Vaping for thirty years?

[Bonnie]

this guy can't be serious.

I sent him a question, asking how that was possible, since electronic cigarettes have only been out for five years, and he sent me a rather rude reply back.

anyway, i found this...erm....interesting...

Ok- He admit Ecigs have been around 5 years, but I tell ya, I believe him when he says hes been "vaping" for 20 yrs...."Herb" vaporizers have been around a long long time...go to any "head shop" and youll find various models and sizes..

Also, surprisingly enough, a machine we all know and love has been using a "vaporizor' since nearly its birth....The carborator! Yep, as in cars! These things have been around forever, it just took Mr Ruyan to think up one to vape nic fluids into before we realized this was some good stuff!!!

Another vaporizor thats been around a long time is the fog machine. Not only used in theatrical applications, but in HVAC as well. They use it to test for air leaks, among a vast amount of other applications for other jobs...Heck, we have prob. used alot of other things that have 'em, and until we started using them to "vape nic", we didnt even realize it was there!

Now, his claims on developing e-cigs for 5 years? Welllllll....who knows...but anythings possible!

 

[Bonnie]

funny, he told me rather rudely he bought his first e-cig in 2000, which would be nine years ago, so i automatically assumed he was full of false advertisement. maybe he is right.

i just saw that, and automatically assumed...
wtf?

meh, good to know there might be some truth in his statement. i'm probably just too much of a skeptic.

 

[crashtestjeep]

Im sure there are alot of people finding a way to "scam" people-I wouldnt call it either way tho.....If he was rude then he MAY be lying.......Im just saying its possible

....but if he was rude, that usually means they are fibbing...lol

Just an observation, lol

BTW-I thought he may be scamming when I saw the price of repairing an e-cig was $30!!!
Why not just buy another kit,lol afterall...I thought they were suppsedly consumables, which in ;laymens terms means...it will break-when it does, buy another!

Hmmmm....

 

[Bonnie]

Dear bonniereneeee,

Well Dude I bought my first Electric Cigarette in 2000 before that Nicorette made a vaporizor with nicotine, Just in case your high school teacher forgot to tell you Vapin has been going on since fire was figured out...dah
Oh sorry with only 6 items sold must still be wet behind the ears.


- pelletco

....couldn't help but be slightly offended and want to find out from the experts on this forum if he actually was telling the truth, or not.

 

[Bonnie]

meh. oh well. that's what I get for getting curious as to what they had on e-bay e-cig related. =X

 

[crashtestjeep]

Id DEFINATELY concurrrrrrr, Bonnie....(LOL!!!!)

That this man has DEFINATEY been VAPING on an "HERB" vaporizor for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time!


HA!





EDIT- Dont worry, he'll get banned soon on ebay for saying anything e-cig related anyway-should have stuck with "HERB VAPORIZOR"....apparently, they allow that and not e-cigs...

 

[Bonnie]

rofl! =P !!

 

[wrecktangle]

for 30 bucks you can go out and buy several new atomizers or batteries.

I don't get it.

About 20 years ago I signed up as a product tester for a market research firm. One of the products we tested was a "smokeless cigarette." It was about the size and weight of an e-cig, but it had sort of a porous ceramic tip with a hole on the cherry end. You used a match or lighter to get it started, and it sizzled like an e-cig. I'm not sure what the mechanism was that provided heat once it was "lit." I do recall sometimes you would have to "re-light" it, but you didn't have to light every drag. It wasn't quite perfected yet, since there was no real way of knowing when it was empty, short of trying to relight it and getting just a very hot dry hit. And thinking back, I don't think they were intended to be refillable. As I recall, they were solid one-piece units. But it was definitely vaping. When I first tried an e-cig back in June of this year, it reminded me very much of the taste of that "smokeless cigarette" I tested years ago.

Looking at that it hits me as a slick way to just sell parts and get around ebay not alowing them.
You send in for repair and he ends up sending a new one that he "repaired" for you.
Unless you have it marked, nail polished and unique most people wouldn't know and he makes a killer profit. $30 atty .. eh pass.

And listed in the ebay description as FDA approved to boot.

He has the OK from Ebay. Just like the others that are selling tshirts. He does not say that he sells parts only repair service.

 

[Angela]

He has the OK from Ebay.

...and may I ask, how do you know that?

 

[bluelite]

And listed in the ebay description as FDA approved to boot.

Maybe before people bad mouth them they should check into his product. This man takes on the goverment every day. I personally know that FDA went into some Utah bars and removed all thier Ecig product. This guy had a 55 gallon drum of ELiquid in his bar. FDA left empty handed. So what is he doing different than the ones who lost there product. He also has cafes in California, Utah and Virgina that allows smoking of regular cigarettes. He has won cases in all these states that allow him to operate legally. All his case were sealed by the courts, they don't want public to know. He sells over a 1000 packs of ecigs per day. His very first order was taken by Customs, Month later Customs hand delivered his product to him. His order now days arrives in a sea container.

I'm still trying to figure it all out myself.

 

[bluelite]

...and may I ask, how do you know that?

He is my Dad.

 

[acezzz]

I was vapin "herbs" and shisha from a soldering iron mod on a hooka more than 25 yrs ago. This idea has been around a long time.

I thought Tobacco was a HERB

 

[martha1014]

I don't understand what he is selling. It stated he only has 10 units left.It looks like he is repairing ecig. for 30.00 but how can you advertise for labor on ebay.

There is nothing to a ecig. Just a battery 7.99 plus an atomizer 4.99 and you have a new unit. You would already have a charger. So what is he talking about. FDA approved what a joke.

 

[firhill]

I just sent him a message telling him I have an EBay special this week on repairing "good manners and etiquette"...$30 incl. shipping.

Think he'll buy one?
