So everyone on here has the box at the end of their posts that says, "I quit smoking X days ago, avoided XX cigarettes and saved $XX."

Please read this before you get any banner http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...r-box-warning.html?highlight=signature+banner
It looks like a trap!

I would hate to count up how much time I have spent on this forum!
Pepper, Your banner may be legit, but some of the others are not, just click a few and you will see. Just letting people know to be careful. The link above explains what some are doing with the banners they offer.

So how exactly do the banners trap you?

Thanks for the counter. I like the idea of having a program do the calculations for me. As a business person, I can see why data mining would be useful.

Can you subtract the amount of Money that you've spent on your eCigs. They're not free, that's for sure. I think that I've only saved about half as much as the counter says, maybe less.
Some banners get your e-mail address and in a few weeks- Bam-you get hit with a hundred spams and junk e-mails and can't stop it unless you unsubscribe from each one. It is even possible for them to run script in your computer and may be able to collect info like passwords and card numbers.
The link I provided above is to a thread that tells about the risks and list some of the bad ones to watch for.

I use this one, a little application that allows you to copy/paste where you desire.

The vape banner takes into account the amount you spend on e-cigs. It basically works how much you would have spent on cigs, then deducts the cost of what you have spent on e-cigs to work out your 'savings'. All the figures are configurable. Take a look for my recent post on the next version of the vape banner!
My banners don't ask for your email address, or any personal information. The only stuff recorded is what you enter, and your IP address. The only danger with my banner is that at some point in the future I could replace the images returned with an advert for my site, or some other dodgy site
However, I think we can all imagine the impact on my e-cig business if I did that, not to mention I would be banned from every e-cig site on the planet!
