Lo-o-v-e the photos! Especially that first one with Vaccaro in handcuffs. May they never come off. Scumbag.
And Dear Dror. You look so sad, dude! I'm sooo glad they called out your ankle bracelet. I can just imagine you limping around town with it on.
May you ALL DIE in hard-labor prison and go to hell. I want my hard earned investment dollars back, languishing in VPOR and POTN.
Also so cool they published photos of the defense attorneys. I hope these cases ruin your careers.
THANK YOU UNNAMED FBI AGENTS. I'd send you Starbucks gift cards if I could.
What was the news this morning? I must have missed it.
Awesome document. Thank you for posting.
AND, I'm going to go so far as to say this to the author of the bots, who I know is scanning this because their curiosity would be great to see how well his toys fooled all of us (or what effect they had on the share price).
You need to add some NLP interpretation to the bots. It is just about as easy to read the response postings via code as it is to post new ones. There are plenty of shareware NLP modules out there. Add one to your software so you can get a sense of what real people are saying to your bots, so they can issue some sort of response to them... Even if you just take an excerpt of what was written by a human poster, repeat part of it, and then issue one of your autonomic phrases. Can you do that? Come on, you put so much work into the automatic posting, do a little more and make them more sentient. Even Alexa sometimes sounds like she is human.
THEN re-run them and truly make this ticker move. Please?
I noticed the multitude of repeated phrasing amongst the conversations too. I thought the repetition was odd but if it *was* a bot it surely does make sense. Obviously some human "seeded" what they were going to say and then pushed START and off went the non-stop dialog. Some of the replies came seconds after a posting. No one I know has time to sit around for an afternoon and just repeatedly post into a board like this. A good added "human" touch was that occasional screenshot of the bid / ask volume. I thought that was clever.
What we need is news like in the last 2 weeks of a CVS or a Walgreens picking up this line. Wouldn't that be cool. Then we would be off to the races.
I'm actually a little disappointed how quickly they came and went so fast. Did you check out how many followers they had? And how long they have had accounts on here? I don't think bots were working that well in the 2000s. I added up follower counts on 4 of them (b,j,z,l) and got 3,375. I checked their 'create alias' dates and got 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011. I think they were different people.
I understand your caution and concern for the uninformed. I would assume they would do some DD and historical checking before investing. I am a DBH and would like to bail out of here... A little PnD would be good.
Now I know what a super hype machine looks like. That was fun.
PS. You can't build hype in 2 furious days. It takes weeks, sometimes months, to fabricate and relentlessly reinforce to get belief to grow. Come on guys, where's your stamina, your diligence. What kind of hype builders are you.
Jenny, you are still monitoring this board?
Post again in the first week of January and tell us how wonderful this company is. Please, share your enthusiasm some more. I would like one single ray of hope that this will get back to double 00's.
Give some reason also. You can do that, can't you? ...considering you seem to have omniscient information.
Thank you. Truly.
I didn't get an email notice either. Anyone doing software or marketing QA over there?
Hell, I'd settle for half of that.
"Note 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $ 1,916,690 as of December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ 3,121,723 at December 31, 2017. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital, further implement its business plan and to generate additional revenues.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern."
Are you freakin' kidding me?
Yeah, I don't think so. Three weeks ago, I personally visited Reefer Dispensary, a large operation a quarter mile off the strip, and THEY are not carrying it. Never heard of it. Please list for us the outlets in Vegas that are carrying this wonderful product.
"wait for 0.0001 and then buy"
Too late for that, man. I'm in big time long. Went in when it was ~.0030. Need it to get close to that again before I bail.
I'm just really disappointed that the management doesn't seem to be serious about running this as a successful business. If they did, it would fly.
Thanks for your comment though.
Regarding your "fading grinder" comment... I just got back from a conference in Las Vegas. While there, took a walk to a major cannabis outlet there, Reef Dispensary, just 1/2 mile off the strip. They have a huge building with 15 foot high letters spelling out their name facing the strip. At 8:00am, there must have been 12 people working the counter, with as many product stations - all well laid out with many canisters of cannabis buds. I had a conversation with one the workers behind the counter. They don't carry any electric grinders, she has never heard of EZ Grinder.
So I ask a fairly basic rhetorical question about these facts... Major cannabis retail outlet, multi-state presence, huge visibility in LV, high volume operation. WHY DON'T THEY CARRY THIS PRODUCT ?!? It fits right within their product mix!!!
WHY HASN'T SOMEONE IN VPOR SALES GONE DOOR TO DOOR AT THESE COMPANIES?
Hello, McFly, anybody home?

A Large Investor (losing faith)
An entry to the wine cork scene. It's probably been out for awhile. Saw a compelling TV commercial for it this morning.
Coravin cork tool
(No, it's not a competitor to Simple Cork, but it's interesting there is some new buzz in this sector.)
The "insider" was you. YOU are the one that stated those figures last week. You are spreading your propaganda across many boards to make it look real.
I'm sorry. I have to point this out. The title of this video is incorrect. "Easy Grinder how its works" is incorrect. There should not be an 's' on 'it' so the phrase should be "Easy Grinder how it works".
Worse, the actual video also has it misspelled [0:47], so that is going to be impossible to fix. Also, she repeatedly pronounces the word "herb" with an audible 'h' sound. In the US, we do not pronounce the 'h' (it is pronounced 'erb'). Go look it up and see for yourself. [Google 'pronounciation herb'].
It's bad enough I have to read postings on this board with people constantly misspelling words [like using 'their' for 'there' and vice versa] and really bad grammar like no one went past 3rd grade, but now a dumb misspelling is also in a YouTube video. No wonder only 148 people have watched it since it was published Oct 3.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a Negatard. I am long here. Really, really long. I want this to succeed. I'm just looking for a little professionalism and correctness in things.
I echo this sentiment 1000%.
Yaniv, time to step up and show you are the leader of not only this company, but a significant player in the emerging MJ market. You CAN do this.
Your reward for doing so will be manyfold the couple of dollars you'll net from the alleged shenanigans others are claiming you are doing behind the scenes.
Still here. Double digit millions.
Y will pull this through because the product is too damn good. I loaned out my EG a month ago to trial at a dispensary, and I haven't got it back yet!
Hello, McFly!
I plan to grab a mil or so 19s early next week. Keep the price low a few more days so my funds can clear. (18s would be even better)

Jeez, I step away from the board for a day and a half and there are over 120 new messages. Nice work Audi on your visit to the show.
PS - "All In" also means sticking with this even though the PPS is down. Looking forward to a nice ride up.
People please, think about this in perspective.
VPOR conceived of an idea and brought it to market. It is well engineered and has had many favorable reviews.
The product has only been available 2 months and about 1 week. That's it!
Senior management has been scrambling with dealing with manufacturing logistics, marketing, attending numerous trade shows (successfully too, I might add), meeting with and signing distributors and the logistics of dealing with them, making the product available on Amazon, inevitable issues with proper running of a public company and the financials associated with it, and who knows what else they are dealing with behind the scenes. Think about all they are going through. It would drive any of us crazy. Have YOU ever started a business? I have. It's an insane time.
I have been fortunate enough to have had lengthy conversations with someone who has met with them in person, and able to discuss many business topics. Dror and Yaniv are working hard. For themselves and employees? Yes, building a solid company. For customers? yes, delivering a solid product. For distributors? Building a solid supply chain. For us shareholders? Yes, we will reap the benefits of their hard work. [We just had to write a check to buy in - they are living the day-to-day drama of building a business.]
I believe they are good, hard-working people. They are honest people. They have had some tough breaks in the past and are dealing with them as quickly as they can. They have a vision and belief, and they are going for it. They are trying to do the right things. I believe they are getting unfair criticism from this board of impatient, easy-to-judge people (who get to hide behind an alias) who for the most part have never pulled off what Dror and Yaniv are achieving right now. Personally, I am envious of them.....
Again, the product has only been on the market for 2+ months. In the grand scheme of the world, that is a mere tick-tock on a clock. Give them a chance to have a full quarter (or two) of sales. Give them a chance to take a breath to write your all-important Press Release. Be aware, they have start-up costs. They have tooling costs. They have all the other business expenses, and sales and marketing costs. The next Press Release probably won't be all that wonderful. But it's progress and growth!
Am I a shareholder? Yes. I have about 20M shares. Am I underwater right now? Yes, I bought at a slightly higher price. Am I worried? No - Based on the conversations I have had recently with that key individual, I am glad I'm here and looking forward to enjoying the benefits of having this relationship with VPOR.
Be real, people. Think about how long other companies have had a product out, and their success. Look at Apple, Tesla, Amazon, FB.... Patience.
Oh yeah, and can you also check your spelling before you push SUBMIT POST? There IS a Preview button.
Thank you.
Excellent points. Thank you for expanding.
An observation also: the price change comes on the heels of the Champs show. Maybe they heard repeated feedback from booth traffic that the price was too low. ...And perhaps in relation to the other 2 products SneakyPete reviewed.
No matter the reason, it is a significant increase. I trust it is justified.
I was waiting until the end of Q2 to join the EG owner's club.
Ordered mine directly from easygrinder.com late last night to get a good sense of order number. Mine is 5112x (not disclosing the last digit for personal reasons). Can hardly wait to get it!
The next one I buy will be through Prime baby! Congrats to Yaniv and team for going through the FBA process. This is a big achievement.
This is a great idea, for those who are making visits to dispensaries, etc. as a leave-behind, also known as an at-a-glance brochure. Surely anyone on this board that has done marketing in the past is familiar with making such a document. I have made several, and considered doing it after reading your post SP.
HOWEVER - Vapor Group has a relationship with an adept marketing company per a previous PR. The marketing company has designers on staff who have access to print quality photos, Adobe Illustrator (or other comparable layout software), the product color palette, and can execute on the branding and messaging Vapor Group wants and needs. Witness the professional videos on the website and which Yaniv has posted from time to time.
My point is, the marketing company should do the layout, get it approved by Yaniv or whomever, and post the printable PDF on the product web site, for those who want to download it and print it for guerilla marketing activities. It will look much better than if one of us hacked it together. It is not a lot of work for them to do this!
Dispensaries and MJ outlets are striving to look professional, clean and respectful. Their business owners will appreciate being told of EG with a likewise professional brochure. This product deserves it.
So consider this a plea - VPOR - if you are listening. Contact that marketing company you told us about and have them put a great single-page brochure together for us, your volunteer field sales team. Arm us and we will do you proud.
$0.01?
Ha, I'm putting only 10% of mine up for sale at $0.10 to cover my purchase expenses. I am shooting much higher for this venture. Much, much higher, and I believe VPOR can do it.
There is lots of positive possibility here. They are doing ALL the right things. There are pros behind the scenes on this one. Look at all the evidence AND the coming market acceptance of MJ and MMJ (not to mention having the Grinder Girls in our corner). Yes, this is a keeper. Sell if you want at $0.01 if you are short-sighted. (No pun intended)
Oh, and to the few individuals on here predicting mid-20s... I hope so, for tomorrow or Thursday... Because on one of those days I am going to pick up another 3M - 5M shares and I would love the cheaper price before it starts its eventual rise to silver land and beyond.
Sorry - I misunderstood your message. The inner workings of the MM are still a mystery to me. I just figured that if I bought a bunch of shares, they would show up as a BUY, somewhere, somehow.
Can't be. I have never shorted a single VPOR share ever. I only BUY to own.
I see NorfolkIP gave a plausible explanation in subsequent posting 98393 (THANK YOU) which makes total sense. Mystery solved.
And Pete - yes exactly, to your point "I wonder how many more Buys are showing up as Sells." I guess I can't look at that Trades report to judge exactly what is going on with our dear VPOR.
OK, savvy market people, I have a mystery I cannot figure out.
Probably like most of you, I look at the Tools / Data Tools / Trades chart daily to make sense out of the trading to track the PPS pricing and volume and deduce what's happening.
Well, I increased my position today by 1.9M and cannot figure out why when I look at "Trades" on IHub the transactions do not make sense in how they are recorded (BUY vs SELL). I have screen shots for you so you don't think I'm crazy. You can correlate the time stamps between my brokerage report and the IHub Trades report.
The first 2 screen shots are taken off my brokerage account.
Screen Shot 1 - the summary report of my 2 orders after execution (first one for 1M at one price, the second one for 900K at a better price).
Order Summary
Screen Shot 2 - the record of the actual execution of the orders. Note the 900K order was filled over several transactions (which is okay as far as I am concerned).
Actual Brokerage Trades Alerts
The second 2 screen shots are taken off the Trades chart on IHub. See how all but 1 of the transactions was recorded in the SELL column, with the last one (remaining 1418 shares) appearing in the BUY column.
Screen Shot 3 - the 1M order fill (note it is in the SELL column). BUT, not only is it in the SELL column, it is mixed with someone else's order (it is 168,452 shares larger than my order. It is the only 1M order at that time).
1M transaction
Screen Shot 4 - the 900K fills (note they are in the SELL column except last one is in the BUY column)
900K transaction
Why does the chart show my BUYs in the SELL column, except the last one? Shouldn't they all be in the BUY column? Does this mean I should really be realizing all the SELL trades on the iHub report are BUYS? This is not the first time I have found my BUYs recorded in the SELL column. I have made many other BUYs which showed up in the BUY column.
Signed,
Confused
PS - My apologies for not inserting the images in the message body, I was trying to keep the text succinct so you can easily read it.
Your photos are always the best! Thank you for your creativity.
Regarding the sound level, if it is too loud for you grinding while music is on, or watching a movie, of just being in a quiet room, why not be creative and just wrap a kitchen towel around it while you push the button? Or go get yourself a piece of foam rubber cut to height and wrap around... Or put it in your beer cozy while you grind. Or hold it against that sofa arm you're sitting on and put a pillow against and push the button. There are ways to deaden sound without needing to reinvent this wonderful device. Jeez, let's get a good production run out of this version.
P.S. Cash this not directed at 'you' because I replied to your post, it is directed at all the folks who are concerned about the sound level.
I just did. Trades 55 and 62 on the Trades screen are mine... Adding another half million shares from a limit set at 31. I have serious interest AND faith in this business. AND I'm not in it for a quick flip. I'm here to support the VPOR team. Go Yaniv. Go VPOR. Go EZG.
I received an email at 6:35am CT this morning from EG in response to my Customer Service submittal last night. ("Thank you we appreciate your feedback and assure you this issue will be resolved and nonrecurring.")
Somebody was at work very early and on the ball. Very indicative of a company striving for success.
NHborn: That was exactly my idea also. Either mount one (or all 4) on a nice stand with a glass enclosure over it, or make a wall hanging with them in it. Heck, they are small enough to fit in a deep frame with glass over them. I can put a backdrop behind them of a statement of my share count too. I can picture it now in my mind. Brings smiles.
Great Idea. I just did.
Dear Yaniv at Vapor Group:
Please fix typos in Amazon description paragraph. The product or company can't look professional with these kind of amateurish errors. (I didn't change the message, just fixed the errors.)

VPOR
VPOR has successfully taken my breath away. I couldn't believe it when I just saw the chart. The dream is becoming real.
OMG the new video on the website is freakin' awesome. If only I had this functional device back in the day... This video says it all. Everyone will want this. There *is no* competition.
