VIP E-cig stalls

[VapeKingMikes]

This is for all newbies, just a piece of advice. Most of you would have seen these VIP E-cig stalls in your local shopping centre. Now I too bought one of these starter kits when I first started vaping. But now im clued up on vaping products,mods, different e liquid ratios and so on. I approached one of staff on the stalls after reading a quote from the company itself which you can see on their official website which states "our products should not be used with any other companies batteries, atomisers, liquids. Doing so may result in serious injury to the user or any third party" now in regards to that quote the "Photon" battery they sell is an ego 510 threaded battery. I have used Mini Pro Tanks and other clearomiZers on this battery and it works. Now the second quote from the companies official website it states "The Photon's vastly superior quality together with VIP's specially blended e-juice makes for a great vape. VIP's V5 Clearomizer is one of the best producers of vapour on the market. The best feature about the V5/CE5 is the smooth vapour hit. Most tank models burn the e-liquid so you are only left with a hint of the flavour, but the V5 leaves the flavour intact and delivers a consistent burst of vapour" now thats a complete disgraceful comment as they are stating other companies such as multi-million pound comapny kanger or joytech clearomizers would burn the liquid. Now this is not true and the millions of people using other companies "tanks" will tell you that they do NOT burn the liquid. So after approaching the man on the stall with this he gladly and happily said to me "VIP are a con, they try and con people into thinking only vip products can work with vip products which isnt true". So after reading this my hope is that all people considering buying VIP products will take a second thought before buying. Because would you really want to buy from a company that clearly make comments which are not true and are dishonest?! 'This is my personal opinion'

Well yes at the time I bought their starter kit I didnt know any different. They target newbies who know nothing about e cigs...

what did the staff say when you spoke to them about it?

Although I know they are shite I have a soft spot for VIP - got me started on the way to my MVP (just for 2 days!)

he was lost for words, he just basically admitted he knew they are conning people and giving them lies. But he doesnt care its just a job to him

I agree.

Sadly, most of the "brand" products pull the same stunts.

..one thought for VIP and all the rest....

What do you think your customer(s) will do when they realise the truth? Keep buying and let you off? OR, Decide to look elsewhere?

Very few of these companies tell the truth... there are too many millions to make before the cat is out of the bag.

Yeah There's a VIP stall in my local shopping centre!

I started out by purchasing a starter pack from these guys www.debangstix.com/ After reseaching and help on another forum (ECF) I found better and cheaper alternatives. I can't knock them too much though, without them I might still be puffing away on my marlboro lights! These companies are con artists though. I dont get how they think they can keep it up becasue I only made one other purchase from their site untill I learnt more and shopped else where. They cant get alot of repeat customers once people start researching into other products.

I also accept that cigalites (from well known brands) got me started and they did make me think - I might be able to quit? So they do hold a place in my heart, but theres a ton of far superior gear out there!

I just wish they didn't lie. One cart WILL NOT equate to 200 puffs (20 pack of fags) On that front, they offend me............

I'm with Pepperty 100% there. They do tell massive porkies about their abilities. But without them I would still be smoking now as I knew absolutely nothing about vaping.

I had a quick look at the VIP stall in Churchill Shopping Centre in Brighton on Saturday,i asked the price of the V5.He said £10 ,i just laughed and walked away.
