I have been a longtime user of the VUSE e-cigarettes and have recommended them to other people trying to quit smoking. When I first quit, they kept me off cigarettes painlessly.

Even after switching to a much better "true" vaping system, I have continued to use the VUSE as a backup or emergency vape.

Lately, however, there have been nonstop problems with the VUSE.

In the last six months, the quality of the product has gone from about a 9 to about a minus 10.

Here's a small sampling:

1. The "rechargeable" batteries are not. After one use, they disintegrate and they don't hold a charge AT ALL. These are meant to be re-usable, and they're certainly priced like re-usables.

If RJR wants them to be sold as disposables, they need to lower the price. These batteries are flimsy, impossible to use and do NOT re-charge. Not even once.

This means that EVERY time you want to use a VUSE, you have to buy the full "starter pack" that comes with a battery, charger and cartomizer and goes for around $25.00.

You can buy a full vaping system that you refill yourself with real e-juice, AND a bottle of e-juice, for that same price, and it will last you a LOT longer.

2. Cartomizers that are duds.

This has long been a problem, about 1/3 of the refills you buy are duds. Everyone who uses VUSE knows this, but now the problem is compounded because the cartomizers last about half as long as they used to.

3. LED lights that don't indicate the true level of charging, cartomizer amount or anything else. the flimsy, cheap batteries are obviously made with cheap, flimsy parts all over.

And here's the REAL crowning glory...

4.

The price has GONE UP instead of down like every other vaping system in the world.

At my local retailer, the already-ridiculous price of $8.00 for a refill of two cartomizers has just gone up to $10.00 for a refill. SERIOUSLY? You have to buy them more often AND they've gone up in price?

I think I see the picture!

Bottom line, after I am done with my current batch, I will NEVER use this product again and I certainly will not recommend it to ANYONE trying to quit. I'll instead recommend a nice, easy vaping system that will help them quit without gouging them like this.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $300.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

R J Reynolds Tobacco Company Pros: What they were like before.
