Ended Smoktech giveaway! 250 Cloud Machines to win...

[FringeChief68]

Reading Becca's post, she says the ECF 50 have 3 days to make sure our info is right.
Which means they probably won't ship anything for 3 days.
Others have 10 days or is it 9 days now to reply.

I read that all the winners in the US will be shipped from in the US.
We guessed that would be madvapes sending them out.
Either way it seems they have to be shipped from China to the US then to the winners.
And if this is the case, I just don't see them sending these 1 at a time from China to madvapes or what ever supplier.
More likely they will wait till all the winners names are in, then see how many are in the US.
Then ship out one big package, or the least amount of packages they can to madvapes,
with the winners info inside or maybe they will already have them packed an labeled.
But if this is the case, then maybe they will wait till they have all or most of the winners addresses.
So that might add up to 9 days on delivery

I have to travel, and this is cutting it close or more like over my travel date

I hear ya on the travel part, we too are planning an out of town trip. I'd like to be home when it gets delivered.
Our travel plans may have to be put on hold til the Cube gets here

Wow, the saga continues.. this thread blew up overnight.

One of the problems I foresee is there is going to be people who DIDN'T win emailing SMOK claiming to be a winner. I bet their email is full of it now. Then you have people sending multiple emails and whatnot.. It's going to take them a while to verify and weed out the fraud. I can't believe they posted asking winners to email, that's just asking for it.

I won on this thread and sent all the relevant information to SmokeyJoe and that's all I'm doing. If I get a prize.. and I have no reason to think I wouldn't... then awesome.

Kinda depends on if this become a pain in the



1)We must just practice patience. Lord, this thread alone is longer than what we allow threads to stay open for. There is a TON of information but to find it.... Oh my.

2)I agree info should be posted in the beginning post as it becomes available. It is not my thread so I don't feel right messing with the OP's (he is my boss, after all) first post.

3)Also, because of the language barrier, some information from Smok just isn't coming across quite clearly.

Notes by paragraph - numbered
1) Absolutely!! though some always need coaxing/calming/supportive advice.
Lots of, non moderator, members ready willing and over zealous to assist whenever possible.........even though we get distracted at times.

2) Just a suggestion - Major Importance postings - Include a second space(first reply space) for additional information to accumulate. Does not muddle Op posting.

3) Veteran China shoppers are oh so well aware.

Awesome suggestion.

yah - unfortunately, the excitement/ fervor generated by the giveaway kind of helped the thread become a runaway train, lol - add in the 250-ish winners notified by email from the main giveaway then referred to this thread essentially... booyah!

for what it is worth, i continue to appreciate the time, effort, and patience contributed and demonstrated by the mods here and the community in general - really love me some ECF, it's like my vape-home... thanks Smok and a huge thanks to SmokeyJoe and the ModSquad for their exceptional job (and sometimes thankless task) of herding the cats... much respect

I'd relax.
3 Days, is 3 Days
They will likely ship Everything verified by Day 3, likely MANY units, via DHL for delivery to their US supplier(likely a distributor, not madvapes) who will separate for final dispersing.

Look Closer to 1 week+ for units to start arriving at doors.

ETA: DHL is the Fastest China to US Carrier and handles all customs requirements internally.


ETA2: Man, I HATE Outlook. Thought I'd sent my info to Smok over an hour ago.......but ...NNNNnnnoooooooo.......it was still sitting in the Out Box! Another moment.

Oh man...

Agree. I hope that my earlier posts did not make anyone feel that I am discounting anything that the members or Staff do to be helpful. BTW it is 1:16 am Shenzhen time.

If the original poster of the contest uses post 1 for the contest, and then adds a comment as post 2 they would always be able to go back and edit post number 2 for the relevant info, without disturbing post number 1.

Which is just what you said and I read it wrong,,, sheesh. I need to go back to bed.

Yep.

Even if the post just says: Place holder for updates

That would work

If people got the first letter then they have that person's email and it works.
If someone tries to say they are me or any other winner, and the email is different from the first one, I think that would throw up a RED Flag

I think what Bellastarr is saying, it will take time to cross check to make sure that is not happening

Easy from my location - 12hr. variance ahead.

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

Yep.

I also see upvirl as an issue. I've had contests where I have to confirm entry in an auto response email. No response, no entry. When a contest like this allows fake entries through upvirl it multiplies when it gets to the supplier as fake entries are chosen. Every fake entry creates more work for the supplier.

Wasn't Ignoring, had gone to bed. Yes, seeing possible walls in theory, but hopeful.
Dell Venue8 Android. Now, Bluetooth 4.0 is (SUPPOSED) to be backward compatible, to Bluetooth 2.0+ but we all know how things like that go.

The Smok app is quite particular, it must have the full functionality of Bluetooth 4.0 to work, specifically the low energy mode and ~14x higher bandwidth that 2.0 simply doesn't support.
