Member Appreciation Thread

[Darrigaaz]

This thread's purpose is to thank anybody you want to for helping you in your vaping goals. Goals
may include, but are not limited to: quitting cigarettes, vaping where you can't smoke, saving money, getting rid of the smoke smell, getting your taste buds back, or any number of things that you have found to be beneficial to you during your time vaping.

Please post a thank you to an ECF member/supplier/moderator and a short reason why they've helped you at your time here at ECF. You can thank as many people as you want, in as many posts as you want, in no particular order. You can thank the same person that they last 10 posts thanked if you would like. There is no limit on how many times a person can be thanked. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to be upset they got "overthanked".

Please no negativity in this thread. If you don't agree with a previous poster's appreciation about
somebody, I'll kindly ask that you keep your trap shut.

On that note, I'll start us off.

Thank you Steve for going above & beyond in making V4L products the best they can be. Without you founding this company, I'd probably still be smoking.

Thank you dohsma (Mark) for always being there to make sure things run smoothly.

Thank you MrHyde for going on this vaping adventure with me. Having a friend to vape with sure is
great!

Thank you MaryKay for always having a great attitude no matter what.

Thank you Adrenalynn for all the useful information you've garnered and posted in the last year.

Thank you Bornagainst for making us all laugh whenever moods turn sour.

Thank you JenJen for your inspiriation and showing what true commitment is all about.

Thank you Sawlight for being the cutest lil perv around.

.... this list could go on for a long time, so I'll stop here for now. Don't feel bad if I left you out, everybody has contributed in some way, and I'm sure more people will chime in with thanks for you.

Just what Darrigaaz, I 2nd it, And I ty from the bottom of my heart

 

[Mary Kay]

I would like to thank Steve for making me try V4L batteries. He all but twisted my arm! I mean how do you resist a pink passthru? LOL
I love all the V4L staff..they have been good to me. Not only that but Mark, Wade and Chad make me laugh.
Jen Jen Is my role model!
I appreciate all the guys and gals here for being friendly, funny, informative and for letting me into your cyber lives.
Out side of V4L, I have to say the Ladies of the Women's Room keep me sane and entertained!

 

[Jani]

First I would like to thank a very sweet lady from another message board that directed me to V4L, she provided me with enough information to make me comfortable in ordering my starter kit here.

Because of the superb product, staff and this forum, I have never looked back or been disappointed. Therefore, I would like to thank all members of the V4L staff and all members of this board for helping me make a healthier, happier life for myself.

 

[lowboy]

Thanks to all the Mods that keep this forum going.
Thanks Lee1111
My son. I quit cigs several times. Only to start back
I even ticked him off about the vaping thing. Told him he was crazy and so on.
He did not give up.
I have not been anolog free totally for 3 months. Maybe a couple packs since Nov(still have 3/4's of one) .
He also got his granny to try this and she has not smoked a anolog for I think it's 2 weeks now. She was a CHAIN SMOKER to the extreme.
You are a great son Lee which I kinda doubt you will ever see this.
Thanks from Dad.

 

[JenJen]

Thank you JenJen for your inspiriation and showing what true commitment is all about.

Thank you Sawlight for being the cutest lil perv around.

.... this list could go on for a long time, so I'll stop here for now. Don't feel bad if I left you out, everybody has contributed in some way, and I'm sure more people will chime in with thanks for you.

Well, as Eeyore would say "Thanks for noticing!" I do wish however that I could have been the cutest lil perv around instead of Sawlight! Guess I will have to work harder!

I myself would like to thank Steve and Mark and all the wonderful people of V4L for keeping the good stuff coming! Love you all! And to all the people on this board that inspire me, encourage me, make me laugh, laugh with me, laugh AT me, and who all have a part in making up the best darn group on a message board ever a huge THANK YOU! I never dreamed giving up the smokes would be this easy, and this much fun and I owe it all to you!

 

[EleanorR]

Thanks to all the V4L staff for their great products and services, and a special shout-out "Thank You!" to Tim at CS for his cheery and effective helpfulness.

Thanks also to the members of this here forum, who both inform and entertain this moody noob.

Oh, and thanks Darri for starting this post -- what an excellent idea.

Mary Kay - You probably don't realize it, but when I was poking around asking questions about V4L you said a few words that hit me like magic. You said, "Just jump in and get one, you won't regret it." So I did, but those words gave me the push I needed. I wonder if you even remember? I'll never forget

Snow Dragon - I thought you were a chick when you had a girl avatar. Now I know you just like the female form, and I can't blame ya. Thanks for the cool videos.

Jamvector - The first guy to say yo and thank me for my Beatles website.

Steve and the Vapor4Life Crew - Just awesome to have them so involved on the forum.

EVERYONE ELSE in the V4L Family. My fingers would fall off if I tried to name y'all!!

 

[Mary Kay]

I do remember Max..you were hemming and hawing and trying to figure out every angle...LOL After a while..I just wanted you to take the plunge! Would I lie to you?

 

[Mary Kay]

You know..I probably wouldn't post so much if Addy, Jam, Snow, Max and Darri would not start so much trouble..it's fun to play along! Also who can resist Keyzy and Jen's Cheerleading! Glad they do it cause too much of that jumping up and down wears me out!

 

[sawlight]

Steve and Mark go without saying! These guys are on top of it! Sorry I blow up your PM boxes so much, just trying to keep you guys a step ahead!
Mary K, "miss perky" for sure! Thank you so much for all the pep talks and constantly being so jovial, even when I'm not!
Kezy, what can I say, "miss enthusiastic", ALWAYS on top of things, always cheerful and VERY tolerant of stupid newbie questions! As well as the mayhem I create!
Jen Jen, gives us all something to strive for! More generous than many of you will ever know, and always encouraging to everyone.
Pawpaw, MAN! I can't express my gratitude to this man enough! Nor will I embarrass him, but those that don't know, he's some of the best people you could ever hope to meet!
Addy, this poor lady, thank you so much for being so damn smart and putting up with my stupid questions! As well as everything else!
Darri, for giving me someone to play with when everybody else ignores me!
Jeffree, "Mr support system" himself!
I'm forgetting people here, I know it and I'm sorry, my minds a lot busy at the moment!

 

[Morandir835]

This is going to be a somewhat long list.... A big thank you to everyone here, every part is needed to make this dysfunctional family work. There are a few though who deserve some special praise (these are in no particular order except for the first one):

Steve, Mark, Wader, and everyone else who works for this fine company. You're the reason this community exsists. Your constant dedication and enthusiam to customer service and product development is why V4L is the greatest. Thank you.

Ms. Mary Kay you have been a favorite of mine since before I joined offically. You're one of the kindest people on this board. You put up with us crazies, join in the fun, and are always there to help anyone when they need it.

SnowDragon sir, what can I say. You're a legend in this room. I'm honored to be able to call you a friend.

Sawlight sir, I can't wait for the day we get to hang out, compare battle scars, and have a 2 man drinking and vape fest. I just hope we don't run out of alcohol before we get drunk.

Ms. Clover, you have cracked me up on many occasion. You crazy, intelligent, and a wonderful person. Thank you.

Ms. Sally, you are one of a kind my dear. I'm proud to call you a friend.

Jeffree sir, you my friend are the greatest alien known to man. I don't know what we did to attract you to this dumb planet, but thank you for landing. May the VG forever flow.

Maxwell sir, what can I say? You're the perfect mix of intelligence, paranoia, and Willie Nelson. Thank you sir for all the laughs.

Ms. Starsong, you are one of the greats. You may not know this about yourself, but you are one of the funniest people in here. I literally LOL quite often to your posts. Thank you.

Ms. Gowsgirl, of all the newer members lately, you are one of my favorites. You belong here, that's the easiest way to put it.

Paw Paw sir, you are another legend of the board whom drew into V4L back when I was a lurker. I only hope you'll be on more soon, but take all the time you need to yourself.

I think that's everyone, if I missed anybody I will go back and add or do another reply. I apologize now just in case. Sorry for the long post, and as I said earlier, thank you to everyone here...

 

[plantlvr]

Everyone here on this, the V4L forum, has always been a source of encouragement, information, laughs, and so much support. But a special shout out to MaryKay and JenJen when I started over a year ago and of course to the MAN himself Smilin Steve!

 

[jeffree]

During the past 10 years, the only forums I've belonged to have focused on recording music. A lot of nice people, but nothing like here. The are so many decent people here, each with a distinct personality but sharing that common sense of purpose and support. I can't think of a single person I haven't enjoyed in some ways, even those more alienatic than me. Thank you, all, for making my life healthier and happier! I'm including Steve and the V4L crew here, too, of course.

And I don't mean to pile on, but I have to agree with my friend Mr. Morandir about Mary Kay. If this forum family has a Godmother, then that's MK. I noticed her posts, always so full of light and warmth, even before I joined the family, and I feel the same way now. A special nod to you, MK, for all you do.

Here's to everyone reading...

 

[DawnsFolly]

Thanks first to Steve who made this all possible. The best products available with the best CS! AND he takes the time to talk to us here. Thanks too for hiring the best people. It wouldn't be the same without Dave, Wader, Mark, Tim and the rest of the office & warehouse crew. The family here on the forum is well ... another family alright. Old, new, young, silly, serious & everything in between. Thanks to you all for being here.

 

[gowsgirl]

Thank you!!!!!!

Steve-for having such a great company first and foremost!

Wader- for always answering questions and making me feel like I am never 'out of the loop'!

Mary Kay- for being such a sweet, kind, and fun-loving person!

Morandir835- for being such an amazingly honest, truly crazy, and wonderful help to me...your personality reminds me fondly of my husbands

SnowDragon- for making me laugh, for making me feel beyond welcome here, and for making that wonderful video that helped me start refilling...you are a fast favorite of mine!!

Maxwell- for being another great person and the wonderful words of encouragement early on

Sawlight- for being a sweet perv right from the start...boy, can you make a girl feel welcome

Keyzy- for being so kind as to answer the many questions and concerns that I have had in my short time on this forum!

My husband, even though you may never see this- for letting me go crazy with my fun, new addiction. You have always supported me through anything and this is no different. You make me so proud to call you my husband. I love you and cannot wait to see you....ok, ok, and I miss the 'naps'

and a BIG thank you to all of whom I have forgotten. You guys have all been such a big support to me through this and with this deployment especially, I truly appreciate each and every person I have spoken with on here. On no other forum have I felt so welcome and happy to log on!

 

[Morandir835]

I knew I'd realize who I left off:

Ms. Eleanor, you may not post much, but it's quality over quantity.

Ms. Keyzy, how could I forget the other member of who I call the big three (they are the ones who made me see how special of a place this forum is and how great V4L is back when I was a lurker). You are a truly wonderful person. Thank you for all you do.

And to Ms. Gowsgirl, how do you put up with him?

 

[gowsgirl]

Well my dear Morandir, he says I am the only one that can and will...apparently I have the patience of a saint

 

[Clover~]

Aww thanks Morandir! I really appreciate you as well! I very much enjoy people with your sense of dark humor Im glad Im not the only one with a dark side on this forum, though Im sure many of you have a dark side, lol! Z?
Im bad at doing these kinds of things cus I dont have a great memory. I love all of you so much and you all have been so helpful to me. I dont feel very popular in "real life" but on here I feel kinda cool. You guys remember me and think Im funny thats why Im on here so much I guess.
Wade helped me out near my beginning as a vapor in a pm about a bad order. Ive been an advent soldier for this company since. Ive gotten more people to join us and quit smoking.
MaryKay, you're one of my favs. You just make me smile, lady!
Maxwell, you're one of my people. Im sure I was in the 60's in my previous life.
theres so many others...Saw, Keyzy, oh you know....all the people that post on a daily basis and make this place what it is! You guys have all been mentioned quite a few times already!
Love you guys!
