Ok, so admittedly I wasn't really sure where to post this, so I decided that since I did this with stuff I bought from PS, I would post it here.
So yesterday, I went to the mall to let my girlfriend spend her gift card, and to get some bourbon chicken (om nom nom). On my way through the mall, I noticed yet another new ecig and "e-cigar" kiosk had popped up near the food court, and thought, what the hell, I'll take a look.
There were already a few customers hanging about, with one completing his purchase. I browsed some of the products, and noticed they were marketing one "e-cigar" which I had seen before, and found to be quite tasteless. I then noticed some new stuff I hadn't seen at the old kiosk, what looked to be standard 510 batteries, with them selling pre-filled cartomizers. I saw the exchange of money from the paying customer to the vendor, and sort of chuckled to myself. "This is going to be fun" I thought.
Time to put on my troll face.
So I browse a bit more, and notice at no point are any prices posted on any of the products. By now the vendor has noticed me, and before even asking if he can help me or not, he asks "how many cigarettes" I smoke in a day. I tell him "none". I then whip out my Ego-T and start vaping away on some Firecracker. The guy looks perplexed. He asks "what's that?". I explain. Then the fun began.
This guy took no time in attempting to prove to me that his product was superior. I could tell from what I was looking at that what I was seeing was no better than Blu Cigs, if not worse. He asks what I'm vaping, and I explain I'm using PS Firecracker 24mg. The strongest he offers is 16mg >_< He hands it to me to try.
I get the blandest, tightest pull ever, with a harshness I have never felt at 16mg before. It tastes like coffee with a cigarette .... in it. He tells me it's chocolate. Yeah. Okay.
Remember that people are watching.
He has me sample some more flavors. They all taste the same. I keep vaping my Firecracker, producing clouds of vapor that dwarf anything his product is creating. Then I pop the big question.
How much does your product cost?
$150.
One-hundred and fifty dollars.
For 2 batteries, no PCC, and one usb charger.
No cartridges.
As soon as he tells me the price, I lose it and begin laughing uncontrollably.
"Are you ......ing kidding me?" I ask him.
"Why? Well how much was yours?"
I tell him how much I paid at PS. Everyone hears. Including the guy who just spent $150.
This guy eyes over my Ego-T, and tries to tell me that it's leaking. I explain to him the concept of water vapor causing condensation inside the tubes. Then he tries telling me it's not condensation, but rather that it is PURE LIQUID NICOTINE and will make me very sick
Of course, if that were true, one drop in my mouth would kill me. Assuming it were PURE nicotine. Just saying. I lick it away in front of him. You know what it tastes like? "Freaking WATER!"
He isn't swayed by my argument.
I put away the Ego XL with the Ego-T tank atty and whip out my Ego passthrough, different color, with my Boge LR atty and a zip tip, this time with another liquid with extra VG. Clouds of vapor erupt around me.
"Well now what the hell is that?" he wants to know. I explain it's basically the same technology he's marketing, only better, and much cheaper. He argues warranties with me, and tells me how cartomizers suck... until I point out that his product is delivered via... dum dum dum... cartomizers. Which he swear are a 3 piece design, and are awful. I disassemble mine and his to show the similarities. He shuts the hell up. He doesn't believe they are the same thing, simply because of my zip tip.
I explain to him that I never had any intention of buying from him. That I set out only to embarrass him and educate the bystanders. I explained to him my disgust for people that market sub-par e-cigs at an astronomical price, only to ultimately ruin everyone on the initial impression of them, and more people end up saying "well, e-cigs won't work for me" and not being willing to try again because they spent $150 on some douche bags starter kit. And when they need refills, they have to come back to him. He told me I can vape his stuff and spend only $120 a month. No kidding, ........ I'm spending $30 a month as it is right now.
I gave PureSmoker business cards to everyone involved, including the vendor. I know I made some sales of my own
Everywhere I go I end up doing a seminar on e-cigs, how they work, the benefits, and the money savings. I refer everyone to PS because I believe it to be the highest quality product on the market right now, the hardware prices cannot be beat, and customer service is stellar.
"Empress Kitty" and I even demonstrated PS products in a damn Burger King and had everyone in the place interested.
Cash. Hear my plea.
Open a franchise here. Let me work for you.
I can make you so much money it's not even funny.
And I can put .......s like this out of business.
