I greatly appreciate the original Cyrillic decipherment

After an update, it translated it for me, even though nobody asked for it, what’s more… but never mind 
Your Indian name: Absolute Zero Degree

It was already translated for me. Sometimes annoying.

Hi everyone 
Until now, the name input field was free-form, which in hindsight wasn’t a good decision, but one is always learning. This resulted in many people entering their full name reversed (first name + last name), so I couldn’t properly incorporate the abbreviation of the last name. This was necessary for data protection reasons and trust-building.
So I changed this too: I separated the Full Name field into Title, Last Name, and First Name fields. This modification was also made in the database.
Many people don’t sign petitions because they don’t know how their name will appear publicly. The preview function helps with this, which also handles Hungarian multi-character letters.
Yesterday, I spent over 6 hours reviewing and organizing all ~1350+ signatures individually, so that everyone’s data would be placed correctly.
On the signature editing page, it is now also visible with a preview how the name will appear in the PDF.

We transmit anonymous data to the public, but the official list going to decision-makers will contain the full, verified name, thus keeping our petition legally sound.

Hello everyone
In the signature list, you can now filter by county, city, or separately by signatories who have also added a comment. Additionally, the sorting order can also be modified.

All-in! 
The time has come for the entire Hungarian vape community to go all in.
If we don’t mobilize ourselves to the maximum now, it’s not certain we’ll have a second chance later. This isn’t just a petition - this is our future.
In the Hungarian vape world, this must be our number one priority now!

Of course, I filled it out, I confirmed it.

Calumette is with us! 
One of the biggest French vape webshops, Calumette – whom many of you know and love – has officially joined our common cause! The banner will only appear on their site for Hungarian visitors.
This is a huge deal because it shows that the reform of Hungarian e-cigarette regulation is important on an international level. With their support, the petition can reach even more people.
Thank you! 
Now is the chance for change!
If you haven’t signed it yet, or if you have an acquaintance it hasn’t reached yet, let’s go for it:

First Meta Ad 
I struggled with the Meta system for days, but I managed to create a (vape) ad.
It’s running on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger platforms (although it’s still in the learning phase) and hopefully it will bring people to the petition.
If you’d like to contribute to the advertising costs and help the message reach even more vapers, you can do it here: I’ll be a Supporter! 
We plan to create more ads later…

Hi everyone
I would like to share with you, in the spirit of transparency, the ordeal of the past few days. 
A Promising Start
I also reached out to Sourcemore, as many Hungarian vapers buy from them / browse their site. Initially, they were surprisingly open: they asked me to send mockups and design elements for a potential banner. I did the work, the designs were ready, and it seemed like something was starting… they liked it, they were enthusiastic about it.
The Technical Retreat
Then came the twist. After we presented the finished concept, their technical team feedback indicated that they couldn’t implement geo-location filtering on the main page banner (meaning, it only appears for Hungarian visitors). They stated that placing the banner wouldn’t be possible. I didn’t let it go, and suggested further alternatives to save what could be saved:
- Targeted newsletter only for Hungarian customers.
- Notification on the “My Account” (Dashboard) interface, visible only to those registered with a Hungarian address.
- Message on the order confirmation page for Hungarian shipping addresses.
- Anywhere else where they can display it in a way that it actually appears to Hungarians.
The Final Answer
Today, the final ‘no’ arrived. Although they understand the situation, they completely backed out, citing technical difficulties and “regulatory risks.”
If they won’t provide a platform! → As a backup, I’ve also launched Meta ads (FB, Insta, Messenger) to reach our fellow vapers directly.
If you’d like to join in and help get the ads to reach even more people, you can do so here: Become a Supporter!
We’re moving on, we won’t stop at walls!

Hi everyone,
I also experienced some disappointment this weekend. I debated whether to write about it, but what the heck…
So, to help the petition succeed, I went as far as to approach a random, unknown vaper. It seemed like a good idea.
The story is about me traveling on a rural bus in Székesfehérvár (!), and at one stop, I saw a vaper get on, who had a more serious device in his hand. And since he sat right next to me on the bus, I seized the opportunity and approached him. I struck up a conversation with him, started telling him about Vaperina and the petition. Unfortunately, he was not receptive at all. He said he goes to Slovakia for supplies. When I told him how good it would be if we didn’t have to, he said he was fine with it this way, it’s a nice trip. Then he turned his head away, indicating that the conversation was over from his side, and sat away from me.
(Mentally, I gave him two slaps for his indifference, and I also gave myself two for my naivety.)
It was a learning experience…
But the point is, we don’t give up. I’ll get up, dust myself off, and move on.
Many people have already signed who are either casual vapers or just signed out of solidarity. So I’m spreading the word, let’s go!

Just like with me last time, the courier colleague.
I ask: Does he know the Vaperina site, possibly (hypothetically) is he a member, etc. (he had a “big” DL setup)
He’s not interested in anyone or anything, as long as he gets his monthly pay. 
He only puffs/knows Heisenberg. Whatever ml per month. 
I paid for my vape package and closed his car door!

I mentioned the forum to anyone in the “factory”, most of them are sucking on big neon-colored plastic 100-in-1 type assault weapons, and they weren’t really excited about developing in this or discussing it. A couple of old acquaintances might have registered, but they are probably “silent members” or don’t even log in much.

I just came across this, although it’s a bit of a ‘nothing burger’ because it doesn’t really explain where the alternatives stand in the hierarchy…

Why are you surprised… when the country is full of those who don’t care what (or who), as long as it’s not what it used to be. Unfortunately, we represent a minority, and because of that, indifference is a greatly amplified disadvantage.
