One of the big things I will be looking for once we launch the new site is feedback from customers for what info is necessary being a new user. I have quite a bit of content already, but we will always be looking to improve and refine it.

I want to see people get off cigarettes as much as anyone, and prefer they do it at V4L. I think most of us feel the same. You can count on us Mark. ;)

That's so totally uncharacteristic for you!

Thanks for that, but I do flub it every now and again.

What actually separates a traditional scientist, though, is that I publicly double-check (or defend) my work and if I did flub it, I'm the first to acknowledge it, publicly and consistently.

It's easy though - I don't have to do it very often. ;)

I second the recommendation to include a variety of different flavors AND nic levels in a starter kit. I was sure I'd need a high nic level when I started because lots of people on this forum, and elsewhere, seem to be vaping 24 & even 35mg regularly and I was a relatively heavy smoker but I turned out to be VERY wrong about this.

If I hadn't specifically requested a variety of nic levels & flavors from my first supplier and learned by trial & error with these that the TH on a KR808D is far too strong for me at anything higher than 6mg, I may have given up vaping entirely right off the bat.

I agree, think that would help a lot of people as well. I'm starting over again and thought 36mg would kick my .... and take away the cravings because it's so strong. Not only is it not working, I think I'm getting sick from it. My next batch is 24mg, where I settled in last time. It's a rough learning curve for sure.

Addy: I worked for an odd fellow a number of years ago, he pulled me in the office to chat with me. "Now you are a really smart person, really smart, but you know what the problem with smart people is? They screw up all the time!" I never really understood what he was trying to say, but that statement always stuck with me.

I understand the reference fine, I just didn't get what he was after in that context, I never really got any of his metaphors very well. He'd always start off with "Hey, I've got a funny story..........." that had nothing at all to do with the subject matter and after 10 min, of useless anecdotes, he would finally tell what was really on his mind.
I HATE shoes, just loathe them anymore, they hurt my feet, hurt my back, make my feet smell bad etc. I live in sandals and wear boots when I'm doing something dangerous. Snow on the ground, tearing down a house, ripping up concrete, I wear sandals, it's just how I roll.
I was working for him as a lawnmower mechanic, it's more complicated than you may think, and wore sandals everyday to work. This troubled him greatly! So I had to listen to "funny story" about a painter using the wrong colors and the painting turning out beautiful in the end, so he could tell me he wanted me to buy some tennis shoes to wear to work. Really odd duck!
