New site - VapeRank.com

[MonsterTKE]

Hello everyone,

As a semi novice vaper I was often disappointed trying to search for juices, they usually wind up pointing to a bunch of youtube links. Unhappy with this I decided to use my Web skills to put together VapeRank | E-Juice Listing it is now, as of 4 A.M. EST live on the web.

Currently it is in an open-beta stage but my original Inspiration (should be) 100% working and complete. You can add juices, sort them by type, vote them up or down and comment.

I am 100% married to this project, and hope to hear many suggestions, bug reports and any Ideas anyone has to offer.

In addition to what is available now, I plan to add, in the next several updates...

• Hardware and vendor ranking.
• A never before seen custom banner system (My original endeavors into PHP was banner generation).
• User management, profiles etc.
• An expanded juice listings including Sorting by price, best voltage, and best carto/atomizer.
• And many more big and little additions that a site like this will take on as it grows.

Hopefully this helps the community and I hope to hear any feedback.

Cool idea. I'll bite

Oops and goofed. I sent you an email but, on the submission page, I thought name meant mine. Maybe you should call that first field juice name. sorry. duh on me!

 

[MonsterTKE]

Lol, My wife told me to change that yesterday, I just hadnt pushed it to my version control server. Its fixed now. My next major addition is the beginnings of user management, so you can see the things you've posted and edit them if needed.

 

[angel755]

Awesome! That was quick! great service ) Thanks! Ya...I'm sure she said "some noob will come along and put their name in there" lol

I must be missing something but I can't figure out how to register on your site?
The "submit" tab just opens a log in window but without registering first a log in won't work.
I think it's a neat idea!

Great idea! I bookmarked it! I'll try to add some reviews for you soon. I guess it will also let me keep track of my own rankings so I can remember what I thought of a certain juice as I have been trying a lot of them!

Good Luck with the site!

Oh never mind, I found it. If you hit "Log In" the "Register" option is just below to log in boxes, next to "Forgot Password." It's a little hard to find, though.

 

[MonsterTKE]

There is a link in that window that says "register".

I actually started working on the User management portion a few days ago, But I got sidetracked trying to make sure the rest of the site worked correctly. I figured I would launch it with the first major feature set in place to see what breaks.

I have been working on the user back-end again for the past hour and a half, I should have an update out in a day or so.

As Im writing it, it will basically mirror the front-end only just showing your submissions, ranked by votes (Now you'll know if you were on to something).
With an edit button that will take you to a form page to edit or delete the submission, probably up to 48 hours after posting, then it will be permanent.

Thanks for the feedback!

I cleaned the login/register form up a bit to make it more obvious that those are links. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys I pushed out an update, Including a comment counter (makes it a little more obvious how to add comments) as well as some bugfixes.

User Management is in the works and will probably be pushed out later today or tomorrow. After that is banner generation.

VapeRank Again here is the site, and I look forward to hearing any suggestions anyone has.

Will register and check it out after work...in the mean time.... "Way to go!!" Love the idea and thank you for the work you are putting in on this !!

 

[Leviathann]

Sounds like a cool idea. Do you have anything in place to prevent people from abusing the vote system?

Yes, in the sense that it can't be easily be bot-ed, due to the reCaptcha check on registration. Im mostly following reddits model for voting, though if I see multiple accounts from the same ip or a lot of cookie resets for certain accounts I will take measures to stop it.

Thanks. Im currently wrapping up a project that I spent the better part of a year on, so I felt like it was time to do something cool for my new vice in the meantime.

 

[bodrell]

OK, I've tried twice to register (once I figured that part out LOL) but haven't received a confirmation email, it's been about 24 hours?

 

[bodrell]

Third time's the charm! Tried again just now and finally got a confirmation. I'm in!

 

[MonsterTKE]

Hmm, sorry about that. I use google apps for mail, usually they are very good about sending mail and actually not having it caught up in the spam filter.

I just looked at the site again after a couple weeks and noticed the number of votes are still very low. It might be favorable to remove the registration requirement and move to an IP bound voting system.
