This morning, Apple App Review Team called us for the review issue of our app "Vapeam".
They claimed that they will rejected all of vape apps, including but not limited to cigarettes, pipes, hookahs, and/or e-cigarettes.

That sucks! There are a bunch of good calculator apps for Android and I have a shortcut to SE on my phone that works like an app, but none that I know of have the social side that your app has. Then again I use forums for that :)

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help. If there is I'll support you any way I can :thumb:

Not really any vape related apps I would even bother downloading anyways. Almost all are vape store apps from "Vape Boss" and the odd crappy coil calculator (free, but $$$ required to get rid of ads, etc.).

Not cool that they are not allowing new apps at the App Store, but I'm not heartbroken.

P.s. I have a Mac, iPhone, multiple iPads and an Apple Watch, but still think Apple is evil.

P.p.s. Vapeam is kinda cool!:)

Thank you, bro.
Vapeam do not have vape stores and ads, no need to paid for any features or tools, just for vapers connection.
Now it could be removed anytime by Apple.

After a bit you'll just know how to wrap with each guage wire to get the coil you want without the calculator.
I havent used one in years.
except i am dyslexic, so i'd rather not trust my own math... yes i know this many wraps will give me roughly this ohm... but not the first time i do it, i know my limits.

i refused to even consider them when we needed replacement phones, my hubby got his first BB for the business (ironically they sold a white one to a mechanic, thank gods for otterboxes), i loved my keyboard on my previous phones for my dex issues... he's had his q10 for about 3 years and i've had my classic since they came out, they're a great business phone... not so great even with a 4" screen for videos... but that's what my comp is for lol.

ummm isn't that oops i blew up and caught fire phone? lmao
Ha! You're talking about the Note 7 not the Galaxy S7. The Note is basically a cloned mechanical mod with a crappy battery bound to explode at any moment. Samsung actually sent Note 7 users an anti-thermal packaging which contains like 6 boxes inside each other yet still only shipped by land not air. It was a mistake on Samsung's behalf but they still do make good phones like the S7.

I only have an iPhone because it was gifted to me by my Dad and who would say no to a gift? It makes a nice accessory in my car.

The brilliance of Apple is the inability to use many apps/features on other platforms.

My Apple journey started about 10 years ago with an iPod. Never touched an Apple product before that in my life and I have been in computer/technology sales for 25 years.

Once you have books, music, movies and paid for apps thru the Apple Store, you are basically blackmailed/forced to continue with the platform. I could switch to Android like my wife did, but too much of a pain in the .....

They are evil, but damned brilliant!
YOU are a BAD canuck!

I'm very happy that I bought a Samsung S7 Edge. I don't need any social justice warriors telling me what to do.

I applied to the Samsung Beta Program when it was initiated and I've had Android Nougat for a while now, and I can tell you that you're going to be amazed by the performance and stability when the official version is released. It's much better than Android 6, in my honest opinion, and TouchWiz X is just so smooth.

@Falco78 I tried almost every custom ROM available for the S7 Edge ever since I got it. I'm a huge fan of customization and trying out different ROMs is a bit of a passion of mine. Renovate Edge was always my favorite but recently it has been replaced by Helios, which is by far the fastest and most stable ROM I've ever used on this device.

I've never bought an apple product and have never understood why anyone would. I know they make good products, but it a mystery to me why anyone would pay a LOT of their hard earned cash for a product that then dictates how you can use it afterward. Once I buy something, it's mine and I'll do what I want with it. I avoid any devices with proprietary demands. It's the same reason I refuse to buy a kindle. I know I can convert epub files, but I just won't support this type of product.

It probably has to do with people who lack the proper knowledge and end up screwing up their devices then complaining and asking for replacements. I'm sure Apple received hundreds if not thousands of similar complaints when jailbreaks were initially introduced so they had to take necessary precautions. To give the devil its due, I believe iOS is probably the most user-friendly device for people who aren't tech-savvy or those who don't give any attention to the 'technical' side of smart phones, and my parents are an example of that since they find iOS much easier to use than Android. On another note, the Macintosh operating system is superior to Windows from my opinion and experience, and I haven't looked back since I bought my first MacBook Pro back in early 2008.

@Eskie You're right, it is a pretty and easy version of Unix. I had an S3 when it first came out and I loved it to pieces as well, and I too got the S5 when it came out and was extremely disappointed with the performance and stability of the device. I had the Exynos version which did not even have any custom ROMs or anything available for a long, long time, so yeah, that phone was a waste of money until it ended up on asphalt and I just threw it in the drawer and never looked back.

I am highly interested in the Pixel phone but we didn't receive it locally, mostly because stock Android devices aren't popular here, and also because of the foreign currency issues my country has been going through for the past couple of months, so the phone will cost more than double its retail price if it comes.

I am a fan of the stock Android experience as well, in fact I used AOSP and Google Edition ROMs on my Android devices for a long, long time because I find them the fastest and most reliable editions without all the useless bloatware. The only interface I liked and still appreciate is HTC Sense, which is just a gorgeous version of stock Android with some minor tweaks and a sick keyboard to go with it. I had the One X, One M7, and One M8, and they're all still working, but I decided to go the Samsung route for a change.
