1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

When advertising goes too far..

    Here is an image on FB to advertise the Evic VT Mini. Of course it has nothing to do with Evic company, it's only from the local seller.

    That's the wrong way to go if you want the authorities to leave us alone, IMO. In France at least, the anti-vaping used the "attractive factors to teenagers" to put us down. I believe in the US as well with the packaging, names and flavors.

    Seems like it hasn't reach LoS ears just yet..

    I saw that post too and cringed. I very nearly replied to it recommending it be removed but because I am not Thai feared it would be misinterpreted in some way. I really wish some Thai national in the community would send a private message or something about it.

    She's a very lovely young girl but one of the main arguments and concerns the anti-vaping people have is the influence it has with and harm to children. If they see that photo they would be pretty upset I think.

    Oh and I didnt see it as advertising but rather a very enthusiastic vapor maybe not being aware that this picture is potentially harmful to the vaping community.

    ^^^ Just trying to bring a little levity to the proceedings. :D

    But seriously, if she's under the legal smoking age, she shouldn't be used in any advertising for vape products.

    Man.....you guys crack me up..... IF she's under the legal smoking age??

    I had to scroll back up to look at this young lady's picture again to make sure.

    Sometimes I really don't understand these vendors..they are really shooting themselves in thge foot and veryy much potentially breaking their own rice bowl...... really dumb.

    Hey finger is not on the fire button. The drip tip is not in her mouth. And that bag is totally wrong for that dress. The hair bow needs to go. And the mod should have either a pink cover to accent her attire (although the blue does kind of work).
