Personally, I feel manipulated by Cashmere.
He acted like one of us.
Then gave up ecigs altogether for a sudden onset of the most unusual set of physical side effects that couldn't possibly have occurred overnight which was the impression he gave.
Then suddenly one day he was a user again.
I feel he extracted info from us while pretending to be one of us but had the intention all the time of becoming a supplier.
And Smokey, I don't like the idea of a supplier being a moderator.
Can moderators read our PMs?
Sorry folks if this comes off as argumentative, mean-spirited and/or paranoid but that's how I feel.
PS
Cashmere, your prices are great and despite my feelings I may indeed end up ordering from you a whole bunch of Xmas gifts for my close friends and relatives come December, assuming you will be able to maintain a professional business rapport with me after this post
Nerdy ... I must admit, your posts do amuse me sometimes. No offense taken
Lets see if I may be able to weather the storm here just a bit.My first ecig was from Smartfixx. I asked for 5 zero nic cartridges instead of the sample pack so I didn't get any nicotine. When I started smoking them, I didn't see any real signs or symptoms of illness because i didn't smoke it frequently. (Remember, I had been a complete non-smoker at this time for about 7-8 months I believe) I was on my 3rd of 4th cart when I realised I would need refills. At this time, BD (BananaDoc) had his Bickfords thread so I decided to give it a try. Order I think 9 flavors and a quart of PG.
Got them in the mail and gave Bickfords a shot. Within hours, I was having issues. I was dripping Bickfords exclusively into empty carts. That night I had the worst bout of the runs and night sweats I have ever had in my life. The next day, I woke up with a swolen throat, and when I tried to swallow, it was like swallowing needles. Didn't immediately blame it on the PG, and thought I was just coming down with something. Gave up smoking the ecig for about 2-3 days until i started feeling better. Then tried dripping again with Bickfords. I could feel the symptoms coming on again, so I immediately stopped. I thought I was completely Allergic to PG, so at the time I decided to just liquidate what I had. I sold all my equipment (to a person who will remain nameless unless they feel like posting) and flavors and then just sat and thought. Reading more stories of people allergic to PG, and then reading how TB started using VG (Veggie Glycerin) and was getting great results !!! So, I ordered a RN4072 penstyle off ebay. Got my VG locally from the Vitamin Shoppe, and started up again. It was then trying zero nic carts that I realized that i must just be allergic to PG in very concentrated amounts like Bickfords. Started using VG and a bottle of eliquid (i got from a member here) with zero nicotine, and I had Zero Issues, as long as the PG levels stayed down.
Reading the numerous threads about how unhappy people were with ECig prices, I decided to do something about it. If you go back in my history, you will see that I have never bad mouthed any manufacturer, but over the past couple weeks/month I have asked questions trying to get a good feeling from the public on what they want. Flavors, how many carts they smoke, etc...
This website took about a month of planning. The rest is history
As a moderator, I do find it unfair for myself to judge other Suppliers, that is why I won't be. However, keeping a forum civil, safe, and fun is completely different. NO I can NOT read your PM's ... LOL ... Those are completely your own and completely 100% private
I would love to supply you for any Christmas gifts you decide to pass on!
If you have any other concerns, feel free to post!
Thanks Nerdy,
-CaSH
EDIT ... p.s. -- I think I just layed out my entire ECig biography!
... LOL
