And so it begins: E-Cigarette Commercials

[King_Calculon]

I'm sure I'm not the first person to see this... A commercial for the "Smoke Assist" just came aired on my TV. I'm not to happy that the "free trials" are at the forefront on this. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just wish it had been a commercial for an eGo or something. Has anybody else seen commercials for e-cigarettes yet? Is it just the "free trial" scammers at this point?



Oh well. I guess I will try the smoke assist out. After all, its free!!!



Just kidding!

 

[FreakyStylie]

I've seen them too. I hate it. I can see it now . . .

It would be nice if we could raise enough money for some ECF commercials! That way people could come and make an informed decision!

Ya the smoke assist commercial has been running for quite a while here, its too bad. that and the mall kiosk that we have here, but maybe it will at leas peak some interest for people to look into.

I too get channel 19. Only time it's on our TV is when wife turns the TV on in the morning, to wake me up. I'll watch for it, I'm sure they'll have the commercial on again.
If Billy Mays was still alive, he might be hawkin' one.

If ECF wanted commercials they have the dough but it would make them look like they needed it. Word of mouth is the best advertisement there is.
Here is an excerpt from a site I checked: e-cigarette-forum.com is most populer in UNITED STATES. Estimeted worth of e-cigarette-forum.com is USD 105842.7 according to websiteoutlook

Oh, I think I just peed a little!

HI! BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE EGO!

I would love to see Janty or FSUSA do a nice commercial. Of course, regulation and taxation would likely be the result.

Oh, I think I just peed a little!

HI! BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE EGO!

Thanks for the nightmare fodder Freaky. I can already see that commercial in my head!

I have seen them on TV as well. I think it is the same gimmic for a free trial...the commerical is good. Product-highly doubtful.

American Blue Tip has been doing heavy advertising on local radio. About a year ago, Blu was doing the same thing.

Smoke assist and smoke assassin have been hitting the airwaves of Cincinnati pretty hard for a while. Before I started vaping I remember thinking WTF is this all about. I was just weirded out by the TV commercial... I was sitting there in my bathrobe, puffing on the RoughStack and all the sudden I'm watching these crazy people vaping on TV.

Just look at the Google trends page for those two, you can totally see when they do their ad campaigns!
Google Trends: smoke assist
Google Trends: blu

Apparently, you haven't checked out the cost of network TV advertising.

Not lately but I can rest assured you will enlighten me on the subject.
My point was if they wanted to they could but as the number one place now why would they need to? Word of mouth is better advertising.

Word of mouth is definitely better advertising! ECF gets just as much traffic as those places too. I'd still prefer to see what kind of commercials we could come up with on television rather than theirs!

Not only that, but word of mouth is better advertising!

I honestly think the biggest draw to ECF is those crummy el-cheapo PVs. When people are dissatisfied with them, but still resolute that they want to make it work ... they head to Google. And, BAM! There's ECF, easy to find. That route is how I got here. Word of mouth is good, but lots of us find it through Google and an inquiring mind.
LOL, nobody told me about ECF.

But, as soon as I walked in the door, a friendly crowd greeted me and told me to RUN, don't WALK from the Free Trial I had just purchased. Whewww!

Unfortunately, it's impossible to know how many people don't bother to pursue a better solution.

I agree on the word of mouth. When I started vaping I was mocked and ridiculed. Now that I have been smoke-free for a couple of months, I am getting all manner of calls, texts, Facebook messages etc. from smokers begging for more information about it. I try to direct them all here. I guess I need some of those ECF business cards...

For anyone considering purchasing an e-cig you see advertised on TV...remember...you're going to pay for that advertising in the price of the unit.

It's actually pretty hard to find this place on your own... If you are a fool like me. I kept finding all these so-called review sites that were really just advertisements for overpriced PV's. It wasn't until I started screwing around and trying to modify cartomizers for the greensmoke that I accidentally found ECF. I was very confused at first. I thought it was the best thing out there and ECF had such bad things to say about it! Then I started reading...

Yeah, me too on the cards. I feel guilty for not getting cards every time I make a purchase. After Christmas, definitely!
