In my two months of vaping, I've learned the following:
[UPDATED 7/25/11] And now, from the amazing ECF members...
Thanks again for making me feel welcome, folks!
- If it's a flavor that appears on a continental breakfast, someone is vaping it.
- No matter how happy people are that we've quit analogs, it's still not appropriate to discuss condoms and .... plugs with your priest.
- Apparently, I owe drinks and thanks to a woman named Taryn, as she discovered "twirling."
- There is approximately one juice vendor for each member of this forum. We each get our own, and they all have "the world's best" RY4.
- In the ten minutes that have elapsed since beginning this post, everyone here has cracked a clearomizer.
- For the most authentic vaping experience, you need a handcrafted wooden box and a credit line at Home Depot.
- Buying a mall-brand e-cig will give you a rash that reeks of foreign cheese and regret.
- When cleaning and refilling cartomizers, it's okay to pretend that you're filming an episode of "Breaking Bad."
- Despite promises of overwhelming joy and eternal life, heaven's actual gifts come in the form of discounted bulk cartomizers.
- DeKang is not a new Hyundai sedan.
[UPDATED 7/25/11] And now, from the amazing ECF members...
- If you understand all the different battery chemistry's, sizes, styles, pros & cons of each, there's a free doctorate in electrical engineering available.
- Any failure in vapor production is due to insufficient modding of your PV / atty / carto.
- Painting your companies logo on a battery will make it last longer with more power.
- Six-of-one and half-a-dozen of the other...if you ask for opinions, you will get as many negatives as positives over a particular product or method related to vaping.
- Mall-kiosk vendors are the scum of the earth (after lawyers and realtors).
- Video reviews must feature loud rock music and young men mumbling, "dude" and "bro".
- What works for me, hopefully won't work for you - it's MY piece of paradise.
- There are some funny folks on ECF!
- The Moderators are mean. Especially that Angus person.
- Your mail carrier will eventually consider getting a restraining order against you for stalking.
- You will gradually turn your home into a chemistry lab as you hunt for the "perfect vape".
- At some point, you will suffer burnt cartos, burnt attys, juice in your mouth, or leaking stuff. But you will persevere in search of #21.
- Stealth vaping does not involve a ski mask, gloves, or walking on tip-toes hiding behind trees.
- On the other hand, some people's mods have bigger radar signatures than the V2.
- When using a drip tip, don't suck too hard or you'll end up with hot liquid in your mouth.
- You don't have to have a big eGo/Ego to have fun here...
- If all the 5ml sample bottles that everyone has stashed and doesn't like were laid end to end, they would reach to the moon and back.
- Atomic blaster, mega-cinnamon is actually made from spent nuclear fuel rods.
- There's no such thing as Tobacco flavored tobacco flavor.
- 55 gal drum cartos will be available sooner than you think.
- Atomizers the size of power station transformers will be available for the heavy dripper.
- Due to the recession, meat flavored juices will soon replace dinner.
- People like me who have fried their taste buds with 50 years of smoking analogs can't tell the difference between Bavarian Creame and Chilean Guano, although we swear we can.
- The most asked question on ECF is "Where can I find a PV that looks and tastes exactly like a cigarette?"
- It took me a burned hole in my pants and a blister the size of a quarter to figure out what the locking bottom switch feature is for.
- learning the hard way, that nic juice in the eye burns like hell!
- also developed a healthy fear of power outages!
- L.E.D's on mods, seem to make Eliquids atomize even faster.
- If you want a simple answer don't ask a simple question.................
- If a battery can fit in/on it it will be made into a PV
- The custom flavor that you LOVE today may be the same custom flavor you HATE in a week (and vice versa).
- The assertion that vaping is less expensive than analogs is the biggest lie since Bill Clinton claimed total ignorance of "that woman"
- No matter the capacity of a tank, there is always someone who vapes more than that in a day.
- The three greatest words ever written are "Out for delivery".
- If you're using carts, you're doing it wrong.
- Clouds of smoke were never as important as clouds of vapor are.
- A dedicated vaper should have enough backup batteries to power a small space station
- If you don't like a juice flavor you NEED to order the same one from every shop you know just to make sure.
- Free samples are never free
- If a battery can't fit with a little creative re-engineering duct tape or super glue and the right power tool you can make it fit.....
- The USPS has the most up to date tracking system on the planet.... NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The three worst words for a vapor.... Out of stock....
- Checking you shipping status or tracking every five minutes does not make you package arrive any sooner.....
- I forgot one, never buy anything solely based on positive reviews because the day after you buy it everyone will be talking about what a piece of ---- you just purchased.
- Always having problems with usps tracking system, checked a order and showed still in certain state checked mail not long after and it was in the mailbox. GO FIGURE!!!!
- If you spend less time on ECF and more time with the family, you will know when you move to a new state.
- No matter what problem you are having with your PV, battery, charger, or atomizer, dripping will make it better.
- The veteran vapors hate it when us "youngens" buy up every last available stock of new PV's
Thanks again for making me feel welcome, folks!
