This deserves another "You're selling beginners what!!?" thread.

Unfortunately I'm sick and don't have the energy to do it

In this case, even if you had the energy it would be wasted. Selling a kit like that to beginners is consistent with TKO's business ethics. In 2013 they were selling a kit containing ONE 650mAh rebranded or cloned eGo Twist, ONE rebranded or cloned Vivi Mini Nova (two heads included) and a USB charger for $149.95. I imagine they don't have many return customers.

I agree, plus we'd get scammer scum on us, that stuff is sticky and smells bad. :nah:

Interesting. I've actually seen that, but I didn't realize it was Gilbert (I wasn't really paying attention) and at the time didn't know who Cameron was. This appears to underscore that Gilbert only surfaced after Cameron got ahold of him.

ETA: I remember now - I think it was Turf who posted it response to my wanting to see more diversity in how vapers are portrayed in the media. I thought it was pretty good, but I recall wondering who the John guy was, since I'd never heard of him. Now I'm thinking he's trying to make a name for himself as a vaping advocate in preparation to promote his company. Ick.

My fascination is with Gilbert. I thought the guy was dead. Where has he been?

I'm not sure where he's been since that day a year and a half ago. He impressed all of us. John Cameron, yeah, not so much. Altho I'm pretty sure we were SUPPOSED to be impressed by the Cameron name.

Dr. Gilbert was a lovely man, with heart. As was his wife. Too adorbs, both of them. And he was passing out the 1963s like candy.

(whoops, where are my "Save the Children" manners)

And just for the record, I'd NEVER want to waste my vaping battery on something as trivial as a phone call.

Gotta keep 'em separated.


Agreed. It's one thing to be sucking on a metallic thing that looks like a cigar or cigarette, but sucking on your cell phone? People will think we're even more nuts.

That's funny because when I saw Bad's post (HEY BAD!!), I wondered if you'd "fess up" (that you were there).

Those '63 things are pretty cool, just by the way. Mine's staying in the box until I go into the box. Have you puffed yours? ;)

I wonder why I'm not surprised? :lol:

But you ARE surprised. Surprised that it took this long.

You did it almost four years ago. I should have been smart enough to follow your lead.

This deserves dragging out an old favorite, representing ME in this case.

I was impressed with your patience with that particular individual. I was thinking you were far closer to sainthood than I!

That is such a funny clip! Quick aside. C. was looking at his Kindle a year ago or so and saw the picture of Alexandre Dumas on the screen saver. He piped up with "Who's this Alexan-drey Dumb ... dude?"

Oh Sweetie....I just shook my head.
