@clnire . AWESOME! 9.9 confirmed. Unfortunately, I don't have access to reviewing, I'm not a member, the whole no social media thing, you know, but this is a great link and I hope everyone who does have acces to the reviews pushes it to 10+ (if that's possible). Keep up the great efforts! It's like eating an elephant, "One bite at a time." We all just need to keep trotting out THE TRUTH and exposing the lies. Thanks again!

Vapers Unite!

In one of the earlier clips about the movie there was mention of some apparel we could purchase to help the movie. Most of the smaller items were sold out, but it looks like they have more stock in if anyone is interested in a hat or shirt. I hope it is OK to post this here. I'm not a part of the store or movie.

great! Thanks for the head's up!! Jup wearing these items is a great way to help support it. People might ask about it, and even if they don't, they'll see it, and when they hear about the movie, maybe it'll ring a bell in their head and make them curious!!

vaping DOES and WILL save lives. That is a given. It is proven that it is 95% safer than smoking traditional cigarettes. I honestly strongly believe that you aren't going to die from vaping. that is just my opinion though. I hope that this video gets out , and many many people can see it and see the true effects of vaping, and what it can do to help people. I will most certainly call Netflix and do whatever I can to help spread the word.

that's great!! Appreciate your help. Aaron has been busy traveling, so I never did get the bag enclosure from his graphics team to give to willing vape shops, but I will make one and upload it. Definitely visit or call your local vape shops. The only ones likely to promote this will be vapers, and there are tons of vapers that have never heard of it! Vape shops are a great way to great way to get the info out to vapers! See if they'll put a flyer, print out, cut apart and put an enclosure into each bag. Online vendors can do the same with each order they pack up. It is beneficial for them to do it.........if this stays the same........they're outta business.

ETA: Made some minor word changes......scroll down a bit to see the newest version. made it business card size per Retired's suggestion and made it front and back. Thanks Retired.

Ok........what do you all think of this? I can get 6 per page with this. The type of the main body is 10pt which is small, but readable. Business cards usually use 8 or 9 pt for the small print. If there is wording you think is not needed, we can eliminate and make the type bigger.

This is a documentary every vaper MUST promote. They have released it in a couple other countries, and in New Zealand, it caused the government to state they would reconsider their ban on vaping! That is HUGE! In the US it must have a BIG premiere in order to make the most meaningful impact! Here’s how you can help!

It has links to what A Billion Lives is all about as well as ways you can help. Thank you so much for whatever you choose to do to promote this documentary!!


Note: A billion lives is centered, the rest is left justified. The word MUST is in red, but they can print all B&W if they want.

Why not use both sides of the card?

This would go on the front.

thanks. I didn't know how to do that. that's not a bad idea. I just wanted to make it simple for vendors, they likely won't print it on cardstock, and since I don't have a printer to test it, and it's been a long time since I've printed double sided on regular copy paper, didn't know if it would show through.

Now when I put the link on template, do I can just copy what comes up in the browser right? Cuz MS Office doesn't parse it? Is parsing where it turns it from a link, to the way it looked when I did it where it just said the name of the thread?

Hmmmm. While Office won't parse it, it most likely will turn it into an active link, changing the color. Easily fixed before doing the copy/paste thing.

Suggestion. Can get business cards made up by Vista Print. Usually around 16 bucks per 100.

Edit -- Just looked. You can get 500 made for 20 bucks. That's not half bad.

So far it didn't change it on my template. This is larger than business card size, but if I do it on both sides at business card size, will likely still be fairly small print I'd need, but then they'd have the option of having their business card people print it, or just printing/copying it themselves and cutting the paper. I'm hoping to get many many B&Ms to put this is in customers bags, and also online vendors to include them in orders. So it's definitely going to cost them to do it, but it would also be beneficial for them to do it. Would certainly be nicer if they'd have their business card folks do it.

ok made a couple of changes. Made it business card size. This is the front

A BILLION
LIVES

This is a documentary every vaper MUST promote. The FDA has released deeming regulations that will decimate the vaping industry, if not changed. This documentary caused the NZ govt. to say they’d reconsider bans. In the US it must have a BIG premiere in order to make the most meaningful impact! See the back of this card for ways you can help ABL in their efforts to save the vaping industry.


This is the back. The headline is centered, the text is right and left justified on both front and back.

When calling or visiting vape stores, theaters, or other businesses, please speak to the manager if possible. They’re far more likely to be able to assist you.



Now I need help in getting this put together with both front and back in a printable and emailable file please lol I have done some of this stuff, but have never been good at it. Also still open to any wording suggestions.

Does anyone know how to make the V in lives smoky the way ABL does it?

grrrrrrr I copied ret's link and used the plain tags and it still says a billion lives

That's because you didn't put the link in. You put the title in. :lol:

I fixed it.
:facepalm: ok, I put the link in first, then the forum parsed it, then I put the plain tags on either side of that. I know this aint the sandbox, but gonna try this.
deleted it, but it worked. now I know how to do it.
