i bought some musclepharm as a result of researching the Frost crew. That company will get bought in a couple years.
i'm just glad that VPCO didn't die on the table, i took a brief buying hiatus, but i am encouraged by this, so ill probably put a $100 a paycheck into this wave on the ride up. i think this will have serious momentum by Q2.
this has been a painful 2014. i take it VAPO benefits buying up a NASDAQ listed entity. I am trying to figure out how this could potentially fall through. I see the VAPO guys are busy men with MusclePharm and other ventures, are they just trying to turn the keys over to VPCO management and commit their time to their other ventures? is this just a way of hiring more people?
the penalty for breaking the merger seems relatively cheap, what happens to the Emagine stores if the JV is dissolved? i feel like this likely to go through, I don't think VPCO side would dare break the deal, but i could also see how VAPO could go on without us.
its in the yellow banner "news alert"
watched IVG's most recent youtube video, i think its an interesting bellwether. they said they have 80 stores in the plans. with some quick math, the $25 million in new financing means VPCO could open 300-400 stores (60k in starting cash)
their branded products stink, management needs to be honest with itself. i like the emagine brand and concept, but nothing cool about krave, etc.
Or look at it as onboarding smarter people?
I think vpco guys weren't confident in managing retail. The Vapo guys are also MusclePharm investors, they have built businesses before. Vapo is in the same backyard, they got a model that is ready to scale, might as well join them. Another quarter of doing nothing and this stock would have been .10¢
fair points, but we got one level further than with IVG. i don't see how it falls apart really. Vapor is Nasdaq already and would take a long time for VAPO to get listed on there, I'm sure Vapor is dangling the Kavanaugh "carrot" as well. these vapor shops will allow them to dump all the old inventory in the coming months.
both sides need to see value here, VPCO only closed up 3% today. had this deal gone south for some reason, VPCO would have been in the same boat as ECIG.
And we have regained traction finally, that tailspin wasn't good for my heart.
no i wont
wheels are in motion
On December 8, 2014, Emagine the Vape Stores, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Emagine”) managed by Vaporin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Secured Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of December 1, 2014, with one affiliated shareholder of the Company and two unaffiliated investors (the “Lenders”). Under the Agreement, the Lenders agreed to advance up to $3,000,000 in three equal tranches in exchange for secured promissory notes which mature on March 31, 2016, bear interest at 12% per annum, and are secured by a first lien on the assets of Emagine. The first tranche of funding under the Agreement was provided on December 1, 2014.
The funds will be used to purchase and/or open Vape Stores similar to those operated by the Company. Although no formal agreement has been executed, the Company has agreed that it and Vapor Corp. will each own 50% of Emagine. For further information, see the Form 8-K filed November 7, 2014 disclosing the proposed merger of the Company into Vapor Corp.
dr. frost got a shout out on Jim Cramer last night.
6 days until deal announcement finalized, i hope...
Need this merger, both sides need each other.
Scary stuff with ECIG, If you look at Vapo market cap to store ratio its 1.5-2m a store. I don't think that is a crazy number. Vpco has a heftier valuation per store (albeit they are mostly kiosks). I am interested to see what 2014 growth plans are. I have to believe they could put kiosks down at a much faster rate than stores. They need to dominate online and come up with a zamplebox subscription model.
We need this merger to happen, that would make two billionaires with Frost and Kavanaugh owning this thing. I'm very impressed with the musclepharm chart. I could see the $10 pop happening soon with this merger (12-18 months). Would be interesting to see if they could get mods and liquids into Costco like musclepharm, I have seen nJoy and Blu in there before, no mods though.
i hope this VAPO deal goes through, im sure vpco management is watching. ECIG is a cautionary tale.
ecig below .10
wow.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusclePharm
Frost was with Muscle Pharm too, its in the wiki
ya he should, he distributed in the Kansas City area. he would be the guy to talked to on this board.
my guess is he posted on this board 6 months ago
there was a guy with a user name like Mike83 or something like that who has posted on the board 6 months back
Just saw that Honig was early MusclePharm shareholder
i have a sense that emagine vapor is going to be mall kiosks only with online sales for novices and VAPO will open stores.
finally the store locator link works on the website, they just launched the instagram page.
we are getting there (slowly)
so we are less than 2 weeks from knowing the final conclusion
hang on guys! im all vpco
cant be sure, maybe people will flock to us instead. i got to believe vpco has pretty much bottomed out. we always knew ECIG was juiced. Better close this VAPO deal though!
The death of ECIG? This strengthens our cause. Also a reminder of how volatile this ride is going to be, need to close this vapo deal and lay more brick and mortar down.
ECIG is down 30%+
Down goes Frazier!
ECIG is being battered, I think the arbitrage in the e cigarette sector is almost complete. Time to reload.
i suppose its a credible article, way short on specifics...
Chinese liquid? USA liquid? Only if its burnt too hot? im no chemist, so i am not discounting it.
Big liquid manufacturers are all online sales
MadVapes comes to mind(SE, Texas, NE). Maybe NicVape liquid manufacturing in SC. I'm sure there is a big chain out West.
I saw Republic Tobacco bought a 50% stake in Jonhson Creek (Blu Liquid)
carpet bomb stores in 2015. I bet when this beast has 100 stores, the market cap will be 500m+
Need to buy up a big chain when this thing stabilizes
anyone see ECIG today? took a beating
they need to figure out online really
this thing will go on a run at some point in 2015, will hit double digits. looking forward to the vaporin team becoming a figure head, just bought this thing at the wrong time...
baby steps...
emaginevapor.com looks great, very "vaporfi-esque"
just bought a few more shares for morale
lets get those guys on Mad Money! we need a gimmick!
