Some new and interesting add-ons were installed along with the August 2022 major Xenforo forum software upgrade. The ThemeHouse Achievements and Leaderboards are two new add-ons. They work hand-in-hand.

This tutorial will cover Achievements, Leaderboards and XP. Since the upgrade many members have asked about each.


If you look at "Your Profile" page you will see the following displayed, it shows your current XP, Achievements and Level.




What is XP?

XP = Experience Points.

Historically experience points (XP) originated with the old Dungeons & Dragons role playing game (RPG). Points were generally gained by defeating an enemy or when completing a task.

Over time several gaming and non-gaming forums have implemented XP.

On ECF XP is the number of points a user receives each time an achievement is earned and for other activities. A users XP represents their activity and contribution to the forum.

XP are acquired by members for contributing content to the forum. Some contributions earn higher XP numbers. Experience Points (XP) are also a way to playfully encourage members to contribute to the forum.

Here are a few examples: A member is awarded XP for actions they do on the forum. For each post a member creates they are awarded 5 XP. Starting a new thread earns 10 XP. Creating a Media post earns 5 XP. On and on it goes.

After reaching a certain amount of XP (experience points), a member is leveled up (ex: level 1 to level 2 etc.). As a member earns more, and more, XP they continue being leveled up. Someone who is at Level 77, for example, has made many contributions to the forum. Once at higher levels it becomes more difficult to attain the next higher level.

ECF is using the logarithmic leveling formula. This makes it so that over time, it becomes harder to achieve the next level the higher you are in the leveling system.


What are Achievements?

Every member who has logged into ECF since Xenforo 2.x went live on 24 August 2022 has received several achievement alerts. The system is configured to alert users of all earned achievements.

There are currently 83 achievements. All the achievements can be seen here:


Looking at the above linked page, you will see that when a new member completes the basic ECF registration process and adds an avatar they earn 10 and 15 XP respectively. They are awarded these two achievements.

As a new member does more they earn additional achievements and XP.

Browsing through the achievements you will note the number of XP earned once an achievement is awarded.

Some examples: When a member creates their first post they are awarded 20 XP and earn the Message Poster achievement. Creating 10 threads earns the Thread Poster: Level 2 achievement and 75 XP. Creating a post on any of the holidays earns that achievement and 20 XP. An Ultimate Achiever earns 5000 XP.

Some achievements are earned only once while others can be earned multiple times. Over time system administrators can add new achievements as desired.

The rarity of an achievement indicates how difficult it is to earn. There are 4 achievement rarities. Lowest to highest: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

At the top of the Achievements page you will see your ECF overview.



The overview displays your current level, total XP, achievements, how much XP is needed to reach the next level and the number of rarity achievements you have earned. Additionally you can choose to "Show all" 83 achievements or "Show earned".

If you do not want to receive Achievements notifications you can turn them off. Simply click on the bell icon for each achievement to silence them.



Displayed next to each achievement is the number of members who have earned that achievement. In the following example, there are currently 73 members using the Bookmarks feature.



You can also see the achievements you have earned by clicking on the Achievements tab on "Your Profile" page.

Achievements can be added to your user information that is displayed when you post on the forum. See below my avatar for some examples. You will see three achievement icons. Hovering over an icon displays which achievement it is.

To add an achievement click on "Change achievements". You can select up to three achievements to be displayed. Those can be changed at any time. You can also deselect achievements so none are displayed. By default no achievements are displayed.


What is the Leaderboards?

ECF's Leaderboards page displays user information for Posts, Threads, Achievements, XP and Media.

A user can look at information for the current week or view any of the four previous weeks, display the current month or view any of the last four months.


• Posts displays the number of posts a member created (weekly/monthly)
• Threads shows the number of threads a user created (weekly/monthly)
• Achievements displays how many were earned by each member (weekly/monthly)
• XP shows the number of experience points awarded to a user (weekly/monthly)
• Media displays how many media items a member uploaded to the ECF Media page (weekly/monthly)

A quick note on Media: Historically members have posted photos of their vape gear. Some members have posted photos of their gardens or their pets. Any member can post media to the ECF Media page. It is very easy to do.

At the end of each week, month and year the members who rank 1-3 in each leaderboards category are notified via an alert.

The member who gets the #1 spot can earn one, or more, of the following achievements and XP:

• Rank 1 (1000 XP)
• Top Rank: Weekly (75 XP)
• Top Rank: Monthly (250 XP)
• Top Rank: Yearly (750 XP)

Those are some of the achievements that can be earned over and over again.


What does any of that do for me?

That all depends on what each individual member desires. Some will enjoy and embrace the enhanced user forum experience. Others may not care at all.

Users who desire an enriched forum experience, or those who are members on other forums using the same, or similar, add-ons will immediately recognize the value these add-ons bring to to ECF.

Some members have broached the subject of ECF seeing less activity. As I see it, and perhaps as ECF senior management sees it, add-ons like these can help to boost ECF user activity. That is something all members should desire.

I am having some weird issue. I am not sure how long to dry burn coils for and what wattage to use to dry burn on my RBA PRO Deck. The first coil build with 0.3ohm coil was very flavorful and sweet tasting (Ejuice) but the second and the third coil build don't taste anything like the first "Magical" built I made.
This is really first time owning an RBA deck. I am not sure if I am dry burning too long but the last 2 coil builds using the same exact coils and same exact cotton with same juice just taste nasty.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

FA Cheesecake Olympus 2.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
FW White Cake 2%
FA Graham Crust 1.5%
VTA Dark Chocolate 1.5%
VTA Macadamia Nut 2%

Suggested steep time = 4 weeks. Bakery and cream flavors dictate the steep time.

This one is a variation of the cheesecake recipe I posted earlier today. It's also another collaboration with my daughter.

For this one we decided on chocolate chip cheesecake bars with a nutty note. VTA Macadamia Nut fit the bill. It lends a nice mellow macadamia note to the mix. VTA MN is not a strong in-your-face nut. Knowing that I wasn't hesitant to use it at 2%. It adds a pleasing nutty note but not one that screams "NUTS".

The same notes from the cheesecake recipe I posted earlier apply to FA Cheesecake Olympus and WF Vanilla Cream Extra in this mix.

We bumped the dark chocolate up to 1.5% for more of that semi-sweet chocolate chip flavor. VTA Dark Chocolate could be pushed to 2% if more chocolate flavor is desired. Alternatively, one of the other VTA chocolate flavors would work up to 2%.

FW White Cake and FA Graham Crust create the overall thicker crust cheesecake bars are noted for.

Adding a fruit ---> the same notes apply from our other cheesecake recipe (posted earlier today).

Chocolate Swirl Greek Cheesecake

FA Cheesecake Olympus 2.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
FW White Cake 2.5%
FA Graham Crust 1.5%
WF Crumble Topping 1%
VTA Dark Chocolate 1.25%

Suggested steep time = 4 weeks. Bakery and cream flavors dictate the steep time.

Usually, the flavor profile of cheesecakes lies in between sweet and sour. Some New York cheesecakes use sour cream in the recipe. This adds an extra sour flavor to the pastry. I did not want that sour note in mine.

For my recipe I wanted a cheesecake that came closest to a sweeter tasting Greek cheesecake. I wanted the cheesecake note to be more mellow and milder. That's where FA Cheesecake Olympus comes into play. I had a conversation with Flavour Art Italy and learned the cheese note in FA CO closely resembles that of a Greek glykia myzithra (sweet myzithra). Myzithra cheese is rich with a silky creaminess and a fairly light tangy note.

I am very impressed with FA Cheesecake Olympus. It's an excellent cheesecake flavor with no off notes. I felt it needed to be paired with another cream. WF VCE was the perfect choice. Together they make a pleasing cheesecake. WF VCE adds a vanilla note found in a classic Greek cheesecake.

FW White Cake adds a slight cakey texture to my cheesecake. FA Graham Crust combined with WF Crumble Topping make a wonderful crust.

For the chocolate swirl I chose VTA Dark Chocolate. I wanted a light tasting chocolate swirl, one that would not change my cheesecake into an all out chocolate cheesecake. 1.25% VTA DC worked perfectly for the swirl. WF VCE helps in making the chocolate note something less than a straight-up dark chocolate.

When vaping this mix the creamy cheesecake is out front followed by the cakey crust. The chocolate swirl is experienced on the backside. It's tasty.

A fruit (or two) could be added to the recipe without mucking up the mix. A blueberry, raspberry or strawberry. Or even tropical fruits... like a banana, kiwi, mango, orange, pineapple etc. I would suggest going with a light touch percentage-wise. Doing so will leave the cheesecake as intended without drowning it out.

Any of the above fruits will work nicely with chocolate. Drop VTA Dark Chocolate for a blank cheesecake canvas with which to add other desired flavors.


ETA: Ooooops!!! Forgot to give credit to my youngest daughter. This was a collaboration. She took the lead. Kiddo is getting good with DIY.

Hey all
I bought my 1st vape kit today hoping to quit/reduce/transition from smoking 20-30 cigs a day.

My first impression is this is my most likely way to succeed but I’m not yet convinced. I get that it’s never going to be the same as smoking a cigarette but I sometimes feel like I still need a smoke after a few puffs of the vape.

I’m not sure whether it’s the e-juice flavor or my vaping method but it’s not enough to feel like a cigarette replacement yet. Would love to hear from others who felt the same

I’m 52 years old. Regular smoker from my early teens. Full time 20+ ciggies a day from late teens. Changing this long term habit has become a health priority

Nicotine patches and gum etc have never appealed to me as my enjoyment comes more from the physical and psychological “act” of smoking rather than a nicotine addiction.

Does anyone know what is the perfect wire gage, wrap count and inner diameter for a Mission XV Orbit RBA? Mainly I'm after battery longevity and maximum flavor. Will most likely go with round wire since it will be cheaper. I'll be going through builds pretty quickly due to the Dessert flavors I really love.

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

I've been somewhat out of the loop and was very unpleasantly surprised to notice that fasttech is no more. I did find a thread with about 5 alternatives, but they weren't all that great, particularly because I have yet to to find a site that ships Titanium wire. I don't want anything "fancy" (Clapton and whatever else people like to use. I just want plain wire). Reason for my 'obsession' is that I'm a big fan of Temperature Control, and I don't wanna use Ni200 anymore (some of my mods struggle with these low resistances, plus there's the thing that it can be harmful above certain temps), and other than SS316, I think there's only TI. So, fellow TC vapers, do you know of a shop who ships this type of wire to Europe?

Hi guys!

Asking for a little help, what material, at what ohms should I aim for, when I want to use 50/50 12mg juice in my Oxva Arbiter Solo successfully.

It wasnt actually the juice what was bad, my setup was 2 big for the juice, giving a harsh PG draw flavour was quite ok, I would want less PG feel and more flavour feel, like you would use a disposable vape pen.

I think I should aim for a really thin wire, using as less metal as possible, and towards 5W. I had before a 5 wrap ss316l 32g, at 215C and 15W, it was too harsh to vape that juice.

What should I try?

I need to retail e-cigarette oil, but many retail websites don't support mailing to China, and online retailers in the state where the transshipment company is located can't mail it because of the restrictions of the law.

I have a box of 10x5packs of Smok V8 baby T12 light coil. The coils are duodecouple at .15 ohm They are recommended between 50 and 90 watts but with the best performance between 60 and 80 watts. And they do have an LED that as far as I know cannot be turned off.

I have used these and didn't feel that the LED drained my batteries much. It's not an intrusive light it's just a slight glow and only comes on when you're pressing the power though it does have to be at least at a certain number of watts but that won't be a challenge because these coils really don't work optimally at like 25 watts. And that's most of the reason why I'm getting rid of them. At 35 w I was able to get a good vape in my opinion but that's subjective.

These are the original baby beast coil. They are compatible with a huge number of other tanks from other brands and from Smok. If you have a question about compatibility and I can answer it I'm happy to there are lists of compatibility online.

There are 10 packs of five coils. I will ship them in their retail box and can fold down the large distributor box and add it to the envelope. The dimensions of them in their manufacturer's box raises the shipping cost. And the shipping cost due to coils weighing so much is likely to be just below $10. So with that in mind I'm asking for

$40 for 50 coils shipped Conus
you pay any extras for insurance priority etc.
PayPal no mention of vaping
Or trade for vaporesso GT cores at two smok 5pks for one vaporesso 3pk so long as the amount of coil packs you have makes it worth the shipping
