Fellow vapers, over the last years we have seen a huge attack on vaping using media and 'scientists' as a front line. A number of high profile politicians talking about the 'good' and 'protection of the public' . In truth everything is about money and a number of industries that simply want to take the profits of vaping for their own good. They are powerful and can control national governments as well as the EU politicians. If we don't do something, vaping as we know it may cease to exist soon. Over the last year a number of people sat together and we agreed the need for the creation of the World Vaping Organisation with the aim to defend vaping as we like it. Please read the following manifesto and join us. Altogether we are very powerful. World Vaping Organisation Manifesto Link Here

Hi to all
The WVO has now been launched for a week, We have about 2300 members. Over 90% of those are vapers and about 200 are vendors. The results from the first week are not bad neither great. Let be honest, for this organisation to have any serious power we need to reach the milestone which is about 50,000 members in our opinion. So we have a lot of work to do in order to reach this number.
Over the last week we realised that there is a certain mistrust between vapers and vendors. The fact that my name as eBaron is underneath the manifesto has created much suspicion between vapers all over the world thinking that this is nothing more than another trade organisation that wants to manipulate the market. This is so far away from the truth, however the fact remains that the vapers are rightly suspicious.
Another major problem that we have is that we are overwhelmed with messages, emails and work that needs to be done, and at the moment unfortunately cannot be done. Basically, we cannot cope. This organisation will need one or two full-time personnel in order to cope. As you understand something like that cannot happen until there are elected directors that can take over and spend the money however they see fit.
Based on the above, we need seriously passionate vapers to step-up and take over the WVO. We will need one person to take over for each of the following regions/countries:
UK Ireland France Italy Spain Greece Germany USA
In addition we will need one person non-vendor, somebody with a specific weight in the vaping world, somebody that the majority of vapers trust, that will take the lead of all the organisation today and organise the elections over the next month.
Hopefully, if we find the above 9 people, these people can run for the elections and the work that they did for the organisation before hand may be rewarded by the members voting for them. The plan for the elections is to be held on January through the website.
It is absolutely essential, if you would seriously like this organisation to succeed, for these leaders to be found immediately. The most important is the overall leader that would organise the elections.
As you know, as eBaron, my aim was to kick start this organisation and then move to the sidelines as an ordinary member. I stick to that. I am not the correct person to be a leader of an organisation such as this because of my status as a major vendor and to be honest I do not have the capabilities and qualities to do such a thing. Over the last few months myself as well as several people from the founder members have put a lot of work, time and money for this organisation to to begin and I believe our work at the front is almost complete.
Have a wonderful Christmas. Georgio / eBaron

The way I see it is: If an organisation is set up for the pro vaping community, it can only be of benefit to us vapers. I do not intend donating anything at present until I see some positive movement in fighting our cause. Embrace any movement that could help stop the bureaucrats enforcing restrictions on e-cigarettes.

JazzyJ I'm guessing you just copied & pasted that last post & that you aren't actually Georgio / eBaron as signed? Out of interest, what has been the response from ECF? WVO must have surely contacted them?
