Who wants to be a part of Vapor4Life????

[Cimyss]

MeMa I think everyone can help! No ones ideas or abilitys amount to nothing! For one thing I see lots of sites above referancing women! Your story about Vapeing, how it affected you/ your health, things you feel you will now be abel to to do or if it is saving you money, how you can now conribute to your faimly, or even your particular health, A picture of you vaping or a video I could go on and on with many, many different things that would all be nesecary and all of these can probably be used!
A good example of this that comes to mind:
Fisherpal made a video for the contest Steve did awhile back, and she thought she did an awful job but guess what? I loved it and many people who saw it converted to the VK and it is now helping them! Where so many people were so frustrasted they had gone back to analogs because of the exact things she talked about/ made fun of!
Don't sell yourself short! Even coming up with questions for a questions and answer would be helpful perhaps for one of the sites especially from a new user
If some of the parts of this are broken up small everyone can contribute something and have fun doing it!

I am willing to help. My guess is we should all get together either online/in person and layout a plan.

I was actually thinking of creating a website that all about success stories in quiting analogs using electronic cigarettes. could call it vaping stories vapor success

I am also in the works of creating a gaming cafe (like a cyber cafe) but for gaming and i would be happy to sell V4L products at the front desk it would be great way to promote the product show a geek a kick ... electronic device and they will want it haha

And for the cheaparse smokers, you could rent batteries and sell cartos for while they're visiting. Provided they show an id, of course. but reselling the carts for $5 each or something, would give them the taste, if the battery was a loaner.
(No idea on legalities of this)

ya i was thinking of something like that give out a sample of sorts when they order some food or drink. I was also was thinking of actually doing a USB passthrough and just pop on a fresh cart and let someone try it and have it tide to the desk so they cant take off with it lol.

MeMa I think everyone can help!

awww! Thanks Cimyss! That's so sweet! I do an ok job of proofreading and telling stories

 

[PhoenixRising]

I don't have too much time on my hands, but I am comfortable with web pages and copy. My skills are better suited to copy editing than original content but I would be happy to throw in my services!

 

[Mary Kay]

Add me to the list of people who want to help in anyway possible.

 

[Rhaevyn]

Also, no offense to Steve and team, but the current vapor4life site makes me cry a lil inside.

No offense from me, either, but I must agree with DaShiVa.

Being the little .... grammar "notsy" that I am, please consider me for any copy editing for any of these sites. I have been tempted on several occasions to copy your site content, Steve, and send you a rewrite. You're amazing at sales and customer service and even information, but umm... I don't think spelling and grammar are your strong points

However, I can't build sites or sell things, so, that's why we all need each other. All of us have strengths and weaknesses. My passion is editing, fixing typos, making things sound clearer, more concise, easy on the eyes, etc.

So all of you, please allow me to help. You write it, I'll proof it and send you back suggestions. I'm not a professional copy editor, so I don't use all the symbols and lines, etc. But I do know how to make text readable and have tempo and flow.

This would be a dream for me, it's something I've always wanted to do. I'm here for you Steve, and everyone else.

one of the simplest ways I can think of to keep all this organized is a forums site specifically targeted to setting these sites up and which sites needs what as well as resources we can share and links. That way everyone who wanted to contribute to each project would have the ability to do so for what ever is availble! We could also set up a vent account to correspond, I think its like 2.50 a month this way people can contribute personally without feeling the need to have outragous phone bills or give any access to personal info unless they wanted too! It would also allow people to discuss everything without taking over this forum. This would probably be a private forum and with it we could do everything I belive we would need.
I am definately not as experianced as some such as Ryguy, Leeshor, or daShiva at professional websites but I wouldn't mind making and maintaining the organizational forums

I would be more than happy to set you up on a Google Group email list. Or Yahoo but hate Yahoo. I only own 26 Group email lists most for the volunteer work I do for a national rescue. It would allow everyone to communcate and be on the same page Cost is 0.00

Can also help with a place to sell T shirts etc at a cost of 6.95 a month and no other cost to you. All the work is done for you including shipping.

Count me in too Steve just let me know how I can help you. I can host a few domains on my server for free, or I can point you to a great host I use.

One thing that continues to surprise me is that no one has embraced Geek culture along with vaping. I would venture that 75% of geeks (programmers, code monkeys, gamers, hackers, number crunchers and analysts) are smokers, there are about a billion reasons for this, none of them relevant right now. As I told a non-geek friend of mine recently "I'm literally inhaling technology".

I was turned on to vaping by a passing reference on wired.com, yet I've never seen a full-blown article there. I think geeks would be a HUGE marketshare for vaping (specifically V4L); they're smart enough to want to quit and by their very nature, early adopters.

I don't know if this is the right venue for this, but it needs to be said. You can tell by the brief meta-tag geek off that just happened here, that I'm right.

 

[FisherPal]

This response is amazing!! I think Cimyss is correct in that somehow some good organization is of utmost importance. We all have our talents and strong points. Some are wizards are web creation, graphics, etc., some know the tricks of the ether world like search engines, others are excellent at grammer and proof reading ... it's a huge challenge to put this all together but I think this group is up to it!
As Steve mentioned, NOW is the time to be pro-active and really try to make a difference and keep our beloved ecigs in the marketplace. I really think we are at a cusp and that there is still the potential to sway this controversy. There is so much mis-information out there (deliberately so for the most part). People have so much on their plates right now to worry about and, unless we can make it easily available for them to find and read, they will pass it by in favor of other pressing issues in their lives - like jobs, finances, health, etc. WE all know what a great boon ecigs have been in our lives ... we're the ones who have been worrying that it will all disappear in a flurry of ill-conceived and contrived laws so ... we're the ones who have to take a stand and start trying to turn the tide.
That all said I'm in on this to help in any way I can as well.

LOL I hear ya. On top of my full time job, Im a full time gamer, run my own gaming site and I do web design on the weekends. I usually spend all weekend in front of my computer and use to hit 2 packs a day easy in front of my computer.

I see a powered USB hub as a passthrough Hookah...

 

[dohsma]

OK guys, I talked to Steve a little bit today about this project. It's definitely something we want to get rolling right away. You guys have such great ideas. Over the next couple of days we will be organizing our thoughts, and I will try to contact as many of you as I can. If anyone who is interested can please email me at mark@vapor4life.com I can better organize the ideas on my end and start putting together the big picture. Definitely more to come on this, but I just wanted to say thanks in advance to everyone that has participate in the discussion thus far.

 

[KatieM]

I would definitely be interested in this but need more details.

I would like to reach out to the youngest smokers...despite the hatred, taxes and shunning ...there are so many of them. I see them every day. It has to be social media...facebook,twitter, chat etc...something that really makes it THEIR thing. I don't believe that stagnant websites are going to get the word out...we need something viral.
I've got some resources and I'm sure others do as well...We need to energize and engage the kids
