How many American members are out there?

[marian00]

Hi Guys:

Just curious. I am from California and joined this forum shortly after it went up. I have always enjoyed the people here. Even when I was recovering from surgery for several months and couldn't participate in this forum, I still got a lot of pleasure, education, and good tips from reading what everyone else here posted.

When I first started posting, this forum consisted of mostly UK members. if I'm not mistaken. Then surely but slowly Americans and other nationalities started joining in on the fun. The more, the merrier!!

I joined the American e-cigarette forum a week or so ago, but it just doesn't seem to have the oomph or "steam" that this one has. I've posted a few messages over there, but there doesn't seem to be as much traffic as there is here. I mean, this forum has tons of personality, which I LOVE!!!

My question is: Are there any American members on this forum that do not know about the American forum or just prefer to stick to one forum at a time? Or do you belong to both like me?

I plan to use both forums; however, I can tell the American forum is kind of behind on what's going on in the e-cig industry. Like we are all in first grade and they are all in kindergarten. I want to go over there and help them out with my knowledge and experience, but I don't want to appear as a know-it-all party-crasher.

Just my thoughts. Anyone want to add to them?

And, Moderator, Smokey -- If I have broken any rules about talking about another forum (no link provided), please feel free to delete this post and to severely admonish me for my no-no.

I agree, Nazareth, that the setup is very nice on this forum. Are you from the USA, if you don't mind my asking?

I am a member of both forums. The ecig buyers guide is pretty cool.

I think I like this one more only because of the "cross borders" appeal. We can talk and relate to fellow esmokers EVERYWHERE, and its not just limited to the USA. Couldn't imagine a forum with out the likes of all the UK, USA, Singapore, members ... I think that's why this place really does well ... its for EVERYONE!

I'm on both, but don't visit the other one often.

What can i say, this is my home.

 

[KatyS]

I am on both also, but this is the main place I visit. I seem to find my way around on this site easier that the USA one.

 

[Nazareth]

Yep- From U.S of A

I am from the US as well and am on both forum's but mainly hide out here...

US also. Member of both forums but check this one out much more than the other. I did find a guy that works at the same place I do on the "e-smokers in your area" board but he's here too.

I'm just more comfortable here

 

[dablackanarch]

I'm from the US (Seattle) and I'm not on the other forum. Here, Naz, Emp, Rat and Leaford give out more information, tell way more funny stories and anecdotes and have influenced my buying decisions more than any other place I've been. This is my e-smoke home on the web.

From the usa here. Buffalo new york... waiting for it to start snowing again... Also a member of both forums... This one is alot easier and friendlier... Also more traffic on this one.

 

[marian00]

Wow! How cool to hear from each of you USA cits. Nice to meet you all. And I agree that meeting others from countries around the world is what draws me to this forum. Our e-puffing/smoking hobby/habit is something that we all have in common. And cancer caused by smoking crosses all barriers, thus this forum is so important to the world, for which I'm very grateful.

So thank you, moderators/owners. I appreciate your efforts.

I too, am on both boards and from the USA.

I've learned more here, about e-cigs and e-smoking, than anyplace else.

I think the other board is great too, but feel like my role there would be more as marian00 SHOUTED about, in that I'd be more of an information giver, than receiver.

Now that I've garnered a little more experience in dealing with e-cigs on a daily basis, I plan on participating at a higher level on both boards.

LOL......plus, I'm told that others are of the opinion that my avatar is both "disgusting and an insult to the other female posters here"!

So, I can either change or do away with my lovely avatar, which unfortunately doesn't bounce like it does on other boards,.....oh it's so cool!,.......or I can be insulting / disgusting and post more.

Being the CEO and President of the "I don't need anyone's approval corporation of America", I've chosen the latter.

Expecting snow already? I'm on the West Coast and still have to keep the air conditioner on. Too hot!!! I have lived in states that snow (Washington), and I surely do miss it, especially at Christmastime. So beautiful. Stay warm, StevoG.

LOL!!! Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you're going to be participating in both.

Speaking of avatars, do you know why sometimes I see them on my screen and other times I don't? Earlier this evening I could see mine and everyone else's and now I can't. I'd love to see your "disgusting" avatar

I'm from the US and didn't know there was a US forum. Just found this place and stopped looking. Great bunch of interesting people.

Not sure.....may check your security settings but that would not explain why you could see them before but not now.

Sounds like your computer may be a little squirrely or just your browser.....I use Firefox as my default and not IE.

You may want to download and give it a try.

But be forewarned......another member here is of the opinion that my avatar is so DISGUSTING, and INSULTING that they were compelled to PM me.
Righteous Indignation, never ceases to amuse me!

Live in the US. Didn't know there was another forum. No matter to me as the folks here are delightful and there are more posts than I can keep up with.

Without all the info posted by the folks here I would have quit this 'e-cig project'. I thought I'd just give one 'a try'. It didn't taste right & it didn't work right. Thanks to the folks here--> Bickford's and smoke juice and clean-well-working atomizers, all is well now.

Thank you all & to the Forum owner as well, Kudos, Barbara

 

[leaford]

I mostly stick to this one because it's more active. I think that's what most people do, which makes kind of a viscous circle.

No snow here yet. We have our air on too.. In buffalo we joke about snow all the time because we get real bad winters here. Sometime 7 feet of snow from lake effect. It usually snows around the end of oct or middle nov
