I have to say after watching the video although I didn't find it funny I can't believe any of you find it offensive. No one forced you to watch it either. Also you all act like Pillbox tore you to pieces or something. I mean he didn't kiss ... like most companies would but to start a thread and freak out about it? I say everyone needs to lighten up a bit. I mean Southpark trashes every race, religion, and group known to man. You don't see me avoiding Comedy Central though.

To me it's all about choices. And luckily as Vapers we have many choices. I choose to do business with suppliers who appreciate their customers views and opinions. There are so many awesome suppliers here on ecf. I was the one who brought up the way pillbox treated the posters. I had no interaction with pillbox. But pillbox chose to react that way to some people I know to be nice and consider buddies so I choose to do business elsewhere. Just like I choose to watch some episodes of southpark as well if I get offended I change the channel and watch family guy instead :D

Plus one....I wont do business with em, over priced, branded, and a nasty owner...."totally" kills the deal for me. Wish he had stayed quit.
I'm not offended by the dumb video (which btw that programing is kinda fun to play with...he used a free service to make it)
Just seems like more of the same old stupidity that I'm not impressed by.

Justin thats find darlin, but when they refuse to refund or replace 60.00 worth of dead on arrival batteries for you....you might sing a different song. There is history here with that company that your to new to be aware of.

I think the video was a bad decision because it is in bad taste. We're talking about a retailer here. A public retail store, and bearing this in mind, you need to be careful with advertising. Yes, maybe it is a bit prude because of how mild the video is, but when you're putting something out to an international market, you need to be pretty careful. Not to mention his responses in the thread which make it 100x worse.

At this point I don't care if they have the best prices OR product out there, I wouldn't give them my money based purely on his reaction to the criticism.
 
Yeah the responses were uncalled for IMO. How easy would it have been to say "I apologize if you found this offensive" or something along those lines? He drew a line in the sand when he wouldn`t budge on his stance, and criticized members of ECF for lack of humor. Then went as far as saying he didn`t kiss (_l_). No one asked you to, just respect your customers/ potential customers. Maybe the audience they`re catering is all they need to be happy, but they turned off a lot of people, with the egotistical attitude and will lose their business, deservedly so.

Well.. Because this thread starts of "basically" by saying "Hey look at this dumb thing called http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...uid/101443-miss-wicked-gets-mega-tornado.html

and your reply has nothing to do with this thread, it has to do with this link! Therefore, you posted in the wrong thread! This is PIF, that is NOT! And we dont talk to PIF members like that!


She was talking about the video and the way he talked to people. I commented on that how is that off topic? I hope your not referring to me when you say we don't talk to PIF members like that.

LOL he went through and deleted my posts from that thread. i guess giving advice about respecting the global customer and to strive for perfection.. all that was just a little over the top for him. I guess since I was articulate and to the point and even offered some pretty basic business rules that he may want to look into. Then again, I guess when you try and teach quantum physics to an adolescent caveman, you're going to lose a bit of the meaning :)

Dang hippies gotta protest everything!hehe

I just hope that someday ecigs are mainstream and some of these vendors are obviously in it to make max profit in minimal time by fleecing people that haven't had the luck to find sites like this and the resources it provides so smokers can make informed decisions when taking the dive to ecig goodness and to stick with it instead of feeling ripped off and misinformed, leading them back to analogs.

I saw that your right-on posts were deleted.
He is way too old to be so sensitive to constructive criticism that he has to resort to "taking the marbles and going home".

It is too bad that he didn't care to get out of his defenses long enough to realize we were attempting to steer him towards better business and it had nothing to do with our personal reactions to his little "video experiment made public" or TW's main web site theme.

Makes this thread even better - Totally Wicked = Totally Stupid = Totally Off

Perhaps this is a case of money corrupts. Maybe TW has made so much money that they feel invincible and really don't care about their customers.
I can't imagine a company having a loose canon like this one spouting off and being so rude and ludicrous within a huge community (ECF) of consumers who now have many choices in where they spend their vaping $$$$.
I was going to reply in the other thread about the censorship of your posts AND decided "why bother".

Vape On!!!!!!
