28 days smoke free thanks to FrozenNorth and arcticvapor.com

[DHEnthusiast]

First I would like to say hello to you all, thanks for the forum and a huge thank you to FrozenNorth for changing my life!

Started smoking when I was 8 years old and smoked for 24 years!
I have try'd to stop smoking before using things like nic gum, patches and lack of will power!

Nothing worked! Thought I would never be able to quit!

4 weeks ago I was approached by an Un-named person and we talked a little about ecigs and quitting smoking!

I had wanted to quit before a few times, like I told you before and had no luck!

he intro'd me to e cigs!
It was hard, but it worked!
I haven't smoked for 28 days now!

This is the first time I have ever went without a smoke for more than a day!

He started me out with 24mg which wasn't enough because I was an almost chain smoker!

"I was always puffin on a cig"

So he set me up with some 36mg e liquids!
The flavors he makes are amazing and safe!

Now after having been intro'd me to the ego and the super duper ego I find myself loving to vape!

I vape all the time!

Like my love for seeing the smoke, tasting the flavors and all the other things I used to love about smoking cigs!

I now get with vaping!

He not only helped me quit smoking, but intro'd me into some thing that makes it so, I can still hold on to the things that I loved about smoking cigs, without all the unhealthy aspects of it all!

I feel better, smell things better, taste things better and breath better!

Big thanks
much respect my friend, I am truly grateful

P.S. my apologies to all, I wasn't trying to spam nor promote!
just wanted him and you to know how grateful I am!

please forgive, it wont happen again!

Congrats! Feels good doesn't it???? I'll be one month analog free on Friday and am very excited, today I took a buyer out looking for homes (I'm a realtor) and didn't even vape all day and was FINE! couldn't believe it....she saw me when she picked me up taking a quick puff and asked what it was, I explained and she was really intrigued as she has smoker friends that she would love to have them quit....it was a great day and good to know I CAN go without!

Keep up the good work! Your lungs will love you for it! :O)

Heh, this kinda seems like an advertisement, no?

 

[Scottitude]

Whether it's a true and accurate tale or not, with five mentions of the vendor's store and six mentions of the vendor's name, it certainly seems like it was written more for search engine optimization than to simply join the community.

I'm jus' sayin'...

 

[Rasprotection]

Your sentence structure is impeccable you propagandist spammer.

 

[Nomoreash]

Whether it's a factual account from someone who has a knack for being redundant or it's intended as an advertisement does it really matter? If it brings someone here that can only be a good thing imo. They aren't going to read one thread and rush out and buy from that vendor just because they saw a name trying to be pounded in there head like a late night informercial without further research. Plus if it were me that it drew and I'm guessing many others I'm in Tennessee, noting personal to articvapor I'm sure the are good, haven't heard otherwise but I can think of about a dozen vendors if not more off the top of my head who are also awesome and not over 4000 miles away from me.

I agree that new members, and more importantly, new vapers are important to the growth of the community. I'm excited by the OP's enthusiasm and one post with excessive/repetitive mentions of a specific vendor isn't the end of the world; never suggested it was.

However, when you consider that 40% of all the OP's posts (so far) extol the virtues of said vendor and that this one in particular reads like it was carefully crafted for SEO, eyebrows will most assuredly be raised.

ECF rule # 13 (not to be confused with Gibbs' Rule # 13) states:

You must not use this forum for advertising. Any post that seems to have been made for advertising will be deleted. Registered Suppliers may advertise subject to compliance with their specific rules.

And the OP certainly reads more (to me) like an advertisement than a genuine appreciation for the community and vaping experience. the 40% posts with vendor reference could also be construed to be a borderline violation of the "Flooding the board with comments coming from a single point of view in multiple posts" aspect of rule # 7.

To be fair, my own comments, although in direct response to another post in this thread, even though I've acknowledged the OP's enthusiastic contribution may be considered by some to be off-topic and in violation of Rule # 9.

If it smells or looks like spam and reads like an advertisement , it may very well be one, the other, or both.

Again, I'm jus' sayin'...

It will be interesting to see if future posts from the OP share a similar focus on the vendor and his product line.

Peace and love, peace and love.

Ok all, I am not only new to vaping but also new to forums!

i had not read the rules yet when this was posted, nor was I trying to pound the name into your heads.

Just wanted him to know i am grateful and for you all to know what a great thing this guy did for me!

it wont happen again i promise!

please forgive, I wish you all the best!

congrats! I hope to be there someday too....

I think you all are horribly harsh on this guy - I often post in praise of a vendor who just gives me a decent price and a free bottle of cheap e-juice - for goodness sake!

I also do not believe his post is spam - if it was spam he would be saying things like "and he has a great variety of the best e-juice for only 14.56 for 30mgs! and the new ego passthrough for $32.95!" Obviously no one is going to buy from a vendor just because he turned on a newbie to vaping - we choose our vendors because they have the best price for something we want and a reputation for accurate delivery

Welcome DHEnthusiast and don't let you guys put you off. This is a good place to come for help with all things vaping and I hope you enjoy it here

congrates! i cant wait for my first e-cig (eGo!) ....side not this person has 11 post dont ya think if this person was spam. they would have been ban idk 10 posts ago?

I have been vaping since 1/2010. I smoked menthol cigarettes. I have tried many types of e-liquid. So far awesome vapor menthol comes close to what I like. They are similar to the camel silver with the crystals that you crush. Does anyone else have any suggestions. I have tried a couple of the halo juice but it was not quite right.

No need to forgive anyone but me and the giant leap to conclusions I made based on how perceived your enthusiastic post.

Can't really blame you, actually; if a cool local vendor hooked me up like that I'd be equally hyped on happiness and gratitude and probably just as vocal about who he is and where to find him.

To be honest, I didn't even read all the rules until I wondered how badly I was breaking them by getting a little off-topic.

Vaping is indeed a life-changing experience so keep up your excitement and understand that if I or anyone else comes off as a harsh, skeptical, overly-opinionated curmudgeon, we probably just are!
