Dgahan, was the email sent to your yahoo email or is there a Ihub email location?

Thanks

I agree emailing from investors but my Friday email was short and sweet wanting to know about the shipment of my product only. Are you saying when a customer wants to know about the product he purchased it is not important. I don't care how many emails he gets a day, hire a minimum wage flunky to answer those types of emails to inform the customer what the status of his purchase. Chunky, customer statisfaction is what matters in business and it is called communication so Get Real!!

Ordered last Tuesday emailed Friday on site no reply yet

Malvern I sent Ken the email below although I didn't ask him your questions (he probably wouldn't respond to me either) hopefully he will send me an email address that will respond. Will let the board know if I get a reply.

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Starter Kit order #749 on June 21st, and have not received any correspondence from the company as to the fulfillment and shipment. I emailed the company (on the website) last week with no reply. I am not only a consumer but also a shareholder in SFIO. I would like to get an email address from someone in the company that I can ask some questions. I have heard rumors that the company has moved to a larger warehouse for shipment of the product, and this is the reason for delays. Although I do not have any facts that this is the case. I look forward to hearing from you on the above questions.

Topdog the financing has to be in place (whatever the source) before any deals can be signed. No Distribution company is going to stick their neck out on a company that can't deliver product. Now I'm not saying SFIO doesn't have that backing, the problem is we don't know.

Malvern always remember to stay the course unless something fundamentally changes within the company. I know it is frustrating I am myself. As of yet we have not seen that except for lack of PR's (running out of product hopefully growing pains), that doesn't neccessarily mean something is wrong just maybe they don't have anything to offically say right now. Remember if a major PR comes out of this company the stock will react like it did in the middle of May. I really don't think this company has came this far since 2009 to not reap the rewards. Yes in hind sight they haven't handled it exactly right. I believe they know that their previous PR's are fluff and they are waiting for real news. I would like to see this board talk about the company and issues like you did in your previous post. By the way you are fat fingering your IPAD again ...Ha-Ha

Malvern, I would also like to add to your early morning post about their financing (or lack of). As you know I have posted about this issue a few times and no one seems to want to jump in on it, except for a few people saying the company is selling shares. I sure hope their not selling shares at .03 - .04 cents, if they are their not getting much. We need to know that this company has some sort of available capital ( whether partner or credit line) to launch a major distribution. I don't think any replicable Distribution company will take them on without it. By the way I'm not a Cowboy just a huge Dallas Cowboy football fan since youth. When the heck are they going to settle the lock out.

I'll email him what is his email address? Is in on the site and what is his title he isn't listed as management. I'll also ask him where my starter kit is I purchased the 21st. Although I will say it has not officially hit my credit card it is listed as pending still. That doesn't sound like much but I don't think they will send it through until shipment. By the way I liked your 1:38 am post

Hey ajrum why would you think the PPS would go up because they offer menthol? Nobody knows about it except us

So from June 21st #749 @11:00 am to today #783 approx. 34 orders, of course we don't know what these orders contained.

I agree and you are also talking major financing to pay your suppliers for those kits and filters. Where is the capital going to come from?

Do they still charge higher prices for stocks under $3.00? I bought AIG in my IRA when it was .38 (pre reverse split) years back and it was outrageous.

How do you think the will get the inventory to the Distributers thru a garage? Remember they put the items together than ship. Sequence should be larger facility, sign distributers get mass inventory to supply them. Were talking thousands of kits and filters.

edawgy, have you bought SFIO thru Fidelity?

Mine was June 21st #749 not shipped yet

If you have read earlier I'm awaiting mine to be shipped. I'm not knocking it I'm wondering why everyone else are, when a lot of the posters were earlier saying how good it was. You need to read the history of peoples posts before you tell them to move on, I have been very positive about the stock

What's going on, for the last 2 weeks everyone was saying what a good product it was now all of a sudden its junk??

Yes Fluffy I agree good review (unfortunately I'm still waiting mine). Hopefully this is due to SFIO demanding inventory from their Germany and China manufactures. As we know in any product ramp-up there will be a certain percentage of failures (which you want minimal) and hopefully in time this is corrected.

I just got of work sorry for all the posts, I wanted to throw something out there to the thread. You would think SFIO has been working on Distribution deals the last few years awaiting the FDA's decision on how they would regulate Ecigs. With that in mind the last PR said they were working Distribution deals and are awaiting approval. When contracts come down to the nitty gritty, the last minute details can take some time. Also they said they are awaiting permission to release the Distribution companies names. The deals may be done and this is the sticky point, who knows. The good thing is if they announce deals then this means major distribution for SFIO, and they have to have the inventory to satisfy the Distribution Channels. They also have to be able to Market their product, unfortunately the website right now is word of mouth (mostly from sites like this). This is really what we want SFIO to get correct, and I guarantee SFIO will have a name for itself and the rest will take care of itself. Sorry for the long post ... you don't know how long this took me to type as I'm a 2 fingered pecker. Good Luck to as all!!

Workin I agree the next PR's have to have some meat on the bone to move the PPS. Just saying they have moved and have more inventory will not do it .... same old story. I believe this penny needs to be recognized by NYSE & Nasdaq buyers who don't normally buy pennies but like the story. I myself was turned on to this stock thru Jammin Java that I seen on Yahoo Finance. I checked out there message board and SFIO was mentioned. After doing some DD I bought SFIO because of their story. Just my opinion but I'm sticking with it..Ha-Ha. Still waiting shipment

I ordered Tuesday it says still in fullfillment, hope I get extra filters as some here have said.

It doesn't matter what a chart says there is no penny stock that is a safe bet even SFIO. A penny stock is gambling not investing because so many of them can't make it. Do I think SFIO can make it well I'm gambling on it. Do they have the money to back them, who knows I can't find anything about a financial source, can anyone else. The only PR I seen was for $400K a few years back. Everyone says there moving to a bigger place, okay does that mean from a garage to a pole barn, again nobody knows. How many employees does SFIO have, can they handle a major distribution channel. Until you know the answers to these questions you are gambling. IMO

SFIO safest place ........ man what else do you invest in if this is the safest??

Yeah..... I knew you weren't illiterate

Malvern I agree with you but Brother you need to spell check!!

This is excerpt from SFIO's news wire.


LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - 04/26/11) - Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (Pinksheets:SFIO - News), an established international distributor of e-cigarettes (http://www.sfio.us or http://www.realsmokefree.com), echoed the good news today through its President and CEO Thomas Schroepfer, that "The Food and Drug Administration said Monday it plans to regulate smokeless electronic cigarettes as tobacco products and won't try to regulate them under stricter rules for drug-delivery devices. The federal agency said in a letter to stakeholders Monday that it intends to propose rule changes to treat e-cigarettes the same as traditional cigarettes and other tobacco products. The news is considered a victory for makers and distributors of the devices, which continue to gain popularity worldwide." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110425/ap_on_bi_ge/us_fda_electronic_cigarettes_3)
On the advice of its attorneys in Washington, D.C., Smokefree has refrained from marketing its REAL e-cigarette in the United States pending such a pronouncement by the FDA, and now feels vindicated in its approach to be among only a few companies that have maintained full compliance with FDA regulations and directives, as it does around the world where its products are marketed.

Yes I agree, it would be THC instead of nicotine which would definetly be controlled different than tobacco. IMHO

I agree with you a distribution PR could get this moving, it sure has been basing here for awhile. It did drop to 2.5 (very short time) and then came back to 3.5 to 4ish. With 545 million shares outstanding and ~ 345 million float it will take high volume days to get this moving. Look what it did in mid May with those 85 mil to 120 mil volume days. Unfortunately not enough momentum at that time to substain rise. We need adequate news that this company isn't a fly by night penny (which I truly believe) so the short term gainers want to go long. I also here a lot on the thread about the SHORTS, you would think they would cover because I can't believe there is much down share price from here, and a major upside going forward. Just my 2 cents

Maybe I'm wrong here but I don't think they went for FDA approval, I think they were waiting to see how the FDA was going to regulate ecigs as nicotine delivery devices or as tobacco. Tobacco won out.

I agree they do want the "true Marj." feeling but the FDA could step in and say all Medicinal Marijuana must be smokeless. Would then bold well for SFIO

Does anyone worry about what kind of operating cash SFIO has on hand. When I went through their past PR's I only remember one PR saying they got like a $400,000 credit line. This is nothing trying to launch a product like this. Any info on the bottom line??

Agreeded just getting itchy I guess

I agree, isn't it Whalen that is also Vice President of EBS worldwide distributers, and Tammy Dunn has distributer connections. This has to be why their with the company ... so lets getter done

cj I believe you took the below excerpt from the Public Relations tab on their website, which probaly hasn't been updated since 2009. If you look at the tab "Product Launch" just above it you can tell it was written in 2009. I'm not saying your wrong just I'm not sure if it is updated.

It is right on their website!
SFIO plans to start targeted PR actions at least one month prior to the hard launch of the product. These actions will be coordinated by the SFI Marketing Department together with the local distributor.

http://www.smokefree-innotec.com/marketing/public-relations

The HARD LAUNCH... I like the sound of that. I am licking my chops!!

Hello Everyone, I have been reading posts on this site for a couple weeks now and figured it is time to join. You really have a good forum here, and I hope I can contribute from time to time. I do have a question for the board on the excerpt from the latest PR.
"Mr. Roth further stated, "Meanwhile, SFIO management has been busy travelling and meeting with representative of international companies to arrange joint distribution of other SFIO products on a world wide basis, to bring to bear additional manpower and financial resources to augment SFIO's existing efforts in Europe and Australia/New Zealand. Further announcements will be made as contracts are executed and permission obtained to use the names of our new venture partners in press releases."
I noticed this said International distribution but nothing about domestic (USA) distribution. Do you think they just wrapped everything in the word International?

Thanks,
