Mornin y'all. My quitting experience was similar to Rave's. As soon as I got a decent product that worked, it was like a switch just flipped in my head and I said "I can do this". This being ecigs. I went from having bronchitis/pneumonia 3 times a year to not seeing a doctor for 2 years and I feel great. I went to the doctor recently for a physical and my doctor told me that I would have pink lungs again in a few more years. She said she had 5 patients that used ecigs, had quit smoking, and all had very positive results.

Uncle - Don't you ever "zip it"! Your excellent suggestions were enhancements ... what El and some of us are discussing was a correction.

You know what - after thinking about it - I am amazed and find it quite funny at how many people are commenting and more concerned with the difference of a "E' over an "A" being used in that Animated Video than (since it is being used in a comparision ;) ) some of the other "issues" I mentioned in "My" Review and the suggestions I made about some possible improvements and/or modifications that should be made to the Video before it is posted or put online for others to see . . .

Nitty nite folks sleep tight.... Lol. Um yes it's olden day saying here when things go wrong we say they "went pear shaped" or "bellied up" or ".... hit the fan" LOL
Initially I turned to vaping because I was going broke... Felt like crap and was starting to wake up in the morning with breathing/ coughing attacks that were blocking my airways.
Oo ooo I have a pic to cheer you all up but it's on my phone.... Stay where you are I'll be back . Lol

Rotten day. I told my branch chief I was not a mind reader. Ten minutes after I was supposed to be gone for the day, my phone rings and the caller ID says branch chief. I kept on walking, I'll deal with it in the morning. I have a migraine.

night all

I'm with El. Than than than NOT then. Oof. Makes me cringe, too. Please, I beg of you. "Vapers for the preservation of the English language" :)

YES! YES! YES! :rickroll:


I share your concern. I think it may be due to the pride we feel in promoting SmokelessImage to our friends and we want their Image to be as impeccable as their products and service.

Well, that and wanting not to contribute to the general Babel of poor/incomprehensible English we see or hear EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Sigh. (I want my civilization back. :()


I love it! A new vapers' organization? I'll join! And I think it should be vapers when talking about the people who vape, not vapors, as you so often see.

YAY! And I agree -- "vapors" are what us Southern ladies get whenever we hear (or think we're about to hear) really BAD news! :laugh:


Wow, cool video! But sorry, Imagine - I have to agree with the others. Doesn't make me cringe, but typos on ads and stuff make a company look really cheesy and unprofessional - wouldn't want that for SI.

Also, I would change the smoke without the "smoke" to "smoke" without the smoke. It's the first "smoke" that you're not really doing, so that's the one that should be in quotes.

Excellent catch, Cindy!! You are so right!

Don't feel bad, Uncle. Ten people "liked" your improvements, including me (and I said so in my Post #6467 about this issue). But Proudlion nailed it: there are ""enhancements" (which are good), and then there are errors (which really need correction). And Wuzznt, I aint never seed u make no sirius bad Engrish misteaks! :lol:


El, we have found our people. :)

Indeed, miss kittypie, it looks as if we have! :laugh: When is our first meeting? :D

Rut roh rut-roh rut-roh RATS . . . :unsure: I sure hope all goes well for you on Friday! (Perhaps Branch Chief was calling to apologize??)

Uncle, I agree with the suggestions you made, but that would mean remaking the entire video. I thought the simple change of one word might be doable, but not such vast changes as you proposed. I do think they should include a statement that e-cigs are only for adults. That might also be doable, right at the end, or something. Maybe, if they don't want to hire the guy who did the voice-over, they could just put it in print. I was thinking of a practical solution that they might actually consider. I bet they don't want to redo the entire video.

Let Imagine do the voice. I have been wondering what it would sound like after all this digital contact we have with her daily... ;)

It would be fun to hear her, but the voice-over was so smooth that I think they hired a professional. That's an aspect of the video that no one had a problem with. Unless Imagine is a pro and has studied acting or something, it might be best to stick with the guy who did it. Think of those late-night TV commercials, where the owner of a company gets on the air to pitch his product. He sounds like an amateur, and he is, because maybe he sells good mattresses or whatever, but he doesn't do a good voice-over.

Imagine, please don't take this wrong. I'm sure you have a lovely voice, but for a number of reasons, I bet SI will opt to stick with the original voice-over.

I hope Imagine will show our comments to her boss or whoever is in charge of making the video and then let us know what was said. I know she thought they'd want to go with it as is, and that's probably a financial concern. However, if they hired a script writer to do the text, and that person allowed the misspelling, they might be able to get that person to absorb the cost of changing that one word on the video (if proofreading the script was in the contract). From what little I know about it, video editing like that (changing then to than) would be fairly simple, so it shouldn't cost much, and the advantages of having everything spelled right would really be enormous, IMHO.

Lol I have a bit of a ny accent when i talk haha

I think the voice over was great it was a professional :p

We are having them change the then to than ... the "smoke" i believe they are keeping the same way...it is to emphasize that it is not smoke ...but vapor...

was there another grammar comment I missed?

Also as this will be on our main page.. it will be age restricted there... anyone know how to age restrict on youtube?

Yay! Imagine, you did it! You got them to make the change! I'm so happy. I really think SI made the right choice to make the video as professional as possible. It really says a lot about a company that will go that extra mile to be sure everything is right. That one little change will make a huge difference in your image.
