Vaporization - An Alternative Approach to Quitting Cigarettes

It seems that fresh methods to stopping cigarettes surface each day. From hypnosis to acupuncture, individuals are willing to attempt whatever will help rid them of the health issues related to smoking. Many reports demonstrate that quitting cold chicken is the most effective strategy, it's likewise one of the most complicated. Many potential quitters only require a small outside help.

The two smoking cessation products which have gotten the most click and also have reputations if you are successful are smoking patches and nicotine gum. At the heart of both these processes will be the notion of transforming the way the nicotine is provided. By not having to smoke a cigarette to receive its compound (nicotine), the bad health ramifications of smoking are averted. Although both of these ways have worked for many quitters, for many there's a propensity to slide up and smoking together with using the area or gum. One of the motives most commonly mentioned for this propensity is that whilst the person is receiving the nicotine they desire, they miss out the process and interpersonal areas of smoking.

For some smokers, taking a split to go have a cigarette is what gets them through the workday and popping a bit of gum is just not the identical. Similarly, some failed quitters have noted which they miss the interpersonal element of smoking while out with pals, particularly if they are around smokers. For these individuals, a relatively fresh tactic - tobacco vaporization - may be the ticket to finally stopping cigarettes.
vaporizers e cigarette

Cigarette vaporizers can be a new smoking substitute that's easily gaining recognition. Vaporizing or vaporizers for sale could be the process of passing heat (developed with vaporizers) through a vegetable material and breathing the result. By correctly controlling the atmosphere heat, these are able to generate steam containing nicotine. However, this vapor does not support the dangerous toxins and tars which are present in smoking. This is as a result of proven fact that this produces the substances at a reduced heat than the point of combustion so no carbon is burned.

To vaporizers for sale you simply require cigarette plus vaporizers e cigarette. There's a wide array of them accessible today, but they all possess some type of filling chamber or drive where the cigarette is put. People may either load this chamber using their favored natural cigarette or purchase pre-stuffed drives in the manufacturer of the vaporizers shop. If the hot-air created from it moves through the step or drive full of the cigarette the nicotine is produced for usage.

You can find about 25 vaporizers for sale on the market today including 50 bucks to almost $700. Several models function electronic temperature control and rechargeable batteries, offering users total control over when wherever and just how their vaporizers e liquid. Some devices have mechanism techniques where bags may be discussed between buddies, while additional items are "direct inhale" and more fitted to personal use. The very best component for all quitters is that the method is more satisfying subsequently utilizing a spot or gum; there's equally a ritualistic and interpersonal portion that is plainly lacking in different smoking cessation products.

Vaporizers e liquid resembles additional non-carcinogenic cigarette shipping devices because the user gets the specified components of the vegetable with no damaging byproducts of inhaling smoke. What may eventually produce vaporizers far better is its capability to fill the non-substance voids that stopping could keep as well.

SUNJACK 14W PORTABLE SOLAR CHARGER



Let’s face it, unless you are Amish, you rely on battery-powered devices every day. From cell phones, to flashlights, to media players, most of us use cordless devices of one sort or another. When the batteries run low, we simply put a new battery in or plug the device into a wall outlet. But what happens if the power goes out for an extended period of time? Read on to see my review of the SUNJACK 14W PORTABLE SOLAR CHARGER.

The solution is to have a power source you can plug into when needed. A couple of years ago, I was looking for a solution to this problem since power outages happen from time to time. What I found was a very handy set of devices that met my needs and improved my power preparations.

I came across the Sunjack products at a local prepper show in the fall of 2014. At the time, I was looking at various portable solar chargers that I could use for camping and emergency use. There are a bunch of solar chargers out there from various manufacturers, but nothing stood out to me and I wasn’t feeling compelled to buy anything.

Portable Solar Charger


When I saw the Sunjack 14W Portable Solar Charger though, I took a second look. What struck me initially was how well-thought out the product was. The (four) solar panels fold up neatly into a package the size of a small tablet computer. It has hooks for carabiners so it can be attached to a tent or backpack if necessary. The materials were good too, they used rugged nylon fabric combined with solid stitching for the exterior cover. Even the zippers were stouter than I expected. GigaWatt didn’t go cheap on this item.

As the name states, the panels can generate up to 14 watts in direct sunlight. It can still generate electricity when it isn’t a clear, sunny day but be aware that it’s performance will be lower. You can directly charge a device by plugging it into one of the two USB ports (5V, 1.5A DC), but only when the sun is out. One great feature of this solar charger is it can also charge batteries through the same USB ports. Once the battery is charged, it can be used to charge other devices even when it is dark outside. This gives users greater flexibility along with shorter charging times.
Quick Charge Battery

Speaking of the battery, it is impressive in its own right. It’s nominal capacity is 8000 mAh and has two USB outputs. Both can charge at 5V 2.4 A, but one of the ports (the red one) can charge at 9V 1.67 A. It also has a button that will display the level of charge on a series of blue lights. That’s a quick way to see approximately how much energy is left in the battery, which is a helpful feature. According to Sunjack, it takes about five hours to fully charge the battery. One nice thing though, the battery comes fully charged from the factory and can hold it’s charge for a long time. I decided to purchase a second one to have as a spare.

SB AA/AAA Battery Charger


Since I have several NiMH rechargeable batteries in my inventory, I decided to purchase a charger for these. It has a USB connection that plugs into the Quick Charge Battery, which makes it helpful during an extended power outage. The charger can handle both AA and AAA cells at the same time, meaning you can mix and match sizes if necessary. It’s a perfect companion to the other two components and allows me to charge most of the portable items I will need during an emergency.
Numbers

So what do all the numbers and capacities mean? Let’s first take a look at some popular items that could be recharged by the Sunjack. These are for illustrative purposes only since actual battery capacity can vary due to age and usage.
Observations

The designers put a lot of thought into the Sunjack, which is evident when you use it. The thing I like is that there is a pouch where the battery can be attached along with a strap to keep it secure. This is great for trips since it keeps everything together and minimizes cable spaghetti. A lot of little things are done right, from labeling the USB ports to the branding of the item. When a company gets the small details right, chances are they also got the big ones right too. Sunjack certainly did with this unit!

Pros


Fast charging speeds and high-capacity batteries. Well-constructed of quality materials. Thoughtful design yet durable.
Cons

None, this is a great product.

Bottom Line


The Sunjack 14W Portable Solar Charger is a high-quality, high-performance unit that offers a great combination of features at a reasonable price. I highly recommend you get one and add it to your equipment inventory.

Overall Rating 9/10

3 Ways to Grow Your Business With Free Social Media Analytics


You know your business needs to be on social media, but are your efforts contributing to sales?


Eighty-six percent of marketers believe that social media is important for their business, and U.S. spending on social media marketing is expected to top $17 billion per year by 2019. Yet only 3.4 percent of business leaders report that social media contributes very highly to their organization’s performance.

Social media’s impact on a business needs to be measured in order to prove -- and improve upon -- its ROI. But though delving into social analytics can be exciting, it also can be overwhelming. Marketing teams at startups or small businesses, if unable to invest in expensive analytics platforms, can quickly burn out trying to keep up with the endless data, and therefore will have no time left to apply their findings. In the end, if the analytics aren’t being supported by real-time social campaign improvements, the investment is worthless.

Though specialized social listening and analytics platforms can offer a wealth of information and support long-term strategy, businesses with tight budgets don’t necessarily need to invest in pricey tools right away. If your business has a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, you can access a plethora of data from their built-in analytics platforms at no cost. Focusing on three key insights can take you far.

1. Engagement: The yardstick for social media advertising



Over the last year, more marketers and businesses have finally realized that while having a million followers looks cool, it doesn’t always equal more sales. Grow your audience and broaden your reach, but don’t forget that your engagement rate is the magic number. Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest all provide information on engagement with your followers. This includes the data on the different ways they’re interacting with your content -- liking, sharing, commenting, retweeting and repinning. If followers like your content enough to react to it publicly, they are more likely to return, continue growing their relationship with you and (hopefully) open their wallets.

When you review your most engaging posts, look for similarities to identify what’s engaging your followers. Replicate this type of content and let it serve as a guideline for designing your social media ads. Most social media users hate advertising and are unforgiving of brands that inundate their feeds with ads. But social media ads still have their place, and you can make the most of yours by utilizing your best content. “Boost” your most engaging posts on Facebook and push them to a broader audience. You can also design the content and visuals in your ads based on your most popular posts to keep them in line with what your audience is already drawn to.

2. Audience demographics: Fine-tuning your customer profile



The free social analytics offered on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest provide you with a detailed look at the demographics of your audience. You’ll see the basics like gender, location and age, but some platforms (like Twitter’s) provide details about their likes and hobbies as well. If your audience likes food, travel, dining out and cooking, does that fit your business’s customer profile? If the answer is yes, then your social channels are probably attracting the people you’re hoping will purchase from you, and you can focus your content on what will drive them to buy (just keep it within the 80/20 rule).

If you discover that your social media audience doesn’t align with the customers you’ve set out to target, it’s time for some adjustments. Go back to your customer profiles and think about what their social media use looks like. What content do they want to see? Don’t be afraid to get creative: The best content might not specifically be about your product. For example, the audience for a pasta sauce company’s social media might also like content about traveling to Italy, cooking tips and videos about making Parmesan cheese. Your social media channels should add value that goes beyond providing another touchpoint for a potential sale. You also might consider that the “different audience” you’ve attracted to your social media could still be interested in your products. It may be time to revisit your marketing plans and draft entirely new customer profiles.

3. Monitoring competitors: Compare and contrast



Facebook lets you keep track of your competitors’ pages. You can see their engagement rate for the week, how quickly their likes are growing and how many posts they’ve published during the current week. See how their stats compare to yours: Are they getting higher engagement? Are their likes increasing at a higher rate?

Compare your most successful competitor’s content against your own. If theirs has a higher engagement rate, how often are posts going up? Consider scaling back or adding more content based on how their posts are doing. You also can browse through their old posts to get a feel for what their audience is responding to, and how you can apply those tactics to your own strategy.

Social media is about the long game and does require thoughtful planning, but there’s no need to break the bank for in-depth analysis and strategy-building. You can access the data you need to grow your business and boost sales with the free insights built into your social platforms. Use what you find to adjust your content and posting tactics, and you’ll see better ROI in the long run.

5 Content Marketing Lessons From SNL in the Age of Trump



Whatever you think of his politics, President Donald Trump has been great for comedy. Saturday Night Live is having a revival of popularity as its hard-hitting satire and perfectly casted actors -- like Melissa McCarthy’s hilarious portrayal of White House spokesman Sean Spicer and Alec Baldwin as Trump -- speaks to the country’s latest concerns about the various chaos and insanity emerging from Trump’s administration.

What can other content creators and marketers learn from SNL’s recent resurgence of Trump-related success?


Seize upon key issues and crucial conversations.


Trump's presidency is the biggest story in recent political history, so this is an easy one for SNL. Everyone in the national media is talking about Trump all the time. But what about your business or your industry? What are the key issues that your customers are worried about and focusing on? Don’t assume that you know the answer. Use Twitter as a listening tool to see which keywords and topics are trending for your industry and your key audiences. Then you can create content that speaks directly to those areas of concern.

Slay sacred cows.


SNL is not afraid to be irreverent, even offensive, toward the most powerful people in Washington. What is the biggest controversial topic/issue in your industry? What are the things that people in your industry should be saying? What stands should they be taking that they are not? What is the elephant in the room or the emperor with no clothes? Find these opportunities and create content that speaks to those issues. Build a reputation as a truth teller.

Rally your base.


SNL is probably not going to win many fans among Trump’s supporters, but they’re focusing instead on getting a bigger share of fans from the large percentage of Americans who are opposed to Trump. Don't be afraid to be controversial or even polarizing. Sometimes it's better to speak passionately to the people who are most enamored with your brand, even at the risk of not appealing to lots of other people. SNL is rallying a big audience of people who are not Trump supporters -- and SNL’s ratings are up! In content marketing on TV, it's often better to have a passionate and lucrative niche following than to fail to appeal to a mainstream mass audience that no longer really exists.

Make unconventional choices.


McCarthy was cast as White House spokesman Sean Spicer -- and her performance was brilliant -- but the choice of a woman to play Spicer was also oddly inspired and unexpected. Don't be afraid to be unconventional. Keep trying new things and elevating new voices within your company. Your content strategy doesn't have to look like the usual suspects.

But stay focused on quality.


SNL is having a resurgence of popularity as people tune in to try to get some laughs out of our latest national political news, but even Trump's biggest opponents won't want to watch if the show's not funny. SNL can't become just a strident platform for anti-Trump statements; it still needs to be a comedy show first and foremost that makes people laugh. In the same way, content marketing can't be just a stunt or a gimmick or push an agenda. You need to have a foundation of insight and quality that keeps people coming back.

Who knows what will happen during Trump’s presidency, but SNL is leading the way for a vibrant, engaging, no-holds-barred national conversation about politics. This fearless spirit is something that all content creators and content marketers can try to emulate in our own work.

6 Tips to Using Emojis in Your Marketing Campaigns



Grab your phone and look at the last few text messages you sent and received. I’m willing to bet there were some emojis used.

They are quickly entering the world of marketing -- email subject lines are now full of emojis, and you can even order from Domino’s by simply texting them the pizza emoji.

Soon, it won’t just be trendy to use emojis in your marketing -- it will be essential. While I’ve used them with some success in email marketing campaigns, I wanted to see what tips other business owners had regarding how to effectively use emojis.


I sent out a request via Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and connected with six other business owners to discuss this new marketing tool. Below are six tips to help you use emojis effectively in your marketing campaigns. (Side note: If you aren’t using HARO, you are missing out -- as I’ve mentioned in the past, it’s a great free tool to use to help your business score media coverage.)

1. Know which emojis connect with your target audience.


With so many different emojis available, it makes it important that you understand the meaning behind any you plan to use. You don’t want to start randomly throwing out emojis without a strategy -- you need to make sure they are aligned with your audience.

“The approach we use is going to be much different than a company targeting millennials in terms of what emojis we use. While we might use a simple smiley face in an email subject line, a business looking to really grab the attention of a younger target market might use more edgy emojis,” explains Buzz Burgett of Northwest Mechanical.

2. Use emojis to encourage real-time engagement.


Peter Gregory, owner of Sound Tattoo Removal, uses emojis to trigger real-time engagement. “When we are marketing to those looking into the options available for removing a tattoo, we want to encourage an immediate engagement. Using emojis in a clever way helps to quickly draw attention to a call-to-action, amplify that emotional trigger and begin a conversation.”

I have found that using emojis in email subject lines drastically increases open rates. More people opening your emails means more people coming into contact with your call-to-action. If they don’t open it and click-through right away, the chances of them coming back to it at a later time is slim to none.

3. Avoid creating confusing messages.


“Because emojis are a somewhat new marketing tool, some brands go overboard and flood social media posts and email copy with them. Too many emojis, or the wrong type, can create a confusing message and push back prospective customers rather than pull them in. It’s important to use emojis that align with your message,” advises Rob Richardson, CEO of Newcastle Training.

This is something I see firsthand almost daily. I subscribe to a large number of email newsletters in multiple industries, and using a couple emojis that make sense within the email copy is fine, but going overboard can really be awkward. I cringe when I see emails with an obnoxious number of winky-face emojis.

4. Use emojis to add a personal element to your marketing.


Emojis can help a brand add a personal element to its marketing, but remember that every situation is different. What works for one brand isn’t going to necessarily work for another, even within the same industry. The emojis you use must match your brand -- a natural extension of your voice.

John Morgan, Co-CEO of Stillwater Dwellings, has some advice for those wanting to add a little personalization “Before you start to use emojis in an effort to be more personal, you need the answer to these five questions:

"What emojis are relevant to our brand?
"Do we fully understand the meaning of the emojis we plan on using?
"How often should we use emojis?
"How does our target audience interact online?
"Will using emojis improve the message we are attempting to convey?”

5. Encourage two-way communication.


Social media is the first stop when a consumer has a customer service need. Using emojis can help communication -- something as simple as a smiley-face emoji can help to break the ice and encourage conversation.

“Whether they have a simple pre-sale question or want to talk about a previous purchase, social media is where consumers turn. Why? Because it’s convenient. Social media is easy to access using a mobile phone, without having to make a phone call. Incorporating emojis in your social media communication can help cold prospects warm up faster. Emojis are a new universal language that you need to learn how to use, as they can really help communication,” explains Melissa Blake of Les Saisons.


6. Understand the correct time and place to use emojis.


Sean Flynn of Flynn & Associates stresses that it’s important to understand there is a time and place to use emojis. “A business, such as a restaurant, can freely use emojis to market, because the experience they are promoting is fun and carefree. A business such as ours is dealing with a more serious service, and emojis aren’t going to be appropriate in some situations. Use them correctly, and know when to leave them out of your marketing.”

I’d also add that it’s important to pay attention to your split-test data. Compare email open rates with emoji-filled subject lines and emoji-free versions. Look at your social media engagement on posts using emojis and those that don’t have them. Every audience is different, so dive into all available data to see how your audience responds to their use.
