No flame or fire

The first step is to open up the box. Inside your E Mist kit, you will find:
  • 2x batteries
  • 1x atomizer
  • 1x wall charger
  • 1x USB charger and
  • 5x cartridges in Menthol or regular tobacco flavor (your choice)
Initial Use
  • When taking a puff on the E Mist device, please make sure you are talking LONG SLOW puffs. Do not puff on the E Mist device like a traditional cigarette
  • For optimal performance, it is recommended that you fully charge the batteries before using E Mist
  • You will notice that one of the batteries and the atomizer are pre-assembled along with an empty cartridge to protect the atomizer in shipping. Simply replace the empty cartridge with a full one by placing it firmly onto the atomizer. To make sure the cartridge is secure, twist it slightly.
  • There is no on or off switch. When using E Mist, the red LED light at the tip glows like a real cigarette to let you know its working.
Charging
  • The batteries can be charged using a standard wall outlet, or computer with USB port.
  • To charge using a wall outlet, simply plug the wall charger into the outlet and connect the opposite end to the bottom of the charger. When the LED light on the charger is green, the battery is fully charged. The LED light will remain red while the battery is charging
  • To charge using the enclosed USB charger, unplug the USB cord from the wall plug and connect one end of the cable to the charger and the other to the USB port. When the LED light on the charger is green, the battery is fully charged. The LED light will remain red while the battery is charging
Replacing Batteries 
Each battery should provide approximately 1 day worth of full-flavored enjoyment
  • When the battery is depleted, the red LED at the end of the battery will blink 30 times intermittently.
  • To replace the empty battery, secure the cartridge in one hand and unscrew the battery from the atomizer.
  • Grab the fresh battery and reattach it to the atomizer. When you're finished, recharge the empty battery by screwing it back into the receptor.
  • Remember to unscrew a newly charged battery from the receptor when the light goes out.
Note: During use, the red LED light will flash 10 times to warn you that you are overusing your E Mist and you should take a break. This does not affect performance and does not mean you should recharge.

Replacing Cartridge
How it WorksOn average, each individual cartridge supplies enough nicotine and premium flavoring to accommodate approximately 80 - 100 puffs. When the cartridge no longer produces vapor, you'll know it's time for a replacement.
  • To replace the cartridge, hold the battery with one hand and pull off the empty one.
  • Check the atomizer for any residue and gently brush it aside using your fingers.
  • Firmly apply a full cartridge to the atomizer, twist it slightly to make sure it is secure.

Australian Websites Directory

Let me introduce you to my new Australian websites directory, no matter what you are looking for you will find! Whether it be video games or pets. We host a comprehensive listing to all local products and services. First off however, I would like to tell you a little more about why a website directory makes finding these products and services more convenient for you the user and you the advertiser.

The best Australian Web Sites

Unlike search engine such as Google and Yahoo, website directories are human edited. In other words they are not edited and categorize based on a system of complex electronic algorithms. They are edited by human hand and this makes them more human friendly. 
 Australian Sites Top List
A site for products and services which come into a search listing with Google, has been searched electronically, but the products and services we list have been collated according to the experience, other people have had with them, and they are more localized.

Submit your url - Free Australian Directory

For example, you may be living in Western Australia and be searching for green friendly building supplies. Your Google search will bring up millions of entries. No user wants to read the listing past the first few pages, because it is time consuming. Whereas if you make use of a more specific search. The information you are searching for is more accessible.

It is also very important for advertisers to make use of website directories which are specifically designed for a certain target market. A company for Australia launching a website into the internet is essentially launching it into cyberspace and hoping for the best. But their site may float around in cyber space for ages before it is picked up by a major search engine, and even then the chance that it will be ranked highly are slim.

High ranking is essential to get the site onto those all important first few listing pages which many potential customers never look further than. To get the very best response for your website, you need it to be put into direct contact with the target audience. Currently the internet has more than 80 million registered sites and domain names.

It is vital for any business to have a web presence, but it is also, very easy to get lost in the melee. Listing on a website directory with more specific search parameters is therefore very important.

By the same token, more localized consumers who are searching for services and products will be able to find these in my Australian website directory. While it can be considered to be somewhat like a telephone book or yellow pages service, it is so much more. Theses directories are updated once a year, ours is updated on an ongoing basis.

Products and services are categorized, then sub-categorized, making it simple to find much more specific information for the user. The fact that we operated the site with a human hand, makes it simple for advertisers to use it as a forum to offer special promotions and discounts an also simpler for consumers to make use of theses, during the period they are valid. It is all about convenience really, and we live in a convenience driven world.

WSOP Circuit Tournaments

Event #1 -- No Limit Hold'Em

A total of 303 players helped kick off the first event held at the Council Bluffs casino, helping to create a pool of $88,173.

IrinaMitrovici-Viral Marketing Campaigns Drive Targeted Traffic

Viral marketing is a great way to use the power and nature of the Internet to reach a large number of people quickly and drive a continually growing flood of targeted web traffic to your website. With a successful viral marketing campaign, your website traffic could go from almost nothing to thousands of hits or even hundreds of thousands of hits per day almost overnight.

Viral marketing is a term used for marketing campaigns that grow and spread like a human or computer virus. In a successful viral campaign, people pass the marketing material on socially so that the marketing campaign grows like a snowball rolling down hill.

The basic idea of viral marketing is that you can increase your sales by increasing your targeted website traffic and you can increase your targeted web traffic by giving away or spreading something for free that people will pass on to their friends, family, or business associates like a virus.

Viral campaigns may spread through emails or eBooks that people pass on or through articles or viral videos that people pass on.

Microsoft's Hotmail service was probably one of the biggest early successes of viral marketing. Free web-based email is common today, but it was a new concept in 1996 when Microsoft first promoted Hotmail by adding a short advertising teaser at the end of its users' email messages. Who would have ever expected how big the results of this marketing campaign could be?

But as huge as the success of Microsoft's viral marketing campaign was for Hotmail, it only set the stage for what was to come during the 2004 American presidential campaign. Who can forget JibJab's flash animation political parody of George Bush and John Kerry singing, "This Land Is Your Land?"

By marrying the concept of flash video on the Web to viral marketing, JibJab took the Internet by storm. According to Internet statistician ComScore Media Metrix, the viral video received over 10.4 million unique hits in July 2004 - more than three times as many visitors as the official campaign websites of the two presidential candidates!

Now you may never experience the phenomenal success that JibJab did with one of your viral marketing campaigns, but the concept is simple and easily implemented. It works on the idea that if people like something or can profit from something, they will pass it on to their friends, family, and associates.

Viral marketing can be as simple as writing an article and having it published in article directories where newsletter publishers and webmasters may pick it up and republish it. Be sure to include an author bio or resource box at the bottom of every article that includes your name, your website link, and a call to action that entices people to click on your link. Webmasters and publishers are always looking for great content, so be sure to provide value.

Alternatively, you could send a funny, informative, or controversial newsletter to your subscriber list. Be sure to encourage people to pass your newsletter on with a short note at the bottom of your newsletter.

When people click through to your website, you would like to capture their email address and get their permission to contact them. Otherwise, they will often surf away, never to be seen again on your website.

Squeeze pages (pages primarily designed to get subscribers) are one proven way to do this, and offering people a free eBook or free report is a great way to get people to subscribe to your newsletter.

Want to kick your viral marketing campaign into even higher gear? Grant people the rights to give away the free eBook or report to their own customers or contacts. Be sure to brand the eBook or report with links to your website, so that anyone who receives it from others will find their way back to your website. Also, if you let your customers rebrand some of the links with their affiliate links or other links, they will really be motivated to pass the eBook or report on!

The Internet is perfect for viral marketing. This is one of the most powerful marketing techniques you can use on the Internet. Because many distribution channels are free (e.g., email and article directories) or relatively low cost (web hosting), viral marketing can be an incredibly cost-effective marketing technique. Once you have launched your marketing campaign, it can potentially grow and spread for years all by itself, making viral marketing possibly the most effective Internet marketing technique of all.

A Motorcyclist's Mid-Winter Frustration

One Christmas in the early 70's, I received a dazzling Huffy bicycle that continues to rank as one of my favorite presents of all time. This speed demon had a purple metallic-flake frame with shiny chrome fenders, ape hanger handle bars, and a special edition banana seat.  I couldn't wait to get outside to ride that beast!

Only one problem; that Christmas day there was so much snow and ice covering the landscape that it was impossible to ride.  For seven straight days I woke up, looked out the window and wondered if this would be the day, and for seven straight days the answer was NO!  I was so freakin' frustrated!

Fast forward some 30 years…

Today I find myself dealing with that same frustration all over again.
I have been unable to use any of my nifty stuff.  For seven days I have awakened, looked out the window and wondered if today would be the day, and for seven straight days the answer has been NO!  My frustration is accumulating like the 3 foot snow drift outside my window.

So what's a guy to do?  How should I deal with all of this pent up frustration?

Perhaps I should…

  • double up my meds.
  • lay in the snow while wearing my gear and make a snow angel.
  • sing happy songs.
  • ride the motorcycle carousel at Chuck E. Cheese

My wife suggested I gear up, go to the garage and close all the doors, then start my bike and pretend I am riding for a half hour or how ever long it takes! :)  Any other ideas?

Most Popular Toys For Boys Ever

G.I. Joe

G.I. Joe, the popular action figures are unarguably one of the bestselling toys for boys. They had a good start as they took the toys market by storm on their arrival. They are basically simple action figures with heads, legs and hands designed for movement. They can be set up to take different action poses complete with different weapons. The G.I. Joe action figures include a lot of options like cobra commander, the Baroness, Snake eyes and many more. The G.I. Joe proved to be revolutionary and paved the way for a number of other popular action figures like Spiderman, Batman and Indiana Jones.

Laser Tag Guns

The laser tag guns are the perfect big boys toys.  They are designed for fun filled shoot-outs and gun combats. The players have to strap on the chest plates that come with the guns and then try to hit the opponents' chest plates with the laser. When a player is hit he/she experiences a shock through the gun's handle.

Lego

Lego is certainly one of the toys that will always be popular. It is a simple combination of 'bricks' which are used to build things like planes, cars and buildings. Also available are little Lego men and women to live in the building, drive the cards and fly the planes.

Rubik's Cube

Rubik's Cube, launched in 1980s was a favorite with every kid and all the kids used to sit together trying to solve them. A lot of successors came in the market but none could repeat its success. It is still one of the bestselling items in the toy market. In fact, it is actually one of the only few educational toys that have achieved the dizzying heights of popularity.

Hot Wheels

One of the most popular toys from 'Mattel', the 'Hot Wheels' cars have a name which defines their popularity. These cars actually have been the hottest toys for a long time. Since 1968, when it was launched, Hot Wheels have been really up on the sales charts. The cars can be played with on the floor or can be driven on the various race tracks made by 'Mattel'.

All of these big boys toys are still very popular and are still among the bestselling toys for boys.
