VETTA PERSONAL VAPORIZER - Veppo Vape Lounge blog / product description / ad campaign
"Oooh, what is that?"
I am asked this time and time again, whenever I bust out my Vetta personal vaporizer. To the questioner I might come off a bit bothered, but honestly I don't mind. The secret is, I like being approached so I can show it off.
"Have you ever seen an electronic cigarette?" I ask in return. The response is often the same-- yeah, but aren't they supposed to look like regular cigarettes?
Yes, exactly. They are nothing to 'wow' about, unlike my Vetta. This device does not imitate anything. It's in a league of its own. Classy like a vintage cigarette holder, sleek like a Learjet, cutting edge like nanotech.
I tell them about its powerful nicotine delivery, smooth draw, exquisite taste.
But I like to remain mysterious, so I don't get into the specifics. Like how the Vetta battery is 900 mAh, five times stronger than regular e-cigarette batteries and requires less frequent charging. Or like how the diamond, push button design ensures that no e-liquid can get into the battery and shorten its lifespan. I certainly don't disclose that I've just ordered the new Vetta ClearTank component, with its translucent colors that make refilling even easier and its cohesive design that eliminates leaking by combining the cartridge with the atomizer.
That's for me to know and them to notice, later. I've got to keep my admirers on their toes.
Do I tell them it is USB rechargeable? You bet. Do I describe to them, in slow detail, all the e-juice flavors Veppo makes available-- those I have savored, let linger in my mouth, inhaled deeply and blown into the breeze? Absolutely.
Maybe I let them try a puff. Maybe not. Depends on my mood, the mood of the night, the phase of the moon, the trustworthiness of their smile.
When the moment has passed, I tuck away my Vetta, check my phone and slip away. It's not that I wish to be alone, it's just that I like to keep it fresh. A half hour later I will reconvene with my enchanting personal vaporizer, indulging in some fine flavor with a warmth in my chest, a spark in my mind and a wide open night ahead...

7 THINGS YOUR VEPPO E-CIG WON'T SAY TO YOU, EVER!
You should avoid gluten.
Your e-cig doesn't give a scone about what you eat, drink, who you sleep with, how you style your hair, or any of that crap. It just encourages you to be yourself. To do what you feel when you feel like it. And Veppo e-cigs give you the freedom to do more of what you like, wherever you happen to be. For instance, to enjoy a puff in Jimbo's Pub n' Pizzeria.
You look tired.
Your e-cig doesn't judge you. It's cool with you, whatever you got going on and however you're feeling. Happy, it'll celebrate with you. Sad, it'll let you cry, and help lift your spirits. And if you are indeed tired, your Veppo e-cig will raise your energy. It'll give you that extra little zing to get you through the finish line.
Did you gain weight?
It won't ask you this for many reasons. One: it doesn't have eyes, or hands for that matter. Two: it would never be that rude! And most of all, three: because e-cigarettes can help curb your appetite by substituting for unhealthy snacks. Instead of eating a chocolate bar, just have a few puffs of Veppo's famous chocolate-flavored e-liquid. Instead of reaching for a pint of Haagen Das, grab instead your Vetta personal vaporizer filled with delicious hazelnut flavor. There you go, craving fulfilled-- guilt-free.
You're fired.
Actually there's no fire involved at all. Fire produces smoke. Smoke is what kills you. E-cigs create vapor, a much healthier nicotine source to breathe in. And because there's no live flame, e-cigarettes are cleaner and safer to use than regular cigarettes. No more dirty ash everywhere, cigarette burn holes, or burning down the house if you fall asleep in bed with one. And when you do switch and get a nice new e-cig or personal vaporizer, it results in less discrimination and gives you more opportunities for the future. In fact, it may lead to a 'You're hired!'
We have to talk.
Your e-cig doesn't need to 'process', evaluate where your relationship is headed, or set boundaries. And it certainly won't dump up you or break your heart at all. It won't ever let you down. Your e-cig really wants to keep your relationship going and going 4-eva. That's why Veppo's cartomizers last so long, and our batteries are practically unstoppable. However, you may have to tell your e-cig that you need some space sometimes. Like when you take a shower or go to sleep. But please, go easy on it, okay?
You should quit smoking cigarettes.
That's the one thing your e-cig would nag you about, if it had to. If it met you a while ago. But since it's your e-cig, it means you already been able to kick cigarettes to the curb. So it won't have to pester you about it now. Isn't that relieving?
I want you to meet my parents.
However, you might want to say this to your e-cig. You want to show it off to your family and best friends. You're proud to have quit cigarettes. And they will rejoice! No more stinky, coughing you. You'll also want it to meet your kids. They will be so happy too. Not only because your e-cig won't try to become their new parent, telling them what to do and stuff. But also because you've committed a long, healthy life with them. So please go ahead and flaunt your new e-cig around. And, best of all, your e-cig doesn't have parents, besties, or kids. So you are off the hook.
Veppo e-cigarettes, e-cigars, and personal vaporizers love you for who you are, just simply for being you. They will never say these nagging, annoying, or uncomfortable things that have you rolling your eyes, sighing with exasperation, or squirming around. And that might make your e-cig the best friend you've ever had.

The 5 Keys to Inner Healing
Are you struggling with a chronic health issue? Looking for a long-lasting resolution? You are not alone. Many people like you are experiencing the same challenges and are in need of solutions. If you are reading this, you are probably dissatisfied with what your doctors have told you. Perhaps you've experimented with alternative medicine techniques with mixed results. The truth is, instead of searching all around you, the real answers reside within. There are actually effective ways that you can help yourself.
As a young adult struggling with health problems, I found myself in a similar predicament: discouraged and frustrated. Years later, as a medically trained physician in Austria, I realized that what we learn in Western medicine is not the whole story. This realization lead to some deep introspection, exploration, trial and error and inner processing. Through some hard personal work, I was finally able to achieve a life of great health and vitality. I discovered a new approach to healing-- self-healing-- that everybody has the ability to adopt. It has now become my mission in life to share these insights with others who are struggling in the same way I was.
That's why I am offering this free teleclass. I believe that when we change our understanding of health-- shifting to an approach that acts on the root causes of illness and treats the person as a whole-- we can produce a healthier, balanced, thriving society. One person at a time, we grow together as a community. You can be part of this health revolution, starting within yourself.

THE MAZE CHANGES
Musical Band- Bio Teaser
You awaken peacefully into a mysterious fabric of sound. These sounds seem to trace the contours of your pillowcase as if it were the electro-magnetic circuitry of the body and mind. Your blood pushes through labyrinthine threads as you search for the space between dreams and reality. The harmonies alone almost send you back into a fantastical state, but the rhythms keep your body bouncing on the comfortable firmness of your bed. The atmosphere is fluid, the textures weave in and out, and your nerve endings seem respond to all the stimuli instinctually. But once you think you have the patterns figured out, the maze changes...

LUCIDIOUS HANDPLANES
Website content
What is YOUR handplane's story?
With roots in the volcanic soil of Indonesia, the teak tree owes its life to geothermal energy, as well as solar energy photosynthesized from the sun. Harvested and used as naturally water and decay-proof fishing vessels to sustain local communities for decades, the wood is now hand-crafted by skilled Balinese carvers into its new adventurous life... as your Lucidious handplane.
Lucidious teak handplanes are born and shaped from all forces of nature:
Geothermal-
Solar-
Hydro-
Human-
-ENERGY
And it's life continues to be fueled by the dynamic forces of tidal energy and human consciousness.
All nature's elements conspire:
Earth, water, fire... and air
blowing through your shaggy hair.
So basic, so simple, so perfect.
There is a perfection in simplicity.
What is YOUR handplane's story?
Each Lucidious handplane has its own unique journey. The solid wood, born and matured as old teak trees, dedicated to service as seabound fishing vessels and reclaimed and shaped by a distinctive master Balinese wood carver. Full of history, shaped by the forces of nature and tradition, Lucidious boards possess character. You might even have to give yours a name. Like Duke, or Jacaré, or Paoa.
Handboarding happens on the shoreline. As did one of the most critical steps of evolution. Where water and land meet, magic happens. Like water-sporting humans, your teak handboard has traced a similar evolutionary process. Raised on land, returning to the mother ocean. We are now undergoing a shift, of sport and of consciousness. Yet it's as natural and inevitable as continental drift. So grab your handboard and enjoy the ride.
Community Page:
You know it from a look in the eye. When conditions are ripe, a wink and a nod. Kindred spirits who love to be one with the forces of nature.

VEPPO E-CIGARETTES

9 WAYS VEPPO E-CIGARETTES ARE BETTER THAN SEX
How is vaping e-cigs better than having sex? Let us count the ways...
You can have it whenever you want.
Granted, some of you out there can pretty much have sex at any given time. But not all of us are that cavalier, lucky, or into being a playa. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, are easy to whip out and enjoy, whenever you feel like it. Also, e-cigs never have a headache, are easy to get in the mood, and always ready to go. You don't even need to ask someone for a light to get things rolling.
You can do it in public.
Yes, you can have sex in public. But it probably won't last long. With e-cigs, you can do it in public all day and all night. You won't attract a crowd (well, perhaps a small one checking out your cool new device). You won't get arrested. Nobody will post it on Youtube. You won't embarrass your family or get fired. So go on-- whip it out and get busy, in full view and unabashed glory.
You can safely do it while driving.
The operative word here is 'safely'. We'd like to think most of you out there have tried getting sassy while driving. But how often does it work out smoothly? Without veering into oncoming traffic, getting stabbed by the stick shifter, getting pulled over by the cops? Indulge in a Veppo e-cig or e-cigar instead, and save yourself the risk of frisk.
You can try many different flavors and no one would get jealous.
Feeling fickle? Finicky? Downright slutty? Go on and mix it up. Menthol won't envy clove. Chocolate will let you slip in a peach on the side. And why not go crazy and mix some pineapple with a little coconut? Veppo's legendary e-liquid nicotine flavors, all 30+ of them, just want to be enjoyed and shared. And trust us, things won't get weird.
You can do it with all your friends.
Enjoy the 'benefits' while avoiding those long talks, awkward moments, or future expectations. Share some intimate moments with your closest friends without any nudity. There's just some things you don't want to know about even your besties. With e-cigarettes, thank God, you don't have to.
You can do it with your family.
Do we really need to elaborate on this one?
You can finish whenever you want.
With e-cigarettes you'll never feel obligated to keep on going when you've already had your fill. An e-cig won't complain when you're satisfied and want to stop for a while. Even regular cigarettes are demanding in how long they need your focus. Stamping out a half-smoked cigarette is such a pity, for all involved. They are so needy! E-cigs, not needy at all.
You can do it at the same time as most other activities.
Sex while bowling? Sex while writing in your journal? Sex while having a pedicure? Sure, that would all be awesome. And kudos to you if you've done any of the above. But realistically, it is all way easier with Veppo e-cigarettes.
You can do it unprotected.
E-cigarettes even safer than safe sex. No risks of babies or STDs-- 100% effective. And it makes life easier: you don't have to ask your e-cigarette its dating history, get blood tests for it, or discuss personal and political opinions. Just go with the flow, in the heat of passion. No consequences, no regrets.

9 WAYS VEPPO E-CIGARETTES ARE BETTER THAN SEX
How is vaping e-cigs better than having sex? Let us count the ways...
You can have it whenever you want.
Granted, some of you out there can pretty much have sex at any given time. But not all of us are that cavalier, lucky, or into being a playa. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, are easy to whip out and enjoy, whenever you feel like it. Also, e-cigs never have a headache, are easy to get in the mood, and always ready to go. You don't even need to ask someone for a light to get things rolling.
You can do it in public.
Yes, you can have sex in public. But it probably won't last long. With e-cigs, you can do it in public all day and all night. You won't attract a crowd (well, perhaps a small one checking out your cool new device). You won't get arrested. Nobody will post it on Youtube. You won't embarrass your family or get fired. So go on-- whip it out and get busy, in full view and unabashed glory.
You can safely do it while driving.
The operative word here is 'safely'. We'd like to think most of you out there have tried getting sassy while driving. But how often does it work out smoothly? Without veering into oncoming traffic, getting stabbed by the stick shifter, getting pulled over by the cops? Indulge in a Veppo e-cig or e-cigar instead, and save yourself the risk of frisk.
You can try many different flavors and no one would get jealous.
Feeling fickle? Finicky? Downright slutty? Go on and mix it up. Menthol won't envy clove. Chocolate will let you slip in a peach on the side. And why not go crazy and mix some pineapple with a little coconut? Veppo's legendary e-liquid nicotine flavors, all 30+ of them, just want to be enjoyed and shared. And trust us, things won't get weird.
You can do it with all your friends.
Enjoy the 'benefits' while avoiding those long talks, awkward moments, or future expectations. Share some intimate moments with your closest friends without any nudity. There's just some things you don't want to know about even your besties. With e-cigarettes, thank God, you don't have to.
You can do it with your family.
Do we really need to elaborate on this one?
You can finish whenever you want.
With e-cigarettes you'll never feel obligated to keep on going when you've already had your fill. An e-cig won't complain when you're satisfied and want to stop for a while. Even regular cigarettes are demanding in how long they need your focus. Stamping out a half-smoked cigarette is such a pity, for all involved. They are so needy! E-cigs, not needy at all.
You can do it at the same time as most other activities.
Sex while bowling? Sex while writing in your journal? Sex while having a pedicure? Sure, that would all be awesome. And kudos to you if you've done any of the above. But realistically, it is all way easier with Veppo e-cigarettes.
You can do it unprotected.
E-cigarettes even safer than safe sex. No risks of babies or STDs-- 100% effective. And it makes life easier: you don't have to ask your e-cigarette its dating history, get blood tests for it, or discuss personal and political opinions. Just go with the flow, in the heat of passion. No consequences, no regrets.
If sex were like vaping Veppo e-cigarettes like this, life would be so much more fun. And we don't mean to stop you from having sex in these ways. After all, it's your life! We're just encouraging you to do it with your e-cigarettes instead. You will certainly avoid some horrendous situations.
So why just 9 ways listed here-- why not 10?
Because for number 10 we decided to go for the gold with this ultimate solution. Make whoopie first and then enjoy your e-cigarette as you bask in the afterglow. Really, why compare the two? You don't have to choose one over the other: sex and e-cigarettes. They go great together!

GLUTEN-FREE GUZZLING
So now that I can't have regular pizza or hamburgers anymore, can I at least still enjoy a Jack Daniels on the rocks?
According to consumer survey firm NPD Group, one-third of Americans say they are trying to reduce the amount of gluten in their diets. So chances are either you or someone you know is asking a question like this right now.
Although most of the focus has been placed on foods like bread and pasta, adherents to the GF trend are turning their attentions on sneakier sources of gluten. With closer inspection, gluten is found hiding out in soups, salad dressings and soy sauce. With discoveries like this, the next target for inspection is bound to be beverages.
It's a brave, valid and not-too-uncommon question: what alcoholic drinks fit into a gluten-free diet?
Good ol' boys drinking whiskey and rye...
Since certain alcohols are derived from grain, it would make sense that they would contain that pesky gluten. For example, whiskey and gin are usually produced from wheat, barley, rye, corn, or a combination thereof. Even vodka, commonly thought to be made from potatoes, is almost always produced from grain these days.
Thank you distillation!
The production of our beloved spirits involves the process of distillation, which purifies a liquid by successive procedures of evaporation and condensation. This process separates and isolates different constituents of grain, such as barley, including the gluten compounds. Only the liquid alcohol is collected, leaving the gluten-containing matter behind. In short, due to distillation, grain-based alcohols are virtually gluten-free!
That's great news for those wanting to cut out or at least cut back their gluten intake for dietary reasons. But people with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition in which gluten toxicity damages the small intestine, may still need to proceed with caution.
Celiacs beware?
Even though distilled spirits are technically gluten-free, those with serious cases of celiac disease should take extra precaution. While some organizations such as the National Institute of Health and Canadian Celiac Association confirm all distilled spirits are free from gluten proteins, there remain a few skeptics. The Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) advises people who have been recently diagnosed to avoid all comestibles that are not inherently gluten-free in origin.
To be extra safe, CSA says, celiacs should stick to liquors with no possibility of gluten proteins such as rum, brandy, tequila and wine. After forming a dependable foundation, one can then slowly branch out to distilled liquors to see if there are any negative effects. But in essence, distilled spirits are safe even to those with celiac disease.
Gluten-free beer? Really?!
Yes! As with gluten-free restaurants, breads and cupcakes, there is an increasing number of alternatives for beer aficionados who are trying to adhere to a GF diet. These new brews are made from corn, millet, sorghum and other such grains. And as the demand for GF beer rises, so does the quality. With dozens of companies providing, you should have no problem finding one worthy of a hearty cheers.
A note for those with severe gluten allergies- some brands actually use malted barley and remove the gluten later in production. You may opt to stick with alternative beers made from grain-free sources until further studies have been undertaken. Make an informed decision by first researching the derivation of each brand's particular potions.
Gluten-free craze or not, it is always smart to take a step back and question the products you ingest. Fortunately, when it comes to gluten, you may rest assured that practically all alcoholic drinks (except regular beer) are perfectly good to go.
Pass the pretzels but bring on the booze. Bottoms up!
