/27/11 another charge for $109.67 appeared. Then on 8/12/11 another charge for $69.62 appeared. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueTrial of Fifty One Trio VERY disappointing. Max 2 visable vapor exhalations per refill- even on fully charged battery. Ordered menthol 24 mg, but strength no where near that, and NO menthol taste. A number of refills were complete duds. Will never purchase again! Awaiting new starter kit of another brand. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueIf you have a Dou and your frustrated: Look at your Dou battery you'll notice to pin holes at base of the thread. These seem to act like an air intake, and if you snug down your filters, you may block these intakes (poor design really). Resulting in a small amount of vapor per puff, and using the e-cig felt more like suckin' your thumb than smoking a cigarette, If you have the feeling your sucking a frozen milkshake through a straw, loosen you cartridge a tad (the smallest amount... really) an see if it helps. The more you unscrew it the greater the air to Vapor ratio. I've noticed much more vapor, less cartridge failures, and longer battery life (shorter burn per puff, since I get more vapor). It has totally changed my opinion of the product. I have no doubt there are better e-cigs out there. I bought it at a mall kiosk after all. But I think it's a slightly over priced entry level e-cig. After I run though the next few packs of cartridges I may step-up to a product with better reviews, and longer battery life. If your here doing some research, to decide which e-cigarette is best for you. I would tell you you may want to look at a few more options. The Fifty one DOU is a bit hit or miss, and it is quirky at best, and the design is a bit odd. The Green Smoke or eSmoke systems offer a similar two piece system and seem to have better reviews. They will likely by my next purchases. In the mean time if you don't know if an e-cigatette is for you, try a disposable pack first. The same company that make the DOU, Vapor Corp., makes a product called Krave for about $20, it maybe worth a look. If you like it, then spring for one of the better guys. I dont regret my purchase, I love the benefits of an e-cig. But I would have bought a different model if i could do it again. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Valuevisitor commented on June 28 2011: well...if 30 filters equals 210 cigarettes..(7x30)...that is still more than a carton of regular cigarettes and almost 1/2 the price. If you want to help make your filters last longer...keep the atomizer moist with juice...I have found that to be teh solution to that problem...at least in my case...just dont use more than 4 drops at a time. smokinbilly commented on May 12 2011: rand, tyler has a point about people being too stupid to read the instructions. and apparently your math skills are lacking as well, while 105 cigs may be a little over half a carton, he stated that the 15-pack costs 15 dollars, which he doubled to 30 dollars, in turn doubling the 105 cigs to 210 cigs. bet YOU feel dumb, have a nice day Rand commented on April 06 2011: Ummm, Tyler, before you go calling people "stupid," you might want to remove the beam from your own eye. Your math skills are less than elementary. 7 x 15 does in fact = 105 cigarettes; however, a carton of cigarettes - 10 packs - contains 200 cigarettes. Therefore, your $30 investment = approximately *one half* carton of cigarettes. :: blink blink :: Jayson commented on March 02 2011: the reason so many people get the idea that one cartridge is equivalent to 1-2 packs of smokes is because that is what the owners manual claims each cartrige is, it also says that one package of 5 is equivalent to 1-2 cartons of smokes, however I do agree with you that there is no way that the 30min to 1hour of smoke time is anywhere near the strength of a pack. Have you heard of anyone having a hard time returning the battery if it stops working considering it says it has a lifetime warranty but doesnt leave a phone number or address Lisa commented on February 24 2011: LOL Tyler! You are so funny, but you are also absolutely right! I bought the Fifty One duo, and really not knowing anything about e-cigs at that time, I still knew there was NO WAY 1 cartridge would be equivalent to 1 & 1/2 to 2 packs of regular cigarettes. I have to say, my only problem with this is EVERY time I buy a box of 5 cartridges, at least 1 doesn't work...I had 1 box that 3 didn't work. But, I buy them at a local tobacco store, and the gentleman who works there is nice enough to give me discounts, etc. due to this problem. I thought I didn't like the 51, until I bought a Smoke Tip...wow! What a piece of junk that was! I sent it back the same day I got it! It was absolutely HORRID!!!!! UGH! So, anyway, thank you for your common sense - hopefully people will get the point! :) |
