General

Newly registered members have restrictions on where they can post new threads. More here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...721-newly-registered-members-please-read.html

The following rules apply to ALL members:

  • Firstly a general rule of thumb: If you think that a post may cause eyebrows to be raised by the forum moderators, don't post it!
  • Please try to put your topics in the appropriate forums - it's nice to have the place organized!
  • Please don't use offensive language. Some people really hate it, and this forum is for everyone.
  • Private Messages and Emails between members must never be quoted in forum posts, unless express agreement is reached between all parties to do so.
  • If you are an e-cigarette seller/affiliate/marketer, you must pm SmokeyJoe and read the 'supplier' section below.
  • Do not make any posts promoting any products other than e-cigarettes in any of the forums. Those doing so will be banned without warning and the posts deleted swiftly.
  • Please do not discuss the use of any substances other than nicotine and those related to e-smoking. Any posts made on using the e-cigarette as a means of ingesting other materials will constitute a major violation of the forum rules, and the user will be banned.
  • Racist or homophobic posts will be deleted as they are found and the member posting will be banned.


Writing reviews


  • Registered users will be added to the "full members" group after they have made 10 posts and been active on the forum for a set period of time. Only members of this group may post new threads in the review forum. This is to prevent e-cigarette suppliers coming on and mud-slinging against their competitors or writing excessively favorable reviews of their own products.
  • Please feel free to write reviews of e-cigarette products, but try to write a decent and informative piece. We've already had posts saying things like "this is the best e-cigarette - loads of smoke - better than cigarettes", which is just pointless. Try to put some detail in: tell people about the quality, give descriptions of the materials, put some photos up.
  • Rubbish reviews will just get moved to the general discussion forum or, if they are spammy, deleted.

Suppliers etc

  • We want to keep the forums clear of spam and self-promotion so.......
  • If you are an e-cigarette supplier/affiliate/manufacturer etc, you must get in touch with the forum mods/administrators to identify yourself before you start posting in the forums. Failure to do this may result in an immediate ban via IP address and Username.
  • If you are promoting any other product than e-cigarettes you must also get in touch with the team to make sure your product is appropriate for the forum.
  • You may request your website be added to the suppliers list that is maintained in the suppliers forum by getting in touch with any of the moderators or by posting a request in the thread.
  • You may not post in the review section, or make any posts which reference your own products, except in the suppliers forum.
  • However, you may put one link (no images) to your product/website in your signature line and you are free to contribute to any discussion in any forum providing you follow the above rules.
  • You must not use the tag system under any circumstances. If you do so you risk losing your posting privileges for a set period of time.
  • You must not use the chat room to promote your business. If you do so you risk losing your posting privileges for a set period of time.
These rules have been devised over time by this forum's community to ensure that the board is a pleasant and neutral place for users to meet and discuss things.

Given this fact, suppliers should be aware that going against these rules is likely to offend their very own potential customers. It should also be noted that the rules change here often as new issues are brought up, so check this post often!

Tags and Tagging


Members are encouraged to use tags to help get new visitors to relevant posts. The only rules are 1. Suppliers must not use tags, and 2. Users must not tag posts with their own usernames.

Hey SJ,

A few members had a question about this rule.

"Do not make any posts promoting any products other than e-cigarettes in any of the forums. Those doing so will be banned without warning and the posts deleted swiftly."

Could you expand and clarify?

thanks,

Sure thing - We have had a number of posts from people coming on the board and posting links to cheap cigarettes and the like.

I wanted to be pretty firm that if people do this they will be banned without warning.
 
Aloha, started e cigging about a month ago and was really frustrated. A freind of mine went back to taiwan and left me one penstyle classic, with battery , his charger, and 7 carts. The battery died on the 3rd cart, just when i was deciding to switch to e cigs. So i went to the only e cig shop here in honolulu, bought a starters kit, and the atomiser failed after 2 days. I was told that i have to contact the company on the continental usa, as he only has the full kits and no spare parts. Here in hawaii we are always in the prehistoric age, when it comes to new innovations. I looked on the internet for a supplier and stumbled on to this forum and it has been a lot of help, in getting what i need for the complete transition, from 20 t0 30 cigarettes a day for nearly 42 years, to e cigs. We are still newbies, but now we, at this small office are on our way to full time vaping. Aloha ...taxi guys

First time doing this. Is this what the kids call a blog? Anyhoo, went to elcips and have to tell you i know there are other chemicals in reg cigs as I went through major panicy withdraw. I sat on the toilet praying to my mother to help me smoke those thingsand not run out to rthe car and get thge good ones. Made it through. It was much easier for me to make the transition to those than to quit cold turkey.

Noticed someone mentioned coughing up brown pieces. That happened to me about six months in. Thought I was dying. Good to know it was a side effect of not smoking reg cigs!

I am curious about ecigs though are they supposedly better for us than the eclipse? I do experience the lung burn, obly on some puffs. Also, they seem to make me want to belch. Weird.

So frustrating new friends as no one is allowed to state if one cigarette is actualy safer than another. Drioving me mad. Been looking all over the internet. I think the eclips cigs have benzene. Do the e-cigs have that? Is there a cig that is like smoking a cig that I can get as a perscription?

All I need right now is the nicotine and the senstaion of smoking. Any advice people?

Thank you for listening.

Hi Everyone,

I am new here and I would like to ask a question about e-puffer cartridges and flavors to recommend. I just ordered starter pack with Mirabella flavor and they said I wou;ld have to order a different flavor since they were out of that flavor. I have already had my account debited and would like to get some recommendations before I order a different flavor. :confused:

Thanks,

Shelly
