WOW, I've known Parker for about 19 years, we grew up together! Is beyond the realm of possibility that he introduced me to E-Cigs? In my opinion, he is more knowledgeable about E-cigs than just about anyone I've encountered on this site! As for my personal opinions, I will not back down from my ringing endorsement of the Dura-C, simply because it is the best E-cig I own, HANDS DOWN! It's better than my classic, my dura, my Kissbox, and my mini-fogger. THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION! I went through a lot of frustration with all my e-cigs as I was a noob, as I know many other people have as well. My dura-c has held up better than any others FOR ME!

I find it quite distasteful that people are hurling around accusations, especially when they involve me personally. As I've stated, I've known Parker for a very long time and have never known him to try and swindle or cheat anyone! This whole public backlash is almost comical in my opinion.

I love this site and have learned a great deal from it. But if a public forum is not the place to express my personal opnion, the by all means ban me. I have done absolutely nothing wrong and find it odd that I feel as though I have to defend myself from unwarranted accusations.

Everyone on this site is affiliated with someone, if you buy a product from someone the first thing you do is write a review about their customer service, product quality, and ease of delivery and payment...If I was bored enough I could go throughout this site and draw up some conspiracy theories about virtually every member...But bottom line, I think this site is legitimate and would like to believe that everyone out there isn't in the market of screwing people over.

That's all I got, feel free to PM me if you have any questions, thoughts, conspiracy theories and I'll be more than happy to respond.

You sidestepped Parked. I'm not interested in a different problem, if you are then tell a mod or start another thread. It's not up to me to sort your grievances.

The review board is not supposed to be a place for vested interests to promote their products. You knew you would be selling those products before deciding to post on the review board. You knew you weren't an independent consumer. You misled us and this is not just a matter of protocol but a matter of you not being open, honest and trustworthy.

Janty business dealings are now suspect too.

lets do it it would be a very long list ! lol


Thanks

Parked
Despite what I may feel about Janty (and honestly, I don't have an opinion on anything but his customer service... I've never received any product) I believe the whole purpose of this thread was to call out 'stealth' vendors.

Here are a sampling of ROB26's posts:

---

I tried Janty's cappuccino about a month and a half ago and haven't vaped anything else since....I hope you like it as much as I do!

---

I've got 6 different E-cig models at this point...but I can't put down my DURA-C! No leakage for me either...awesome product...extremely happy with it!


---

WOW! I feel the need to interject here and let everyone know that I was one of the first people in the US to get my Dura-C, due to the fact that I live in close proximity to Janty USA's new office....

---

I simply love my Dura-C, just got an EVO yesterday, and topping off is not easy...the Dura-carts are much easier to deal with IMO. I haven't thoroughly tested my EVO, probably because I'm so in love...

---

There are more, but I'm not going to beat a dead horse. There is a difference between being a 'fan-boy' and being on the payroll. This is EXACTLY what this thread is about.

Parked
but how many of those fan boys are actually people who for months have known they were going into business to sell those products?
how many of those fan boys then went on to purchase a 3000 square foot warehouse and "share" it with the very company they gave rave reviews?

come on mate, be serious!

Walrus, did you even take the time to read my previous post?

Notice all the IMO, Simply stated, I have never been given a dime by anyone in the E-cig world. I stand behind every one of my opinions.

If 'knowing' him is the extent of your relationship, or even 'friendship', then I apologize. However, Parked's statement "I'm affiliated with one forum member this is his name "ROB26" and choice of the word 'affiliated' led me to believe that there is some type of business arrangement, even if it is limited to employment. If that isn't the case, he should have made it more clear. If it is the case, then I owe no apology and stick by my original post.

Your previous post came out while I was typing that one. Can't take into consideration something that wasn't there when I began composing my post. If there is confusion about your involvement, then it's because of Parked's choice of words.

Post Hold the Phones here on passing Judgment

Maybe we should hold the phones here a little on passing ad hoc judgment on Parked and his new venture. Attacking his veracity is a little extreme. The hint of a conflict of interest is one thing to point out, but an outright assult on him lacks merit. So lets ease back a little here.

Parked--A lot of people here are not going to be happy with you unless you somehow clarify on your reviews that you are a Supplier now or move them. If that does not happen then there will be a lot of distention. Whether this distention is well founded or not will always be open to debate. The only way to clear even a hint of a conflict is to in fact move them to your own subforum. Wheather you do that or not is your business, and I for one and not going to pass judgment on you so quickly--it is a terrible think to sit in judgment, and those that choose to do so should do it with great care IMO.

A reqeust to move your vidoes Parked to their proper place would be what I would do and that is my suggestion and my take on it for what it is worth-----Sun

Walrus, I assure you that Parker is and is nothing more than a good friend of mine, great friend in fact, I was in the guys wedding for gods sake...I agree, "affiliated with" indeed was a poor choice of words. I can assure you that I haven't received a single penny from the guy, I wish I could say I had...lol...I just graduated college and am currently unemployed....lol...but e-cigs is not the business I'm going into with my degree
