If you would accept R400 I'll take it. Is the receipt still around? (Optimistic, I know.) I'm in Cape Town.

Due to repeated, disheartening gear failure (batteries and coils) over the past three months, I took up the vile stinkies again. Now I'm smoking more than before! I hate myself and this stupid habit, so want to start vaping again with immediate effect. I've been told I need to up my game (been...

Ha ha! My Afrikaans is taamlik vlot, maar ek praat so bietjie 'Kaaps'.

Kimbo, you know I want to interview you! I think someone like you, in a well-produced video, would be awesome. I look forward to meeting you some day soon.

Of course we must agree that vaping is replacing one addiction with another. Perhaps that is what bothers people. But what astounds me is the ignorance of the masses. Tonight, I checked a Facebook post to me that said, "I wouldn't touch that shit with a bargepole. At least I know I'm smoking a...

I hear your anger and I love your war-cry. (And you write very well, BTW!) Actually, I've had nothing but positive feedback here in the Cape from the many non-smokers in front of whom I vape and to whom I have introduced the notion - literally all over. They are far readier to embrace this than...

P.S. For those who missed it, here's a link to the Cape Times story I did. http://www.iol.co.za/news/clearing-the-air-on-e-cigarettes-1.1712673

I guess, based on research and general public feedback, what we should be getting out there is that vaping is NOT smoking, but a far safer, medically-researched alternative that is less harmful to both vapers themselves, and those exposed to the vapour - and furthermore that banning or harshly...

Hope I've answered your questions, and then some!

Heartfelt thanks. (xxx) It has been a super-kak few months... I trust you checked my post about the production breakdown and can extrapolate from there. I am a total perfectionist (not in my own life - clearly - but in terms of my work) and the only way to do a proper job is to do a proper...

This WAS awesome and hard-hitting, but exquisitely scripted, beautifully filmed and slickly edited: in short a high-end, costly production!

You are totally right. I have been desperately busy though. I'm a sole breadwinning, freelance single mom with three kids (two school-going): one in grade three and one in matric) and I'm busy separating from the father of my nine-year-old son, so I haven't had much time at my disposal, PLUS -...

I agree that my approach was a bit strong (and I humbly apologise). I am a hot-headed proactive creative, and it was just to counteract the surprisingly flaccid response. Yes, a GOOD YouTube video is vital; not some overly-art-studenty, amateur stuff! I'm not sure if you read my Cape Argus...

I absolutely agree that content is paramount, and that prime-time should not be the focus. However, the general public is extremely lazy and largely unlikely to bother to research issues. Kneejerk reactions rule. Look at all the (clearly incorrect) rubbish that gets shared on Facebook by those...

Absolutely fair enough! But there could never be a guarantee. No product or concept ever has a guarantee! What is needed is not a few YouTube videos, though, but one great one - and not produced by amateurs. I have been in diverse media for 30 years, as a copywriter, ad agency creative...

If every supplier and every vaper had a link to this, it would be huge. I know my stuff, believe me!

So, let us be taxed, not banned.

No, that is entirely the wrong approach! It lacks 'cred'. Too backyard. You have to put a slick little well-researched doccie together, with interviews and visits to at least three major centres!

What do you think such a production (maybe five - eight minutes) would cost? Twisp alone could raise the bucks in a month! Even if I couldn't get it on local TV, the YouTube impact alone would be massive. Just - for argument's sake - say that I could do it for R50 000, wouldn't everyone who...
