V4l needs our family to help review all new products, please tell me why we should choose you

[SMILIN]

Hi Fam,

As you know, we screwed up in introducing some of our new products here, first. I want to remedy this now, and need your help. As Long term Family, please tell us about yourself, why you should recieve free products to evaluate, what products yo have been using, and what are your goals in finding the best solution for your aping needs. Please also tell us if you are will to do video's and or written reviews. These must be done in a well thought out manner, and above all, HONESTLY.

This is the only way, I will know how to continue to lead our industry and create the utimate in vaping pleasure. We are looking for about 10 commited vapers, to choose to get sample products as our new cretions are recieved. These may be prototypes, or ready for market. Sugestions from charging, ease of use, ease of vaping experience, packaging, pricing, et. et are welcome.


I have always believed it to be true, that we are stronger together.

Thank you in advance, and I would love to begin shipping products this week.

Enjoy, and Vape_on

Steve Smilin

Just wanted to say thanks for a great opportunity, Steve! Altho I have been vaping, with V4L exclusively, for over 3 years, I don't think I' qualified, but I'm sure that you will get many others who are. Thanks for giving the V4L family this opportunity

 

[MystStick]

I have been a vaper for over a year with V4L being my supplier of choice for my new lifestyle. I had previously tried vaping in 2010, but sadly hadn't yet heard of V4L and felt the experience lacking. Therefore I went right back to my 35 year two pack a day habit. Then one day I picked up a disposable at the drug store and thought maybe this time you can do it. I am so glad I was referred to V4L at the same time (by the young kid who sold the disposable to me... saying, "if you like this, I will turn you onto the really good stuff", as he handed me a V4L card). Well, we have certainly come a long way from those first days, with each equipment improvement my vaping pleasure increased and I knew I was going to be a "lifer ".

Apparently. I started at the right time because shortly after I started with the standard kit, new and exciting devices started coming on board at V4L... starting with the passthru eGo and they just kept getting better with each one. I have muliples of every device on the website as well as some they no longer sell. All still going strong. My current favorite is the Handle..... it produces excellent vapor and all day satisfaction. It was my first VV device and I can say that made a big difference in keeping the experience new and exciting. Of course I still can't wait to try the Zeus and see if it will become my new favorite! My current goal in finding the perfect setup is simplicity.... my life is complicated enough. I want a good solid all day device in battery life, no mess tanks (or cartos) that stay consistent in flavor and vapor production in addition to fast recharging ability. I am not as concerned with the way the device looks as much as I am with the functionality. I understand I may be alone on that issue but I would rather be awed with the wonderful vaping experience and ease if maintenance as opposed to pretty in pink '-). Therefore I would love the opportunity to have input on future projects and feel I can objectively review them from a personal standpoint. We all come to V4L with different needs and wants in regards to our vaping experience and requirements so various opinions are important when considering the wants and wishes of this entire vaping family.

Please forgive the typos... darn kindle and auto complete... but have to deal with it as I am right now sitting in my husband's hospital room, happily vaping away....... Now that is something I wouldn't. Have thought possible a year ago!

 

[K9Luvr]

I can't believe people aren't jumping at the chance to be a part of this!!!!!!!!! If my limited range of experience with batteries and/or juice flavors is not a problem, then sign me up. I primarily use my eGo with mega carts, but also love my new DAV Auto VV with a tank, and my beautiful KD stick batteries. I'm not sure what kind of opinions I can offer, but I'm willing if no one else besides MystStick signs up.

 

[MystStick]

K9Luvr, I think your opinions are well valued. I have followed you from my first day on this forum... and think you would make a perfect addition to the product team. You have watched this company grow and expand, being with them every step of the way.

 

[dedi]

I agree with K9 that I can't believe there aren't tons of folks offering to take part in reviewing products for Steve!!! I didn't jump on board for the reason that I don't have anything to compare to my V4L experiences! I have used V4L products for over three years exclusively starting as most do with the beginner starter package progressing as more things were offered in the product line.
I am certainly aware that there are tons of companies and set ups out there but just always have approached with KISS attitude! I don't need to fiddle and tinker with stuff I just want it to work and be reliable.
If I can be of help, sign me up

 

[plantlvr]

Well I'm going to put my hat in the ring. Been vaping only for over 3 years now and would love to review new products for V4L. I love the auto DAV and Handle, tanks have been in use daily also. Would like to see new chargers and VV devices from V4L as well as new juices.Not set up to do videos but would be honest in written reviews. Thanks for the opportunity Steve!

Well thank you

If selected, I will do my best.

 

[MystStick]

Dedi and Plantlvr would also be well qualified and suited to be part if the team. Amazingly, they have been loyal and respected members of this family practically since inception. Such commitment deserves to be rewarded with a voice into the future of V4L.

I don't post much as I get enough computer time at work.

But, I started vaping 4 years ago and I've tried many different ecigs. I started with pre-filled, filled my own, even made a few juices. I've used 3 part e-cigs, low cost ecigs, and VERY expensive e-cig applicances from Greece (guess who). I have drawers full of old items. In the end, and after getting over the "newness" of the e-cig world, I stayed with V4L for the past 3 years.

I am an auto lover and believe the true mark of a good auto batt is the draw. It must activate easily with the slightest breath.

Video review? Probably not. Written review is good, although I don't have the tools to measure batt strenght/time, etc. Just my own opinion of what makes a good ecig.

 

[MystStick]

I find it hard to believe this thread is so silent. Steve is offering a wonderful opportunity to the V4L family to become part of the process. This was exactly what we were asking for just a few weeks ago. I know I was vocal about feeling hurt that the forum family was left out of the loop at the announcement of a new product release...... now is an offer to become part of it as well as future changes.

I have other devices that are out there..... mostly purchased during that time of frustration. They are not my go to all day usage devices...... as personally.... I wasn't as thrilled with them as what I already had......plus I didn't find the kind of technical support (and moral support) that I always found here... so yes, I came back to V4L being once again my supplier of first choice. I don't want to figure out the safe battery to use and which charger to use with them. I don't want to find my way through all the various tank systems and which ones need what type of adaptor. I just want to enjoy the vaping journey.... safely and without all that hassle. Steve and the crew have done all the legwork and homework for us...... the least we can do us to offer feedback in order the company heads the same direction as we are going.

 

[ThankU4Vaping]

I too don't feel qualified as others have mentioned. I've been with V4L exclusively 3 years next month. I also keep it simple and wouldn't even know how to use a tank without a bunch of YouTubes telling me how. I have mostly manual diamond batts and one V4L 808 Ego. There could be a Titan in my future, but that's about it.

Congrats on the near 3 year mark.... you were certainly an early adaptor to the technology and a very loyal customer.... that makes your opinions very valued. We each have our favorite devices and comfort levels and the company needs input on all our choices that make the vaping journey completely personal and unique to each one of us. I would think your experiences are those of a big part of the current customer base.

Hi Steve,
I’m 29, started smoking at 18 and rolled my own smokes for the next 11 years.
I wanted to try e-cigs to cut down my cigarettes to only the "good" ones.
Not the other seven I would smoke throughout the day.
That's when I found V4L.
After being lost in all the 2 dollar websites and information overload on the web, your site and cigar titian battery had me in love at first sight.
Vaping has changed my life and since Valentine's day I've basically forgotten to have a cigarette. I’ve joined ECF and V4L Forums and have been reading everything I can find and trying out everything I can afford.
I should receive free products to evaluate because I can offer the potential or beginning vaper all the information they need, on topics they want to know, in language they can understand.
I don’t have any of the prejudices or conditioning associated with being part of a community (such as the vaping world) for a long period of time.
I love to write and though I haven’t done much recording, I am not camera shy, have the means to do so, and am excited at the opportunity to make some video reviews.
From smoke shop disposables to an auto titan, to ego, then tanks came into play (loooove tanks), to OMG All Day, to my non-V4L friends who use clearomizers and variable voltage/variable watt eVics, I have tried to get my hands on everything to find what works best for my lifestyle, sense of style, and vaping habits.
I pledge honesty and my best efforts if given the chance to review for V4L.

Thank you much,
Mark Harvin
Last Of The Only, Loto

My opinion on your products would helpful as I've evolved into quite the expert on vaping in just under 6 months.
I generally use my trusty Kanger T3's on eGo's and my eVic.
I have an RBA that I'm trying to get dialed in.

Of course, my reviews will be true, honest, and accurate.

Let me know if I can help.

 

[Atari]

Ive been doing reviews for about 4 years. About a year and a half ago I started diving into the marketing side of the business. I have recently re launched my reviews and have started accepting new products. My site is below in my signature if you would like work samples. V4l is actually one of the reasons im still vaping and generally my go to suggestion for new vapors. I have worked with multipul vendors under a confidentiality agreement and am much more detailed in my reviews to vendors than my published reviews. If you have any questions please message me. I would be thrilled to work with you

Hello Steve,

I'm new here, so not sure if I can qualify, but I'll give you my spiel nonetheless

I just began looking into vaping a couple of days ago (lots of info in this forum, y'all are great!). I have never vaped, so I am a definite noob. I am, however, not new to smoking. I have been smoking cigars for 8 years. I started when I was 18 and never looked back. I have worked off and on in the cigar industry for about 2 years.

I smoke somewhere between 20 and 30 cigars a week. I have smoked thousands of cigars over the last 8 years and hundreds of different blends. I'm talking premium hand rolled smokes here, not White Owl or Swisher I like variety and some of my favorite manufacturers are Tatuaje, La Flor Dominicana, Padron, Don Pepin Garcia, EP Carillo, Drew Estate (Liga Privada #9, T-52, Chateau Real, Herrera Estelli, Natural line) - essentially medium to full bodied cigars with plenty of flavor. There are some that know more than me, but I am more well-versed than your average cigar smoker. I smoke a pipe and hookah on occasion, but never got into cigarettes.

My work in the tobacco industry has always been more of a hobby (one I am passionate about). I make my money as a writer. I write for a major corporation during the day, and pen the next great American novel by night (a man can dream, right?). Smoking and writing go hand-in-hand for me. Something about smoking a cigar just gets the contemplative/creative juices flowing.

I currently live in a place where I can smoke all the cigars I want. But, before long, I will be moving in with my bride-to-be (cross your fingers for me). I don't want to subject here to the lingering odor of smoke and so I am looking for an alternative for when I am indoors. With this in mind, I began the search for an e-cigar. After digging around a bit, I came up with the following criteria:

• Must be automatic - I don't want to activate it every time I take a drag. i want to pick it up and take a draw as I would with a real cigar.
• I'd prefer it not be overly conspicuous. I don't need to to be stealth but I'd rather it not be the size of a 1980's police flashlight or throw off disco lights every time I take a drag.
• rechargeable with refillable/customizeable cartridges/tanks.
• Lots of vapor and a natural draw.
• Soft mouthpiece that is durable/comfortable so I can go handsfree as I would with a cigar - I need to be able to type, while holding it in my teeth.

I got an itchy trigger finger and ordered the Cohita E650 rechargeable and some blank cartridges. It hit most of my criteria, and I got a bit overwhelmed with everything out there. I also ordered Vapenstein Managua 18mg and Coffee-Infused Cigar 0mg from W2V to try out.

I have not received anything I ordered yet, but I kept digging around and saw some reviews of the V4L Vapor Zeus. That bad-boy looks like it would nail everything I am looking for! It comes in black, which is my color of choice, automatic draw sensor, good battery capacity without being huge size-wise, soft tip, reloadable cartridges - it's like you knew I would be looking... Quit reading my mind...

So, I would love to to do a written review of your product (I'd prefer the Zeus for the reasons mentioned above, but I'll be happy to evaluate something else if you wish) and answer follow up questions. I'd rather not be in a video, but I will gladly take photographs of the product and give my impressions. I'd be happy to provide updates every few months if desired. I could also compare/contrast it with the Cohita if that would be useful.

If you're interested in the perspective of someone who is new to vaping but has a wealth of cigar experience, I'm your guy!

Sounds like Steve has lots of "winners" here.... Lots of varying experiences, preferences, professionals and the like. This was one winner idea!

I agree MystStick. After all the complaining we did about not getting a chance to be the first to review new products it's great to see that Steve not only heard us, but gave us this awesome opportunity
