Has anyone tried the Vuse?

I'm not quite sure what the mass-market status is of the Vuse "Digital Vapor" system from RJR, but I live in Colorado Springs and they're selling them at a 7/11 near my college.

For all the hype, this device is really sub-par. For around 10 bucks, I got a kit that came with one carto, one battery, and a USB recharger. 10 bucks is pretty good value for money for a rechargeable battery, but that's about the only positive I can see with this device. Oh, and the feature of the battery turning red when it is approaching low charge is kind of nice as well.

The flavor of both the menthol and the regular cartos is awful. It has this strange chemical additive taste that is unlike anything I've ever tried before. The claims of consistency and superiority are bunk. I hardly got a consistent vape, only vary rarely would I get a draw that was satisfying.

I had trouble switching cartos to menthol, as the product would randomly blink red with a menthol cartridge and lock up. This wasn't a battery issue, I think it has something to do with the "smart-memory" feature built into the cartos. Taking one of them apart was freaky, I've not seen a design similar to this in any other carto I've taken apart. There's a little microchip inside of the carto! That was kind of terrifying to see, although a search on YouTube revealed a demo reel that kind of explains it's purpose.

Has anyone else tried this product? Where did you get it, how much did you pay, and what did you think?
 
Do you feel like you have been ripped off?
Well, it was $10 bucks and it prevented me from buying a pack, so not completely. I should have purchased an NJOY instead, or had one of my PV's charged. I bought this while I was on my way to a gig in Denver, and it served it's purpose.

Last I knew they were only in Colorado. I have questions about them before I will even consider trying one. Is the carto 510 and will it work on a different brand battery is the first?
It's not a 510, it's some crazy proprietary connection from what I can tell. And no, I don't know of any other battery that these carto's will work on, and you really wouldn't want to use them on another anyway as the juice is horrendous.
