Thanks for your reply. I totally agree with the notion that none of these companies wants to be drawn into any legal battles over PV's. That's one of the reasons why I find it curious that they put the reason for their ban in writing. Right now it stings because they are hurting us in the battle, but could they play some role in unwittingly helping us win the war?
Spence, you are absolutely correct! They could help us unwittingly win the war, however, that does not seem to be in their agenda.
Where there's a will, there's a way. If Google, Yahoo, PP, Amazon, etc won't be a part of it, so be it.
No matter what, we will always keep fighting!!

I would like to know if a lawyer on our side would find any merit to this. I have tried posting on the CASAA site, but (and this is NOT a criticism!) no one there seems to be reading their forum.
I agree, I'm voting people out next election. If they are in office right now they will not be getting my vote.
I don't mean this in a sarcastic way, but how are you fighting? Have you stopped using PP and Amazon? Google and Yahoo are a little harder to stop using but PP and Amazon would be easy enough. There are many other options. STOP using (rewarding) them and let them know why.
Hmmm...is there no way you can get around this Capt? Change the wording slightly? Probably a stupid question, but there's GOT to be a way to promote the site without mentioning e-cigs????
I was wondering the same thing. Vaporizer instead of cig. I realize you probably wouldn't get as many hits but better than nothing? Maybe when explaining what they are, we should all start calling them that too so if people do google them, they will put in vaporizer. Get's away from the "cig" stigma as well.
My site is now on the list, I would have to change my domain name first.
I do like the idea of getting away from the term 'cigarette', for several reasons ...
Hmmm..again...here's a thought Capt., change the domain name with Google and Yahoo and say you're selling vaporizers. Then, have a link that goes to your site from there.
Could it be done, do you think?
I didn't mean to horn in on your post, Captu4ik. I hope you find a dynamite domain and a way to get them to back off. Personally, I wish PV's had never been nicknamed e-cigs. It's like having an bad rap before you even start.
Best of luck to you!
Best of luck to you!
You didn't. I'm happy to see everyone post their opinions and ideas.
Hopefully, when all is said and done, PV's will become a socially acceptable alternative to Tobacco smoking. Until then, PV'er's like ourselves will have to work a little harder to preserve our relatively new-found habit.
Still, it's sometimes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel ...
Well, Cap't, I have found it is easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel after I have turned my bright lights on. I think that you should tell them it is not an e-cig, but a new vaporized tar killing device. That would make them wonder! lol
