It sucks. It produces almost no smoke, the cartridges that they claim "contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes" last for 2 hours of intermittent puffs, the thing decides to start "cleaning" itself regularly after about a day, and the battery runs out way too fast.

It's a good idea, I think, whose time has not come yet.

* Disclaimer: I bought 2 different kinds. Smoking Everywhere and Smoke Free. Smoke Free was better in that it was actually the size of a cigarette and produced more "smoke" (vapor), but they both sucked so bad I was back to exclusively real cigarettes within 4 days.

It's a shame your first experience was with over-priced inefficient garbage. Try one of big battery models (with a manual switch) from one of the American or European e-cig start-ups and drip bottled liquid directly onto cheap atomizers which should be considered disposable items. I got through about 2 a month and buy them in bulk for around $6 each.

Here's my list of all the big boys: http://www.e-cignews.com/items/A_run_down_of_all_the_big_bat...

May I ask where you get you atomizers from?
sure, sometimes Centraltrade (a wholesaler in China | e-liquid.cn), Bestecig.com (A manufacturer in China..atomizers are great, avoid his batteries though) and totallywicked-eliquid.com (A seller In America and the UK). They all do bulk deals and there are some others too I haven't used like Puresmoker.com (USA) and eastmall.net (China)
