I would just settle for a partner who agrees with vaping at all! My husband is an ex-smoker who smoked 40 a day and quit 25 yrs ago, cold turkey. He doesn't understand why every smoker can't do the same! Lol! Everyone's different, I don't plan on quitting vaping. I have no problem with my nicotine habit it was the burning of tobacco that did me harm

I have it saved as a JPEG at the moment as it was designed on my phone. I'll see if I can convert the file to something that will be more easily work-with-able

I'm not sure about an award, I've certainly seen better coils but for a first attempt it wasn't bad. Perhaps some positive encouragement rather than an award

Does your partner often complain that you spend too much time talking about vaping? Does your partner say things like "we never do anything fun anymore" and "why don't you ever take me to a fancy restaurant like Tom does with Melissa"......or something vaguely similar? Do you have important vaping duties to complete such as rebuilding your atomisers and mixing juice? Well now, with Dr. Dave's (not a real doctor but people won't take it seriously otherwise) vaping for couples programme you can achieve the marital bliss you always dreamed of. Last night my wife was surprised and elated as I said "I've planned an activity we can do to spend more time together", as she hurried to fetch me a drink and listen to what I had arranged excitedly I smiled at her, held her hand and said those 9 little words every girl dreams of hearing....."I'm going to teach you to build a coil"....well she could hardly contain herself. We hurried off to the kitchen where I had laid the table romantically with kitchen roll, cotton wool and screwdrivers of varying sizes. Sat side by side with the incandescent glow of a dual micro coil in the distance (I don't know why it was glowing, I must've left the locking mechanism off and sat it on the bottom firing button) I talked my wife through building her first coil. Well needless to say all her dreams were made and I now have the benefit of improved productivity as she can recoil some of my RBA's when the time comes freeing me up to handle the more complex tasks. Dr Dave's (still not a real doctor) vaping for couples programme really is everything it promises to be*
There's no need to thank me
*the vaping for couples programme does not promise to be anything.

If you do several davelockin, each with a different part of the message I think folk will pay more attention to new ones as they come along. A mini series rather than an epic movie? How about this for a future one? If governments say it's legal to die slowly from SMOKINGThen why the hurry to legislate against Vaping?
Trying to keep to the 'question around a statement' format is hard but worth it I think for continuity.Yeah I think the question around a statement format is good because it feels less like we're telling people what to think and more like we're asking them to think for themselves. I also love that future statement suggestion.

I like it, it does then become even more important that these are well shared and people follow it up by looking into what they're all about though or the actual message we're trying to convey is lost

If each image was hash tagged with the #freetovape tag it wouldn't have to be immediately clear what the statements refer to as they could use the hash tag to find all posts relating to the topic

I agree it's a great idea but the points raised are valid. The most successful campaigns use bold headlines and very short punchy statements. I think it would be better if you had the headline and one or two lines of text. How about multiple ad's with identical formatting, each with a different headline and split the message between them. I only read it to the end because I already have an interest in the message, I usually ignore ad's like this. Sounds like a good idea. It becomes more of an individual campaign then, which is fine with me but that wasn't the initial intention as I know there are already people working extremely hard on this. This was just my small contribution. If anyone has any ideas for shorter 'headline' type statements you'd like to get out there feel free to inbox me and I'll have a play around.

Too much text. People are incredibly lazy when it cokes to reading stuff on the webternet. Make it snappier, more visual I could just day 'vaping makes you look cool'? in all seriousness I do understand what you're saying but there is a certain amount of info that we NEED to get out there, I'm not saying this is perfect but I hope it does what it's intended to do. If it was just to say "don't let them ban vaping" or something that you can read at a glance I don't think it would have as much weight to it...

I think the second sentence is wrong. If they had the cure they would let people continue to smoke and people would want to continue because the risk of cancer had now gone and the Govt could still receive the tax. You're probably right, the fact that they would ban e-cigarettes and continue to sell tobacco certainly suggests a lack of concern for public health and more of a vested interest. That's what I want from this post though, for it to cause people to question these things them self

Hi everyone, I created an image recently that I hope will grab people's attention and cause them to really think about the troubles we're facing with legislation proposals and this apparent war on vaping. My hope is that as many people as possible share this image either via social media or by physically printing it and sharing it as they feel appropriate. I think this has the potential to go viral and perhaps encourage those who are unaware of the issues or those who have negative feelings towards vaping to look again, or look deeper into the issue and find out the truth.

Hi Dave, was pleased to see that you'd joined the forum here. I checked out UKV a couple of days ago and found out about Gus Mods. Followed that up with your review on the G16 and I was ready to go. Finally here was a mod that I could actually buy. It was great that I could see it close up and you were the first and only, as far as I could see, to do a review. Had a difficult decision, as I found the 18350 appealing, but was swayed, partly from your review, partly because I already desired a GP Piccolo and Spheroid, to go for the G16 with the Steam Machine. Hope you get the Steam Machine sometime as it would also make another interesting review. So thanks, this will be my first mech mod and also appears to be a good deal in terms of quality and value for money. By other accounts the steam machine is good for flavour and a relatively easy set-up for newbies. Well thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the review and found it helpful! I've had a few people contact me about that review that own/have owned a G16 and they all say that they love(d) it. I spoke to a guy who owns the piccolo as well and he says he prefers the GUS. Interestingly I've just been looking at the steam machine thinking I like the look of that...hmm...maybe after payday! I hope you enjoy the mod, i'm sure you'll be happy with it. If you've any questions please feel free to contact me and I'll try and help you out.
