Documentary Quesitons

[RatInDaHat]

Let's try to focus on a direction. Nobody who isn't a smoker or e-smoker will care about the devices in the grand scheme of things. what they will care about is the social implications of the devices, how they effect them, their families, and their society. How their use, regulation, etc. impacts their life and the lives of e-smokers.

I think we should focus on the social side of things not on the specifics of usage. That make sense?

I agree with JP, so my question would be: If we know that the manufacturer/ retailer claims regarding performance are not true why we keep buying them? i think that until we keep buying nobody will came up with a better product.
Somebody is making loads of money, at our expenses.

Sure, I'm in complete agreement. I definitely don't want you to stray from the main focus of your documentary. I guess I didn't have a very good idea of the themes you wanted to convey. I think this project sounds awesome in every way, and I hope the community likes it.

That was my fault for just saying give me questions, not here is the focus, now give me questions. Hopefully we know the concept now and can start getting a good list together.

remember everybody, no questions that can be answered with a yes or no. open ended is good.

How do analog smokers feel about the e-cig?
I`ve had good and bad comments when vaping in public , but most of the negative comments seem to come from die hard smokers.
I was vaping in a bar recently and an ex-smoker actually picked up the habit again after 2 years. Weak willed or encouragement? .I did explain the in`s and out`s of vaping but I did feel gulity.Maybe if i didn`t vape then he wouldn`t be on the evil weed again.

check the first post and see how you feel about the list. Anything drastic i'm missing? anything that doesn't matter? Let me know.

The list looks like a good start. I printed it out, and I'm going to try and make a video (rough cut) to submit to the effort. Thanks, Rat!

I haven't visited this thread since it got its own location, but I'm glad to see the focus of the questions will be open-ended, as you say Dusty. Yes-no questions like "is it safer than ..." "is it cheaper than ... 'do you feel better than..." are dull, dull, dull and do not make good video (or good conversation, as far as that goes). Draw comments from people! Tell stories.

Your list seems good. Let each person choose five to answer. No more. Then you, Mr. Director, can view the video essays and put the pieces together. I cannot imagine you wanting to sit through lots of 30-minute talking heads stiffly answering each and every question. Even Robert Redford would fall asleep during that.

And you surely need a curmudgeon like Trog if all you get are happy campers loving this new hobby. Somebody needs to tell some truths. I know you know that. You also need Trumpybloke, our Mexican member and some more who have faced a ban. It ain't all roses out there. Good luck.

You should get in front of the camera too, Tropical Bob. We would love to see what you look like.
