Prize winners announcement thread!

[Panorama911]

Unfortunately all the prizes came to my home, I will get them out to the winners soon after I take them all for a test drive!

 

[Zippo3]

if you need help testing all the products let me know, I'll be glad to help out

 

[Mizzegirl]

Thanks RaceGun, but if it wasn't for this site, and people here like you I'm not sure if I would have made it, and I can't light one up because I would hate to have to restart my days quit counter

OMG Zippo that was me too! I also hated to think I wasted money so I stuck with it and I am going on 4 yrs! Congrats 1 month is awesome! I know for me I was already feeling better after no-stickiest for a month and it only gets better!

I had a woman approach me when I was playing a public venue as a teen. She asked if I wanted to tech guitar and I paused for a moment, thinking about the fact that, at that time, I knew (!) that music would be my life. Teaching music is following that path, right? So I said OK and agreed to meet her at her music store in Salem (the capitol city of Oregon). She showed me the curriculum and the the music, at which point I admitted I couldn't read music.

I should mention that I'd been teaching moderately advanced guitar players how to play lead guitar for a couple of years but she was not impressed.

This woman said , "Oh, so you taught yourself." "Yes," I confessed, and have continued to be an autodidact, to which she responded, "You are a product of unskilled labor."

I have proudly said so ever since. I am, indeed, a product of unskilled labor. Yeah, baby, I taught myself.

Wow I guess she never heard of Hendrix or Keith Moon or Jeff Loomis? All self taught!

Jeff Loomis

I never heard of Jeff Loomis. Guessing I just got lucky, huh?

Maybe! Heavy Metal band Called -Nevermore!

 

[VapingTurtle]

Maybe! Heavy Metal band Called -Nevermore!

Yeah, I looked him up... the heavy part is why I suggested I got lucky.

 

[Mizzegirl]

Figured that not my types of music either but my nephew listens to it! So I am unfortunately aware!

They say you increase your chances of successfully quitting smoking by using a combination of NRT(in this case vaping) and support. This place is the ultimate combination of technical and moral support. Have questions about your gear? Questions about liquids? Questions about side effects? Questions about what you're feeling? Need to talk about smoking? Need to talk about dual use? Want to share a milestone? Need to talk about anything to keep your mind off of smoking? Want to talk about how you're not doing well without being judged?

This place, and more importantly the people here, will be there for you, and that is beautiful.

Perfect !

Wow, never thought of it like that but SO true. To you, and all those that help each other:

I am way behind in the reading of this post - took a 4 day trip over to San Diego CA from outside Phoenix, AZ - but you're right, I think, they're not done with sharing everything with us that was donated for that purpose.... and yes, it takes us awhile to read through the posts and enjoy the fellowship of those on this thread, but when we left CA Saturday morning, they hadn't yet finished with the winning folks and their gifts (notifications and postings).
Sorry you are having a problem with this - I know life can get in the way sometimes of things we'd like to enjoy quickly.
Hope things smooth out for you soon!

Hulamoon is right (of course!) -- there are LOTS of contests to enter here at ECF. And your chances of winning are probably a bit better in those smaller contests. Here is an ECF link to some of the action in that area: E Cigarette Suppliers Forum | E-Cigarette Forum
The vendors here are very generous and the more activity they get, the better the prizes become. Hope that helps some!

I haven't tried to enter any contests but this 15 mil posting thread - thanks for sharing the links - you're right, some interesting give-aways being offered!! I'm so far behind in reading now, it'll take me some time to catch up!! Lost another day's posts by driving back to AZ yesterday after visiting San Diego CA for a graduation of a grandchild from High School (what a caoticly LOUD 'do' that was for this 70+ yr old! in San Ysidro High School) haha... but tis fun to see what's been going on here, for sure!! xoxoxo

While not my personal style (I'm old), I rather like moderate doses of heavy metal guitarists although many play similarly (using the same scales). Jeff Loomis was getting some nice chunky low notes on that video. I noticed he's using a seven-string guitar - that's where the extra low 'chunk is coming from.

If your nephew likes shredding style guitar (and particularly if he plays at all), you might suggest Paul Gilbert. A self-effacing character who has many lesson videos on YouTube. Another player worth a listen is Vinnie Moore who taught Joe Satriani.

Vape on, y'all!

Congratuvaptions to all the current winners. Awesome list of prizes.

Congrats to you for 9 days!! I look back and can remember still thinking whether this vaping will do the trick or not getting off the stinkies - and now, 2 yrs later, it's really phenominal how it has and I'm still celebrating conquering that beast!!

Don't forget to spend some time on ECF sharing how things are going and issues you may run up upon! This group is awesome in the help they can provide, the experience, and the knowledge and just plain really caring how it goes for you, too! I'll be eternally grateful for the folks here and the help they've provided me! hugs to you, NancyB

I'm hoping there's a few more winners I'm really crossing my fingers for that wizard labs prize we need to get our selves some suppliers ASAP hahaha

Sorry, when I won a runners up spot on the 2nd list, the Wizard Labs gift was not on my list to look at and choose from... I wouldn't know what to do with that much 'base' tho for myself... I'd just have to give it away to others in thanks (grin).
There were still over 60 donations to choose from, in all different categories too - some for newbies, some for old timers, some for DIYers and some for folks to try out new blends.... like I said quite an array to be able to look at and choose from!! fyi note: I only picked 6 of 10 that I was allowed (in the end ONE gift of what's left I get....) wanted some good ones left for others on the next list.
Now I'm trying to catch up on my reading to see if they've come out with the 3rd list of runners up... (don't tell me, I wanna read through everything first, k?) I'm retired and have the time and look forward to the surprise!! xoxox NB

reading Pg 56.... pg 79 is the last one at this time - hmmm might take me a day or two (grin)....

Sounds like you should be getting a message in your "conversation" folder f

Joe Satriani is one of hubby's favorites!
