Well i guess that this thread has basically boiled down to to three issues:
1) Packaging:
OEM hardware for computers has been a staple for years - essentially, experienced users/IT professionals
buy the same product in a plain cardboard box with no glossy paperwork. (Although i freely admit to being enchanted by the first time I recieve a new e-cig in the mail in its glossy box

OEM e-cigs can't be too far away...
2) Self Promotion
I recently made an order for a backup dse901 from puresmoker.com solely because his behaviour on the board impressed me so much. It could be argued ( although I am NOT ) that his participation, let alone signature, is self promotion and that Steve is a soulless paragon of capatalism run amock. Sadly, it is virtually impossible to tell which users are just corporate shills (although when reading some posts I have more then my fair share of suspicions). Perhaps threads such as this should be turned into a poll in the requests/idea section?
3) Can you catch the flu online?
No. But you can certainly lose several points of IQ watching Mrs Palin's csmpaign speaches on youtube...
Also - note to self. Get smaller fingers or a larger iphone. My apologies for the typos and lack of quotes. My sausage fingers aren't up to the task most nights. Hooray for auto-correct!
