Help - Very interested to watch the videos, but getting a "This video is private" message

[alicia74]

Hi, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have watched some youtube videos on this site, but in the thread I made videos for newbies! In particular, broke newbies...

by Automaton, there is a preview picture, but no video.
When I hit play, I get a message "This video is private". Maybe it's because the thread was closed? I wasn't logged in when I first tried, ('remember me' was off) but even after logging in and a F5 refresh, I get the private issue.
I tried searching ecf for "This video is private" but got a message that my search terms are to generic.
I tried searching youtube for one of the titles, "Buying your first juices"
but no hit there.
A google search of the ecf site showed posts which indicate the issue may be an the settings on the video, or Automaton may have removed the videos or her channel.
No harm if that is the case, I am just wondering if there is a trick I missed here.
I would have posted this question in Site Feedback and Help forum, but I am so new to the forum I cannot post there.

BTW, this forum has been so much help - amazing! I am blown away by the the ecig community.

Not promoting any company in particular, but I can recommend some great beginner videos that are on the Smokeless Image forum here: Smokeless Image

Look for the "stickie" threads in bold type in the upper half of the page. Choose from the demo or review links to see what you might like to see. Many of these were recorded by SteelJan, a very popular reviewer on YouTube. She's funny, too.

Thanks! I have been on this site and youtube most days for two weeks, so I have discovered steeljan already. She is my new hero! I just ordered a Volt Thursday, and watched ALL her smokeless image videos this morning while hoping the mail would come with the Volt. No luck with the Volt in the mail, but I did get my phoenix cartomizers today, so at least I had something to play with

Good to hear, Alicia. Welcome aboard. I started with Smokeless Image a few months ago myself. Great company. We have a great forum here also (link I gave you, but you probably already know that).

Feel free to share your experience with the other Volties. It's an extremely busy forum, should you have any issues you can ask someone there to help you by posting and likely get a response quite quickly.

Good luck.

The video's were good but I don't think they're available any longer.

Just added the smokeless image forum to my bookmarks list. That will be my Sunday morning read. There is so much information here!
Not to get all gushy, but it's the people like you that make this forum so invaluable. Thank you again
I am so excited to be dropping the stinky cigarettes after 22 years - so freeing. The patch was soooo NOT this helpful.

They aren't available ... she took them down about a year ago. And yes, they were very good.

 

[alicia74]

Ah well, another search for tomorrow...

What I liked about her videos is she gave information. She wasn't pushing a pv or a brand that she got for free and used for 1/2 an hour. Some reviews are good, some you have to watch with a grain of salt.

Lots of good information in our InfoZone. Particularly about selecting nicotine strength, the right pv for you, etc.

SteelJan gives great reviews.
