    Leaford,

    I just saw your newest top 5 video. I'll make my (positive) comments about your review on the ECF thread. Here I want to tell you how impressed I was by your open acknowledgment of depression and anxiety: both of which my wife suffers from.

    I have battled with "Bipolar II" disorder (an atypical and milder form of manic depression) my entire adult life. I was so fortunate about 15 years ago:

    1. to have it properly diagnosed, finally
    2. to respond so favorably to Zoloft and Trazadone

    Can I assume that you have sought professional help and have at least tried some of the medications that are available these days? [I know via my wife that not everyone responds to or can tolerate various medications.]

    You and I have never met nor corresponded, yet you were my primary e-cig mentor a couple months ago, even before I took my first vape.

    Thank you! It is good to have you back!

    Don

There have been an outrageous amount of complaints about a vendor using the name Smoking Everywhere both online and in kiosks at the mall. Bad products, worse service, no refunds, refused exchanges, sometimes never even getting shipped.

Obviously, we need to know who they are and avoid them, and let others know to avoid them, too.

But there are actually two companies using the name, or variations on it.

So, I've looked into getting it sorted out, and here's...

I've been thinking for awhile about refining my review system. I came up with it when I was still a bit new to these things, and it hasn't always worked as well as I had hoped.

Combining Vapor output and ease of draw into one atomizer score has been problematic at times. The ease of draw often depends as much or more on the battery as the atomizer, for example.

And having scores averaged for the atomizer and battery, then averaged again for the total score, dilutes the...

Thanks for all the input, everyone. I am surprised and gratified that there haven't been any negative comments.

I have decided to go for it.

Someonw much wiser than me once said the key to happiness is to find something you love to do, and someone who will pay you to do it.

I've never had that. I think, no, I KNOW I stopped even searching for it long ago.

My biggest lifelong love is Comic Books, but I have no talent for art or writing....

Thanks, Smokey Joe! I think I'm going to give this blogging thing a try.

And the topic of my first post is something I mentioned in another thread: Reviewer ethics and free samples, affiliate links, advertisements, and sponsors.

When I first started doing reviews, I was purchasing all of my own products. I had two jobs at the time, and between them I had a healthy budget for buying gadgets and toys, and redirected that all towards e-cigs.

It wasn't too long...
