Now I have no intention of poking fun or being mean, and I'm always impressed by people who speak more than one language. My own weak attempts at Spanish probably sound pretty funny in Mexico ...

But I occasionally do proofreading for business websites and official correspondence, and tend to notice typos and questionable grammer and syntax ...

So I'm Googling for a source for a replacement battery for an Ovale Elips, and find a Chinese website offering the unit in bulk. I swear I have not edited one word, just copied and pasted some of the more humorous segments describing the product ...

I surely hope that no one takes this seriously, especially the "Locations" list ... :shock:

("oil spill" made me scratch my head, but the reference to "smoke bombs" finally made me snort coffee on my keyboard) ... :oops:

You know, this type of obvious inept translation makes me glad that I buy my eliquid from a buddy that lives 5 miles away. I know they're trying and I applaud that(I could never even learn mandarin), but if I read a description of my RY4 that said it wouldn't cause an oil spill......I may just pick up an analog.

Hey sweetie! I remember you as well! :) Glad to see you're still around! After the day I've had I needed that laugh!

Oil spills! Smoke bombs! Gas sensing switch control!! I'm scared to put my lips on one of those 'Elips' hehehe
Thank you my friend! You have no idea how much I needed that chuckle!
I will most certainly let you know if I stumble on anything that tops this one:laugh:

Electronic cigarette with battery pole connection and then head into the computer or a USB adapter, access adapter, directly into the wall plug charger
Full charge, the light turned from red to green
It is suggested to inhale after the battery is fully charged
It is recommended to store the battery in a cool and dry environment, handle the battery with great care, never drop or throw the battery against a hard surface

Yes, by all means avoid this juice. It will improve your health, but unfortunately also makes you a dull and uninteresting person as a side effect. Local juices are the way to go ...:thumb:

A long time ago, eons before Google even existed, I had a "thing" that came with an instruction manual. Said instruction manual was leading me down the path of "The way of connection" to "Insertion of the golden finger"...

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what my thing was that required "insertion of the golden finger"? (And you better keep in clean kids.)
