The crap on whirlpool

[darkmonk]

For those who have seen the crap that is going on the whirlpool forum thread, take note, it will only take one or two people to complain to the authoritys about people distributing nic e-juice with gear and it could mean the end of vaping in australia. Imagine if suddenly customs started seizing all shipments into australia?

Just a thought

What is up with that adylim guy? He really needs to see a doctor, he needs help 8-o

 

[darkmonk]

I really am suprised the thread lasted as long as it did. Whirlpool mods can be pretty heavy handed.

It was bound to happen with all the advertising and BS that's been going on... (Looks like the dealers have shot themselves in the foot)

Whirlpool has 16,000+ visitors per day, I'd love to know how many Aussies have taken up vaping thanks to that thread....

(Anyone know why Doolang was binned?)

 

[darkmonk]

Doolang was booted cause people complained about him I was informed

I was just told by a source the thread was closed mainly due to a person stating that they had got free e-juice with an order which is illegal. Whirlpool is pretty quick to shut down anything illegal.

I'm with darkmonk and wondered why it lasted so long - I guess they dont monitor as closely as we think and its not until tonight that someone has reported something untoward and the've actually taken a look.
No idea why Doolang was binned but I'm guessing he overstepped the advertising mark (possibly in a whim?) . I am suspect on that Jeniffer member - no-one can be that thick.. (and can't spell their name correctly).

Its a bloody shame, I used to enjoy reading the Ecig stuff on whirlpool

 

[darkmonk]

I know I over stepped the mark when talking about pre-orders for the 905 6V Mod, but Doolang did it over and over again, that was asking for trouble!

As I think we all did, as well as contributing - you'd have to admit though that it was getting far too big with so much info in a continuous thread.
The issue is how do we get them here (or to another forum, which i wont mention )

 

[Mildew]

Dont sweat it DM. Doolang would have been aware of the advertising rules - I think he just pushed a little to far.

 

[darkmonk]

Thanks Mate

I'm sure that those really interested in vaping will find there way to one of the forums. Hopefully this one!

Too obvious? PVs (Personal Vaporizers) - Gadgets - Whirlpool Forums

I guess this is a better forum to discuss e-cigs anyways.

Can we afford to spoil the show just because of few W4NK3RS on WP? I bet not.

My 2 cents: No e-cig related talk on WP!!

He did get his posts removed for 'advertising' pretty frequently, and lately I'd been noticing some slightly more subtle posts shilling his wares too. I got one PM from him that could be considered spam when his store went live, and it sounds like there may have been more than that one being sent out since then.

I'm surprised he wasn't binned sooner tbh.

I'm really disappointed on a couple of fronts. I thought that was a good channel to make people aware of vaping and we were starting to get some traction.

He's peeved at Doolang. I've spoken to him a couple of times about it. Doolang said some stuff that Ady took badly, and Ady is not letting it go. That little tiff will likely be festering for a while.

 

[Mildew]

I think you would be right on all counts there k.rad.
That said, I'm glad he had the balls to do what I (and probably most of us here) would've like to have done and started an Aussie e-cig store. The problem was that others obviously thought they could the same and came unstuck - hence the mudslinging at the "tall poppy" and subsequent crap that followed.

 

[dinium]

it will only take one or two people to complain to the authoritys about people distributing nic e-juice with gear and it could mean the end of vaping in australia.

Agreed. I assume all the kits you're going to be selling through your site will not contain any sample carts with nic?

 

[dinium]

started an Aussie e-cig store.

Uhmm, he sent out juice when someone paid for a product. All it needs is one or two complaints the TGA and we're all in the crapper.

 

[Mildew]

My point was that he got the Aussie market going.
Now to your point - yes he probably did and has probably done it a fair bit, but to be honest did he send some to "Jeniffer"? If "she" is that thick to say she got free e-juice I really don't think she would be that clever to say it was 18mg stuff - do you? Seems a little too coincidental that she signed up tonight and posted when Doolang was binned.

I suspect she was a ghost account... same as that other new user that was raving about how great Doolang was
