Did I Buy The Wrong Coils?
Christopher replied to T-Bone's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Odd same here I use single coils on my AeroTank sometimes as well as the KPT3 and I've never had leaking issues EXCEPT with the short stem versions. Though suckers are usually pretty hit and miss. -
Did I Buy The Wrong Coils?
Christopher replied to T-Bone's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Glad you're all set! If you run into any issues don't hesitate to hit the contact tab and open a ticket, we're always happy to help (Don't feel bad about ordering the wrong coils, we even do it when ordering from the warehouse sometimes. The shipment arrives, we open the box then "oh crap"" lol Kanger seems to have this obsession with changing their coil design. As for the Natti coils I'll take a look at the SKU's Descriptions and see what needs to be changed, thanks for bring that to our attention (By the way if you ever find mistakes in the store we usually issue out coupon codes for those who find them) -
TapaTalk is a great app. Actually, in order for the forum to work with Tapatalk we must managed a separate API (Which we do) and update it often to ensure connection with our TT mobile users

Vapor Talk Store - Suggestion
Christopher replied to jasonculp's topic in Website Feedback & Bug Reporting
Great idea. I will add this to our "to do" list -
This is something we could consider. The only issue is... we get a lot of requests to put AYZ link at the top and there is of course limited space but perhaps we could integrate a small icon or something similar I will say that for the time being we won't be adding any new features until we roll out the next upgrade due shortly (IPB 4.0) once that's up and running we can resume adding requested features etc
-
We are always looking to improve our store even it it means the littlest changes, I noticed you mentioned "strength or flavor" It never really crossed my mind before but if you were confused by it, so are/will others. I'm going to change this text to "Nicotine Strength" to makes things clear for you and future customers As for vendors, most on the board are legitimate and top notch, if they're not, the forum members pitchforks will come out faster than you can imagine. They're outed pretty quickly
-
We have all of those, visit www.vaportalk.com/forum/ and scroll down to see a list of sub forum (unless your on Tapatalk in which case it's on their format which we dont' manage)
-
Generally anytime you cannot change or edit something on the forum it's a good idea to post a screenshot so we can see what version of the forum you are using (or if you are using a mobile app for example) Sometimes there are odd quirks or bugs we need to patch up Anyway looks like you're all set so I'll make this topic as answered

Awesome fixed and I didn't have to do anything, those are my favorite kind of tasks
-
When you say post links are you saying then when you try to post a URL it doesn't show? Can you expand on this?

Wait hold on, let me get a better understanding of what you're trying to do because this is a first about hearing this. 1. If you want to upload a photo to your post you have to ensure you are using the full editor, not the quick editor. (Click more Reply Options below the quick edit box) This is for those on desktop 2. If you want to post a picture from somewhere else on the web, simply hit the image icon in the editor) Keep in mind we only allow (for security reasons) JPG, JPEG and PNG photo's to be uploaded into the server. Additionally if you're using an app like say TapaTalk then the process will vary (we don't control how tapatalk updates their software) If you're trying to post a photo another way, let me know and we'll see if we can make this process a little easier for everyone. (Nothing has changed in the last couple of years when it comes to uploading photos)
-
hmm ok well I'll add this up on our next set of changes to see if we can't get some type of visual feedback for tablet users
-
Hey Bepop, Does this happen only when in the forum or all over the site. For example, if you go to: http://www.vaportalk.com/(without the /forum) is the same true their as well?

Big Tobacco killing us?
Christopher replied to Taajsgpm's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
I think it goes without saying. I don't think it's much different anywhere you're located. But, his question specifically mentioned China which can survive well outside the e-cigarette market. -
Just somthing I noticed.
Christopher replied to jasonculp's topic in Website Feedback & Bug Reporting
ok guys, all reported bugs and suggestions have been completed as of this morning. (Though you might have to hit the F5 key to clear your cache) Font is now 14, font is darker, purple highlight removed etc... -
Big Tobacco killing us?
Christopher replied to Taajsgpm's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
Well Believe it or not China actually makes most of it's Money in Europe at least E Liquid. Dekang for Example, arguably China's biggest e-liquid producers ships out more across Europe and a few select areas of the asian market (e-cigarettes are too expensive for most Chinese to purchase) than they do the states. The thing about China is they don't care what they sell, so long as it turns a profit. If electronic cigarettes were say completely banned, they' just drop shop, reorganize and start producing something else. I don't think it'd phase them all that much to be honest with you. The owners of these large companies have no issues taking their money, closing up the factory and moving onto the next thing. There are two guys at the top of Dekangs food chain and they're set for life. @Bebop - If they can...maybe. But if regulation and the threat of fines outweighs the profit margins of producing advanced vaping gear, they'll do away with it. The same goes for all suppliers. While there are a few vendors that make some serious cash (a couple million gross per year) most vendors, I'd say a good chunk of them (I'm always chit chatting with vendors at conventions we attend, the last one in Arizona) make less than 10-15k a month. The thing is some of them still carry day jobs, if they're hit with a fine of say 50 or maybe 100k (pure speculation) it wouldn't take much to knock most of them out of business. Hell even the threat of a fine is enough for a few of these vendors to say "nope not worth it, it's be fun" The ones that have the big bucks will switch over to whatever the current regulatory requirements are. (I mean why not when most of your competition as been killed off by regulation. It's easy money at that point) In fact we all know if serious regulation does kick in? Most vendors will go away with the wind. It sucks because it's a win for a few and not for vapers. (This insane competition going on right now is great for buyers, it forces suppliers to get more creative, improve logistics etc all in an effort to compete. It's the way the free market works best) The other question could be asked, if they were interested in advanced vaping why not market to that group now? Vuze, Blu, NJOY etc all pretty much stuck with the simple two piece units. I don't think personally they'll go the rough of catering to advanced vapers purely because of the liability that comes along with it. It wasn't long ago people were suing BT because cigarettes caused cancer. This year marked a high point for child poisoning by e-liquid in ER rooms. I'd be willing to bet with tanks and the likes being offered by BT that people would be happy to turn the finger on big tobacco and start suing. ("ugh my tank spilled, you should have made it safer etc etc...") Ironically creating the nanny market they probably once spoke against. They'll likely just avoid the hassle, especially given the fact their current model now which is a moderately safe method of delivery, makes them a ton of money. As for underground vaping, you bet, it'll be around for quite some time. For example most members on this board will likely mix and home brew, in fact they'll probably use this forum to figure out how to do just that. (and at that point we'll do our best to keep the freedom of info flowing legally) but see the tricky part is getting the nicotine. Right now there are a couple of ways to obtain nicotine. The most often used method is purchasing unflavored nicotine from a vendor here in the states or from China. (Sometimes the vendor here in the states does just that...orders from China) Once those seizures kick back in at the border (and boy do I remember those days) it'll be much harder to obtain Chinese unflavored nicotine base liquid or nicotine base from any country. (Philippines for example) I remember one year I lost so much stuff at the border I almost closed up shop. This alone would kill of quite a lot of vendors. Vapor Talk's prices used to be pretty sky high simply to cover the amount of product that was straight up destroyed in customs. (Vendors reading this who've been around for a while will remember the heart rates when checking their inbound tracking numbers. I wished I could share some of the ways we used to bring this stuff in lol) Ok but we can get nicotine in the states right? Well right now it's not regulated all that well but you bet your *** if the FDA started knocking on the doors of companies like DOW stating you have to be licensed etc to purchase, it's going to be pretty hard to get what we all want. You can purchase Nic as a pesticide and break it down but eh.. you're starting to get into some gray area and you'd better hope the guy mixing your stuff knows what he's doing. But if they do succeed in clamping down on US companies distributing nicotine Then it doesn't matter how much hardware is available, what's the point? You're looking at shady dealings trying to get a hold of this stuff which honestly would shrink the DIY arena to a group of screw the government types that simply don't care. But I think the vast majority of users will simply give in and buy the regulated stuff. Who knows though, the one thing I know about this country is that when American's are told they can't have something, they end up wanting it more purely as a middle finger to the government. But like anything else, it's risk reward. The greater the risk, the greater the penalty the more people will just say screw it and buy the crappy pre made cartridges or worse, go back to smoking. It's still an interesting topic to talk about, something we're always chatting up at the office. The fact that we managed to get this far at all, honestly at times, is surprising. There was a time vaping was doomed, now it's likely just to be stifled a bit. -
We have a 50% sale going on now (for E Liquid) but we'll save most of our big sales for Cyber Monday (Vapor Talk)

Big Tobacco killing us?
Christopher replied to Taajsgpm's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
I suspect while Big Tobacco will help keep e-cigarettes around, in the long run, it won't be as we know it now. Likely at some point in time it'll be pre measured cartridges (whatever form they'll take in the future) with various approved strengths. Flavored liquid will be a thing of the past as well as it "promotes vaping to the youth." My guess is we'll be limited to Menthol and tobacco based flavors. If the FDA does push for pre filled cartridge regulations I can't actually see big name vendors putting up much of a fight as it's more profitable than selling in bulk the way most vendors do now. I can only speculate, but it's my theory. So yes, Big Tobacco will help keep vaping legal, but not in the form we all know and love. I'm sure there will be some back wood brewing going on no doubt, but at least mainstream I don't believe we'll have the vast amount of selection we do now. The industry is still in it's wild wild west stage and eventually that'll end. At any rate I'm not sure it's something we have to stress about too much, the government doesn't exactly get things done quickly. I believe most of these regulations are a ways out. -
Email confirmations are still sent out. I would double check your spam folder in case it's getting snagged. Though there are multiple login buttons on the forum, they both perform the same function on the backend. Some users prefered the pop up box, some couldn't find the login link. So we added both and the tickets went down *shrug* I know it's redundant but it seems to help a few users.

Thank You! We always appreciate the positive feedback. Our main priority was bridging the store and forum together creating a "streamlined" experience. Now we can focus on bringing some new features to the site, some of which I'm really looking forward to pushing live For now though though it's Turkey time.

Christopher replied to Taajsgpm's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
We do have CASSA which does a lot to help defend the community though they are not active on Vapor Talk at all unfortunately. (We've reached out to them a couple of times but have never heard a response) -
This is true of both. Rants because it's often uncensored and deals because we try to limit spam in the new content section. (When we had it enabled suppliers were really pounding the new content area with "deals") Eventually though I'd like to rid of the deals area on the forum completely and opt for something on the front end of the site (with a link up on the main menu) ECF has a coupon/deals system and we're working to create something similar. I'd also like to add in features that break the deals down IE coils, tanks, batts etc etc And damn Bebop when did you end up with 2,870 posts! How quickly a year and a half flies by.
