Trying ecigs again, I think I've been had!

Hi,

I had a health issue a week ago and thought it would be a good idea to cut out the cigarettes so picked up an ecig kit at my local tobacconist, the price seemed reasonable 10euro for the ecig with 2 cartridges - the pack of 2 cartridges would be 8euro

I still had a pouch of tobacco and a pack of cigarettes, I mixed and matched my way through a week and thought that the ecig was a good idea.

Until it came time to pick up another pack of cartridges, I managed to use one cartridge in 24 hours!

I've seen a video showing that these cartridges can be refilled, I'll give it a go, hopefully I can find some eliquid locally otherwise it's back to tobacco 😦

If I can't find liquid or it's not possible to refill then I'll keep it for nights out and travelling (the times I would normally buy regular cigarettes), I can see the attraction.

I can't help but feel I've been ripped off! AND they had the gall to take my email address to register the device! I think they got my phone number too as been plagued by daily calls since! I don't answer unknown numbers in Italy, way too many cold callers here! Plus I don't speak Italian well enough to talk on the phone, person to person I'm OK.

I'll see what's available tomorrow but in honesty I miss the cigarettes (rollups) and I think the health issue was flu (cold) related combined with humid air anyway

I'm not spending 4euro a day!

Anyway rant over 🤣

Stay Frugal!
