Well that was an entertaining read. Remarkable how fast folks can get spun up over a troll trying to accomplish exactly that.
Well if it was indeed trolling it is by far the best I've ever seen.

Remember a while back when I said one of my DNA200 boards died? Well, I finally sent it off to EvolvRMA last Wednesday...

Their turn-around time is lightning fast!!! :eek: I didn't even get a chance to confirm via my UPS tracking number they received it before I got an e-mail notification that they shipped a repaired/replacement board out to me.

So yeah, I've kinda been off the ECF grid for whatever reason...DNA60, -75, and -250s?!?!

So has anyone seen A Billion Lives yet? Looked for local listings on showtimes near me & could not find it at all.

There was only the premiere release here in the states last month in Milwaukee. They are working on getting it released to other venues and theaters. They are looking for folks to help spread the word and request your local theaters to show it, I made calls to all the theaters around here, a couple said others had also called so the word is getting out. If you sign up to buy tickets when it comes to a theater near you it would really help, they are looking to sell 100 tickets for each theater willing to show it. Sign up, it's non-binding, but they expect you will follow through and buy the tickets if you sign up.

So the bottom line is that he has no distribution deal and large theater chains are not interested in showing the movie. We waited all this time for this movie to arrive and save vaping as we know it only to have it be a financial disaster that no one will ever see. Wonder how much pressure was placed on the theater chains to kill the movie, for that is surely what they have done.

This movie needs to be immediately posted on YouTube since it will obviously be a theatrical failure or have a dvd release now so we can get it out there where it might make a difference.

I realize this is going to sound a bit bad but I have been checking usenet lately for it as well as the net in general.

This guy doesn't care about the subject matter. What he cares about is the financial success of his film & Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, Congress & the Presidential Campaigns have obviously buried it until at least after the election cycle so it will be much too late for largest government corruption scandal in human history to make a difference. If it is shown, Hillary won't like it at all.

Intriguing take on a Mizer Mod for single coil setups:

Aromamizer Single Coil Set-up With a TWIST

Just gave this a go with seven wrap 26ga ni200, 4.3mm id coil, rayon, coming in at .09 ohm. I didn't block any of the holes, I pulled some fibers between the posts and set the wick over them. Easy to reset the post and easy to build, took a little fussing with the wick but not too bad. I have the temp set at 475, nice vapor and flavor, looking forward to seeing how it goes. :thumb:

The way the American Overlords can manipulate the media is just amazing!

I'v been looking too, this is the most elusive documentary in history!

You really can't blame the guy he made an investment, he want to see a return first, then for the message to get out :( After all he's another business man, with investors to answer to :(

Then he should have nailed down the Distribution Deal & gotten it out there long ago. Instead he premiered this movie more than a few months ago. Even had a private screening for Members of Congress before promptly selling out the vaping community with a back room deal to forego release. If he was trying to make money he would have had the movie out there. He is making a lot more money by sitting on it without release.

While certainly plausible, I would really hate to find out that was the reality!!!!

I realize most that participate in this thread are >30 and maybe this doesn't apply across the vape communities in your area? But if a billion lives only needs to sell 100 to secure a screening in a city, I'm shocked every vape store in America hasn't done that already, to help save their business.

I know I would buy a ticket. I bet y'all would all buy tickets.

I've considered driving up to OKC for that showing, but can't believe 100 people in Dallas don't (won't) buy tickets?

I agree a pay per view release on YouTube, DVD, or something may be his only course to recoup some money. I can't buy a ticket if it's not playing in my area. I can pay $9.99 for a youtube screening.

Sad really.
