YES.....Do that!! The individual ECIG Brand's websites are decent.....but the Corporate site needs some help!!
Website appeal/image can have an amazing impact on the perception of the quality of the products and how well a company is run.....Sad but true!!
IMHO
Agree.....People forget all too soon that we were just stuck in the 30's back and forth back down 8%...then back up...repeat...repeat....repeat!!
Now 50% higher and holding pretty well....1 day later and everyone gets impatient like we should have another 60% increase when the market is down.....we'll I should say at-least my stocks are getting hammered!
IMHO it has movement signs of a real stock which I would prefer, just gonna take longer to get where we all know it can go! I think it is still subject to MM action taking it one way or another until it builds a stronger base.....let's just hope it is in the right direction!
Keep reading and re-reading Dan's statements in $41 mill PR.....you just don't throw those types of statements together for the heck of it......they are being very calculated and releasing the proper PR when it is pertinent and necessary.........Be Patient or this is not a stock for you to own!
P.S. Thanks to all of you that share your technical insight & knowledge regarding ECIG.....I don't understand half of it but I can still appreciate it!!
IMHO
I too started inquiring about TDR back on 4/13/15...today's response:

Hit the streets tonight for some more research....purchased some of the Fin V-tanks @ Walgreens.
Pack of (2) Tobacco $12.99
Pack of (2) Nicotine Free on Sale for $6.59.
They also had all of the other flavors...Cherry, Coffee, Vanilla, Grape....etc.
They do not have the AVS system @ Walmart. A couple of weeks ago I bought some of the Fin disposables and took pics of the displays @ Walgreen & Walmart.....Pics below. At Walgreens the Fin display was on the same level as the BL? brand.
Went to Plaid pantry tonight as well.....They only Sell the Mark T*N brand.
Fin Products:
Walgreens Display:
Walmart display (If you can call it that):
$700+ Billion reasons to buy....You can't time the market, so if you like it Buy it!
IMHO
100% Agree with SPROCK72 quote below:
"Seriously, you should not get advice from a message board and you should not invest in any OTC stocks with money you cannot afford to lose."
I invested in ECIG because they are independent of Big T...My broker suggested I invest in one of the Big T boys with as a safer bet......I really do not want to be associated with Big T and felt ECIG had the best position and product line globally and independently!
Big T does not have the best interest at hand for ECIG products.....I say forget the buy-out and let this new management chew in to the $700 Billion dollar Tobacco market!!
IMHO
Hear, Hear!!
I agree....it was a great balance of info/links/news between iHub & ST! Maybe ECIG will get reinstated as our value rises....great start today!
I emailed Stocktwits about the ecig message board and it was apparently removed....see response below:

E-Cigarettes Are Not Tobacco Products
The CDC misleads the public about the hazards of vaping
Original article origin Forbes 4.23.15:

VIP BOUTIQUE VIDEO:
One would think those types of "Boutiques" would be the first thing to close during a companies financial hardship.
I imagine those locations are more of a marketing campaign "Loss Leader" if you will to create brand awareness and loyalty. I have no idea like the rest of us, what is happening behind the scenes........but I look at it as a positive...I would rather see stores opening than closing right now!
It brings me back to the diverse product base they have......it's almost seems as though cigalike's are somewhat obsolete and the personal vaping devices and juices are where it is headed......Good news is ECIG has all of these markets covered in one way or another top to bottom.
IMHO

E-SMOKE AND MIRRORS: THE DEBATE ON E-CIGARETTES’ HK FUTURE
Good Read....4/24/15 Article Below:
http://harbourtimes.com/2015/04/24/e-smoke-and-mirrors-the-debate-on-e-cigarettes-hk-future/
Altria Earnings Beat Estimates, But E-Cigarettes Loom
Article Quote:
"The second issue MO stock is facing is the large push for regulation on the e-cigarette market. While more regulation is not new for Altria, the overall impacts of those regulations and how they will be framed is unknown. Uncertainty is a major weight on any stock, and MO stock will certainly feel it until these regulations are rolled out.
While Altria is the king of cigarettes as it owns the top brand in Marlboro, the e-cig market is still the wild west. It’s filled with lots of little players and no clear sign of a dominant brand at this point. If Altria doesn’t have a top brand when the industry shakes out, MO stock will certainly take a hit, especially if regular cigarette smokers continue to shift to e-cigs."
4.24.15 Article Below:

Total was $164.22.......$52.50 of that was shipping.
I Bought some Vapestick product today Online. A little product research and then will give away to people I know who smoke....customer service was very timely in their responses to my e-mails....let you know when product arrives...I live in Oregon.

I agree....something is happening behind the scenes to help investors recoup their money and I think the silence is part of the plan to "shake the tree" and make small stock holders impatient so they sell.
More Accumulation below the 45 cent wall & then then proper news will begin to be released in a timely orderly fashion!
All of it is speculation and nothing we can do to control it....so if you are confident that this is a Global Market here to stay (And there are $700-$800 Billion Big T reasons that favor ECIG)...sit tight and feel fortunate that you are invested in a company in a huge market in it's infancy that has multiple Brands....Products lines and Global distribution already in place.....in all of what......3 years? Pretty Amazing!

ECIG....Another article from the Guardian 4.20.15
QUOTE:
Lead author Dr Leonie Brose said: “We already know that using an e-cigarette in an attempt to quit smoking increases the chances of success compared to quitting without any support.
Article Link:
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/apr/21/ecigarettes-giving-up-smoking-research-nicotine
H777....When ECIG goes over 75cents is that when they will start converting the warrants or do you think they wait for higher pps for a better return?
Feels like massive accumulation under the 45 cent mark(wall) and then the release will happen over 75cents? I think you have mentioned this in some of your posts previously??
THX
iB12u.......What is your take now that the D is off?
In this time of question and limited information regarding company action are note-holders trying to accumulate as many cheap shares as possible to make back their money?
THX
That's actually the ECIGD chart!
Slice it however you want......the way I see it is ECIG has a much stronger foot-hold un the UK than it does in the US i.e. Vapestick coming stateside! Regulation is good for the industry and good for ECIG in the long run. The over 20mg category of medication is just another opportunity for ECIG to grow.
What an absolute Fascinating Global market in it's infancy and unregulated......true opportunity to get in on the bottom floor with an ECIG company that is not associated in any way with big tobacco!
I realize I can turn on my computer in the morning an all of my investment will be gone in a flash...but there is so much positive upside to this scenario it is hard to ignore. The debt does not lie and I know it will take a lot to turn this around....and maybe even at the expense of the current shareholders.
Besides the current PPS activity what I find intriguing is this does not feel like your normal penny stock situation. In a short time this company has managed to acquire 4 companies and increase their revenue from $1.4m to $43m in 2 years, they have major distribution and infrastructure globally and a product line that covers near the entire Gamut!
It takes money to build a brand and a product and create exposure.....while dealing with the day to day struggles of going up against Big T & the Gov't. Of-course I would prefer the Net loss was not so huge and would probably be more concerned if they did not have the infrastructure, Revenue growth and now proper management with successful track records. The company will come first, I just hope they have the shareholders in mind along the way. None of us are MM's and so there is more speculation than there are answers right now.............time will tell!
One thing is for sure.......everyday with ECIG is a new adventure!
IMHO
Ecigs and relationship to quiting smoking!
Quote from article:
"The American Heart Association has said physicians shouldn't discourage e-cigarette use as a last resort for smokers seeking to quit."
Quote from article:
"In the U.K., e-cigarettes will be licensed as medicines by next year, along with other products such as nicotine gum and patches, under rules approved in 2013."

I purchased ECIG stock post RS and have a small (under water) position here....I added more shares today to average down as I am sure most have tried to do if possible.
Most of my other stocks would be considered lower risk-safe bets-blue chips if you will. I do not smoke electronic or regular cigarettes but I have been extremely intrigued by the potential health value and opportunity this product has in the Global scheme of things.
As advised by my broker, I would be better off investing in the major tobacco company and their electronic products blu, Vuse etc. I did not want to invest in big tobacco and ECIG is an opportunity for me to get in with a company on the ground floor that is focused solely on electronic cigarettes/vaping.
I know there is huge risk here.....but I feel the potential upside can be even bigger with time.
Out of curiosity of the availability, last Friday I went to Walgreens and Walmart which are less than a half mile away from each other and purchased some Fin disposables (RICH & BOLD). I took pictures of both displays which I am failing to figure out how to add to the post. The Walgreens display was much more organized with more product. Final sales @ Walgreens sold them for $4.98ea and Walmart was $4.50ea. I live in Oregon. Thanks all!
All the above IMHO
