Our friends over at Smok decided to make a Christmas raffle, but to enter it you have to pay $1
Is this the lowest of the low or am I just naive?

I hear what your saying , but if every person is going to win something then it makes sense maybe … Im assuming that’s what the 100pct win means

I somehow doubt that everyone will win something. The whole deal is some interesting reading. Big prize is $1000 coupon for their site, but you have to spend it all in one go, only on their online store

After having seen the inner works of an Alien and after having had such inconsistent experiences with their coils, I wouldn’t even vape it if they gave it for free…

Yup, even their raffles are big business to them… don’t be fooled that they’re “giving” anything. They’ll be cashing in on it.

I must have been lucky with the alien … I had a total of 4 at the time and never had a problem , I actually still have one that is unopened .

100% to win is a little vague, possibly due to translation issues, but it does appear to be saying you will win something if you enter. Likely most will get a %-off coupon, which would likely end up being more than a dollar- but make no mistake… they have no issues trading your dollar for an eventual purchase. Everyone wins, but Smok will be the Grand Prize winner.

Then yes that is shitty lol… But lets not judge to harshly … i do remember we all,use to pay whiterose to be in his raffles…and they arent calling it a giveaway they are right upfront with it being a drawing / raffle and,most drawings,and raffles do,cost something

Lol. I think it’s fine to explain why a waffle is different than a vendor raffle.
How so…welp I boil it down to supporting an amazing individual in their art vs a company that churns out thousands of mods/tanks/coils a day.

Same, even if they paid me, I wouldn’t use or recommend it. Hence I don’t review that stuff either. Too much bad experience with smok over the years and it wasn’t just the alien.
