A shill is someone working for the manufacturer or retailer/wholesaler and not disclosing that to the forum. This is usually done with the intent to sway or manipulate us innocent potheads into believing in a device or company that may not deserve it!

It didn't take long for our ever astute members to smell the rat here. We've been monitoring Allison Sullivan's posts behind the scenes since discovering that her posts originate from the same IP as Vaporfection. Since she's been so cooperative to give us all this rope, and now straight up lying when questioned, I think we have enough evidence to satisfy even the most skeptical.

Honesty, trust, and transparency are what this community was built on, and to see our members being taken advantage of so unscrupulously is truly sickening. Ask yourself if you want to support a company who would employ such dishonest practices. Can you trust a company with your health after they've shown such an utter lack of integrity?

In case it needs to be said, that company is no longer welcome here.

Wow, I was SO excited about the MiVape, now I say boycott Vaporfection. I guess with talk of the VB 2.0
scooping up their customers they got dirty. How dissapointing :\.

I was just having a conversation at my work about this topic with an old timer salesman who's been in the industry 30 years.

He was telling me how dishonest practices has become so common in the industry. By all the big names too.

Wow this is extraordinarily disappointing. I don't like when companies use tactics like this. It makes me sick. :disgust: It makes me question their motives. It weakens the validity of the "awards" they have won, and tarnishes the positive press they have gathered. It makes me question what lengths they would go to in order to get ahead. Companies don't need to throw mud like that in order to succeed. One of the things I have learned is that "vaporist" will buy allot of different products. There is a chance they will buy your product, even if it is not the first one they purchase. When companies use tactics like this it turns people off from ever buying their products. So very sad :(

It makes sense now. I remember now that one of the judges at the Kush Expo was named Allison Sullivan.

Truly disappointed although not surprised. I had originally bought a viVape (which I wasn't happy with), and when I talked to Vaporfection on the first day I received it, they were rude and outright criticized the competition I was considering saying that it was crap and there's was much better and I shouldn't be such an idiot not to think so as well. Needless to say I returned the viVape (which vaporizers.ca was kind enough to do a full refund/exchange at the time for).

I can't believe I just ordered both the viVape 2 and the miVape. Received the viVape already. Does anyone know if I can cancel the miVape order and get a full refund?

Edit: I'm kind of amazed at the lack of stealth by Vaporfection. Same IP address, same name as the Kush Expo judge.. Why?

The posts stank to high heavens too. Almost sounds like a setup. But I guess I'm giving Vaporfection too much credit.

If this is really the case, then there should be consequences. Someone should be all over their Facebook page with this. Their award at the Kush Expo was one of the reasons I bought the viVape -- and the miVape. I don't often get angry, but this pisses me off. I feel cheated.

They belong to an industry that is heavily relied upon good PR/word of mouth .
I definitely hope this serves notice to any other company wanting to join our
" Great Community " FC .

Wow. Just woke up to this.

Most here know I defended Vaporfection numerous times based on my experiences with them. But I can no longer support them. Their actions are just too much. What a shame. They didn't need to employ such tactics (or maybe they did for some reason).

What a damn shame. Thanks, mods.

Oh man... I can't believe this! Or i just don't want to believe it...

I don't know what to think about this right now. I do know that i highly enjoy my vV2. That Vaporfection's CS is incredible. And that i just pre-ordered the mV and i'm excited about it.

Oh man... Why oh why!!!

Yeah, what a bummer. I still love my viVape, but what the company did was shady.

As someone who defended them a few times, I now have egg on my face. Thanks, Vaporfection, for duping me.
