How is the nicotene released from the nanobeads? What is the catalyst for the reaction? With REAL we know it is heated.
Believe that have relatives who smoked then quit. Where in the thin range when smoking now are obese.
I just added pillows to each side of my chair. After yesterday it started to hurt when I fell off laughing at a certain posters share count.
I'm glad for the person if they have that kind of bank but at a certain point it gets obvious like you pointed out.
But hey I have an aunt who was very wealthy who saved ketchup packets. At one Thanksgiving the family debate was over what saving strategy put her over the top into millionaire status. Saving the packets won. Maybe having a free i-hub account is this persons ketchup packets.
Only believe verifiable DD on message boards. Notice my last post I said "last post of the day".
If that persons claims are true great. I want everybody here to make bank but telling us what one owns or makes is like telling us all the info you just did in your post to me (I can do math).
No one on any board I post on will know how much I own or what I made on a play. Reeks of amateurism IMO. Last post of the day. Really, really it is this time.
I apologize! that it took me a few minutes to respond to your post. I pulled a Cartman and fell out of my chair laughing. Last post of the day.
And yet you invested all "this" money LOL.
Sounds like that is all that is being done right now anyways. Plenty of stabs were taken at it prior to you showing up and asking questions about it.
Wouldn't look for any "fluff" news from SFIO; appears the SEC is doing a little crackdown on the PINKS. WE should be glad.

Been thinking about this today regarding pattens and distribution. The scenario regards the patten of Runyun and those companies who are using their technology illegally.
Would a distributor enter into a contract to distribute a new product like an e-cig with a startup company who's product is not patented and is using technology without permission from those who developed the technology?
Do they take that risk of purchasing large volumes of product only to have to pull the product from the shelves later on when possible legal action is threatened?
I don't know where distributors fall in this game. We do know that this is not an issue with SFIO as they own the patten for their product. Any thoughts or additions would be welcome.
This might be relevant here:
I just read this post from another Board so I decided to borrow it. Seems to clear up some questions we have had in the recent past regarding MM's not showing there order size. Read below.
MM's are not required to show size if they are selling, shorting, or buying for their own inventory.
when you see a MM sitting at the ask selling from a 5,000 reflection (and it doesn't decrease when hit) it is either a short or someone with enough clought in the market to have a broker with an MM in his pocket (this would generally be a finance guy) and on the flip side of that when you see a MM sitting on the bid with a 5,000 reflection and they are taking shares with no decrease in the reflected size...it would be a MM either taking in inventory to go long or covering a short
this of course doesn't take into account those that trade with AON's but they are usually rare because it is a tough fill
once again they have skewed the rules to keep the playing field sloped toward the institutions.
Appears as if they know what the future is and are launching a salvo to see if they can create a product to address the smokeless movement. It might be cheaper for them to do so now but as the e-cigs gain traction it most likely will be more expensive for them in the long run (lost revs and or buy out of one or more e-cig co.'s)
Must have took my post wrong. I am waiting for HP's information that he is suppost to have, which I highly doubt he does. I could give two squirts of bodily fluid what is in the phantom "report" as well. I totally support this company and their endeavors moving forward as most do.
Appears someone exited too early and wants back in at a discount. I am in agreement with you though. Am very interested to find out about these hedge funds who have paid to put this so called report together regarding TS and SFIO. Smells south of cheese to me.
Not worried about a thing. Stated that several times in the past. I am doing as you say just relaxing and waiting for the big launch.

I got 1 of the 4 starter kits I ordered. But because they ran out of filters they did not send me the remaining 3 kits with the filters they are to come with. Sent them an e-mail and was told they will send me the remaining three kits and filters plus an extra carton of filters for my trouble. Perfect Customer Service if you ask me.
Gave the kit I did receive to my nextdoor neighbor and he informed me he will be buying filters for it rather than regular cigs and is going to let all his smoking friends try the product as well.
He fits into the perfect demographic for the company under 30 and goes to the bars often. Now he can enjoy his nic buzz without going outside.
e-mail customer service. they will contact you.
Suspicious? Just did some DD as well.
In your own words LOL

Re: Nilbud post# 2246859 Post # of 2274551
BUT HOW MUCH WERE YOU COMPENSATED TO SAY THAT?
PUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL
Good call.
As I posted yesterday I purchased 4 starter kits and 1 pack of filters last monday. I received 1 starter kits and 1 pack of filters. I contacted the company and they said they were going to send me my 3 kits next week when the new shipment arrives.
So I am assuming they ran out of kits as well.
Good catch Platero, I looked at it as cartons of filters at $16.
I hope you are right in your interpretation of starter kits vs. cartons. I am taking it as cartons of filters which equals $300,000 + if all are sold. Which, like you say with no contracts is impressive.
Agree, but we all know that person will create another alias and post some more. Probably already has. At least we know this devil.
Product wise those 19,600 cartons are over $300,000 in product. Selling all that product on a word of mouth basis is huge at this stage of the game.
I was told in an e-mail from the company regarding an incomplete order they would be shipping new product to customers in a couple days. The e-mail was sent yesterday.
Most likely did not bring in a large amount of product in their first shipment as it was their first to clear customs and to be sold. Second shipment should be significantly higher. Patience.
Thanks for making your first post ever on the SFIO board.
Absolutely! Businesses are not going to want to be in the business of investigating patrons to see if what is coming from their mouth is vapor or cig smoke. Nor are the states who ban smoking. Businesses will just side with the states ruling regarding no smoking as it is simpler to enforce and is becoming the status quo.
The Rush Limbaugh incident is a prime example. He was smoking an vapor e-cig in a restaurant and was asked to put it out. He explained what it was and was again asked to not use it in the restaurant.
Had an incomplete order sent to me. I ordered 4 starter kits and one carton of filters, SFIO sent me 1 starter kit and 1 pack of filters. I e-mailed them yesterday regarding the issue, their response is below. All is good for those who can wait IMO.

Smoke Real Store Said:
Hi,
We will begin shipping in the next few days. We will send your (3) starter kits and a Free filter box of your choice. Let me know what flavor. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience.
What does Astral Coke have to do with SFIO? Can you spell it out for us who aren't as smart?
Sang, I agree. Use to bartend before the smoking bans took place. Sold tons of cigs at ridiculous prices.
Beings how their is no shipping charges right now, couldn't your friends load up on the kits and filters at the current prices? Or do the need to have a lower purchase price to get the needed profit margin?
E.Y. Makes sense to me. I sometimes get frustrated with some who post regarding why they ran out. Just trying to communicate a different angle of why they may not have shipped a massive amount of product for their first shipment as some wish they would have. I for one am happy they did run out and look forward to the future here.
Keep posting to keep us sane.
Well said. What's a newspaper LOL?
CJ not disputing anything SFIO has stated. My reply to current limited product availability by some folks here is not logical.
I was making a case for the reason SFIO ran out of product to ship to customers on their initial launch.
Basically stated that it makes sense for a company like SFIO to ship limited amounts of product through customs on their first attempt. Since the initial shipment was cleared it makes sense that their next shipments would be larger as they know they will clear customs in the future.
That answers your questions they have additional shipments coming in. Did they say they will be here by a certain date? No. Does it suck that they ran out? Yes. Do you think they wanted to have no more product to move to buyers after the initial shipment was received?
Are we investors or traders?
If I were the competition I would buy some of the product. If I were on one of these e-cig chat boards and I wanted to try a new product I would buy one.
The fastest growing segment in marketing right now is network marketing. Hell they are even teaching business classes about it at Ivy League schools.
Not saying that SFIO is out making cold calls to every person in America about their product. But the internet is a huge marketing tool which few have mastered the use of.
If SFIO only shipped in 1000 packs of e-cigs, those could be gone in a day with the shipping stipulations they have (max 6 per order).
I didn't hear that. Was that from SFIO or was that from the IHUB board? If that is what management said then you have a beef.
I personally ordered 4 starter kits and an order of filters and my order # was 487. Yesterday I received one starter kit and one box of filters. I did not receive the other three today and called the company and left a message. Will e-mail as well.
My position is one of patience and level headedness right now as the product just hit the store last week.
I also feel that T.S. is concerned with investor value as opposed to daily value of SFIO.
Think about it. If you ran a company that was shipping a product into the U.S. for the first time, and that product had been blackballed by the FDA for years would you ship a large shipment? What if that shipment didn't pass customs and was being held indefinitely? Then you were out product to sell elsewhere.
Now SFIO can ship the same product with increased volume into the U.S. with little worries of it not passing customs due to a traceable history of passing customs.
Just sent an e-mail to NBC for a possible segment on Celebrity Apprentice.
Possible idea for a future celebrity apprentice. As Mr. Trump has shown through his endorsement of ACN in prior Celebrity Apprentice episodes, I would like to add a possible business sector for Mr. Trump to consider promoting which is very relevant to the city of New York. Smoke Free Innotec has recently come out with a tobacco free and smoke free electronic cigarette which may be a very interesting product and concept for contestants on the show to promote. I have included the e-mail address of the company below if you would like to consider this possibility. I love the show and will continue watching it.
Wouldn't they have to file publicly if the SS has changed?
Correct!! Could be a lawsuit waiting to happen for the rest. Like having the jockey fall off the horse right out of the gate.
