[CES]

Good morning VG and Catt


Check your emails Catt, if you were one of the people that were able to answer after the limit was reached you probably have an email to that effect.

Just checked email and this was waiting for me

We have now mailed out all the gift cards to the 150 survey responders. If you are receiving this email, you were not in the first 150 to take the survey.
If you did not see it, here is the message that we posted on Reddit.com:


Re: E-cigarette Online Survey
From: Dr. Herb Severson from Oregon Research Institute.


First, let me assure you that the e-cigarette study is a legitimate research study funded by the National Institutes of Health. This study was designed to obtain basic information regarding e-cigarettes users and this information was to be used in developing other research around e-cigarettes. We conducted focus groups with e-cigarette users who then helped us design the online survey. We received funding to pay 300 participants. 150 people completed the survey a few weeks ago and they were each sent the $25 gift card. We opened the survey again on 9/23/13 and had a mechanism in place to limit participants to an additional 150 people. We are investigating the reason that more than 2000 people had access to the survey and completed it in a very short amount of time. We take this very seriously. -We have no indication that your personal information entered into the survey was compromised, but it does appear that our survey counter was circumvented.
We can only pay the first 150 legitimate people who completed the survey. We can only pay people for completing the survey one time. If you completed the survey more than one time, we cannot pay you a 2nd time. If we do not pay you, we will not use your survey results. If, as some on Reddit.com have proposed, you want us to use your survey results without payment, please respond and let us know by email.
We appreciate your supportive comments and positive suggestions for future research. We thank you for your commitment to sharing honest information about the use of e-cigarettes and hope that we can continue this research in the future.
Please, contact us at ecigs@ori.org if you have further questions or comments.

Good Morning, CES.

Dang it. Had I known about this, I would have done it, and they could have used mine w/o payment. I'd still do the survey if it were still available.

 

[CES]

it explains why the link got shut down shortly after i posted it in here. But i agree VG, i took the survey because i think it's important that researchers get the info. the possibility of payment was just a nice bonus.

I just popped the center post out of my 510-ego adapter to give it a thorough cleaning - don't ask why, I just randomly do such things . Of course, had the devil's own time getting it back together, ended up pinching the insulator and clipping a small piece of it off; but it's back together and seems to be functioning.

Gotta get a pack of these to have on hand:
AGA Series Positive Post Insulators - 10 pack - Kidney Puncher
Not sure how "generic" they are, but would be nice to have the option.

I bought that 10-pack, and they work Great!!! Just as good as the originals, if not Better.

[TomCatt]

Well, gotta get going. Apparently I'm the only one around here who can scratch little lines on little pieces of coated glass

I snuck in the back door, just like that Catt who's here all the time.

Nope, I'm a dude.

Ooops...my bad.

Perhaps Tibs is right about that ID thing

 

[TomCatt]

Hopefully they would be able to be used on such things as 510-ego adapters and Kanger/Anyvape heads as well

now I'm really gone

Later Catt- have a reasonable day
