Marlboro Mark 10 XL

[Debi123]

I was using FIN, but our local stores stop selling the vapes. They were the nearest to a perfect cigarette as I had found. I began using the Mark 10 XL and it ran a close second, but I have noticed lately that the $7.99 two-pack cartridges do not last as long. I had not increased my intake, more so, I feel that in an attempt to cash in on the popularity, they have decreased the amount of fluid in the vape cartridge so you will be purchasing more. Any others noticed this?

I tried them once (Mark 10) because I got a coupon so one cost $1. The thing didn't last me long at all, I thought it was a joke. There's no way I'd spend the money on them personally. For flavor I'd suggest getting a pen style battery and an EVOD or CE4 and use Sofa King AM or Halo Tribecca.

In the end probably cost you about the same or less a month and provide a similar vape experience, just in a bigger package of course, more like a cigar than cigarette size.

I have learned to expect only evil from Phillip Morris. Few people around here vape gas station ecigs. They’re very very expensive for what you get.

Hi and welcome. I use regular mods, myself. The cigalikes don't do anything for me.

I also would ditch the cigalikes. Get either an Ego battery setup or a regulated mod setup. So much more like a real cigarette experience that a cigalike could never match. Much cheaper in the long run, too.

Welcome Debi. Skipped that step of vaping.

I too skipped that vaping step and I am glad. Almost any other device that you get will likely be more customizable and effective.

Are you saying they actually STATED they reduced the e-liquid content, or you just suspect it? I wouldn't put much past big tobacco but it is possible that you are vaping slightly more as you transition....

Either way, there are many inexpensive starter kits that would give you a lot more flexibility and a better vape. Good luck, and welcome to ECF.

Hello and welcome to ecf

I'm sure they put as little liquid in as they can.
It's about the money, not quality vaping.

The people behind these types of e-cig are just greedy business people. Make cheap, sell expensive, explain away the true low quality of the products with highly dubious marketing.

haven't used them enough to know but do know you can refill them with your own e-juice
