Avoid e-Cigarette Scams

Archive note: September 2026. This revised archive edition preserves a May 2013 Spinfuel consumer-reporting guide about early e-cigarette marketing and trial offers. The original named businesses and products; made health, safety, and quality claims; listed prices, billing terms, and comparisons; linked to individual warnings; and offered purchasing and technical advice. Those elements have been removed. This page is a historical record, not current guidance or an assessment of any business, product, health issue, financial decision, or legal matter.

A 2013 Consumer-Reporting Archive

During the early years of the vaping market, Spinfuel published introductory reporting for smokers and new vapers. This article reflects the publication’s concern about promotional language, trial-period marketing, and recurring-charge practices at that time.

What Has Been Removed

The original included business and product names, allegations, prices, billing terms, comparisons, health and safety statements, technical descriptions, purchasing advice, and links to contemporaneous warnings. Those details are not retained because they are dated and should not be treated as current information, evidence, or advice.

Why Preserve It?

Spinfuel’s early consumer reporting is part of its editorial history. This archive preserves that record without repeating old claims or directing readers toward current decisions.

Originally published May 2013. Revised archive edition, September 2026.
