Is it just me.....

[smokingclam]

or has the amount of newcomers to this forum growing by leaps and bounds in the past week or so? Every time I look there's new names I don't reconize and I have to go through 3 pages just to see the days posts.8-o

Don't think I've ever been a member of a forum that is growing so fast as this one seems to be.

 

[Northern Bob]

Yeah, it seems that way. Course, I am probably adding to that feeling (grin) but I've been lurking for a few weeks before registering.

N.B.

 

[macpanda]

Yea I was lurking for a bit and just started posting a week or two ago. Im happy to be here and Im glad its growing

 

[TRS1988]

Yah, i lurked for a few weeks, but im one of those new names that pop up. lol.

im glad tho, more people need to know about ecigs, with the up coming raise in taxes plus the unhealthyness of smoking analouges.

I just read in another thread that the American e-cig forum is either down or gone. Could be that many of our new friends are migrating from there.

Edited to add- Actually I am new too! I just forget because I have been following the forum vicariously through my other half for months.

 

[bri1270]

I'm new...so I can't say. Love it though!! Love vaping and love the forum.

 

[smokingclam]

Well I'm pretty new to been here for about 5-6 weeks now. I'm just wondering myself if we are getting a rash of people trying to quit due to the tax increase in the next couple of weeks or are e-cigs just getting real popular all of a sudden?

I had been wanting to get an e-cig for awhile (the last 2-3 months) but I really didn't start looking into it until a few weeks ago and I found this forum to be a great resource for info ^_^ so I'm new *wave*

 

[Johnsky]

Well, I know that the ATS website just had a post in their science and technology section regarding e-cigs.
There's allot of members in that section who will look further into topics in order not to appear "ignorant" about it.

I however wound up here because I don't want to stop my nicotine intake, but I do want to stop taking in so much tar etc. I don't chewing gum (TMJ), and the patch just doesn't allow me to self regulate my intake.

E-cigs just seem like the obvious solution.

I'm making my decision on which make/supplier to go with.

Being in Canada presents some hurdles, mostly shipping, as the suppliers here neither supply the makes that I'm leaning toward, and much of their pricing is extreme.

So far I'm leaning toward either the RN4081 or the DSE901.
The RN4081 because of it's good performance in such a small package, and the DSE901 because of it's overall quality thus far.

Still can't decide. I'm a casual smoker at most, approx 10 or less cigarettes a day.

What do you think should be my first?

There was an article posted on a forum I frequent a month or so ago and it sparked my interest. I started researching and found this place and read and read until my head exploded and then came back and read and read some more until my head exploded again and then joined and purchased my first e-cig. I haven't completely stopped smoking - I still have 2 or 3 analogs per day but I am loving this new fangled device more each day.

By the time I get home from work, there is a minimum of 10 pages under "new posts". I pretty much just have to skim through them now and pick and choose what I am going to read. By the time I go through one page, another new page has popped up...lol

Smokers are looking for an escape from those analogs. We all are looking for another way. Good to see all the new people here. We all want out of analogs prison. Either to stop them or slow down. Yes the board is growing.

 

[Valgar]

This forum has become a regular browsing haunt of mine now.

Its amazing how much insight and information there can be about such a small device.

 

[V-Power]

Yeah, Hi everyone. I'm new too (first post!). I'm currently waiting for my Evo to arrive - I ordered last Thursday and it's now Tuesday - gotta say I'm disappointed it's not here yet as can't wait to try it out.

I would say the growth in the forum is due to word spreading about e-cigs. I hadn't heard of them till last week and they sound like just what we've all been wanting for ages! Growth has got to be exponential - every new vape-er will pass on the good news to several mates so the more we've got, the more we get. V-Power to the People ....

Please - Mr Postie - bring my Evo in the morning.....

And to all of you - thanks for a FAB forum and all the info

Members: 4,715, Active Members: 2,344.
That's a lot of members. Check it tomorrow, or even later today and see the numbers go up.
Just think if half the active members are all ordering supplies from one or two suppliers and you'll know why there are a lot of out of stock items.

 

[asidrave]

i too was lurking on these forums 20 minutes after i found out about e-cigs

i lurked for a good 20 minutes before i made my first post.

seems like Ive always been here....

 

[Sunshyn]

Even the bad press probably helps bring in new members. A friend of mine posted a mostly "e-cigs aren't safe" type article to facebook. Seems she was curious and figured someone she knew must have experience with them and could provide more info, which I promptly did. That prompted another friend to inquire as well.

I saw an e-cig being talked about on a tech TV show which was showing some of the new items at a tech convention. This forum was one of the first places I found when I did a search for them.

I've been here since just before xmas and it is growing at a good rate.

I am also a member of a bbq forum that was the same way. When i joined i could read all the new posts for one day in no more than two pages.
The last time i checked in there was a while back (been on here too much) but you could post in the morning and by the evening it was 3 pages back. Alas that forum has gotten so big that there was a lot of BS and politics being thrwon around. So much so that a lot of the key members split off and formed another less formal and .....y forum.

I just hope this forum can keep it's "feel" it has right now. There is a good group of regulars that i recognise and respect their opinions greatly. There is always an interesting batch of newbies coming through, some stay a few days or a week, some just keep coming back and become regulars .

Whichever way the newbies go it's good to see them here, we were all newbies once! Ask all the questions you have, the only stupid question is the one not asked.

I think it really sucks how popular esmoking is getting. I liked it better when fewer people knew about it. More popular brings more ripoff artist suppliers, higher prices and way too many hands in the pot. You would think prices would be coming down, but since the cats out of the bag, we can expect more problems.

 

[Coffee Addict]

It may suck being more popular with higher prices and ripoff artists, but then again it might bring on better, more reliable hardware.
